even if it doesn't run again in 2028. is that the people show the will toward the incumbent, once again, it is set on behalf of our people that a government was such corruption, such a theme because coming to power again, mr. came out, would have been great for our country at this for a change of c. o. people decide on this and we have to several of us president joe biden congratulated his turkish counterpart on his re election saying he's looking forward to continuing to work together. that's despite calling him an autocrat and a former director of us national intelligence, suggesting washington directly supported the opposition candidate. instructing jeff like to meet with the opposition candidate in the middle of the election was a terrible mistake. us must strongly advocate for its policies, but must stay away from picking sides and elections are due on knows what you did. this will not benefit us interest throughout the last few days of the election,

race. western media were branding president or the one and all for terry and leader . and even a dictator who was also accused of interfering and the vote count by the countries opposition, which has held a pro western anti russian stance. while outlets in the west left little room for new orleans with headlines such as puts in has won the election in turkey and how to get more on the election details. we're gonna cross live now to ortiz, more on how mommy, who's been following events for us from istanbul, where odd indians, ridge up early, one picked up an early lead in the account and that gap was never really threatening to take us through the this historic run off election yeah, the as when yesterday was such an exciting but, i mean when we sign off with the poles at 8 am and before you know the day was over, i'm the post close around 5 pm. it's no time it sold to count them this time because there were any counseling

a just for the president. so election within an hour i'm off. we knew that incumbent president, but it was 5 add on the had taken the lead. i'm the lead said with him. now come on, close that all up didn't go down quietly instead of a sort of giving you a, a consensus which he can see. he said that he would continue flight thing and he even blamed of the know the whole election and said it was from fraudulent. he said there was campaigning going on on the day. nevertheless, it is interpreted by the road trip type ad on who is going to take to here to the next for the next 5 years now. in his sleep, she briefly told about it before in his sleep some 350000 people turned up in ankara. those thousands of people who live in the east cuz i here last night. believe me, we did not get a wink of sleep. it was cause honking flags waving and i'm just everybody

happy. i'm sharing that for the next 5 years. are the ones that i'd say give them full and now we know that everyone didn't really have to. um, didn't we have the campaign on any policies? the message was clear, the majority of turkish people love our though on, and they want to have with to leave them for the next 5 years. now, throughout his speech he told a lot about building. all right, well, growth in business growth, energy growth, defy disclose. because they told us about this, i've invited a youth independent journalist, so use of so on, in, on here today with me. and we just have a little bit about what we can inspire in the next 5 is right now. so is the parts for joining me here today? i always did to, to, to, to it was, you know, it's business as usual, add on, continues, we're pretty much where he left off. but we know there's

a going to be in the ration on friday and being told that he's going to be forming a new cabinet. what some of the old cabinet wires we have to form a new one. he's like a suit up thought. the 1st occurring the circus constitution. if you want to become a minister, you cannot beat a deputy. so there's 2 things cannot be at the same time. so for the ministers, the income and ministers have been elected as deputies to the parliament, which means the folded cabinet will change and we will see new names for the next part vs. all right, so cabinets and all told was about and is in his in no, no, i need to know where i should be in his speech to the people. he said that he wanted to focus a little bit on making sure to care a self sufficient energy company. what do they mean by that? i mean, it has to keep from gas. i think they have an oil even,

maybe you can to go through that as well. there's a turkey as being, having these huge trades that for shit, i'm afraid because that is basically one of the main problems of the turkey. um so because um i think you need to know the g absolutely for the goal for the goal. busy a business of for a boss, so you whatever, you know, they don't like to the car producing, say turkey has recently discovered a large suassa national guys in black sea and whole surprise relations present. add on have noticed that the ticket, his color, a lot of oil and remarkable amount for foil in style bar mounts and a which used to be like central affairs in one of the headquarters of the loud beach. but he has the clear the,

the 3rd and as i said the last 5 years back to the. busy luckily for you said apartment draws. so as of now mr. the other one is very helpful. so if he's going to use all these natural net energy resources for the role of industrial, which will force and return, we'll make search yourself sufficient century. but he talks about the energy that we know that the key and russia do business when it comes to energy, it is not likely to get stronger in the future, or is it likely to stay as it is? how does it so one of. busy the governments are the one, the government's policies, was to diversify between energy resources as well as the imports to turkey buys oil and natural gas from restaurants or by john,

you're on garage even from far as a l. n g. even as far as, oh jerry, you know. mm hm. um. as far as worship plays a key role for a b, um drop it off a cold proximity, as well as the personal relationship publish it. but we missed of putting them as part of the one and last 2 decades. as you know, turkey right now has this rush. i'll be able to talk to you, nick, there's a power which will make tricky one of the countries that has the power of the world in which a ford fee we serve. in this regard, we can obviously expect the goal of change your trust and cooperation in the field of energy. it's not only are you indeed about as you know, the, the russian guys, some of the, some of the russian guys goes for very keys. ready there are more projects you develop this relationship, you know?

