little as licensed as this done by the class. she is a replica in east jerusalem as the idea prevents many muslims from entering the lunmark out x. and last on the div overall. mcdonough mentor, raging also head on the program side of town. freak as presidents, loans and opposition party request for the us to oversee upcoming elections in the country. calling it's an attempt to build a mortgage or democracy. this the final count out in russia, citizens of europe, to vote in the 1st presidential election since they are to bring up the conflict on the, on the president of western pressure which follows without exclusive coverage of

the build up to the weekends. the wherever you're catching the news hour from today across the world. welcome to most go on to our to international. let's get into monday's top story. as the muslim world enters its holy month of ramadan is really forces how violently prevented worshipers younger than 40 from entering the election most canisters. the dramatic studies from the scene shows the idea of troops pushing back in front of muslims at the gates of the world. we're not in for a number of women, as well as young and older are. as we're seeing, being beaten the buttons must be attempted to. authorities claim they're working to ensure a freedom of religion while providing security as requested by vincent. government

ramadan has no broad pace to gals either the leader of from us has blamed israel for failing to secure a ceasefire deal. i had a b as i'll make month, long fasting period. national to bet. now, how does we have a stablished 5 principles to achieve disagreement that we are striving for, which will be reflected in a comprehensive cease fire and in the water and gaza? the complete withdrawal dokey by an army from all gather territories, have full return of refugees without conditions to their places of residence. well, and also military issues for our people. until now, the enemy has been a vague and given queer assurances and commitments, especially regarding the cease fire meaning dispensation of aggressive warfare on cause. this means they want their hostages to return and then resume the world and our people, our in place we do shuttle well with cease fire talks apparently very much. all nice fears are growing that the regional violence could spiral. further. ortiz,

middle east bureau chief, maria finance. the spoke to me earlier from jerusalem with the 10s for a while and day and that's fall from the start. many expected for the holy model. so from a don have a loss and ease row were supposed to sign a deal before monday, brokered by a jumped on talk to her. but as you can see, the truth is nowhere inside with both sides, blaming each other. and now here is a mounting that it may see further escalation, not only in israel and the west bank but and gaza as well. earlier. is ro threatened to invade rough in guys, a south housing at least 1200000 displays guidance right now. who plan that has still a chaise up north east have mass doesn't agree to deal with a mass didn't. and we know that the idea has already prepared and presented plans for ground operation in the southern gaza. so we might expect anything despite the rising global concerns over the danger is a large scale offensive and such

a densely populated area might pose earlier. the president of the country that's these really more in gaza would not have been possible without the us, which supports these ro, financially, militarily and politically made it clear that's more innocent, that would be a red line. there's no red line. i'm going to cut off our weapons so they don't have the iron don't protect. they don't have. but there's red lines that if you cross isn't vacancy, cannot have 30000 more palestinians. he must, he must pay more attention to the use of lies be lost. as a consequence of the extra stake he's hurting my view is hurting israel. more than helping to 0 by making the rest of the world is contrary to what is your stance. so what about a israel? well, it seems to be determined to continue pushing, including in the solving paul to all the gather street. i know that all intimidated

by harsh words from washington on sunday, the idea of heat, one of the largest residential towers in rafa with air strikes, 7, a fresh, that's one of the southern parts of in slaves. and here's one from going to send it to you. yeah, hold on sir. and to by then. but i don't know exactly what the president man, but if you meant by that done on pursuing private policies against the majority, the wish of the majority of israelis. and then this is hurting the interest of israel. then he's wrong on both counts. double and these are not my private policies only their policies supported by the overwhelming majority of the israelis while is really prime minister, appears confident in spokane, on behalf of spain, time nation. recent. paul's indicates that a selections were held today, and it's on the whole would most likely lose to form a defense minister benny guns who is now remember all the countries war cabinet with the majority favoring guns for the position of prime minister. so why the confidence from b, b or benjamin attend yahoo!

what possible reason could be the conflicting messages coming from washington? we see the present by and criticizes it in the whole state and he's hurting israel more than helping he is roland coal and his actions a big mistake. however, he added that he wants control lessons to israel. we know that over 100 separate for him, military sounds, how shooting a closed and deliver it to israel savings or the body of your in guys. the beginning of over the 7, washington supplies was with at the same time, sends troops to build a florence for deliverance. humanitarian aids, 2 guys are finding says he wants to see a ceasefire, but we see that the us to be chosen not are you on security council draft resolution calling for? and we did cruise promising to office own document for a vote, which has never happened. so far, so this policy has its costs for washington in south, early of bite and it was interrupted during his speech 5 for tester who called out

