also be released the when they off below those at about 4 or 5 days off the today, the official results. but once those are, is a release, we'll know for sure who the new president is. well, they get some expert insight into what's going on with these elections. we're going across live to dr. use or fall heavy or casket and international relations commentator. dr. thanks for joining us on the program. the 1st thing i want to ask you is, of course, about these polls. i mean, i rather the elections polls are indicating that this has a neck and neck run off election, making it a decisive moment and turkish politics. so what are your expectations for what's going to happen? uh hello, 1st to talk to you is going to throw off a critical election lower. this is the final wrong and we have the 2 candidates, and mr. i get played out on and me. so to model colors, federal law, the in the 1st round, the difference between 2 candidates was for me,

5 points. the actual each sub list, the rate that was on was close to winning. but he was the success in the 1st stage, the 1st step. and then in the song, he's probably the easiest to reach between 2 elections the that'd be many a pulley to go to one over in turkey, eh, eh, the liberal for all to are you all see number one, support to, to almost the support to just tell you are done and we will see it will affect the results the few hours later. but for now i don't see as close to the nation. we will see in the me what will happen? what sir bad do you think that the, the support that's the non alons put behind or the one will make a significant difference? actually, still,

there is another experience for politics in this election nation. all these people, the whole? no, he was a member of the nation. police move party at that party is in the 12 3rd one. so uh here on the campaign on the sites that gains tell you the i'm sending batch folder if we used to do call them please. we see that he was very successful piper simple words. it, it made shameless price for this one. but it's perfect the nature of, if you can read people's choices, it's not a surprise because national people, as other people who are post both candidates and police, go to look voted for full guns in purse that must be must keep in mind. and other person is not good. we must watch all to you.

he's the general president of the, the story parties of our party in 13, he provides the scene on the last 10 to the same. he proposed settlement as the president candidate is the part the old mentors the received. they have all 3 parsons watching the elections. also he called them to yes, the seats in the parliament in these 2 weeks, it meters law had the deal. so what police level this is very crucial of all these initials is because to the party. okay, c, b a r supports speech to work. let's go to look hello. so we all know that can actually be on the terrace organization piece. h a r e talk, treat it, and mary told you people things similar we made, they have organic ties. we all know it cause the may have received quite person

more watch the because will face to face place, keep it. but many nation, all these people are also do these people. the world for color start on the click start alone. last year was the 1st step because of the existence of hasty bit distort. these people is actually, you know, officially a sleepy was in they were lucky in the coordination of coalition. little, he's a low spots a, the existence of hasty, b, b star. they should always, for all the people in turkey bought it. however, the name of me to, he's a strong nation released people in charge of your agents. do you feel comfy? those 2 biggest filters ball games

as we t j j. and we had to even well supported cinema in the 1st trunk. and peter walter, the pose is making change their decision and they can walk the fortune locally. so it's possible we do it in a few hours later spots and i'm not sure he, me to the support change a local election or not. i am not sure as well the music and important name. he's an employee, he's a normal guy, use the important thing. but you know, was biggest part there me to but she could support with. kimberly, who would you go to look, you know, on supported the edge of the bed on. we will see want to help him. well doctor, of course, this is like we said a very close election and um, you know, what kind of remich, i mean, it's also unique, unique collection because we're seeing the 1st run off in turkish history

essentially. so what kind of possibility do you think there is that the losing candidate might not concede and what kind of run if occasions would come from that? i pulled up all the stuff i got here tell you repeat story. sure, well this is a very close election and a historically close one. i'm asking, what do you think is the possibility that the candidate who lose is will not give up? and what would be the ramifications of that? yes, actually this is another a question about us. if the election we conclude with the victoria or our dog. i think it we would love how many troubles about. it's a lot of the process and many people, and we loved the, remember this elections one these nature and we will keep waiting lower for him. police see on our economic. so they will be brought to discuss and other topics

evey shortly short. and they will fight to start to fight read so they put them in trouble. so you can see this. so there, there are many troubles we need to discuss. and koji, eh, uh, i don't know what to have a doctor use if i had to, or cask in international relations commentator. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. thank you. now, our tooth, marine, a customer of our breaks down. now how ties between moscow and anchor i have been started lead developing it's widely seen that this presidential election will influence turkey is future for decades. but regardless of the partisan politics and play at home, when it comes to foreign relations and curse ties with moscow, are entering something over at golden era. we are not at a point where we would impose sanctions on russia like the west have done to me. we are not bound by the west sanctions as turkey. we are a strong state and we have

