the project. so she's up to now. so this was the main difference regarding the top now people are wondering what is going to happen most often on, on. uh it would have to go to president on as you need only one more points to pass the threshold to be the next president again. and even if the person on the federal business you know, or him tax professional. so the c r k is more on how mommy is in istanbul for our special coverage of the be a big collection and brings us more on what's happening on this big day. i was where i should meet hopkins from the just upholding surgeon. this is where you call them present region. so i have the one that causes just a few minutes ago. we also know that kim, i'll start with the cost around and we know that the,

the sheets of the stuff for the last $4.00 or 5 hours, many people been running out to vote for we possibly charts and make our way through the crowds to get to here, there were hundreds of thousands of people shooting out from parking, and that's a fight all the way through the trials to to get hit. i looked at somebody busy behind me now, but there was a lot of ministries on think this is costing the vote here. we also known as the local municipalities on 3 buses. everyone to be outside of the struggle was able to come and also cost that but not present at the $1.00 of those that came out and made a small speech, we would expect too much. anyway, he said that whatever happens happens he believes in his people he believes or his people will vote for him. but if the people do decide to vote to come out, he will 7467, democracy will be there will be an easy transition to power. and i,

we will know exactly when that will be we're expecting the official results to be released about 2 or 3 days. but the polls will show us, and we will note today, no doubt why around 6 or 7 pm. since he is next the, the movie, would it be incumbent widget 5 of the one, or would it be the new list? but we want to get more insight into what's going on with the it's these elections . so we're going across live now to mac, met chillik, he's the daily saba editorial coordinator. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. sir. first thing i want to talk about is just how close this election is. obviously, it's a decisive moment and turkish politics. what are your expectations for what's going to come out of it? well, if we look at the previous uh, 1st rounds results,

i think we can disagree. we can say that present art on was only half points close to victory, where as mr. college start all the was the 33000000 votes behind him. so, you know, in the 1st round there was a 3rd candidate who got 5 percent and a little bit more than 5 percent of the votes as well. now, at the tile lines, candidate is also supporting mr. ad on. however, this is a new election and whoever has been more successful in mobilizing their electoral base, i think, will be as successful in this election despite the 1st rounds results. because we know that there are 2 disadvantages. one is that mister costello's voters base is, is negatively affected by the 1st round results. and thus they have the psychological disadvantage. but on the other hand, the clear or the 3000000 difference between mr. ad one and mr. a custodial perhaps

could have led to this sense of uh, you know, easy way to get this for coached are all low for the, for the, like total base of mr. add on. and maybe they have not gone to the polls as much as they should have. so this part spacing rate and to turn on i think will be very, very high, highly effective determinative factor for the selection result. but statistically, if we look at the numbers, i think mr. i don't, has an advantage. although. busy it is very hard to predict, as you know, took as a very, very old democratic tradition of the democratic culture. so the results is whoever the, whether it's mr. add on or mr. costello, i think the results will be very close with the high percentage of participation rate. well, this really is a historic election, not just because of how close it is, of course, but also we're seeing the 1st presidential run off election in turkey ever. what do

you think is the possibility that the losing side giving given how close it is that the losing side won't accept the results and what could potentially be be the ramifications of that? well, i mean, you know, to get just a switch to this new executive presidential system a very recently. and this is the 1st time as you said, that the presidential elections are going to run up. now, you know, there's 3 free and fair elections and into care and all parties have representatives in each valid box to, to ensure that there is this election, safety and security and all votes are counted properly. so there's this very strong mechanism in place. and ultimately, the high supreme council of collections is also monitoring the results. so there's, i think, accepting or not accepting the results always plays in, in, not in, in favor of the losing side. but as it is a disadvantage,

usually because and not accepting the defeat does not play well for the turkish. i like toward that i think that the day after becomes the time for accountability and for recalculation and evaluation of where there was the missing link for the election strategies. whoever will be the winner i think should be and will be accepted. and by, by the parties, and they have already said that, and you look toral once respect of the day of their will and, and whichever side they have decided to vote for whichever side image has decided to become the majority. i think, you know, they want respect for their, for their, uh, democratic will and they want that result to be accepted by the, by the defeated side. so of, you know, mr. i down arrow had already said it before. the 1st round that if he was to lose the election and there is no superior power beyond the look towards. busy will and i think the same should be a, is in place for the,

