as simple as this, we would show new people to the the the, the turkish presidential elections are ready to take off. all ortiz special coverage from our studio and a symbol. the people in the celebrate a truce declared after a week of intense rocket exchanges with israel, which claimed the lives of at least $31.00 people in the us ambassador to south africa, attempt to fast track after starting a diplomatic scandal by accusing south africa of supplying arms to russia, the

good morning for moscow. this is a weekly on our, to international with the latest from these updates. i'm paralyzed about. it's great to have you with us. the turkish presidential elections are ready to take off on sunday, with pulling stations already open for people who are registered to cast their ballots. here in our to we're bringing you special coverage as voting on fold. stay tuned for all the latest developments as they come in. the one of the main divisions on foreign policy between the top 2 candidates is their attitude towards the balancing between east and west. while are the ones party has positioned itself in the middle ground, the opposition leader has declared his preference for a western oriented policy,

a b c button. and we are, we want to be a part of the west and the civilized world. we want democracy in our country. we do not want to also retiring leadership. we want freedom. and therefore we will be implemented all over the democratic values of the european union and to our country . oh my, you just to put on so that you've got to do that. magazines in germany, england and france are talking out about why, because part of gone did not sell the country to them. it didn't let it be sold. their kid has rejected washington's proposal to send it to russian, made as 400 air defense system to ukraine, branding it as unacceptable suggestion. however, on kara, has supplied kids with dozens of be wrapped are grown since the onset of the conflict. archie corresponded donald quarter breaks down how long tara has managed your balance between russia and its western partners. the key of our ma scouts are key, a is a nato member that's done a balancing act with both. at one point the anchor was sending drones to the

ukrainian military and another. it's refusing to take part in the west war of sanctions against russia, united after all to t. it does not have to take sides. on the contrary, where the country that's kind of establish an equal dialogue on both sides and then in the war, we don't have the luxury of taking sides. this unique position has allowed and corrupt to play the role of mediator in the ukraine conflict back in march last year. it helped organize negotiations between the warring sides, including a high level meeting, therefore, administered all that they were ultimately unsuccessful. other turkish attempts had mediation were like the russian ukraine, prisoners swap last year, and the ukraine grain deal today. there is a beacon on the black sea, the beacon of hope, or the beacon of possibility, a beacon of release. you know, well that means it's more than ever. it will bring relief for developing countries

on the edge of bankruptcy. and the most vulnerable people on the edge of famine deal ended up guaranteeing ukraine a c cord or for exporting it's grain. helping ankara to a nice financial premium and stabilizing global markets. the last point is especially relevance to russian and turkish trade, which increased last year, making tortilla russia's 2nd largest trading partner. russian gas is a big part of that. an anchor, a said it wants to become a hub. european countries are currently searching to find ways to get natural gas supplies. st. don't turkey does not have such a problem. hopefully it will soon become a hub for natural gas. neither european roadblocks nor the north stream pipeline sabotage, have deterred and grew up from standing its ground on rushing natural gas. there were even times winter key is foreign policy interests aligned with those of russians like anchors fight over finland and sweden joining nato after it accused them of harboring terrorists. yes, finland was allowed into the military block,

but sweden still not there yet, especially after your last year's koran. burning. been in this way to do not make a point in this aspect. we will not say yes to your entry into nature as long as you allow already booked the crowns we burned and toner. pod is what does allow this to be done with your security personnel and view on finland is positive. but note on the sweeter p is mediation efforts have gone far for diplomacy throughout the ukraine conflict, but anchor as even gone farther than that denouncing western attacks on russian culture itself. just as we would not have banned in ukraine. we also do not accept actions that can do a which on against the russian people, literature, students, or office with the elections coming fast and turkey. it'll be interesting to see how these achievements of international diplomacy influence so hearts and minds of the turkish people. for the latest updates on the turkish elections, we crossed live to our studio and

a stumble and local correspondence as rough as church. a welcome as the rest, so true to you is set for a very tight elect for a race. what are the general expectations of how the process could go as pulling open today? and are there any particular concerns? a very low hello and hello to all a the audience from a very beautiful is found will they? i hope people can hear to see goals are thinking here, but the general atmosphere is very uh on this or so. the building has started in syria, sharp at 8 o'clock, and more than 6 to 4000000 registered to squatters will go to ballad faxes to cast their votes. so the, the optimal sphere is kind of pens and silent. it's just in between. but let me give you some details about the elections interest you. now there are 3 presidential candidates. the 1st one is of course the president's an incumbent, rigid type, add on. and the 2nd one is the old position alliance is leader. and the presidential

