rushes for administer survey lab. rob kicks off his diplomatic tour of africa, making his 1st stop in kenya, the a little after 5 pm here in moscow, and you're watching r t international. my name's donald corder. welcome to the program. our top story, after months of paula taking tortilla has chosen it's leader for the next 5 years incumbent president, ridge up early one has once again been entrusted to take the nation forward. he defeated the opposition candidate. come all candidate star low in the country's 1st ever election run off on sunday. let's take a look at the final results of the election. president $31.00 secured victory with just over 52 percent of the vote. around 4 percentage points ahead of his pro west opponent. a difference equated to around 2200000 more people getting behind the current liter. this sunday night saw a massive gatherings across the country,

celebrating are the ones victory. they waved national flags and lit flares while dancing and toasting to the wind. these are scenes from the nation's largest city of is done both. we've been hearing reactions, from region to region about the outcome of this proof of our use. we are very happy their leader one is our country goes through this difficult period no matter what we are people who think of our homeland nation 1st. therefore, i'm happy to say that i am a tour and our leader is other one. in a word through p a is always or go on. we have proven this today. will always win, 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 themes has come into power again. mr. can model would have been great for our country at this for a change of c. o. people decide on this and we have to accept for we're very lucky

to have our tea is more at home ami in is done bowl actually has been following events for us there. hey there moran sort of on picked up in early lead in the vote count. and in the end that gap was never really threatening. so can you take us through some of the events of this historic run off election a yeah. hello, that those have from a assemble a was in fine, have very, we've had to really busy days here to engine lots of people. now this to remind dog started to look for the 8 am yesterday. throughout the day we visited some polls be told, so people have 5 pm, the polls close. i'm in the counseling office within by the 5, a 6 37 o'clock in the evening here in local time. we put in, you know, that it was in fact they're the ones that have little take to the care of for the next 5 years out later on in the evening. and the one made

a couple of speeches. one here in this symbol of them in the a c, i am very foss headed headed back to anchor. i made another speech, the presidential election, some 350000 people, turned up for voters for that speech. sweet. she told a lot about sophie's growth. so it's about use and how it but he wants to encourage them to stay in terms of what he wants to do with the economy and bring down that information. and he also talks about regional issues. and that's where my next guess comes in, because you may remember yesterday i also spoke to john cover. if she's the senior, i just had an interest issue inside. he's here with me today. i'm so happy that he was able to join me again. so john, i think j, we will kind of knew which way was gonna go, we knew to the, you know, i, we have things on the posts, but how did the foreign news papers react?

because we kind of knew that they wanted types of different results. so they, they certainly wanted the different results. most of the headlines are, you know, air the one wins and then what's gonna happen. but they generally are, they're not enthusiastic. they're the headlines are all about questionnaire here. we know where he's been the last 5 years. where is it going? where's it going to take to key and that? and that's. we're all waiting on that. we'll wait to see what he does today or tomorrow, the new cabinet. what types of people are going to be in it? where's he gonna go in? the word is that his 1st trips are going to be cyprus and not sure why john, which is somewhat traditional, about where else is going to go. and is it going to meet with the sod quickly? it's not going to happen. and saudi arabia is going to happen here in turkey. so it's just all this stuff. but the, the headline for media reporting generally has been with new. this is going to

happen, not a great surprise, but sort of a disappointment that it did. none. the less you mentioned that quite interesting me is that he made, he needs to look that best for be closer to home before he he goes further afield, but adults been could be a good me a mediator, a good diplomat who was the leaders. so to congratulate him at the beginning, it was interesting to watch is the way i'm all to do now. as, as with the ball started, pakistan, i believe, was 1st and the prime minister. there was nothing about commerce, there was nothing about defense. it was about being proud that a muslim was again elected president trickier and that it was about the brother when it was about the collective. then you had somalia, same thing, shorter, but a muslim brother and even victor, whereby on a hungry his with short sweet. but it was more, you know,

good work. we're gonna look for the media where the other leaders as they begin to trickle in, particularly those that are members of nato, g 7, g, 20 united states. of course, it was turkey is a strategic partner. it's a member of nato. so we've all focus there. and i think that was something states because president or the one doesn't see himself as the head of a needle member and that's it. and he doesn't see the relationship, the bilateral relationship. the multilateral relationship is all about nato, all about sweden getting into nato. he sees it much beers and blacks. the green initiative is just one, but the relationship with syria is another either by john armine is, is another. so, um yeah, i think that probably was a mistake. you know, because as we know, present, everyone reads this stuff and he takes star literally at least for well i think

