and now almost a 100 years later, history is repeating itself. my great grandfather, george time, went to russia. i'm probably the worst time to go anywhere. why not mean? what is i come here? ah, ah, counting is well underway. rushes parliamentary elections with more than 40 percent of the was counted already renewed all the latest as the result continued to come in. i am now convinced that as many as 2 civilians, including up to 7 children, were tragically killed in that story. it was a mistake, and i also my sincere apology. we stopped stories on r. c. us mid of treadmill to killing 10 civilians and a bushel striking cobble last month to thrive before marcus pull out from up got his son. i think 3 weeks,

solutions into knowledge or now cold and horrible with say, initially a full claim. a terrorists have been heads and for the pastime front. recall that some boxes from the u. s. and the trailer, accusing them of lying and having over security are also including the u. k. on seen as countering china. ah, this is on seen to national bringing you the latest on the russian stay demon elections as well as a ramp up of the top stories of the past week. i knew dash bob oliver, thank you for joining us. now. ballot counting in the russian stay do my elections as well and away and the preliminary results are continuing to trickle. then it's 3 am in the morning here in most good and just 40 percent of the vote. have been counted so far, giving us

a rough idea of the makeup of versus the house of parliament. so this is how the part is currently stand. united russia has 45 percent of the bud becoming in his ponds here. the russian federation would generate come 2nd. just on the 23 percent . now, the liberal democratic party of russia has just over 8 percent. adjust russia, which recently merged with 2 smaller parties, is next on 7 and a half percent. and a new policy in the selection code. new people has 6 percent, which is enough to 100 seats in the parliament. so these results of course, are no final, and they're also only harmful before $150.00 can tested, sees as russians also voted for individual candidates as well as parties and his and explain the

so throughout the week, he has been broadcasting from the very heart of moscow and its special elections teeter and today daniel hawkins and self care tailor have been braving the wind and the rain to bring us all the latest on the russian stay doing elections. so let's take a quick click. some of the highlights on the final day of voting. the, all the halls are moscow. and if you've been shooting in throughout the week, you know, on the rooftop, the best view in south to help the best weather. we're going to bring you the coverage. all the 2021 russian parliamentary election counting is now well underway all across the country and my goodness isn't a big country, so calcium dust take

a long time. what of course, we also know that the whole lesson process works differently in many, many countries, which i know welcome to the cedar followed, remodel the member of the chamber of deputies of the italian parliament who was among the international observers here at the russian state election thanks for joining us in the program today. we're not gonna keep you long preset. it's cold, but you get to get your, your insight hits. you put an observer italian elections as well. what's been your experience here in moscow in russia? how do the elections compare? what have you been noticing? we visited around the 20 police station by what i saw. everything was working pretty good and my country, you know, we have a long tradition about selection from the recycling war. so we have a kind of more anxious system. we don't have to come there, we don't have the opportunity to vote by them by, by the web buttons. and let's say that's going around the world. it could be also interesting for us if we want to find a way to,

to arrange it in a more modern way our system of action. so now, i mean, we know there are few observers this time round because of an internationally, for example, the united nation said that they were, they were going to be sunday and the rather, sorry, did you. and they said, while we think may be watching, sorry, of being difficult. how did you fly from your experience when you were in the polling station? did you feel that you were welcomed in? oh, yes it was here was good. i can see i. i was able to talk with president of a police station everywhere he was going to understand of a problem. so to understand the ego, so putting spatial, so everything was fine. i think 1st time of elections in russia. know if the 2nd one, because i was here almost a little bit for one area goal for of course will taishan change shoulders. and the

last time we were able to be saving the 5 bullying stations, we had a very big experience about the bullying station in moscow. near i shop. all right, paula grimaldi, member of the italian chamber deputy. thanks so much for your time. and of course, it's not just the old new residence. you've been keen to get a reaction over the past few days. this cute of colgate. what were along to the polling station with its own up all the acres. i mean, have you ever seen a case called the pop was the only 4 legged friend to visit the pontiff boxes just to hear, while up the baseball. but cool thing, a bit more of a commotion was a recount. i one polling stations 7 minutes giving police the slip before it was finally cornered. believe it or not, it had been brought along by a vote for support. just go to say nothing, not even