to him for his continued support of israel war on her mazda brandon beams genocide . joe, it's hard to get him on the well early on to say present biden was called to the whole time i talked to his state of the union address to saying that t and newton yahoo, he referred to is really prime minister by his nickname, b, b i going to have a come to jesus late and explaining legs that he meant a serious conversation while the country, perhaps the only one in the world as now can really is off israel's bombardment of guys are actually supported. and after study one more than $31000.00 lives lost thinking about the serious conversation at the time when many wouldn't believe it is time for radical actions and measures, instead of mid

a trickling supply of hue, monetary in a took gallon. so the muscles enclaves, health care system is set to be a tricky point. only a 3rd of hospitals, there are still able to at least partially function. i made a phone relenting influx effectiveness from the is really foaming. some doctors are forced to operate on patients and mix shift unit. let's take a closer look at that to shoot me inside of the work. minutes from the, the international ride over there were in gals is seeing some new geo political alliances emerge. meanwhile, what previous loyalties they're tested. now there's a topic done for discussion on the latest episode of going underground option is today joined by former palestinian national authority advisor. lead elegantly use a preview of their account, which you can watch and full fraud monday here in order to to. so what we have then is a mass, perhaps more popular in the context of iraq, afghanistan, syria, libya,

a, and to the reputation of these major powers that keep talking about a rule of it's based order because clearly they're arming what's happening in gaza . and we have israel now the most dangerous place in the world to be a jew. so this is, this is where they situation is at the moment. um, i suppose, i mean that was um, i mean its not exactly how i would characterize it, but don't tell me how you would because and clearly the global south does not support. uh, well, yeah, but i mean there is that there is going to be castillo, the united states, and there's no question that a, the so called rules based order has taken a huge hit. i don't know that it can recover. i don't know that the credibility of the countries and states who have claimed to uphold that. ready was based order in places like you crane,

and i don't know that there credibility can ever really be restored. address with the global south. i mean, certainly with the global south, i think it's not a coincidence that south africa was the country that took up the case of the for genocide against israel in the international court of justice. there wasn't an error upstage, wasn't that was the majority country. it was so south africa and, and so yes, the global south is, is not only this illusion but quite angry. the whole speaking of south africa, an attempt to sell the country to other powers mountains, have the nations president has blasted the main opposition party for asking that the us oversee elections there in may? here's what else to run. the opposed to say in his dumbing response to the request, we say to come and monitor. but now for a non party,

the non state drive at non state entity to do something like that is basically say we have more k g, our, our democracy to either i don't really, it doesn't matter to me who those are. uh we do with regional organizations, continental organizations and global organizations and we in lives there. so. busy busy we think it's pride in this in g s, and there seems to be another agenda that i'm the pin so that those are the words of the president of south africa's that i'm a plus i'm responding particularly to the mainland position party. the democratic alliance updates in a letter requesting support from the united states as well as several foreign nations to ensure a free and fair election, as they say,

come voting time on between to 9. so it may print the post, the claims that the d is replaced as puts of africa sovereignty on a silver platter. and that, that data basically says we of sending our democracy and this is all coming as the country becomes increasingly nervous. that if the election day could be mod, by violence between condo receives the uniform political party, as well as the economy creed inside to the and is the party members as well. what the d a is, this is should be, is senior waiting in this and it says that they have a chance of winning, but not if the united states does not intervene. it also points out that, so that's because peaceful transition to democracy. 1994 were supported by countries throughout the world. the cities progressive vision and worked very hard just to defeat racial nationalism and political oppression. but the kid what is

being all he does of african countries that the d a avoided the wood, a pottage and it made sense. and instead of the phrase at that period as the racial nationalism and political oppression that's on its own, that is a sending sylvester because it's on a frenzy considering the fact that the democratic alliance of the party did not even exist during the countries for us to democratic elections in 1994. and so that's it because now say this clearly indicates that should be democratic allies go into government so that the car will be subjected to the bullying of the united states. and additionally, the letter is asking for taking the logical resources to come back to misinformation and this information from a foreign model i'm. i'm back to a basically, but she has moved from the atlanta with the full appeal to our government to recognize the high stakes for south africa in the lead up to, and of to month of the 2024 national and provincial elections. it is in this

context that we know form of the request all putting us in democracy to engage with consequence in the run up to the election. well, it's similar to that one was also seen to 2 of the foreign ministers around the world, particularly in europe. um aust, getting for helping ensuring that there is absolutely no foreign interference instead of africa's upcoming election. in fact, lisa, as well, was also seen by the democratic allies, but so that's what tends to reject all of these moves by the d. a saying that the d h has seen how the us into feelings in other countries. solvency has resulted in absolute destruction. and chaos, but still choose us to go ahead and life is limited to the you is that is to try to, i'm close for, for the d a to wanting to, to intervene. americans over c o elections, of which we never intervene in their own elections. so i don't think that is

