4:02 pm
elections have taken place in an atmosphere of intimidating critical and independent voices. and these elections took place without credible international observation. and we taken all of our independent and reliable sources reporting serious violation during the world. the doom or elections represent a serious step back for democratic freedoms in russia. the measures taken by the russian or sorties to marginalize civil society, silence independent media, and exclude genuine opposition. candidates from participating in the elections undermine political plurality and are at odds with the international commitments that russia have signed up to. well, here the numbers united russia has almost 50 percent, the communists perennially and 2nd place up 19 and the liberal democrats, 8 percent. and just russia, which has merged with 2 smaller parties, has around 7 and a half percent at a new party in the selection,
4:03 pm
new people has just above the 5 percent threshold needed to have a presence in parliament. now these results on the final then the council, half of the $450.00 contested seats as russia also vote for individual candidates as well as parties. now, over the course of the free day vote, western media ramped up their attacks on russian democracy. these are gonna help us unity to discredit the duma vote is some of the reaction. we've been hearing 2 attacks on the process. this is something that doesn't have to do with the election . so no, these roacha phobia that you have in the world now it's, it's deep inside people of both the bodies minds. they, the, they want to feel like the so even before starting the, i think old elections are rig there is, there is a problem. so i come here as an observer, lots of, of the observers are coming here so we could testify the process. we could be everything working. so i really, this is the agenda. this is a problem of agenda. even if you have the most transparent elections, the vast elections ever with hulu, of observers,
4:04 pm
it won't change. and i think we should question this kind of agenda, this kind of strategy there is in the world towards russia. i think obviously the west is always a bit nervous with russia and when it comes to elections that shows up. certainly not very diplomatic. just i think if one wants to judge the fairness of elections, one should got the maximum amount of information. it rather, it rather seems that this, that hadn't been done. my view is there i elections in russia than it's for the russian people to determine what form of democracy should exist in this country. and which parties should govern it. it's not really a matter for the european union, for many the west elections, especially elections in russia, in the political process. it's about the fight for power and not only domestically, it's about the 5 power internationally. many of those organizations don't hide
4:05 pm
pretty strong disregard and dislike for the leadership of this country, and therefore they, they use any opportunity to describe whatever happens here. everything is getting wider and more representative, but obviously there will always be some people who don't like what's happening here simply because they, they see russia as, as an evil force. i'm sorry to say that the western partners who are committed to democracy are actually trying to use money today to discredit our elections and democratic procedures. in fact, by lowering the confidence the russian people have in the institutions of democracy . what's this makes us very sad because we're ready to develop democracy. we're building and developing modern processes and technology. i live in the day will research so can look at a new party that's on its way into parliament. while what are 3 days, it's been so far and the results are continuing to pour in. so
4:06 pm

4:09 pm
a journalist with the observers. international observers waiting for the results over seeing how the digital electronic voting system has been put together to to, to produce results. i mean, they gain trust the see also a lot of competition. i think you in, judging by the results, you might think there's all of the same. well, maybe there is another fit before getting into the in, into the parliament. but at the same time, we are inside saw why the fierce competition devoted. so it some sort of online, foreign interference, accusations have been made and you have any problems with your systems. did you have any hoc attacks? we had reports that they were cyber attacks. we had reports of quite severe and multiple attempts to do to disrupt the whole all our systems, but they would the stood as far as far as were at the moment we haven't had any infringements on the results of the guns. open
4:10 pm

4:11 pm
a visit. a crowd of people was running, followed by a young man with a gun who was shooting. i thought it was the next minute so that one person fell on the grass there. why don't we just do this? we're not serious. so we're locked the door in the gains office from the inside. it all started at 20 part 11, and we had been st in there for an hour, and then the police knocked our door and they began to evacuate. the shooting took place in our building. i didn't have the show, but when i was leaving university, a group of people had already got tons out. we had 15 minutes earlier. we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually can be a building next time we are in the 1st building out that it was this little practice. today. me are the sources at the university say that a panic button which could have alerted,
4:12 pm
everyone on campus wasn't activated because the college responsible for using it was one of the 1st to be killed. again, please be aware that the following video is distressing. this is a lead security footage of the incident. the government shot his way into the university where the security guard tried to stop him. he was immediately killed a traffic police inspector dealing with a nearby road accident and brushed to the same heroic officer named as constantine committee and risked his life to stop the suspect. who also find out if i was on duty and was dealing with a road traffic accident when an eye witness run into the office and said there was a shooting near the university. my colleague and i went to check, we saw people running out of the university and also her shooting my colleague, organize the evacuation. while i ran to the main entrance, i asked witnesses where the shooting came from. they said on the 2nd floor i ran into the building and saw an armed person coming down the stairs. i shouted to him to put down the weapon. the young man pointed the gun. that's me. and for the short,
4:13 pm
