of the russian capital, celebrating russia 1699. the leaders have signed the declaration of process. they celebrated the weights, basically the record in russia. it was one of the very 1st step of the dissolution of being you was to sar 1994 at this day became a public holiday. but it was not really why the celebrated until the early 2000, when the russian president put in, put a lot of effort to promote the holiday and celebrated. you may ask, what do or their new russians do on this day? well, right now we are at one of the many concerts that are happening and well fed their rates, and not only that, but their own festivals during the day. not only the ordinary people celebrate, but they also celebrate a prominent a permanent russian writers or sciences. and on this day, the russian president gets all wars through these people as well. now,

all in all the state is to come on the rates. i'd be, it's even russian citizens and to show national pride some of the worst today, the world's told is, tyler device bush cliff. i displayed the colors of the russian flag, the administration, all these guys, great to publish this video on session networks, congratulating the russian people on that and actually on holiday and the address that wish the russian nation a few to paved with unity. i'll post verity united our, that moist hasn't joined west and sanctions imposed on russia and has maintained friendly relations for the we can expound the and was to blow a judy in a song should not be the one facing charges that's according to china is foreign ministry spokes person who did that the us as the one which should be held accountable, a guy so the son should expose the truth. but the heck i imply that

a spine in students sick words from all countries indiscriminately, antoine, it's best to do white it's crimes. with other countries, you don't really get this kind of thing. it's the equivalent of sitting beside somebody on the subway. there's going through the text messages and you look over and it kind of go off boring, or in the us this case, you look over and you go, wow, that's a lot of skeletons in the closet, right? so that's what's happening here. and that's really why they're not big fans. of wiki leaks, french national assembly falls to us, you know, the former french prime minister. he testified recently the commission for, for an interference into french affairs that the us listened in on him when he was prime minister of france and conversations he had with then president nicholas out because it, and we also know that from which he makes revelations is came out in 2015 as well as the fact that the us was using electronic spine on the german chancellor a during angle americans mandates as well. so this is current news that, that we're hearing about and, and all of this has come kind of coming at

a time when julia massages challenging his fate in the hands of the u. k. tried to extradite him to the us. i think it's important to underscore the julian. it sounds really isn't charged with hacking, primarily. so we're talking here about more or less that soliciting information, which she's julian a sorry just to legend, to have done with former army intelligence analysts. chelsea manning who basically spilled a bunch of secrets and ultimately was i had there was pardoned or had their sons commuted by former president brock. obama julia massages now facing extradition. so we have the person who tucked the information freed from prison. julia massage is now in the hot seat. um, now there are some people who are really starting to speak out about this. some big names. a view as concern. the human and possibility of the extradition of journalist julian assigned sondra has done an important job denouncing illegitimate actions by one state against another. his arrest goes against defense of democracy

and freedom of the press. it is important that we all mobilize and his defense. it's important to underscore that documents that we can weeks has revealed over the years relate to things that we never would have known about if it wasn't for wiki likes, for example, the secret us drones strikes and young men attacks on civilians that were alternately hushed off in afghanistan and iraq, when they were executed by us military government, spying on their own citizens through mass collection dragnet, namely western governments. the democratic party brass in the 2016 us election, colluding in favor of and candidate hillary clinton to the detriment of bernie sanders, who is a challenge at the time. we know all that because of what he likes. um and also it's important to note that or the kind of activity that he's being attacked for are the kinds of things that are very useful for journalists and pretty close to the same activities the journalists do themselves. it's kind of a scary thing when you see that somebody who is just publishing information is, is

a facing now extradition and many, many years in prison. just days earlier, a london court refused. sondra is appeal against extradition. what more can you tell us about that? yeah, well, this is a high court in london, they rejected his his appeal, he's now appealing it to a panel of 2 judges with this is going to happen very quickly. it's supposed to be heard next week. this is really the last stop on u. k. territory after that could go to the european level, but it's, it's really not looking good. now, as long as the legal team argued that the u. s. u k. extradition treaty does not allow extradition in cases that are political and turns out there are some members, apartment in the u. k who are speaking out saying look, it just may be that very thing. people of disappointing the u. k. high court has denied julia and assigned the right appeal, his extradition to the us. more important than ever vs trailer and government continues their advocacy and push for an immediate end to this matter. does the rule of law apply into u. k. guys, sir?