candidates get montclair state, although there's a 3rd candidate who has a limited margin but has a very important role if the election of you know, goes for the 2nd round, a scene on, on is also in this race. so the question is, who's going to be the next ruler of to care for the upcoming 5 years? let me give you some details about how tens that most fear here, both alliance is believe that their college and will take the elections in the 1st round. so if this doesn't happen, it walters will go to bella boxes again into an 8th of may and re elect their kansas from the to whole fullest staying for the 2nd round. so, but the most important intended it is actually sent out on because if the other 2

candidates ridge up tell you bad, go on and to mind coolest at all a little if they do not get more than 50 percent of the votes, up be thursday. citizens will have to go to both boxes again to cast their votes up to 2 weeks. okay, so i took care of political past has been somewhat to mall to us. can you tell us about the key differences, especially between the 2 main candidates that you have a jump type aradonzo's, 3 kit for more than 20 years. and he's epproach, actually from the, from the start was at bits up more uh for the e u and the rope in standards and regulations. but by time after your cherokee a waiting at the doors of the european union. now, re, since the trick is shifted to the asia and having much more relate much more, a better relations with asian countries and as special trying to strengthen the ties with the target countries in central asia. while uh, having a,

a critical role between the conflicts in countries. but kim, michael listed all the promises who's going to do in the policy more aligned with the west. actually, now this is the main difference between the are to apply you packed on m 2 am i going to start all of the 2nd important of the fx metric, which they're focusing on is kim, on color settle, who wants to bring back the parliamentary system and this idea is supported by his followers and the other parties within his alliance. but i just think that dawn broke the presidential system and not the 1st time years to, to you does not have a prime minister. so officer to collect federal a lots of changes will come with a going back to parliamentary system. parliamentary system was something criticized by a dorms call ition as each was a clash as

a pilot. and it was starting the policy making process. 2 so uh, but on the country, the colors that oldest l i n s t that this presidential system is kind of one min state. so they are just the opposing the system and promising cherokee citizens who are watching for them to bring back parliamentary system. and let me ask you this, how could things potentially unfold in the elections if the outcome is not recognized by either losing sight? he had the supreme election council and the minister of interior affairs told that all the necessary measures are taken to provide the elections carried seats. but this fact is the 2 key to expire. use such a re election for the american elections in 2019 for is sound will acquired 2 side needs not accept the results of

a b may or elections and the candidate was a memo low against the not a user. it was also the former prime minister of to key. so being any of them told that they sold the water. that's the reason why we lost so sounds how it turned out to be as uh, going up to the election. and the result was, uh for a, for the boot of memorial who is the current mayor of a sample. so now the practice of all or all of the authors will say that all misses here measures are taken for the election security so that the loops are not stolen up, but we will see. but i also want to add that one of the offices of occupied to brentwood on was asked, are you going to accept the results? if you lose? and you told, of course we know how to hand over the government and the presidency if the last,

but after all, we will see you when the ballots went. all the ballots are accounted. we will see which side stays. watch either of those turk, local journalists. thank you very much. the news in the middle east now, where is their own palestine have finally declared a more mental truce after a week of increasing violent confrontation. i own the a truth between israel and the palestinian islamic. you have militant group came into effect late on saturday night. you can see people in gaza celebrating peace after days of air strikes and exchanges of rockets, fire to cease fire agreement was mediated by egypt. earlier civilians have started

the process of seeing their final goodbyes to their loved ones as well. we heard the hiring tale of a father and fiance of a young woman who was killed during a night. attack is mecan as one of the most difficult days of life is the separation of loved ones. there is no resistance to the israeli occupation. on my part. i'm not a resistance spider. we do not carry weapons. we are citizens who must live safe. they stole her dream of marriage. i want my voice to reach to the last person so that we can file a complaint in international forms. the victims are too innocent. girls who are murdered while they were sleeping. focusing on our dream was to hold the wedding ceremony and unconventional ceremony. we decided to make the way to, sir, i'm wanting something beautiful. something that does not happen in gaza. done. his dream was to complete her studies and work in a bank after graduation. the occupation destroyed her. everything is different here where civilians, if this event had happened in a foreign country,

that would have been a huge uproar. israel's closing of gauze as border crossings has left hundreds of wounded patients and others with need, with no access to medical treatment in the region. most of those are cancer patients in need of live saving treatments are te, set down for an exclusive interview with the general director of the gaza health ministry. he says that time blockade has led to a humanitarian catastrophe. there is a, an emergency high committee in the midst of heads since the beginning of this aggression against the people. they have taken a decision to declare a state of preparedness in all the hosp that's the entire gives us 3. so let me put this means that we have to increase the number of the stuff in the emergency rooms in the operation csr to send in the intensive katie. and it says, well, bobby, because as you know,