a pat recruiting that can stop you from doing your right to vote and your duty. and for me to flip this one mind was the last or decided to make a grand entrance to show rocky turned up in a deep sea diving outfit designed for the navy. the quite an obvious lack of ocean made for the last of the stuff. so i thought exactly thought that you wouldn't expect to see or hear out a rush. let's set a bus. so that was something you wouldn't expect to hear. a rush lesson sounds exactly what the famous french actors are. all just said, well costing his vote. now it actually was quite big news. what happened with grand russian citizenship back in 2013. he's had quite a few election to vote and you told john that he likes the fact that there was so many candidates to choose from 14 parties. like i said, rocket record number is facing this time to buy from us from. 1 a very rainy, very what, but very useful on the left must go from our resort election to do the

and we're now starting to get a rough idea of the makeup of the state duma for the next 2 years. as i mentioned earlier, united russia party, i currently has about 45 percent of the quote and it's tough said just over 40 percent of the ballots have been counted. the policy is not close to the result. it achieved during the 2016 elections. the united russia is the ruling party. it's also the largest in the country. it's trammel. if the former prime minister was present to me trim, innovative, the part i suppose, the program on the current president and among his goals is trying thing russia sovereignty. if it can make a trying to include support for domestic industry with an emphasis on high tech sectors on constantino's called for ports now from united russia. everyone here seems to be in high spirits and you're going to see the stage over my shoulder.

we're one of the party leaders has just congratulated the audience with a quote unquote clear victory. however, at this point, it doesn't look like beat, overwhelming victory as it was during the last election. we're looking at the preliminary results here that show united russia with a 38.5 percent of the vote. another exit poll suggests it's close to 45 percent, but anyway, it's a decrease. as of now, it's a decrease from the last parliament reelection in 2016 when the party gained 54 percent. not all of the ballots have been counted yet, and the numbers may change. also, you have to realize that united russia is leading in many constituency elections across the country, which will help the party to secure ex receipts in the lower parliament. i retain a simple majority of please simple majority to be accurate. we're looking at $131.00. it's a preliminary number of united russia, the candidates leading in their constituency as if now. anyway,

it seems that for united russia to repeated success and have a super majority in this may do much 2 thirds of the seeds, which allows the faction to pass legislation without looking towards the opposition . well, this is a tall order many way on the side. now we had a chance to exclusively talk with the current on my case going, he was present united. he also said that regardless of the outcome, the already going down on the african american joint operating in russia. there's some good media influences growing by the year, especially when it comes to young people. and of course the fans or the tech jobs from the line with american lord, not with rushes, one operating in our country is wrong, and we'll change that. we have a draw bill, a rounding nose id for patient in the russian federation. unfair responsibility.

you know, if they break particularly and face for information that seem to stream it by russian authorities such groups that will be held accountable and not huge. big cities that affects the voter turnout among us. everybody like count, if we don't want to hand our electron racing on to us on united russia, which supports the kremlin latimer who has been the country dominant political force foundation in the 1001 whatever. the parties are indeed already pub learning, the waned and the years is actually pretty much going on to that united value actually taken up already live in chosen some of the country, the most popular political personality cities. black. she began to like the fact that it's showing foreign minister, elaborate 3rd on the list by the way,