jonathan swift, rejection of julia in a sense of bill against expedition is another unpaid them about the shell, ruling and backs. the question posed, interest is that your issue is serving. it's certainly not the public interest. it seems like this is a freight train on a one way track going a 1000000 miles an hour, and it's very, very hard to do route for us on just legal team. and at this point they still have one last stop. before the end of line. we'll have to see what happens from it's highly unemployment, is the silvio. berlusconi has passed away in the hospital in milan, he was 86 years old, russian president vladimir page and has expressed his condolences. note seemed to be full of premier, will be remembered. but as a friend of mosca, a little by lead to he was a politician over european or one might say global scale. there are a few such people in the international arena now. he was a great friend of a nation and did a lot to establish business and friendly relations between russia and european

states. he was an unusual person for a politician because he was very sincere and open. i want to express my sincere regret and condolences to the italian people and all the relatives of mister bonus scone because he had suffered from leukemia and was admitted to hospice. so last week, following a long inspection, as the police longest serving post will premier, his policy has been moved in by political license. why those at home, along with world leaders, we take a closer look at his legacy point and fascist. it's lee in 1936. sylvia versus connie said that he remembered the horrors of war from a young age. perhaps that is what serve this is drive to become not only immediate ty coon, one of the richest men in italy, but also the longest serving its highland prime minister after world war 2. italy is the country i love. here i have my roots, my hopes, my horizons here,

i learned my job as a mentor for premier or from my father and from life here i learned the passion for freedom. i tell you that we can i tell you that we must build together for us and for our children, a new italian miracle, a multi billionaire, a heading, a european government. suppose also a 1st, but that's not all. he also owned one of the most famous football clubs in the world ac milan for 30 years. his other passion was singing, and not many people know that he actually co rhodes the teams and some oddly enough, he named his conservative party foresight. dahlia, which means go actually after trans used by ac, milan funds, a man of many talents who always left a lasting impression. writes charming, controversial humorous, and never afraid to speak his mind. as he said, lucy, don't c or a k c cam. i guess you can like, is he gonna?

that's paid, said one of the rooms that to but i have obama movie supposed to be made up until august. the 5th and his level of women was perhaps, as the taurus, as his law for vladimir putin much was written about their so called romance over the decades in western mainstream media. and he always hoped that he could bring washington into the mix when i was in government in 2001 i said publicly that i wanted to end the cold war, which had been going on for 50 years and was a terrible anguish. i was successful because here in rome, in 2002, i convinced george bush and vladimir putin using all my talents of friendly relations. 2 ends of the cold war. better than last long as we know. but the friendship between boots in a douglas county when from strength to strength, some said it was due to mutual business interests, but it seemed to go far beyond that. here there were and saw dania when they,

it's highly in liter hosted fruits, and that is villa in 2008. and this has them in crimea in 2015. a controversial trip for western politician. as it came after. local residents voted overwhelmingly to reunify with russia. 87 percent of crimean citizens voted 93 percent devoted to seed from ukraine, voted to be an a ton of mr. public voted to become part of the russian federation. you should see the love, the gratitude and the friendliness that will come to bruton. that didn't go down well with western politicians, of course, but silvio berlusconi was not a man who cared about what other thoughts. and he never shied away from telling it like it is. he understood russia's points of view and slammed the wes for prolonging the conflict in ukraine. justice february to us, birch and washington to come to the senses and start watson and keith to cut off

their weapons supplies in order to achieve an immediate cease fire. i would never have gone talking to the landscape because we're witnessing the devastation of his country and the slaughter of its soldiers and civilians. so i judge very, very negatively the behavior of this gentleman. berlusconi is ridiculous accusations against the ukrainian president are an attempt to kiss pollutants hands which are covered in blood, up to the elbows a coach and was pushed by the russian population by his party, by his ministers to an event. this special operation. the plan was for russian troops to enter in a week to replace the landscape government with a government of decent people. this is a man who entered politics in the early ninety's and managed to serve 3 terms, despite being constantly charged with something that seems mainly tax evasion of fraud who most charges were dismissed. but he was eventually convicted of tax fraud in 2014 and was even banned from running for office. as soon as the band was lifted

in 2018 however, he won a seats in the european parliament the following year. and he returned to the country, senates but it was gone. he was never wants to give up or stay away. i am the jesus christ of politics. i am a patient, the victim. i put up with everyone. i sacrificed myself for everyone. i have very good personal relations with mister, but a scrutiny. i think that he's one of the greatest you're paying politicians of today, despite his stablished amount of with women as a politician. he is of course, one of the last mohicans of european politics. the passing of silvio berlusconi is a great loss not only for its sleep and european politics, but also for russia, as he was one of very few people in europe, who not only respected russia's points of view, but was also trying to get others to understand that it truly is the end of any era