we have short digital communication medical supply prior to those techs because because of the seas which is important, not people for more than 16 years. so that we have to stuck in the hospital to, to quit without commitment supplies and they are still insisting that goes to the board. and with this shortage, the situation, if the, if it goes up, continues like this, it could be very complicated. on the other hand, they are students this thing not to open cut them. i was tell him junction, which is the junction for the which the invested it for the field for the i guess, for the electric station of goods a will not be able to work very soon and we put a stop to collapse. so they have to allow industrial diesel and they have to allow also the medical supplies, equipment and medication. so we have inside guys at twins to stop humanitarian disaster, the public, these be meeting and the situation is very complicated with what's coming on top of this closure and both of us can ations able to know and then whether you expect the

situation will be the medical cause of targeting to save the patients' lives and they are working almost with 60 percent of the facilities. so it's very hard and complicated and every now and then when it will be close to boat and what would happen to patients is i've got, you know, cancer patients who have to have uh came with sort of fee which is not available menu. if it is not available and guess they have to have that ideal setup which is available as inside. got it. so you have to go, they have to go to the west bank and enjoy those in prospects for the moment has to offer. and that's why it's, i mean, it's to accept it anymore. that's too many of the position of living under the control of their enemies. these are unit will, sort of, these are not allowing medicine and medical supplies. and many of the medical equipment we apply to allow those me to kind of what's been inside of the say, sorry, the been the, the what building means that they are studying the request to allow spare parts or equipment. sometimes it takes 6 months, sometimes take one year and sometimes one and a half a year to allow a spare part to get inside. what would happen to the patients waiting here for that?

the equipment inside of gas, there was something the, somebody, you know, the people are put. i think i have to make it outside to try. but because of the culture of the balls and the complication of the situation, and we hope that the international community wait for shut eyes, those kid has to stop those x i gave us 2 mediums and also bought them at once at the stuff. i think civilian jones, any more like what they keep doing over there, like we have never, ever be held accountable for any crime that they have committed before. that's why they keep doing the same crimes they keep leaving. i mean, they are back in habits in the house is why people have insight. they are getting cold from it is. that's not the 1st time. so children are being killed me. i, you know, we have no, we lost 25, but a seems what came to mind them, 5 children and 4 women. those people were killed inside the bits of me during midnight or 2 o'clock am. so those crimes can never be able to beat them unless the killer is quite sure that he will run away with his act. this is

a problem that we have today. the international tree trimming that of course, has not yet taken an action against those kiddos. this is the problem that we have today. i mean so much the company is not moving to stop them until the us and boss that are to south africa has tried the back track after accusing pretoria of supplying brochure with weapons via a sanction vessel. sparking a diplomatic scandal, i was grateful for the opportunity to speak with 4 minutes to ponder this evening and correct and a misimpression slipped by my public remarks. in our conversation, i reaffirmed the strong partnership between our 2 countries and the important agend our presidents have given us before making the u turn. however, the envoy had said he would quote that his life on the accuracy of the allegations to be alarming of russia by south africa within the vessel. the

planet inside this town is fundamentally unacceptable. we are confident that weapons were loaded onto that vessel and i would bet my life on the accuracy of that assertion. so you see the news conference in pretoria, which is the country's capital with the us some best. so to save all of this the, that the by didn't administration is certain that on the load onto a vessel in the did off the nights at this time was telling naval base over 3 days . and then saw us put to, to russia, the has been quite a lot of developments, i must say initially this of african pittsville settled on my post. i refused to confirm or deny saying that to the messa is being looked into. and that's investigation was underway. but as things stand come and see, so that because administer responsible for arms control has responded to the integration, saying that the governments had not approved any weapons shipment to russia late

last year. and moved out, of course, could have been a possible breach of, of south africa's to create neutrality, the ukraine conflict plus also come also all of this is that, so that's like in prison. so i'm a pauses office phase. and inquiry led by a judge would look into these allegations, but a most awful, i must say. so after guys taking states to rip him onto the us invested a to so africa. i'm noticing that it is a concern that to bring it to did not follow proper diplomatic channels to express these countries concerns. in recent engagements between the south african delegation and us officials, the lady r matter was discussed. and there was an agreement that an investigation will be allowed to run its course, and the us intelligence services will provide whatever evidence in their possession . it is the for disappointing that the west investigator has adopted a to productive public posture that undermines the understanding reached on the matter and the variables of different constructive engagements between the 2. well,

in type of all of this, the defense department has welcome the president, is his decision to establish an independent inquiry to pro. but the allegation is that, so that's a can provided arms to russia, saying that to be inquiry will actually offer the departments and opportunity to ventilate side of the story. concrete evidence and deal with allegations the surrounding purpose of such a visit in front of a competent office off of the lu instead off of what you're currently dealing with, which is his say and speculation. the dummies must have of already been done, though some are saying that they find it quite weird and strange that this situation has been made covering fee, especially considering the fact that it came 5 months after the image of incident. but i must say these assertions, so a sell off of the local currency. and so the african government bonds as the car is the trade is fear that the nation could perhaps face wisdom sanctions meanwhile,