after that, i fired and returned. the young man fell down, i ran closer and pinned him down. i took away his gun and ammunition and a knife. and then i began administering 1st aid to him on the person suspected of carrying out the shootings now in the hospital where it is understood to be in a critical condition. a local correspondent has the details. so pretty little difficult. everything happened around noon according to the various sources between 11 and 12 o'clock and i felt an unknown person came to the universe, a ground. he passed through a checkpoint and his photo evidence that he started shooting already there. then he went to the main building and opened the file that followed him, firing a series of shots inside the building. the students teach his university stuff, started jumping out of the windows on the 2nd floor. then lower enforcement officers arrived at the scene as well as ambulance teams. the police did everything to stop the attack of attempt to shoot more people. he seriously injured unverified
4:14 pm
pictures published on social networks, medics administering 1st day to the lead shoot. assistance to the victims is also provided by eye witnesses who at the university at the time of the incident, students, teachers, and university staff. according to the latest information, the shooter is an 18 year old student of former law student. but this information has yet to be verified. in the investigative committee announced that a criminal case has been opened. of this, i'm verified videos, understood to show the suspect, leaving his house and getting into a blue mazda that would take him to the university. he has a back with him that may be big enough to hold a gun again. we can't confirm if this video is genuinely off the man still responsible for the shooting. it's believe that the shoot purchased ammunition or local guns store in august. this video shows the moment the suspect reaches the county. we spoke to the director of an educational center where the suspect completed his weapons training it transpired,
4:15 pm
the direct his child was at the perm university when the shooting happened. good, pretty nice that he completed his training in april. it's only an 8 hour program for all types of weapons. click out program does not give permission to buy weapons that comes from the licensing department of the national guard completely understand the sooner the need is the national guard that carries out all checks and the medical commission data is also provided that even the examination is carried out by the national guard inspector, no task. you should also understand that this cannot be foreseen. we cannot look into a person's head into his soul senior, my child called me now. he studies at this university as well and was locked in one of the rooms. when i found out that this beast was studying ital facility, can you imagine how i felt it? thank god, everything seems to be okay with my child. but all this is very hard for me. of course, i have already brought up all documents on this person. official from the russian
4:16 pm
investigative committee, or among those at the same compiling information on the renders attack. they could be seen photographic evidence and collecting spent cartridges. eye witnesses are also being questioned and forensic specialists will so have a site kevin over and heard more about the victims from correspondent dunham quarter or beginning to see a lot of reports in the media and various media outlets with some initial information about the victims who suffered in this tragic mass shooting. we know that one of the leading medics in the region in which perm is located, where the mass shooting took place. it was margarita and house. and unfortunately she was shot dead by the gunman. she was actually on a tour of the university with her grandchild at the time that that happened. so definitely a very tragic incident. and we have gotten some international reaction for an officials from sweden and norway have given their condolences to the families that have lost their loved ones in this,
4:17 pm
in this mass shooting. and we also heard from president vladimir putin. he gave his comment on, on this situation, he called it an enormous calamity for the entire country because you, my condolences cannot drown out the upset of our loss. this is a huge disaster for the entire country, but the law enforces we'll do the best to investigate this terrible crime and find out the reasons for what has happened. full authority will take all necessary measures to help the families of the victims and those injured ones. you'd expect a response that coming from the top very soon on, but of course president post and spoken about this kind of thing before. it's not the 1st time this has happened in russia, sadly, so it's gonna make big headlines. it is rare, but he's spoken about it before and they yeah, absolutely. i mean, i'm sure a lot of people, especially in russia, are watching the tv right now. thinking about probably the last mass shooting that took place that took place just this year actually in may in the russian city of because on back then, the shooter was a 19 year old boy. he was saying things like he hated everyone around him and he
4:18 pm
that he said that he was and he tried to kill himself in the cop car that he was in after he was detained. luckily the police were able to prevent him from doing that . many said he was mentally insane in the media and people that knew him, the investigative committee has yet to confirm that, but the indications are looking that way. let's re revisit those events that transpired in because on oh, who in the in the
4:19 pm
now after that tragic mass shooting took place, like you said, russian president vladimir putin also commented, gave his condolences to the families that lost loved ones in that terrible mass shooting. we can even go back farther to another mass shooting that took place, encouraged crimea, back in 2018. that had a lot of parallels to what we just saw in cars on actually just on the screen. the shooter back in 2018 and kurtz was 18 years old, just around the same age as the shooter. and because on 19 years old,
4:20 pm
he was also said to have hated everyone at the school. he went to even, apparently idolized the government from the columbine high school shooting that took place in the 1900 ninety's in the united states. and russian president vladimir putin at that time said that the, the reason for this was, was most likely a consequence of globalization. he said, and going back to the cause on shooting, not just prudent, but other russian officials as well. this brought them to think more about perhaps tightening the gun laws in russia. maybe that this would be a solution to this, to these a string of shootings. and that has made it up all the way up to the government. duma and the politicians have been talking about it, but it hasn't been passed yet. maybe this. this 3rd one could push policy in that direction. european commission presidents described treatment of france by 3 non e u countries as unacceptable. it followed australia abruptly dishing an existing
4:21 pm