the new comic and politics, and he's present new pain to prominent early 2020 of the had dr. rushes made of wireless hospital soon. we'll see if the approach to fade off and as i said, united russia is leading a preliminary result. but it's still unclear if they will manage to repeat their previous success and completely dominate the do know a new color to the russian police car landscape a loose like it's make it's mark in this election. the new people policy currently has just over 6 percent of the boat. that's over the 5 percent threshold required to enter the countries low chain, both parliament, the state duma. the new people party was found and jesse, erica is considered to be sent to write. it pledges to find a game bureaucracy in the country and stands for the migration of police constitutions. the policy promoted social justice, and support the development of modern technology, science and education. our correspondent eager stano has been keeping an eye on the part. his result were in 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 off to party for the parliamentary elections. there's political experts analyst as panels of guest happening as we speak, and of course, candidates here as well. but as you're 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 full parts. he's currently represented in the lower house of the russian parliament. and, well, what better way to find out about the parties policy than what they're all about after all, even in russia, not that many people might know about them because they have only been form just a year ago, but still hasn't hampered them from already. they seem to be bagging just of just

below 7 percent of the votes, but without any further ado, i'm being joined by the number 2 of the new people who bought the store. we choose to with you pertaining to how are you feeling at the moment and what do you think of the preliminary results? the, even the preliminary results are quite impressive for a new party taking part in the federal election for the 1st time. we feel tremendous support. it's a huge responsibility. what is especially encouraging is that russians across the world voted for our party. it's amazing to 3 as lovely via chicago. what are the 3 main things that you should know about possibly eluded me and somebody, me, and we represent the modern russia, a country striving to employ common sense in decision making. one that takes a rational approach when considering various issues. the main point is that our party is the voice of the russian regions. the regional agenda is top priority and

wherever we go, it enjoys people's support. so we start, donna, changes for you, the advisor to the head of the new people party. i will be standing by to bring you all the latest as to how things unfold and how the figures change. i was coming up shortly. the do us admit the trans try can cannibal and the 29th that killed 10 people, including 7 children or the mistake based off of the news . what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the, the war may have become americans, but a warning defeat had become even more important and what is unfolded. watershed moment down in history books. as a mocking beginning of the end of american preeminence. this is the end of america . i me the news the welcome back time now to some

of the biggest stories of the week, the united states this week, i acknowledge that late august trans trying and i've got a son killed 10 civilians including 7 children and not a single terrorist. washington had initially claimed this trial was necessary to prevent an attack on campbell airport in the final days before americans military withdraw. oh. busy ringback busy the. busy me on friday i told us commander admitted the john strike was that he called a mistake marine corps, general kenneth mackenzie. i apologized and acknowledged that those code and what was a residential area of campbell were not associated with the terror group. i s 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 assess that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with k or were a director at to us forces. there was a mistake, and i offer my sincere apology. america's last drone strike officially of the, of the afghan war, turned into a terrible tragedy where we heard them tried to justify these as strikes, say that they saw him this vehicle in year and isis compound that they saw him looting containers, which turned out to be water containers into his god. we found that very quickly that what the united states said and what people were reporting on the ground, the witnesses, and the body count that they didn't fit with the american narrative. the guy, the bind administration drone was he and

a worker or an isis 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 in 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 reviewing. we'll see you think you'd kind of know before you're off, somebody with a predator drone 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 . 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 they were children in the vicinity. as the me sob was being law school 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, did a terrible tragedy. it says it'll try to try to learn the lessons that ought to be learned here. but ultimately it says, our ability to strike in a dentist on against future targets remains undiminished. so don't take this as a sign of weakness. that is what they said. this is an evacuation in the war that 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 hom, president biden, but many of them will ready, publicly admitted that may be impossible. the youngest victims of that august 29 striking campbell where 2 girls, both h to the man who was targeted, turned out to band aid work. us forces apparently thought he was loading onto the truck, but those sent out the water bottles. his brother was among the grieving family members who shared that stories with a special project called and heard voices. you can watch it now for any time on a dot com, but he is a preview. saw the sandals belong to melinda. 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 airstrike on a vehicle known to be an imminent isis k threads. on the morning of the bombing, she came and said, good morning, father was her last meeting. i will never see her again. k lived in this house with these children, members of stupid thought without any proof, without any investigation. our children will never give a full pentagon security analyst and an ex intelligence office. they gave us values on the us apology and the deep underlying issues it reveals. it is a little unusual for them to admit to a mistake. then they used to be bombings all the time in syria and northern iraq. they hardly ever admitted to it. the pentagon really had no choice but to look into it. so the general takes responsibility and they're gonna 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 terrorist and 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 a screen under great pressure from his commander in chief to be seen 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, we fire missile, we do a building, a car had nothing to do with isis. united states should not be employed, weapons,