and their lives and economies. also of the same symptom is saying that to the all why read to that's what africa could indeed face these. the sanctions that have been fits as a states to the country, but over and above a possible, a goal. exclusion is also might also be on the table. what that means is that the u . s. could denies of africa billions of brands of benefits, divide the applicant, growth and opportunity act, bypassing the slow and very difficult process of imposing sanctions. these are extremely serious accommodations by the u. s. and could have serious ramifications for the start african nation. the most powerful economies in the fractious trade, conflicts that threatens all the smaller economies of the world. the poor and marginalized are facing the greatest threat in that they apply to spoke to why the mighty fight dates of relations between washington and now here. and this exemption on the walls, exports capacities, top local producers,

and foreign businessmen have come under one roof to networks and find ways to do business with their own. despite their western sanctions in the country. more than one sounds that it won't in and feeling businessmen and manufacturers as well as high ranking political delegations. how participated in the 5th it won't expo 2023 . producers from all sectors are here, from transport and energy to construction, food, agriculture and health. clearly, no european company has participated in the event since the sanctions have scared western businesses a where you probably want this upset the stage for farms from other countries to have a say in trading with the want, some of whom are totally new comers to everyone's market so of use of coming here to see how we can find out what sales to see what you have here, and you run to diversify because diversification is the life of companies. if you don't dive into 5, your debt, we are business division from who we cannot fall. so come in for the 1st time to

run. we represent the chamber of commerce and industry of we cannot foster and now work here is to look after representatives of our business and to show that economic ties between iran and we can also grow what the west disappearance from it was market seems to have not bothered to ron and his address to the opening ceremony of the exemption. president abraham bracy said the country will not tell you it's the economy to the 2015 nuclear deal and negotiation with the west to told you that we will never tire countries, economic and production, growth to political negotiations. we will pursue a dialogue with dignity. it was the americans who abandoned the negotiating table on the sanctions have left there on no other way, but to rely on domestic resources to water. its economy was still some raw materials and key components are supplied for the black markets. extra fee or sorry, the significant chunk of the country's industry is indigenous local producers and

this expo say the majority of the equipment in showcase tier used to be important. but when they weren't on the sanctions list, you're wanting an expert stepped out their game and manage to produce them domestically. i think we're planning to secure a complete supply chain for the petrochemical industry on our own because we like access to foreign investors to this end, we will produce products that are more advanced technologically. and so at a higher price that western sanctions, anyone have launch a curtail, it wants foothold, international trade for decades, especially when it comes to its crude. what do we speak about exports on the wrong oil is what comes in mind. while it's still the countries main source of income and recent years, good one has realized the need to shift away from or revenue and find viable alternatives for crew to port spencer cannot make row. last year it was non oil exports are past $55000000000.00 more than 12 percent up compared to the previous year. that's based on statistics provided by your was ministry of industry,

mine and trade. all these growth is unprecedented. over the past 40 years. are experts include medicine, medical equipment, construction materials, cars and car, parts of all the industries, the pitcher chemical sector has played a central part. the table has been to we this economy off oil revenues, exhibitors and this expos say the order of, of sector accounts for over 25 percent of there was not oil exports. so that means your, we export about $50000000000.00 worth of petrochemical products. $6000000000.00 of which are products produced by the persian gulf petrochemical company. even in the pick up that was anti one measures, some of the roles, traditional trade partners, including china and russia, have kept their commercial ties with the wrong to bartering or using national courtesies. offer a good chance for the wrong to keep its exports to flow. it's right now is so, you know,

really be really good time to get the race in between the russians around. we saw a lot of hold on and company come to russia and start the calculation together. yeah, right now we also some, now lot of the banking come to russia experts here believe the world is welcoming the new d dollarization trend, which was triggered by china, russia and the one. and now we spilling over to other nations, such as india and brazil. something english they say will render us sanctions effective since it took office roughly 2 years ago. the incumbent iranian administration has vowed to find new destinations for its freight thing. the world is not limited to the us and to europe us this, the country has expanded a straight times with africa lot and the south america and to see all yes region. and this seems to be perfectly compatible with the emerging multi polar words order, which experts when a blue shield it was the exports from the western sections. use of generally are $2.00 to $1.00 that's are up on the hours news and coming up. how world

war 2 western allies use the war to benefit themselves next on our 2 dog world war 2 liters. thanks for watching bay club. the .