for the at all positions alliance as well. and i think to do it has had many elections before, although this one is a historic one. this one has been watched very closely. this one, do dictations have been very high ahead of the selections. this is not the 1st time to do is i'll holding elections. democratic culture is very strong and, and it's to sions are in place to ensure that they look towards all electricity a will, and their votes will be reflected in the final result. and ultimately they will be respected by the all the institutions as well as the parties. i look toral basis. well obviously are the ones opposition is outspoken lee, pro western and we've, a lot of people are saying that in the western media they haven't really been treating the 2 presidential candidates equally. what would you say about that? and if you, if you agree with that point of view, why, why would you say that is as well, i mean it's, it's, it's not

a matter of me agreeing or not. i think it did because the clear and the sheer coverage of was for media showed and they clearly endorsement for college, they're all low and i, they have come to realize ation that who they played, who they better all their money on was not the the right candidate, or perhaps the analysis were not on par when the election results were announced after the 1st round and whether there was a wishful thinking or actual analysis. it's something that they have to you. i think you valuate at this point, and i think in this, regardless of the results in this election, one thing that the western media should have perhaps learned is to get out of the or eco chambers white and they are what spectrum and, and they're diversified. they are sources when they try to understand this in politics and to key, or when they try to understand purpose society. when they come from their headquarters or from different capitals of the western world and they arrive and

assembled. they find themselves in a very close circles of both sources, i think whitening that will not only enrich each correspond to or each conduct tree or pundits. it will be what about to k, but it will also diversify and enrich analysis about to get which will benefit their readers ultimately in you and understanding how things are working into get and what took a society is and how the turkish democracy plays out when he comes to the elections or in other matters for, for, for a fact. so i think it, you know, that i did. one of the biggest losers of the 1st election as they have many have also admitted was, was western media, no doubt. alright, mac, metallic, daily salva editorial coordinator. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. another news this week, the russian military liberated the done yet the people's republic city of

r. thomas, also known as bach. motor ortiz, senior correspondent, moore. i guess the f is tagging along with the wagner private military company, which has long been at the front line in this war torn area. the value of bus sports, lot of film of scratch is gone down as one of the deadliest and battles in history . and toad, thousands of soldiers perished in the back mode, 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. filled with the mains. he's a fund and twisted mecropolis. as you travel, westwood, and back with the destruction gets much, much worse than it was in the eastern long eastern edges of the safety, which of course says 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 feel equipment abandoned, destroyed in the western western side of the city, those even a plate the a few meters away from it. associates a survey at a p c, b, and p a. p. c. again, abandon a while you create in troops. victory in bus mode is pmc vitamin is monument, the greatest and most terrible triumph. armies of you. pains need to train troops, legions of mass and res, and countless billions and guns and shells could not stop vibes about what search and we'll give them a motion, smell that it's official. now the basketball, it's his alice, it's all sincere, mainly joy. but there's also just quotes from different feelings. i'm just the

human. i feel proud, proud of our boys, as well as those who are gone forever. all of them were worthy to be honest, the too many emotions. so the few words and even fewer feelings would be a lie. they say, to claim that you create any ins, right, in the way, know, according to vibe, and as far as the enemy for like trained attack dogs, they fought for roof asleep and used retreat. they cooled, including the 2 buttons in one of the basements along the way. 5 to show this an armory native 40 millimeter grenades. various rocket propelled grenades, tubes guided rockets, usa, department of defense, all 2 boxes from sticking. and 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 t personnel 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 team back up the big up all the bodies buried and the rubber and the hundreds of thousands of unexploded shows and minds. least stability and losses will light loops evacuated with not everyone to there's back to this was the

civilian looped after the elderly in the basement when we, if it created the civilians, the green old somebody threw in a launch 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 forward for the entire 224 day duration of the bachelor for boston, which he has seen. and he says enough for multiple lifetimes. no phone number, when you use your brothers a non screwed people, you fault together with for more than half a year. it bring sadness, but you get used to it. you don't know when i see civilian stuff or something in my soul warms up and i remember who i am for the human. sometimes he wants to cry over the course of this, but oh, there were many instances of civilians being abused. western press and networks, mike tried to present it in a certain way, but i believe all journalists will go off of the facts and showing well what really