a positive relations with russia. ties on such a form, forcing right now that roughly even health turkey a go nuclear this year. just a few weeks ago, turkey and they'll do rated it's very 1st nuclear power plant, which was built a courtesy of russia state nuclear energy company. for us, ask them a massive project which will benefit all sides of the to get to cause this, the master reaching full design capacity. the plants will be able to provide up to 10 percent of the turkey is energy consumption. the satisfying the energy needs of the growing turkish economy more over the new nuclear power plants, unlike traditional hydro carbon fuel based plans, will not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which will have a positive effect to many environmental diplomatically speaking law, school and anchor, i have had each other's backs for a while now air dawn has refused to allow the western narrative over ukraine to

influence his conscious relationship with russia and even managed to broker a great deal between russia and ukraine. similarly, russia, along with a ron, helped to broker a road map for better relations between turkey and syria, something which seemed almost impossible just a short time ago. and that's just the latest western science and didn't stop turkey from continuing to buy russian oil and gas or from commits in billions to ross as advanced as $400.00 missile defense in system. and if we analyze frames numbers, or we can see just how many billions are being exchanged between the 2. in fact, according to official figures, searcy, it was one of russia's main freight partners in 2022. that's up 84 percent on the year before. and similarly for turkey. russia is essential for years. china and germany dominated the export market. cit. circ. a box of russia has been slowly

climbing the ladder and in 2022 finally made it all the way to that. so we're also seeing the number of companies being opened in both countries rise while they were only 27 firms. found the answer. okay, with boss and capital or shareholders in 2015, for example. that number a store at a $140.00 in 2022 and sort of companies have also been looking at expanding their business in russia by localize their production in special economic zones. last year, through addition investors commission to new facilities, a sanitary production plans in the glucose, old and admits of fabrics production facility in the yvonne i'm a special zone and of course it's hardly surprising that circus textile companies are now looking to follow suit, especially after the departure of major western brands from russia. so business is

booming and that's not even mentioning the tourism aspect. it's no secret that russia and turkey have had it some more to this relationship over the years, but they seem to always be there for one another and critical situations. just a couple of weeks ago. turkey agreed with russia to defer payments on natural gas. bill is worth $600000000.00 until 2024 and move proceed by many as the ultimate sign of deepening ties between the 2. something that many hope stays the same. regardless of who gets the top job us. we spoke with a turkish m. p who said that anchor has pursuing a balanced foreign policy to the p a has the dollars for them. policy as far as our neighbors are concerned with russia, we have an important by lots of relations. and as you know, we are part of the nato alliance and took it, has it so the responsibilities inside the natal? so the presence of avalon on his team has successfully put together this part of

the policy. we always $1.00 to $2.00 as being these maybe 18 power as valve and cost to nato's relations in other countries. as in the case of the rush hour, china is, you know, a to, to kia has been the prominent power. it was the 1st is very sincerely in the peaceful of those that are, is illusion of the or i show you fain, promptly and present avalon has made all the efforts. he closed the hope that he can continue. this engagement between russia and ukraine in a positive manner. saw this. when the time comes, you will be able to contribute to the peaceful resolution of this conflict or to got the chance to speak with is miles saucy. a member of the turkish president's council on security and foreign policy. he laid out his predictions for the run off in an exclusive interview of

the next us. we were talking a look what's going to happen next. will something change after the elections or will things remain the same? what is your take on this? so this is a good idea to get into the gym because russia is following the situation carefully and talk of citizens are in a state of vigilance as well from over the 1st round when well, we got the result that we wanted. it could've been better, of course. however, even under the circumstances where all of the opponents of the a k party joined under the same lights, the a k party still got 49.5 percent, which all nice means a definitive victory. but of course, that is democracy in this country and the 2nd round will happen due to not getting over 50 percent. in addition, i can say with ease that in the 2nd round, the u. k. policy will win with a decisive amount of around 55 to 60 percent invites. and if we look at the distribution of m e pays and the parliament,

we can see that the people's alliance has reached the majority with over 320 seats to pay for it to your question as to how this will affect the foreign policies of took a, i can say with ease, just as you might guess, that as long as the a k policy is in power, that will be no change in this regard for look at the on the country, whichever direction we're heading in. we will continue walking in the same ball and even strong got to please tell us about the global impacts of this presidential election wrong off. shouldn't be that far? sure. firstly, i can say that despite everything in terms of democracy to key, it is pausing to test with flying colors. it could be an example for the whole. well, the key is open, transparent, and democratic handling all the elections is a great onset to those countries who would like to suggest that ticket is all forward. terry, you know a dictatorship comment. there are countries around the world who are trudy under all sorry, terry and rules. rules have been inspirational example for them. but of course, if we're talking about the time to come off the elections, this,