so we can, we can definitely expect a deeper of cooperation. let's go, you know, mean uses, you know, he took about an hour ago until about growth. he told about creating jobs for the youth. he told us about that a health care and insurance for everybody. these are all very positive things. he, those why we knew it was a quite a inspiring speech. we listen to it for it to. i'm a half an hour or so last night around. 1 am local time, but how has the monkeys react to this? because we know the economy isn't great to hear right now. i don't want to has the a promise, a reduction in inflation. how did you go about that and how the market is reactive? it's a 1st a full full waters. the offer boilers for a very full full is that kind of a problem? what is more fragment is died during my interviews with people i observed that they

are aware of the fact that add on is not a magician. he can not make a magic in sol. busy as problems in the year, you know, but they still have the confidence in, uh, add on and uh, his rules. mm says um, some of the thoughts is close to the government for me. but there's also lots economy policies may change was i was the not po box one, but kind of blending 2 of them keeping the, the, the interest rates still lower, but at the same time, creating a different, a full so liquidity to pump into the market on over the state projects lacy, i'm construction as well as the production of what can be made electrified cars for you know,

all these kind of products. people expect the turkeys cooperation with a different, a foreign power as will increase, which will bring some more cash market insurance right now. and then, you know, some time i might say maybe switch gears slightly then doing uh, the campaigning half way through. we know that jeff lake united, so you or something about so the to uh, to get a he met with kluso. um this is clearly a big no, no for any any for him policies of interfering in election us. but do think by system a sour relations between to the kid and the us says, you know, tricky on the us have some problematic issues and one of them maybe the most important is the us support g d p y. these which tricky cost of this as the state and branch of the all my future. mm hm. and so to be honest, i don't expect

a quick solution to this because the us still seems to remain committed to supporting the p y b on the other side. so he has no intention to withdraw these troops from the motor, syria, because cherokee bates besides them and our borders has to be protected by it. so in this case, in this regard, color settles meeting with a mr. flag as well as his claims as washer was insight feeling the surgical actions like fixing the election was to be his kimbell is to be honest and it's, it's really a spar could these content and multiple boards us because nobody wants white with the. ready powers, either russia or the us either the goal for the, you know, so because people believe that especially like price, man, business people do things other than most operations, the more money you know. so yeah, but basically there's

a lot of people like this us, but it is if you have time in a while when they threw up out and actually okay. um that is more to receive the full the european latest as well as me as president drove by them hold it. so add on the media. the 3rd he declared is a big for the end tonight by the on his way home. ready a phone call. so this also shows that it's right on the last policy between the washer and the west was successful and it's both sides. the funds is. busy uh so it is in portland in terms of both in some nice and uh, regional office and they use of semi asked on february of the amount of 5 was a pleasure talking to you, sir. thanks again for joining me. well the guy there is a balance in the, in the region and add on has so a lot to do. but literally he change anything drastically. it doesn't seem so new

and it says come me on friday. so we'll see how that goes. the economy, it looks like it's going to be on the opposite. but that's all from us right now. we'll be moving back to the top of that makes our, with our next guest from the up party. so be sure to tune and then back to you. done very interesting discussion. thank you r t is more on how mommy and with his guest, yusef settlement in on an independent journalist. now another news, rushes for administer has landed in africa, marking his 1st stop on a diplomatic tour of the continent survey lab. ralph touched down earlier in kenya, and together with canyon leaders, he discussed a number of geo political and economic issues including the emergence of a multi polar world order law for i've also noted the need to reform the united nations security council to ensure wider representation. i think it was no bus loading that africa quite reasonably presents its intentions to become a real, full fledged sensor of the imagined multiple or