happened to. foremost, all 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 buns, ukrainian tillery bloss away incessantly from them. you can see it from, of above. the problem is getting that all the bottom or 2 we've decided to try and launch out. dr. ukrainian electronic will site is still active dealer and not just ukrainian. i use yes, an allied systems to sort of if we things active withdrawal. so if anything happens we can try to drag it back. the electronic boy in blackboard was and what this point back in is drones would 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 using the city despise apple footage, showing vibe not in control of every 16th to west and tax pays us hundreds of 1000000000. spent key of still loss to a private military company. the orchestra to yeah. when russia, who's they say they will play again. so for i guess the of the from boston what the attentions run high between israel and palestine. the united nations security council has again gathered to address the issue. china is deputy envoy to the united nations last out of israel for building settlements on palestinian land, calling their construction illegal. i say it i usually is at pete. this is the

beginning of this year. israel has continued to advance from an illegible actions and improving returns, building your settlements and legalizing settlements, subject david as violate international law and the un security council resolutions . usually china urges israel to immediately called this actions and sources of the listing and people on the issue of religious hall. this size is around. last stop is publications guarantee the right to worship their muslim worshipers will hold the peace in from philadelphia religious. all the sites and respects a custodianship of georgia, you can in a while, china is for administer expressed. his country is readiness to facilitate peace talks between israel and palestine. emphasizing the importance of a 2 state solution according to a chinese state media, beijing's role as a peace maker on the world stage strength. and after helping re establish diplomatic ties between long time adversaries around and so is also put forward a political settlement to the ukraine conflict. israel palestine conflict has been raging for decades and it's rooted in conflicting claims of land rights in the

region. during the latest escalation, earlier this month, palestinian and israeli forces exchanged hundreds of attacks leaving scores dead. the majority of which of course were palestinians. political analyst side neighbor told us that it's about time china steps in to help out. it's put an end to the conflict and it's about time for the child that just that. and we also ask what's going. ringback on or should we step in into this matter and try to do something about go so far. just the beginning of a lot of issues. first, this is, it was only the americans while you know, i'm funny and delete these, these team and they use all that. and what is does here in the issue of, of the, of the positions or even, you know, folks, pricing is an issue and got the question. so now i think there is

a whole time that you choose, the sooner it seems the us is no longer hiding its true intentions in the ukraine conflict. as a us republican senator lindsey graham says, slaughtering russians is the best use of washington's age money to ukraine. free or not, and the russians are that this morning and this video that surfaced does leave the question open whether it's been edited or if senator gram really made that remark. but russian foreign ministry spokeswoman murray is a higher vote, was quick to respond stating that lindsey graham is not the 1st or only american politician who is called for killing russians. a. do you think us senator graham is alone in his nazi rhetoric? but he's the free to exception that the american system can produce such a monster wrong. let me remind you that in a conversation with the price to assess the youngest of

a dynasty of american precedence said exactly that. assuming that he was talking to the key of regime, your job is to kill as many russians as you can. also, we stay to this of the briefing. us propaganda stuff is a black truck stressing the bushes, not impala base. bush and graham holds political power. then not even saying everything that is spelled out in american doctrine, all documents and discuss more about this video, we're joined by former pentagon senior security policy analyst, michael maloof. michael, always a pleasure having you on the excuse, just about this statement that it looks like us. senator gramm made that russians dying is somehow a good thing. what do you think about that? well, that's a totally irresponsible and outrages comment. uh, just this, this entire war is, is, is not raging and it needs to 10 days to come to a stop anyway. but as far as graham is concerned, he's known for these uh uh,

a slip of remarks and irresponsible remarks. he thinks because he has the podium at the sound off and, and, and, and the, the, the and, and, and try to exhibit something that is outragious that he can, he doesn't disappoint in that regard. he's a see, he makes these comments constantly it's, it's a sight of arrogance. and he's just spending the pattern says is, is a reputation on capitol hill is such that it's very anti russian. it has been for years. and while it's not surprising to hear it, and at the same time is, is amazing that he would make knowing that they'll get around the world. so that says something about his personality as a whole. what this video is indeed authentic. what would you say? it tells us about washington's age, the kids as well. for now, you have,

it says one thing that republicans are split, the democrats are all all in in for it. but the republicans are split and i think that will be decreasing opposition funding the funding this occurred today has already been appropriated. and from last year, when the, when the congress was controlled by the house of representatives was controlled by the democrats. now it's controlled by the republicans that i think the public is going to be more critical. but she's, we still have the senate and we still have a who's, who's one of the, the near comes the regional nic. um and then stop to any represent south carolina, which is heavily military. and he's got a sound off for, for that, for that constituency. in terms of a defense spending he's, he's big on defense spending and i never hear him criticize it,