there's a translator, but he does take it seriously and it takes, literally what people say, right? when we looked at to the care, let's say we know we know we assume our satellite map we, they play the way down all of us. each of the kids, motors, 7 countries. we've heard about what he tries to do with the syrians is not re patrick and them immediately. he's i think looking to do it within the next 5 years . i had a guess previously from the parts and he said that, well, no. so i have a guest previously that she was the have the editor of us about seeing and as of the days about, she said that they're the ones looking to build a construct homes for these people. but is he going to sit down, have a talk with them as an asset because it's not not familiar with is a no, i mean they were, but before the civil war started, i think that they will sit down. they were planning to sit down before the

earthquake, and it was counter intuitive because it seemed they were quick, would get even more momentum board chief. we're going to sit down. this is now the time to do it at both have political cover and we're doing it because of this. they didn't do it. the election came. i think it's still going to happen whether it's tequila, whether it's saudi arabia did. i, i don't know whether it's moscow and it could very well be, be there, but some, i know he has, he has his, he has a plan that's more workable, but it doesn't require present besides buying because basically it's, you use tax payer money here. you give it to construction companies research here, and they, sorry, citizens buy certain exactly target citizens are going to be paying for this. they start building from the north to the south. they start with apartments, then they have to go to schools. they go to hospitals, then you have retail that so it ends up being a jobs program. and that's the next. that's what we are. so you did,

so you did want to create jobs. so perhaps we're looking at more conceptual cuz you know, there's a lot, well, i have, yeah, well, i went off here. how many more coalitions that would i would i, we have briggs, we have the a c o. we have either the euro, asia, it seems like it ever missing. everybody wants to be pub in a group. you know, with the brakes with the brazil, russia, india, china, south africa, interesting mix. i know we've got the belt, the remote initiative from side as well. that's gonna be probably a huge role, i think, i think that's why as far as getting involved and all these other pieces negotiations to be just to clear the roads. but that's, that's what another thought can we see to hear in any of these or adding mole move this, could we see them in the breaks, perhaps bricks is a natural, given the fact that they really don't have a country that has the location and the real estate, the turkey a has also the economic half that turkey has and turkey,

it does have commercial economic diplomatic financial relations with the others. i could also see president or the one saying yes, there are a lot of these acronyms out there. but some, maybe there needs to be one that turkey a is the 1st letter is. and so, you know, i don't, i don't put that, you know, out of the realm diego is, i just are all legal things with, with these heads of state of government. so, i mean, it is, everyone wants to be the big man on campus. everyone wants to be at the head of the table. everyone wants their initial to come 1st. then you get into practically, is there a benefit to all of this? and he does see benefit in dialogue, he sees benefit from travel, we see the turkish air force one having a lot of air miles on it. he uses it, he uses it effectively. and so i would absolutely not be surprised one, it goes into bricks and then to maybe he does something with china and maybe he

does something with the african countries alone. um. but i, i wouldn't be surprised at all. right, john? yeah, madison to say canadian is a canadian lou and also where we are in the office. most countries that we see, especially it out to the view of i'd be working with they talk about moving away from the dollar to the kids about the multi polar world. we never here on west and utilize a west, i mean, you know, see, and then folks here we went over here, they saw them talking about the multi polar. well that is that will order things changing. can you see that can do the next 5? it's i can see added on i'm president puts in being involved in these changes. i think the world of order remains as it is, but there are cracks that aren't there now. and so you have sort of like the,

the tectonic plates moving with the continents, so they're going to get jumbled up because yes, the us dollar is a global reserve currency remains to remain strong desire to make saw. so usually what do i love it, but you're in that, see, i'm the president of money, but if you remain strong in terms of as a percentage of every other currency out there that's being used, right. is it decreasing? ever so slowly? yes, that's not a good thing. and why is it in, in large measure it's because of the use of financial sanctions. it upsets everyone . it makes everyone feel complicit, and it also robs countries of their sovereignty. and no head of state and federal government likes that. so in the case of president there to one, he looks at that the current world order and the focus on the use of the dollar. and she does want to realign because there is a feeling amongst an increasing number of countries. and it's not only those that

don't like the us, it's friends of the us who are just say, the financial sanctions are going to far because now diplomacy has been redefined as coersion. yeah. not, not influence thing. not, not the go shame, but it's fairly blunt force trauma. yeah. and so you are present and everyone is present. she president who on the leaders, president lula pride, the prime minister moody. and they're looking and they're saying, look, the dollar is the dollar, but we're just not prepared to be hostage every morning to the dollar and to what washington decides to do politically and watch our currency fluctuate. so i think you're going to see some efforts. will they be successful that i don't know, but they're going to be efforts and the efforts themselves have consequences in the dining suitcase and be playing a role in that as was guys. he said, russia, china and other countries around john. it's been always as always a pleasure and interview. thank you so much for joining me. i thank you so much.