a world older. since the reform of the un security council should be a step in this direction, the problem of the secure at the castle, as we have said more than once, is the excessive representation of western states. out of the 15 current members, 6 represents the united states and its allies. of course, it's necessary to eliminate this injustice by the mentioned representatives of asia, latin america, and africa to the security council. this is the only way to ensure representation in this main un buddy system. it's uh, already, 4th visit of this kind by sort of gay lover off to the african continent over the past year or so. since the beginning of the russian, the special military operation in ukraine. and one of the main reasons for that is not only political, but economic because africa finds itself as one of the most affected by this component of western sanctions against russia, which were introduced with no regard for the 3rd players. many of them african

nations that have absolutely nothing to do with the disagreements between russia and the west, bear the brunt of the shortage and weight and fertilizers and many other experts. commodities that came as a consequence of western sanctions against russia. one of the mechanisms suggested by kenya is the use of national currency canyon currency in payments for the exports of oil and possibly other commodities. russia looks favorably onto that. the trade potential, goodman, russia, and kenya is still not fully realized as the trade turnover growth. russia will be fu king more attentively into diversifying its trade into african currencies. not only came in, but any of but other currencies as well. um, she said that these topic in particular, will be at the center off his visit to south africa later on this week when the representatives of the bricks, countries we'll be discussing,

specifically the mechanisms of protecting and circumventing western sanctions. you know, there's an interesting coincidence of that piece visit comes on the heels of a similar tour by the ukranian for administered mutual clear, but who was visiting a number of african countries trying to persuade them to a band. and then to trial it and joined western sanctions against russia. something that the, that it was particularly eager to do and for a very obviously cannot make reasons real for them even more especially now because many african countries are suffering from best types of very cv your droughts. for example, kenya, it has uh, more than 4000000 people uh, in the state of acute, within security. and this is where the boundaries and the obstacles that are created on the way of russian experts hurt people the most. now what's also interesting is that the number of african leaders have come up with our own these

initiatives for the ukrainian countries. but unfortunately, those initiatives for now are being met with skepticism or outright refusal by the west and the ocean during the perhaps of washington. and london cannot accept anything other than to alaska circles these formula. this formula means the withdrawal of russian troops from all tapestries, crimea, don't boss, and others then to try beautiful reparations. and only after that, ukraine would agree just sign a peace treaty several years ago. so they ask, you said that if any of the great new citizens identified themselves as the russian and get back to russia, given the states most of the meal of the day, after the return of those territories, they will exterminate everything russian to include in russian citizens the wes commitment of his barbaric formula loves it as key means they are ready to simple genocide. now you just or this word genocide, then this is something that both russia and ukraine accused each other. all the african continent is obviously no stranger to that phenomenon either, but that also means that it has

a valuable experience practical perspective on how to bring warring parties to the negotiating table and some sort of a reconciliation provided that there's interest on, on those sides. the, we now move to the front lines of the ukraine conflict rushes, defense ministry says it's forces are continuing to advance and a number of strategic locations across. but then you have the people's republic while they continue to battle against ukrainian counter attacks. in the past 24 hours, the ministry of defense reported that russian air defense units intercepted 3 storm shadow air launched missiles, as well as 65 mars rocket supplied by nato member states. it also added that after liberating all of the strategic city of r, thomas last week, troops are making further gains and the peoples republic ortiz, senior correspondent, were at gaz. the filed this frontline report from the battle ground to say is

little in this conflict that inspires true the front line troops of see to dual me solves tillery suicide, drones and slices. but some things can break even them. the tags inspire tara one such but he must belonging to russia's 200 separate. moved to a rifle brigade sets out jessica with a box with the crew of veterans. they knew how much the it'd be, hates them and wants them destroyed. and so boost restless at 1st, you feel fear, you have to concord and there is work to be done to protect our nation and its interests. we have to be moved by a quick gather, checking to them, and get away fast.