. it's how that economist handles. i, julia, paulette, and i say, silvio berlusconi will be remembered as a politician who was able to develop strong relations across the global political arena. the reactions of our hearing process like can you tell you of course mostly institutional. so the main, this course that you can hear is about this create a politician. these create a man of 82 sions. and of course uh his role as a, as a big business man, he's a businessman but in business meant that he's able to have a dialogue with the account we use we, we must, whoever you couldn't make affairs. but you understand that he's not just the comics with you must develop also a development. you must also develop a, a cultural and a social relationships with you. the sense differentiate with russia i think was an

aspect which was very clear. a middle school. he was very able in the developing relationship with the international leaders, there is the sentiment of an important the political 1st tonality to that i was going to ask, okay, now if he has criticized c u n. world food program out of washington over that decision to suspend food a to the country. i mean back is ations of widespread in school today to pay for it as easy. and government spokesman has branded the new political stating that it only causes law suffering for the population. and a 20000000 people are dependent on food aid in order to survive according to the un, mostly due to ongoing conflict on droughts in the region. local report acropolis hotline. huffman of this decision not to cut off the much needed food supply a tool if your is really seen as a part of the use of the federal government. spokes person who

says that this is a political decision, this laws to be taken on the basis of the conflict which had endorsed the country in the horn of africa for 2 years of unrest. the civil strife between the federal government forces as well as the degree people's liberation front. no bed conflict was reached a ceasefire. at least from the applicant was that which was located here in south africa in the capital city pretoria. this was seen as the origin solutions with african problems and reading problems to give her the momentum to some of the programs that had stopped as a result of devising which led to many lives b. ready last, now the united states government that represented in this case by the you with aid,

as well as the, the united nations represented by the was programs. i think that best buy that they have been providing to you over here was really cattail. that was, i brought it from the intended target and it went else way. you'll be the government, the same dates of solely the the was to blame for the we know this diversion mbm visit to get with the both agencies to the full investigation that would come with this one that has been going and what has led to the current situation that we have but the to easy thing, but the general of homes of july which they have been providing woodstock but not the basic needs in terms of the school programs which we have seen receiving, solving from supply as well as those of fragments and left teasing women as well as the story of thomas. we frontier you degreed carol and provide the assistance

that he has been providing one soul but for molar tales view of the issue here. the views of miss mccain, who is the executive director of the lo drobek for diversion is absolutely unacceptable. and we welcome to the government. if we see your peers commitment to investigate and hold accountable those responsible while we will temporarily hold food aid assistance in ethiopia, nutrition assistance, the children, the pregnant and breast feeding women, school meals, programs, and activities for building the resilience of farmers and busta release will continue on interrupt was retained there, be emphasizing what they are willing to do in the meantime. before solution is reached about only $11.00. this how long it will take for this investigation to be an artist, be on the way and how it could be done with considering the millions of life as they continue to depend on that. this pro rated

a therapy of phase news on campus family size. it's common for the west to use 8 as a political to on the time of the 80 to oh gosh, 5 number of free to do 50 person. so you guys are, i'm a, i don't really meet your needs data from the, for an organization. all the 8 organization, you know, pieces, how chrome, the word for program and us is, it goes up, be the kind of see creation all the, you know, there's also these or drones for the past 2 years, the, to a vessel, the situation more x is the basis of buying that, this shooting by you is a good word for providence. a is the name of the politics in all the waste. pay a, b, c. tracy with amazing. e a. b on this hall passed all of the

the, the the hello, i'm manila chad. you're tuned into modus operandi in turkey, a close call for incumbent president rachel early. one narrowly beating out the opposition. today, we'll delve into what this means for turkey. it's nato partners,

and the expansion of ties to the east. all right, let's get into the m. o. the, the made presidential elections for turkey went to a run off between the incumbent reach of tire, or the one and opposition leaders come all coached a role. lou, some 64000000 eligible voters took to the poles 1st on may 18th in beacon compulsory general elections from the field of 3 at that time the incumbent faced off with tillage, the rolls of the c h p, and sent on a line from the h a party now all on came in 3rd and then threw his support behind earl juan and his a k party following his defeat in the general. however, neither or the one nor kill extra roland walked away with 50 percent of the vote.