but it is what it is and, and we have to put up with him and he's where it, but we are seeing opposition growing opposition to us more american people just do not understand that they don't understand why it's there, why we're into involved so deeply. why we, why we have expended our, our, uh, our, our parts resources. so much resources or even our, even our surplus or our stockpiles. it's, it's, uh, it, people don't understand it and, and hopefully the congress can begin to put some kind of kind of funding. and not to mention the fact that we've got a real, re evaluate our entire position in the world. we are, we are known for our, of our military activities. we've been at war for an on stopped for $22.00 and a half years. so it's, it's getting old and people are tired of it. and we've had to, we've lost

a lot of treasure and a lot of lives and, and we have people who have come back from these wars affected for life with the loss of lives. so, so it's a, it's there's, there's gotta be a, an alternative approach by the united states or reputation. destruction not, not, not for construction. well, michael, what, what would you say that lindsey statement says specifically about the us is claim that ukraine is not a proxy war for russia as well. it is a proxy war for russia. it is a uh, i haven't heard that aspect, but it is a proxy war for russia that the you have the we have victoria newland who's number 3 at the state department. i'm one of those near causes that i'm talking about who, who expresses the solid all the time because she was she, along with the end vice president in the 2014 crew of

a legitimate ukranian government. and uh, and they have been at, at this to try and push nato all the way to the, to the russian federation line. and they've been successful in that. and that it's contrary to all agreements that were ever arrived at between the east and the west . and as a consequence, it has now raised consider, consider any future agreements are worth even coming even the addressing or even having with the west because they are no one to a back track that they, that they make. but this, this nato expansion things, there's been like something like 7 expansions and the warsaw pact went away back in, in the ninety's. so this is a, there's something wrong with our, our thinking it's, and it's meant for the united states to further its own gemini, around the world and, and, and,

and to influence that they get with under one standard of, of a world order that we're now seeing and it's, uh, entries are rebuilding against that as we're seeing with the brakes. we're seeing with the ac in countries that now when we get out from under the end of the influence of the dollar. so it's beginning to happen. we're seeing the, the creation of a multi polar world or of the right, former pentagon, senior security policy analysts, michael maloof, thanks again for joining us on the program. thank you. good. that's it for this. our stay tuned for more news coming your way and just about 30 minutes here on our to international the

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 has very dramatic. the 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 because the 19 pandemic have left us with a couple new habits and workplace trends like work from home policies as remote work became the norm for most people. while that 1st the seems like a net positive for most, for adult work also has its costs to whether money comes out of your salary for a new desk setup for your shouldering a more expensive utility bill. and then on the far end of the spectrum,

you have ceos who have now banned from the work from home and expects employees to be in the office. so what is the real? i'm christy, i'm, you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be examining the pros and cons a work from home and is this trend good for workers or employers? the working from home has many benefits, including saving time on commute, which is a big commute. on average is 27.6 minutes, which means that it takes nearly an hour for most people to commute both ways each day. keep in mind, this is an average number as 2 hours one way each day in certain metropolitan areas of the country. meanwhile in china, the average one way can new time in beijing reached 48 minutes,

which was the highest among china, the cities with the largest can you those nigeria at the very top, with an average of 66 minutes commute, followed by san jose costa rica with 64 minutes, los angeles is close behind at 61 minutes. not to mention the crowds and the rush during commuting in india 23000000 passengers. can you by train every day with some hanging onto the sides of the train, as there is usually no room for another great benefit of working from home includes having greater flexibility with your schedule, which is especially helpful if there are children in the household. this saves the employee money that would otherwise be spent on care. money is also saved when eating lunch at home and not head cleaning all the time. many remote workers have the reported increased productivity due to working from home. it also allows for more quality time with the family, as there is more face time and no wasted time on commute. and this flexibility is

extremely important for ease, as it is better for the work life balance, something that is extremely important to the younger generation. and perhaps one of the biggest benefits is that working from home gives one the ability to live wherever they want to. not because they have to live close to work. this usually makes the living situation cheaper because they're no longer stuck to in metropolitan radius. and more enjoyable as there is more space outside of work. so now let's bring in j jones, president of always on p r, who is 100 percent working remotely. so, j, what percentage of employ a pandemic? and how about now, after the pandemic? before the pandemic, your home was a place for relaxation and eating and die me. but during the pandemic, your home became a place, a hustle and bustle. because one more people started to work from home.