as i've answered in the 1st question, we can say that we will be following the same policies as we have been for the past 10 years old basset to say during the time of the a k policy without change without determination. the in other news this week the russian military liberated the done yet the people's republic, city of chum, ups, also known as bach mote, are to senior correspondent moore. i guess the of is tagging along with the wagner private military company, which has long been at the front line in this war, touring area. the value of bus much for a lot of children has gone down as one of the deadliest and battles in history. and told thousands of soldiers perished in the backwoods needs grind. it shows there is barely anything left of the city, almost nothing that can be repaired. the destruction was savage in its totality.

full the remains is a fund and twisted mecropolis. as you travel, westwood in boston with the destruction gets much, much worse than it was in the eastern along the eastern edges of the safety was as close as the ukrainian resistance here was much stiffer. there's a whole lot of vehicles. this is a spot may be supplied by britain a lot more and they do equipment abandoned, destroyed in the western western side of the city, those even a, a plate the a few meters away from it. associates a survey is a p, c, b and p. a p c again, abandon to buy your credit in troops. victory in bus mode is p. m. c. vitamin is monument, the greatest and most terrible triumph. armies of ukraine's need to train troops,

legions of mess, and res, and countless billions and guns and shells could not stop vibes about what searching the many emotions now that it's official. now the basketball, it's his alice, it's all sincere, mainly joy. but there's also just quite different feelings. i'm just a few months. i feel proud, proud of all boys, as well as those fall, gone forever. all of them were worthy to be honest, the too many emotions. so the few words and even fewer feelings, it would be a lie. they say, the claim would you create any ins, right? in the way, know, according to by them is fights is the enemy for like trained attack dogs, they forth so ruthlessly and used retreat. they could including the 2 buttons in one of the basements along the way for the show, this,

an armory needs a 40 minute, meet the grenades, various rocket propelled grenades, tubes guided rockets, usa, department of defense, all 2 boxes from sticking me. it's also a matter of, i mean, nation s o d personnel mines which are brand across much of the world. ukraine, also a signatory of conventions binding the use of storage and keep us in our minds yet. here they are again, just as they were in my review, but obviously none of these are we give us the touch will will be touched by the process here because it could very well be mind it will

take years to keep back up the big up all the bodies buried on the rubber and the hundreds of thousands of unexploded shows and minds, least civilly losses, will light loose evacuated. but not everyone. to just ask if this was a civilian looped after the elderly in the basement, when we, if it created the civilians, the green old somebody grenade launcher and hit him to go to control the way as far as he could and died here. it was slow death. an ego is always slow. death to ball thoughts for the entire 224 day g. ration the bachelor for boston, what's his seat? and he says enough for multiple life times. no, don't over when use your brothers and on people you for together with for more than half a year. it bring sadness,

but you get used to it. what you don't know when i see civilian stuff or something in my so warms up and i remember who i am for the human. so sometimes you want to cry over the course of this, but of the when many instances of civilians being abused, western press and networks might try to present it in a certain way. but i believe all journalists will gone to the facts and showing well what really happened for most of the civilians who choose to remain with pro russian ukrainian troops and nationalists knew this. it will not kind to them the battle may be over. so it's possible to spill funds, ukrainian tillery bloss away incessantly phenomena. you can see it from of above. the problem is guessing that we've decided to try and launch out driving the ukranian electronic will site is still active dealerships and not just

ukrainian. i use yes, an allied systems to sort of if we things active, we've tied the drawings with nylon string it strong. so if anything happens we can try to drag it back. the electronic boy in blackboard was and e's new list be to but this point back in is drones or what's impervious to ukrainian and to drone counter measures as ease in the battle may be over. but by what has died with its ukraine still denies losing the city, despise apple footage, showing vag not in control of every 6 to how do you explain the west and tax pay? is that despite the 10s, if not hundreds, of 1000000000 spent key of still a loss to a private military company. the orchestra of wagner will stop here. when russia