a very is a very good i did 40 synthetic with most. so 100 percent. i feel like it's on sale on so that we can citizens because i don't understand destination between the, the political parties and our political parties. i believe that as a sort that there's not enough we can put a citizen, i'm supposed to have my c as well with regards to the polity. political industry and all that. they don't reside. yeah. so difficult to, to the that's good to see with regards to that said african citizens the saying that they don't need to use observers because what makes them right just to observe that african election. so with all the scandals that they have under, they balances even the amc has said that the da's need to amounts to nothing further stating that they don't even know what the basis of these tensions of off the d a r. but also, they say that this is not surprising to them. what do you expect from a party that wants to have international relations? how was that?

what do you expect from a particularly need to? i'm dunstan hayes and talks about the war in guys that by saying that one means genocide is one means of freedom. those are the places and sent them is coming to an advisor reading party. the amc pull, i want to keep attention on this story because we heard exclusively from the spokes person of the south africa's ruling african national congress party. lendy been 2 months here. safety opposition is essentially attempting to seize power in the country and its citizens who are going to suffer. we don't know what the suppose will be or has been from the us. but we do know that there and we are going to, and we always expected that there would be an attempt at regime change the democratic a lot and said the police come and put it to positions that they stand for. what arrive very well with those in the job and not that do not want to see

how about the new quality that dictated across the world. and particularly in the countries of the south, including south africa. if you look at a, as an example, to look at the level of coverage and inequality in the western cape, the only problem is governed by the da, where the da's say, where the government, the government will. but to go and have a look, they have a look at they lash conditions under which the minority needs and going to look at the state of townships in, in cape town and the outside areas of the wisdom keep going and have a look at the types of way, you know, refuses not clipped it in what is predominant you known as split areas and color communities in of can communities that gives you this story of the university of

inequality that is not going to be raised unless they different government takes a lot of the their wisdom k b. so, so it's a, it's a question of those that want to maintain and sustain, or the new customer will stop at 8 fedramp. i must say that to come simply in that we have strong internal controls in, in, in the country in terms of robust and independent decisions that i meant to safeguard elections. if the i, you see. so, but also what can we say for these pictures to set the 2nd human rights commission and many others? and we are comfortable that keeping the cd and so far, institution, we wouldn't be able to protect disability. all 5 of south africa, you can be assured that a we will look any attempt at composing a when i say u. s. o, any of the, you know, allies, we, we blockage a, not just as the in see the people, the certification we filled in. you attempted to interfering with our addictions

now see dallas in health care system isn't answers as 5 months of war have devastated most of its hospitals. i mean, a critical shortage of a many wounded palestinians are forced to undergo operations under hazardous conditions. next we take a closer look of the human cost in our special coverage of the middle east conflict . the we are calling is the civilians to leave guys a go selves. some us wants to keep them. there is a human shield. this is innocent. civilians are going to be here all night the all civilians and one of the

this up we were in our house when it was bombed. this is my niece. imagine i had to amputate her leg in our home. what in just is, what soon have we committed? i'm working on a kitchen table without anesthetic cutting off of 17 year old girls. like where is the mercy? god have mercy on us. the option of putting up a dodge while we weren't time the tanks were right to to a duel steps. i went out to the 6 pool to try to get

a signal. so i could talk to my dad who has been away for 6 years. my sister and nice all the time. it was huge. so i told my sister to go to the living room while i placed the cottons so that the tank would fire to us. i went to set on the couch and i was hit fast. i didn't feel anything. suddenly, everything around me turned white. i thought i was dead. my mom left the shop telling me and had my cousin take me down. while he was going down the stairs, i saw that part of my leg was gone. unlike such was just hanging by my skin. they called me to my house and put me down on the table, which already had died when it, as we had been making. they remove the dial and put me on that and see, let me pull it up. unfortunately, i had no other choice. there were just 2 options. either let the girl die as a martyr or trying to do something amputation of the leg was necessary. could i get her to the hospital? obviously, not because we had been besieged for 15 days. the

a live gym to shunt that the rest of the check my medical bag. but there was nothing in it except a pair of scissors and some guys, i know in every surgery the doctor asked the nurses to prepare everything. but for me, my nurses were my nephews. i looked around for a threat to tie the artery and i said, wait, i can't see properly. i didn't have my glasses with me. i told my nephews to look for a thread and tied the artery with an ordinary thread. the one you used to fix, torn close the total because if up just they kept the phone in my phone so he could see my own tree. the smell was unbearable. i kept bleeding out her full days. the pain was so strong, i was hallucinating off to full days. the time suddenly left the area. now let's say i gave myself 5 days to save the heat. i thought that would be the