so it went to a run off between the 2 men on may 28th. now a lot hung in the balance with the turkish elections that went well beyond their borders. the question and the countries participation in organizations like nato or the you all came into play with the countries ongoing economic was the burden of my rights flowing through the borders and conflicts in neighboring states. turkish citizens made their choice in the end, rachel, or the one defeated his challenger winning the seat by just under 5 percentage points. now that was 52.18 percent of the vote. joining us to discuss what this means for a turkey r n the rest of the world. this is professor of political science and international relations at multi pay university doctor has done, you know, you can follow the professor on his twitter at house on, you know, 1920 professor. thank you for joining us. now. dr. now president rachel

type or the one has won his 3rd term in office recently, but only by a narrow margin threw a run off between him and come out 2 extra roll. first, did this come as a surprise to turkish citizens and why was that boat so close? well, the, the turkish elections are bit tied because the contest it's uh, the fact that the election this time was so close, indeed, neck and neck wasn't necessarily terribly surprising to close up joggers for instance, i never at fault can we start all over when, in actual fact, last year at this time i shared the threads on my twitter site um, you know, a binding why she could win. and, and so the results uh, simply confirmed what i had said earlier. and then, you know, on the,

on day that there may be several ways of looking at it. you know, if you look at it from monday and come by and say, well the, you know, the color start on the page, click, i almost have to watch. so does that mean uh, some of the light came a is gonna win in the next elections? well then that may be one way of looking at it, but that may be another way of looking at it. for instance, um, yeah, i would say that this was the pine, the most puppy. shes time for any opposition later to when the elections basically, you know, in that let's, let's slight because of tool. you have a situation in which you have a incumbent president who's been running the country for over 2 decades, a terribly or, you know, tired and people show signs of awareness of him the way she does things the way she talks to me about certain things and what have you,

but m a and on top of all that you have an extreme economy in crisis. now you have skyrocketing the food prices, your have the problems about the brands in particularly in natural poles and, and despite old at date, he managed to win. so that is i think what we need to look at in depth now or the one that has been described at least by western media as something of a strong man leader or sometimes an extremist or even authoritarian. are those fair characterizations of him? and is that how he is viewed at home a well according to the opponents. yes. and uh, but um, you know, a large section of the population is doesn't subscribe to that view. um eh, view the west and media and sort of uh,

you know, put, say crush. uh, needs to be looked at that very sign gums, photo since he was the darling of the west and was until some years ago. and when he was doing the american bait in syria, when he was acting hand in glove with the matter cuz um about uh, coming out according to sign of the middle east. i'm about, you know, turning the country into some sore throat, some sort of federal, state and both have you in those years. and it don't forget to you as the one who ordered the bringing down or the russian fight to the judge in 2015. in those years . she was starting the d and the darling or the west. what happened? and as a result of which, basically the western media began to them. and i said,

i think that is uh where be the wherever we should look at to understand what the problem is about. first is that were in this country for several years. i, j, you know, call spirit sees as a result of which people being present through dr. documents and what have you, people, software, you know what we have talking about large numbers of intellectuals and generals officers. and so many people have basically, i languished in prisons. they were west and media, despite old dot uh, and despite the fact that there were signs that the, the sort of documents and evidence were all concoct up against these people. and the rest, the media was still sticking to add on and saying he was doing the right thing. because at the time he was imprisoning what we called in this country,

the nationalists and the regime s. okay, so what the meat west, the media says about someone like came and should not be taken so seriously. so the good thing is, and in this country, the onto metacognition is measured. that's about 8 to 5 to 95 percent. and that for the, you know, the people don't get carried away, but by what they see in the west, the media. i see. so i guess then in recent years he's somewhat fallen out of favor with the us of grace. i think he's fallen out of grace. yes, because you know what happened was she done an against the american plans of carving out courtesy strong and particularly in the case of syria and that he fell out of step with the americans. he wanted to get 2 adults out. i'm sorry he

wanted to depos um the, the city and the, the how a l. i saw it. but then the americans didn't follow it. what they wanted to do well though it was the american, so got to in that be great and creating a big mess in syria and all that. so basically an indian, he came down to where he should be in the right at the beginning. okay. coming up next we'll explore turkey is vital role in the ongoing conflict in ukraine. we'll discuss it when we return with dr. hass on know. so type the m o will be right back the the

there are leaves then.