let's make it all the way out. it's just for now for yourself. but for us to my pleasure. well, a guy that's been a very, very busy day for this. i'm 2 days here and if some of it does save it to uh, bridget 5, add on and 5 my a piece is pulling out. let's get them back in again. yes, the guy los happening and the ones go a little on his bike. it he will be in norway said on friday, and he'll be appointing a new cab, a bunch of cabinet ministers. and they will be, of course, seeing how they move forward from farm. this is the finance messes. so from us here and assemble back to you, done and have a great day. all right, thanks for those details are to use moran home ami with another really interesting discussion with american political analyst and senior editor for issue insight. john tablets, thanks again. out you backed o. s. c e. observers are now refusing to recognize are the ones clear election

victory with a 52 percent majority saying the campaign lacked a fair and level playing field. as in the 1st round bias, media coverage, and the lack of a level playing field, it gave an unjustified advantage to the income by the election administration technically manage the election efficiency. but it's lack of transparency and combination. communication largely persists that us president joe biden and european leaders earlier rushed to congratulate or the one on his re election, which she seemed to contradict their treatment of the newly elected turkish liter. in previous comments and western media reports are to contributor rachel marston, explains what's behind this sharp opinion change by the west on are the ones when check this out. us president joe biden tweeted, quote,

i look forward to continuing to work together as nato allies on bilateral issues and shared global challenges. but just over 3 years ago, in december 2019, when bottom was running for the presidency against incumbent president, donald trump, who had a really good relationship with air to one. i told a bunch of new york times editors that the us should quote, make it clear that we support opposition leadership so they can quote, take on and defeat air to one, not by a crew, but by the electoral process. by then also said that, quote, i've spent a lot of time with him, meaning president air to one of turkey. he's an autocrat. so now suddenly the white house is switzerland's not picking sides. biden said earlier in the electro process and turkey that he just told that whomever wins does it on in big us. we. so is it any wonder that earlier in the presidential campaign, early one had been accusing the opposition and washington of commuting together

against him? you might, them gave the instructions saying we have to tell the other one. i know this all my people know this tomorrow the balance of will give by then and now says well and if anyone was looking for a 2nd source, other than finding themselves trumps former national intelligence director, which are great now just extensively accused biden of 4 and meddling and turkey instructing jeff like to meet with the opposition candidate in the middle of the election was a terrible mistake. the 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, so your plan leaders are also now joining this congratulatory choir. but in the run up to the vote, brussels was dangling the notions of a common market with the e u. n. visa liberalization for turkey in the u. in front of directors, voters like it was some kind of an engagement ring, even though they seem more interested in just stringing and car a long to keep helping it out with migrants from africa are hosting nato basis for

their never ending wars in africa. and them at least or negotiating the black sea grandiose between russia and ukraine, and a significant chunk of the western press was also explicitly calling in the months before the selection for the wind to be dropped, kicked from power, and through western meddling if need be. now none of this seems to have escaped otherwise attaching the right in city of psychological operations carried out in the international media about us on the 9th of may, the 14th we through all this away with the will when infested in the ballad books. we have shown the dictatorship rhetoric is pure nonsense. think of it this way. will it dictate to hold a 2nd round the dictates of finishes his job in the 1st round, and besides, he can finish it with 90 percent of votes. there are many examples of this in the world where long and to win the hearts of our nation know the dictatorship. so just

days ago, western lead, as we're already treating early while i'm life the dumped acts. and now that he's back on the scene, they're acting like he either didn't notice their remarks or doesn't remember their bad know thing. well, good luck with that. well, the get more insight on the story. went across live now to dr. bu into yahoo is a political analyst and research here. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. dr. the 1st thing i'd like to ask you about is what you have to say about what the o s. c, e is saying about these elections calling the campaign lacking a fair and level playing ground and essentially, you know, saying that these results are not legitimate as well. first of all, i have not heard from the opposition. any claims that the results are not legitimate. so let's divide these things into, to the result, some budget them, and it's a clear victory by more than 2000000 votes. again by president mentor.