maximum limit for her to endure the pain, but she handled something, no human can handle, having an amputation with no anesthetic, the, [000:00:00;00] the, the sites every day, a palestinian doctor cries because he can help patients,

but lacks the resources every day we perform amputations, not because we want to, but because we lack the means to treat them. i mean, we're not butchers, but we have no other choice. every day a post and the doctor dies a. so when he's in the hospital reception and sees the mother of brother, a sister bringing a dead or wounded person and fighting for a hospital bed, the 10s of millions of russians are preparing to vote for their next president. this coming weekend here on our team to national will be bringing you special coverage of the nation's lunmark event. the

will be election comes of a large scale challenge for rushes and bustled new regions. millions are preparing to cast their ballots there, despite the threats of ukrainian shelling r t shape always takes us through holiday. local authorities are making sure a citizens can exercise their right to have their voices heard as well. she prepares to go to the polls. this presidential election will post unique challenges in russia's new territories. these areas are court, the under martial law and cynical ukraine. you the tax on pulling centers are always a trip, but it's the solutions that are critical and those solutions must take into account the reality of the situation on the ground. for example, one of the voter has yet to receive the new russian documents screens kind of part of them. you'll notice people will ukrainian passports. i'm not able to vote in usually liberate said territories, but those are the rules and laws. but at the same time,

people want to vote and have expressed such a desire. therefore, we are speeding up the process of issuing documents and helping them to obtain russian passports. this is a daily process. moreover, we are looking at how to organize it even more quickly because there is not much time left before the elections. and people want to be involved. further innovative ways to ensure the safety of voters are being considered including restricting information regarding the location of the polling areas. and even moving the voting places from where risk a merge. the duration of voting may also be reduced to protect the voters with the local election commission is ready to use the valuable experience they gain in september 2023 during the election of deputies to the regional parliaments, still concert. so that's where the polling stations we also have technologies that allow us to ensure security rushes. new regions will also have the possibility of

early voting at pony stations located in an accessible or remote areas. in addition to these voters would be able to register to use mobile vote or mechanisms. this will all avoid large congregations of voters which are prime targets for ukrainian strikes. a variety of forms of voting will ensure the separation of people flowing into vote. in this way, it will be possible to avoid large crowds of citizens in one room. and of course, no risk can ever be entirely eliminated. and last year's local election showed that the ukrainian army was determined to disrupt the democratic process as much as possible. now, you're probably wondering why i'm wearing this protective vest and helmet 12 put quite simply is because polling stations are under the threat from ukrainian attack . this posting station, in fact, itself was struck during the referendum and 2 people were killed. but as you can see, it hasn't the to the people from taking part in the democratic process. so this year, as russians from very bus stuck to belgrade, heads of the poles,

they will be joined by the people have done bus, eager to exercise their hard won democratic rights, and to find their own future as part of the white or russian family. and while ukraine may do all in its power to prevent it, this selection will go ahead on the free voices of don bus will be heard. what archie has you covered for all the key developments surrounding the upcoming photo . we've got some things special plan for the march 15 to $17.00. the election to the 1st time the presidential ballot will be held across multiple days to do the state with us to find out more soon. you can follow the build up on our website as the and finally this hour, we're proud to unveil a brand new show. i claimed indeed an actor, a new punker, and his guest will be unraveling the mysteries of the world's most populous nation

. the 1st episode of, let's talk about, that's another name for india ers, later today. not 9 pm indian standard time here in r t international. let's take a quick look. i only say that i'm 80 is younger than my country 40. so in india i was born and i was born 1955. so we've grown up together now and you'll see, and we have seen that the other 5th largest economy book has changed the earlier and now why are we considered to be very reckoning for think there was always that role energy. and i think the generalization of it as been really acute the accountability of it has been acute, i think up positioning in a global platform is equally important, right? because positioning perception, like anything else, and we have bought from the media industry, but we know positioning and perception is half the half they have the approach to whatever it is. so i think the perception management where india stands has been a very strong. it actually is internally because it makes you gain confidence in

yourself because now you're saying it and it's very strong. but there's a good the endorsement from the outside plus the fact that that, that, that got to me of the ruling, the, even there are you aspiration levels and ruling they have changed. and if you us, and i've worked there with that foundation because of 800000000 people don't have aspirations, it doesn't make a difference. how big the other $400.00, because it divided would it be stronger? i think that divide is nattering to guide an extent. anyone feels i can make a difference in the country if anyone and everyone feels i can make a difference in the right place. the right of snippets of, let's talk about off, which are, is which premieres today a little make sure on. all right, a reminder for up to the moment developments of this monday, our website has covered head on over to r t dot com for all the latest global i'm russian updates analysis. plus all i