calls, they say they will play again. so for i guess the of the, from boston, what's the south africa's president serial where i'm opposed, deliberate, a statement on thursday that marks the pressures that countries in africa still indoor as the continent marked africa day may, 25th each year celebrates the dual victories over colonialism and apartheid, but he says, hardship still remains. some countries including our own, are being threatened with penalties for pursuing an independent foreign policy. and for adopting the position of non alignment, we have not forgotten the terrible, brutal legacy of 1st having our continent carved up and colonized by european countries only to find ourselves once more ponds on a chest board during the cold war. we're not going back to that period in history. and the founding of the organization of african unity was also celebrated. that's

the organization that preceded today's african union. initially, its main goal was to eradicate colonialism and the festivals celebrating the content and sense of identity and unity is now taking place. russian presidents even marked the day as well by taking time to congratulate african leaders. business journalist winston tacky says that while africa has long suffered from resource exploitation at the hands of western countries, particularly over the last decade, russell's involvement has led to a leveling of the playing fields rather than clock colonizing the continent. and so they did not know that's the intent of the main job, but let's go body such as the organization of africa, unity and they ask a union that obviously could you go rowing of fights against new colonialism and they also a ship in economy. there must have a model of corporation across the continents and engagement based by the countries . i'm going to come

a little bit early on. we end up last dedicated on the confidence. there has been this uncle struggle for the african resources, where we've seen a lot of continental countries coming to pick up and not just to focus on where the, the, the, how big or transformed the content. but just under resources but rush your possibility . otherwise, rush your house consistently spoken of from the depths of the international policies. uh that relates to board rocher over the years has been the key supports up of the roles, trade the globalization of a level playing chrome. as we know what the rest of the us and that is something that we can say, we look up the way to boy a lab receive. we're 4th round egyptian islamic university. our azar has slammed recent remarks from a french official who appeared to acquaint followers of sunni is long with terrorism. the institution called the statement irresponsible and ignorant. we have

come to remind them that for your opinions and for france, the primary risk is sunni terrorism. and the anti terraced collaboration between intelligence services is absolutely essential. the repetition of such a responsible statements in similar ones by western officials, despite the clear and negative impact on muslim citizens and western societies, as are recognized by wise individuals in both the east and the west. reflects a huge ignorance of islam and a denial of civilization in old and contemporary history. it is also an unjustified and deliberate provocation for the sensitivities of muslims around the world. the french interior minister made these controversial remarks while visiting an f b. i training facility saying that while american intelligent services are concentrated on internal issues, sunni terrorism is the primary threat facing europe, gerald the martin darman and rather did not give any distinction to the one point. $7000000000.00 adherents of the sunni branch would be as la make faith and the

militants to carry out atrocities and its name. we spoke with locals and burkina faso, a country where a french troops are still present and which has a large muslim population to hear their thoughts on the assertion. while the policy was, one can not conceive that terrorism has a link with religion here. terrorism have nothing to do with religion. it's a way of smearing muslims to say that muslims are the terrace. i'm yeah, that's not it. so it's a way of dividing religions, finish upon the whole, the said to the fact that she links terrorism to religion. first of all, it is an argument that this french minister used to justify himself as he has no other solutions. who was the link religion to terrorism will live taylor with our muslim brothers will share everything together and there are no problems today. if we take all this to mix with terrorism, it is so that africans will kill each other and the same french will come and play ostrich. so for me, you shouldn't link religion to terrorism. see

a like any difference if the issue of terrorism was really related to religion? we should have felt that in a walk a do. but why is it on the outskirts the holy book itself does not permit violence . i can say that i am not sad because we have an army here in between a fossil. if we see the presence of the french army here, it's as if we have 2 armies and bertina. earlier and spoke with one of the members of the african institute of strategic managing. they told us that the french minister statement is a reflection of our geo political reality. on the face of the nissan, this loan would uh, what is happening in the wheel, but i didn't know is that part of the bar? so we'll do this. if i boss, where do we do a lot of things from but give me a buzz whom i leave jobs. what else i am going to be in the sense that i give you a room for or the football. i mean,

like now you see, i tell you that is investing may of those going to do that too. that's it for this. our stay tuned for more news and just about 30 minutes a the,

[000:00:00;00] the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. taishan. let it be an arms race is on all sides. very dramatic. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time, time to sit down and talk and

whom those will be always believe that life is a full set to that all the is ups and downs, the india before the british was the richest nation with the highest g d, b in the word. and why did the 100 years of british troops bring it to this low or some 50 interacting or late so t attracting the they came to take our change our tech style, our wrong material, even before making canon the cannon balls, they needed the search feature which came from india,