i think you're confusing as the 2 issues, eh, plane leveling field and the results are not the legitimate are 2 different things . it is, it is true that as the leader of the country president mer to on had a significant, advantageous to himself during the election period. that's on denial, but the about the taking that further saying that actually it's an image of the med resolved. it would be a tremendous stretch and it's not something that is supported by the defeated side of the the party here. nobody is screaming that's up in the turkey side as far as we know. the only thing that we're seeing in the opposition is that they are trying to answer the questions and why the sale of the, the, the social,

political and economic conditions are definitely to their favor. and there's been significant economic stress in turkey. everybody knows that the earthquake was disastrous and going to election after this uh, search way could be done going to be a disadvantage was a disadvantage for the, the leading party and the government government. i mean, all these facts on, on the, on the table opposition still loss. and despite the fact that, in my opinion, i think they did a very good campaign. the opposition did. it's not that they made tremendous failures and blacks and, and mr. costello actually added to is as good as it could in my opinion, but the notion is as some of your guest clearly uh, specified in an articulated people in turkey. i trust the present and their dog that's,

that's the bottom line. and the majority of the people i see him as the leader that they. busy that he pulled them uh from uh, poverty uh from uh, from a social uh spot that they had not been recognized uh previously. not they are uh managed in both and, and uh this, this really reflected in the ballot box. uh, as a true um trust and leave in him more so than any complaints that they might have had uh for the economy conditions. so this is a bit of a complicated situation for a lot of people to understand. it's not, uh, you know, i mean, we all know how the expression in american politics is the economy, stupid. you know, as a famous, uh, quote uh, from the election cycles over here. yeah, it is true. the economy is very important to know is among the. busy most important

elements in any election in any, anywhere around the world bought into here, especially and, and other places more. so there are other things that is becoming as important as the economy and present they're gone. understands this people understands, is nation probably better than any other politician any, any other off his opponents and he's really clearly prove that. so uh, i mean to make, to make the long story short uh the results are digital. okay. i mean uh yes he had, uh, he use advantages uh during the election cycle. no question about it. but he, yvonne yvonne, uh so this is uh, the wasting time on uh whether the results i have not visited with or not is only gonna hurt the opposition and i don't see them doing that also. so going forward is the question is whether the country is going to be more united or remain

as separated as it was. that's a big i know. and that so much depends on how a person and they're doing is going to take his political of this course going forward. this is, this is very important. and also what are the measures that he's going to do for the alarming economy? does everybody faces in the country? i think he does have answers to those questions. any kept those close to those cards close to his chest and we will see the very soon. it's not this week. so off the. busy you know the elements to the answer to these questions of whether a he would really follow what he did prior to the election. and in terms of economic policy. or you see going to have much stronger dialogue with the finance centers

in the world as well as in the west. and my, my guess is that he, he will and also from the responses for by the rest of nations, from the us to press to everywhere. we can see that the people are ready to work with the president that go on. because the politics dictates thoughts, not necessarily that they, they love each other. we all know that that is not the case. but those are the luxuries is international politics, in my opinion, is that you, a policy exec matters to add to, to yet has shown to the. busy world that they are indeed a democratic re run country and people are to key it freely unless they are leaders. and in the tremendous attendance the falls they've shown uh

wants to gain, is that the is the the unique way. and the unique ownership for the searchers democracy is actually a lot. all right, dr. bull into yahoo is political analyst and research are thanks a lot for giving us your input on the program. thank you. thank you for having versus foreign minister has landed in africa making his 1st stop on a diplomatic tour of the continent circuit lab. rob touched down earlier in kenya, and together with canyon leaders, he discussed a number of geo political and economic issues including the emerging with multi polar world order. by for of also noted the need to reform the united nations security council to ensure wider representation. i'll take the bus move that pretty good, quite reasonably presents its intentions to become a real full fledged center of the emerging multi polar world order. the reform of the un security council should be

a step in this direction. the problem of the security council, as we have said more than once, is the excessive representation of western states. out of the 15 current members, 6 represent the united states and its allies. of course, it is necessary to eliminate this injustice by admitting a representative of asia late in america, an advocate to the security council. this is the only way to ensure a presentation in this main you and body. already, 4th visit of this kind by sort of gala or off to the african continent over the past year or so, since the beginning of the russian 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 contain of western sanctions against russia, which were introduced with no regard for the 3rd players. many of the african nations that have absolutely nothing to do with the disagreements between russia

and the west, bear the brand of the shortage in width and fertilizers and many other export. the 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 between russia and kenya is still not fully realized. as the tray turnover growth russia will be looking more attentively into diversifying its trade into african currencies. not only can you but any 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 breaks countries will be discussing specifically the mechanisms of protecting and circumventing western sanctions. you know,

there is an interesting coincidence of that piece visit comes on the heels of a similar tour a by the ukranian for administered mutual, clear buckle was visiting a number of african countries trying to persuade them to a band and then neutrality and joined western sanctions. against russia, something that the, that it was particularly eager to do and for very obvious economic reasons to bill for them even more especially now because many african countries are suffering from the facts of very severe droughts. for example, kenya, it has uh, more than 4000000 people in the state of acute within security. and this is where the boundaries of the obstacles that are created on the way of russian experts hurt people the most. now what's also interesting is that a number of african leaders have come up with our own these initiatives for the ukrainian countries.