the many misunderstand how tags utilized in these conflict. it is rare for them to charge the enemy in fod directly. rather they are mostly used as a temporary firing, being directly from miles away, quick deadly and well protected. the some of you claims moves capable troops in the sector. they have attacked loan stop in order to break through russian defenses. it is a vicious and bloody fights as both sides of fielding,

the biggest and meanest weapon systems artillery. jew stretch a dozen miles deep into each other's territory for renewal and to the south of the woods is perhaps where the most intense plastic is taking place. now ukraine is, was the 2nd route with back what it is last, the city, what it is hard to achieve. now, what back it up achieved, what? and they took the city of nowadays, 1st encircled 4 tons of high explosives, at least in less than 10 minutes. the sloane ended screw applied as many as 400 rockets in a single day. such is the porosity of the flight on the flags of back from which again, say to be a massive. so tinita low,

a temporary gun used often foot down to batch re far to pick off you crazy and not tillery and all my. i'm lucky enough to be spotted for the floor, a 4th conclusive information about to die getting ukrainian guns which had injured . one of our crews were told to be ready. the order came in and we'd begin firing and their position in the end to crab self propelled howard stairs were destroyed. vfl total them. 2 of them. correct. nice. so you got your the engine? yes, the revenge. yes, it's a dish served gold. we're here for a reason, then tie countries behind us, they believe in us love us and the wages we do our job. drones captured the strikes the booth, the police supplied crab self propelled how it says the emulation and power, the charges cookie golf indicates the booth with damaged beyond repair. steve has said for some of its best,

special forces need to train the battalions indeed. sions, of far less than me is the battle here has turned into a high tech will of attrition, a brutal grinding contest with the objectives to out the gun, our show. and the last 4, i guess the of the for video region and other news, a video circulating online of us. senator lindsey graham's recent meeting with president vladimir zalinski of ukraine is raising questions about key as benefactors and whether or not the footage was edited. let's take a listen to what was released for now. yes, and we will be in the russians are the right hand side. she had mentioned to savanski that ukraine has adopted the american mantra, leave free or died. it has been a good investment,

but the united states to help liberate to grain from russian war criminals. now you're free. laska responded indian calendar and we will be, graham replied and the russians are dying. last give them added. yes, but they came to our territory. were not fighting on their territory. the statement prompted a flurry of outrage and the russian foreign ministry was quick to respond is an attempt to justify one's self esteem to failure. the nazi philosophy of hatred for the russians is what really unites the key of regime and its american patrons. this whole story with cowardly excuses and ridiculous attempts to shield lindsey graham is another blow to the already faded reputation of reuters, the bbc. we'd have to get both washington m t f out of the situation they created. this is not journalism, but the work of p. r. agencies by the order of the collective west, given everything they said,

the mission is impossible. we must acquit senator graham. but at the same time, not to smear the head of this landscape regime, it's propaganda. so let's get bradley said, now your free and silver we. and then that's when lindsay graham supposedly said, and the russians are dying and so on and so forth. so they claim that this is not actually how it happened, in which case then vladimir is the landscape through his friend on the bus. you would argue because they are the ones that released that again, this is a key reminder. this is not a rush or russian channel that released this clip. this was the press office of vladimir zalinski, and then lindsey graham said, all well, as usual, the rush of propaganda machine is hard at work. dismissing his words, he did say that and the russians are dying. and even if we were to say that this was a bad edit on behalf of the landscape of press office, the way he says and russians are dying is not in a, in a bad way this, that he says that basically he's happy about it. so the sentiment is that it's

great and it's not russian soldiers. how may that he said, and russians are dying, like he's happy about it. even if we give him the benefits of the dot and say that his quote was in some way, i suppose misinterpreted smiling while using the words as do you just said killing? i'm best money we could have spent to ever spend. it's not exactly paul diplomacy. i'm, he has previous in that regard to the exactly, and again, we've seen people, americans as well be in the wilderness. why the statements online? we're seeing so many comments or outrage. we wouldn't be surprised. maybe if this wasn't the 1st time, this is why russia is inclined to believe that this wasn't and that did that. this is in fact how it happened because we've seen statements like leads and wars from high level officials before. here, just some examples. the only way, the sense is for somebody in russia to take this guy out, you wouldn't be doing your country good service and the world

a great service. i don't agree that we can get him, and i think he knows that you can ask a samsung money in iran. what happens when we decide somebody the threat to the us? so of course, based on that track record, it's not hard to imagine an american high level official being the happy that russians are dying or even encourage and russians being killed. perhaps it's just worth recalling what the us, what i'm going to say stands to gain from this conflict to the us military. industrial complex is making a lot of money and they have a lot to gain from this. again, they're also selling. we know that the united states has been selling more gas and at higher prices, so they're making money from that as well. so of course, like they loved the past, they're on something that we keep hearing from them. time and time again, we've invested and i mean invested $66000000.00 in ukraine this year. so for this investment,