ap hazard lee in a manner which ends up killing thousands of innocent civilians. remember these last 10 or just the, the final exclamation on a program that was killed thousands of innocence. the same way this happened with bad intelligence. bad information and political pressure to be seen was doing something on top of some uncomfortable questions of that bush trying to strike b. u. s. secretary of state also came in for more criticism from us lawmakers during the week with focus falling, falling on the body and ministrations handling of the withdrawal. i don't know how it's possible if in fact the people in charge of our foreign policy did not see all of these factors and conclude that there was a very real possibility of a rep, very rapid collapse. and we've got the wrong people making military and diplomacy decisions in our government. the washington post called it a moral disaster. i think it's

a moral disgrace. you nearly dislocated your shoulder though, patting yourself on the back for the great job you've done. i mean, just yesterday you stated we did the right thing by our citizens in working feverishly to get every one of them out. if you didn't get every one of them out, this administration's bungle pull out from afghanistan just may be the worst foreign affairs disaster in american history or blink. and of course, he is culpable in many ways, but the department of defense is the, is a big player here. and a tone of the questioning is really political theater. and you can, you can kind of watch it on both sides. it's more entertaining than it is revealing . we blame trump for everything. we don't see signs that i assessed the situation 8 months ago, let's say in january, let's say at the end of january when he took power. it didn't seem like he was really assessing what he had been left by the previous administration. and that's

the duty of all presidents as they tread for power. so he can blame trump. i don't think it's, it's really valid in this case. france has for the 1st time, recorded some boxes from the us and australia. it's a declaration of outrage over new pacific security parks and building washington and cambra plans. the u. k, which is new for in secretary, had defended the box with the french foreign minister, dealing out some direct words for the tree. wells, nations you that has been lying. duplicity is a major breach of trust and contempt. this will not detail the things are not going well between us. they're not going well at all. 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 in defending our interests and challenging unfair practices and malign acts. when you agreement as

cold or case, day 3 nations will shed days on strategic areas including cybersecurity and nuclear defense, under the terms of training will acquire a nuclear power it's submarines leave with the ease of american and british technology. and it's meant this cropping of a multi 1000000000 year a submarine contract between cambra and paris. charlotte davinsky has been taking a closer look. oh, that was the wrong thing for us to their relations with this deal. 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 back. a relationship of trust have been built with australia and this trust has been betrayed. is police. we signed an agreement, a strategic partnership, violating it would be the same as breaking

a promise. and when it comes to the field of geopolitics and international relations breaking promises unacceptable. so instead of 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 events less right. and then to get together with the fraley and the us have been told relations have sunk so low from says recall that some passages from both countries. i understand they're disappointed and that's very, very clear. and we'll work through those issues. they're important part of france, particularly here in the pacific, where we have so many shared interests. and so we'll work through that some now questioning, if the nato alliance can come by nato isn't working as it's supposed to be. that was initially supposed to be working. it is, there are alliances within the alliance 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 u. s. 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 cross have been chatted on the side of the atlantic. but this, you could have much wider repercussions showing you had time to. i think it was, it came to the whole rule. may all you should you, the us 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. geopolitical perception, view chinese developments in a correct way and stop interfering in china, internal affairs when they don't weight. but it could be a freely to a thing. normally, it takes some tension between the us and the new truck. and it should need to come

in goes pacific is web. didn't want to foreign policy city focus. joiner is i'm likely to take that thing down show that people sky see power and those were the main headlines of the day and the week up next, and also international. it's our document re and for our use in the us, it's american lawyer. ah, look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would like.