multi $1000000000.00 submarine contract with paris in favor of the united states as a new security pact between cambra, the u. k and washington was revealed. frances responded with the cancellation of top level events with the u. k. as each rally explained, the french defense ministry cancelling summit that was due to be held a bilateral summit with the brits. we understand that there were reports of florence, paula, who is the french defense minister, personally called for that meeting to be council. the british side are denying it, they say that this is merely a postponement. it's not a cancellation of that. 3 meeting the french side, haven't commented on those reports yet, but that it all comes, of course, as tensions continue, higher is losing out on billions in contracts supply. the latest announcement of a new license, if you will, between the u. k. the united states and australia,
4:22 pm
part of that is the analysis of a multi $1000000000.00 submarine deal. the only snag is australia had already agreed to deal with the french, according to paris, and they are now reneging on that deal. and some of the was coming out from the french side really harsh when it comes to their view of events, saying that when 2 sides reach an agreement, they must stick to that word. keeping one's word is the condition of trust between democracies and between allies. so it is unthinkable to move forward on trade negotiations as if nothing had happened with the country in which we no longer trust. now, part of the political fallout that continues as a result of this is the decision by the french government. recall it some buses to both the united states and australia and the french foreign minister joined eve, largely on again outlining the deep sense of anger in paris. over these developments there was a lie, there was due place city, there was
4:23 pm
a major breach of trust in there was disdain. so things are not going well between us. not at all. it means that there is a crisis. we cannot play like this between allies and when you have an ally, you don't treat it in such a brutal and unpredictable way. so there is really a crisis to play masses was the wiki leaks. publishing group have released the number of documents, exposing american conduct towards france during the 2012 elections that in front of the spots is that these documents show an intention on the part of the cia to conduct infiltration of some of the political parties taking part. now again, all of this comes against the backdrop of those ties between america and some of its close as allies already strained because of the manner and chaotic manner in which nato led by the us withdrew from afghanistan already many french, and other continental european powers. calling for europe to go its own way when it
4:24 pm
comes to military affairs. and these types of developments with a seemingly the anglo phone world sticking together will do nothing to make those ties any stronger. i was if the troubled caribbean nation of haiti wasn't that enough trauma with hundreds of thousands of displaced by a deadly earthquake and also the political turmoil following the president's assassination. now the united states is piling on the ac in a by deporting thousands of illegal migrants back to the impoverished nation haitian authorities a pleading for humanitarian moratorium on the flights which started on sunday, bringing around 300 migrants to the haitian capital. 6 more flights are expected on tuesday. the us so far it is looking to expel from 17000 people, most of the nation from the texas border with mexico. some are being kept in holding facilities low, many more remained in a makeshift camp under a bridge in the state south. the biden administration only came on a fire from the mayor of the texas city at the center of the crisis and the states
4:25 pm
governor. i think the transparency would make it at the white house. i definitely need to address and address way sending real high and you don't know what happening at this other it is the federal government's job to secure our border. but the bottom ministration has failed to do his job. over the last week, the board city of delray, i was overwhelmed by an influx of migrants across the rio grande river, along which the border runs and set up camp. the my joints were reportedly bolden by rumors suggesting joe biden had opened the border. ah, ah,
4:26 pm
ah. okay, with us now is the republican party strategist current job. i was also a senior advisor to the 2016 trump campaign carol. welcome to our t. keeping our legal immigrants with the central tenant says mr. trump's presidency and his campaigns. what are your thoughts on the, by the ministration, tackling it, the operating hello call and thank you for having me on. the operative word here is illegal versus legal. and we have seen an uptick, and you legal immigrants coming to the southern border in unprecedented numbers since the by the administration took charge. and all of it could have been prevented if he kept the trump era policies in place which is remain in mexico. and the deterrent for families,
4:27 pm
migrants from small children to single adults from entering our country illegally the 13000 haitian that you referenced earlier according to buying the homeland security director. he is essentially saying that, that good a good portion of the 13000 are not even coming from haiti proper that these are haitians at a very fled katie in droves from poverty to the last earthquake that occurred to find solace and an opportunity elsewhere somewhere in south america, brazil, and some of the other countries and they've made their way to the southern border. so they're included in that 13000 just didn't for the, for clarity purposes. the biden administration is absolutely darrell
4:28 pm
active duty here. he's the only president of the united states that can claim that he's created a crisis to crisis at the same time, one in our southern border and one in afghan. a stan, it's not only a humanitarian crisis is also a national security one in the white house just responding to the texas. officials from the republicans in general been calling for look, the bike net ministration has dropped the ball or they're incompetent, or this is by design. our border patrol agents that are stretched too, too thin. and there's already the influx of over $200000.00. you leave immigrants per month pouring into our country. now to give this some perspective in the early turn of the century, 19th century, excuse me, the 20th century,
4:29 pm
900100. when immigrants came in through ellis island, there were the protocol and procedures, and there was a separation of those who were sick to be quarantined until they were determined fit to be able to enter the population so that they would not go into new york city . and larger portions of the united states and in fact others. and that's, that's the way that we should be doing this now. but, but as you, as you notice, there are so many number a number of, of illegal immigrants at our southern border that it's impossible for us to put any protocols in place other, other than to put them in to detention centers or just to catch and release okay, have to leave a comment on a republican party strategist. thanks for joining us. we're florida and that's the way it looks from moscow. for now, i'm call him right back with the next update. had half an hour see it. the
