incident happened in the northern parts of the gather street in guys, a 16, the way to you round about this place is known as a point where age trucks come and they arrive to the probably seen in the ministry . blaine's israel for the attack. some unconfirmed reports also say that's an idea of how they coped or open fire on gallons. waking for critical supplies, the health ministry also adds in its statement that the number of victims may rise up as ambulances struggle to reach to the area of the attack. and there was no any response from these really side. until now. the idea of dismiss reports about the attack as falls, urging the media to rely on the on credible in formation. uh, we also receive and verified the do, allegedly, from the green dead bodies under the rubble headline on top cover. then dust ensued

. but again, it's very hard to be independently verified right now and had to tell from the seed you where or when it was shot with humanitarian crisis now unfolding in the power stated in claim for leave supplies, arrival is always a big event. it's understandable. a lot of people usually gather at a point where officially it is announced that food and water is so critical in needed supposed to be distributed and unfortunately sometimes it becomes dangerous . no, maria, this isn't the 1st attack of its kind. is it? yeah, that's true. last months they was similar assault on a crowd of palestinians who gathered on the shade street, also in guys a c t and also they were waiting for food distribution and the probably the student health ministry at home us then blamed israel for the deputy attack has claimed

and in the far east citizens on friday are lining up and casting their boats in the presidential election are to will be here every step of the way with our special coverage, the, the vast expanse of the nation covers 11 time zones. russian citizens from the far east were the 1st to cast their ballots. as voting is now under way footage from the volcano late in land of come, chuck shows locals as they pick up their next president. russia's central election commission, chair women share their encouraging words especially with my mother over the thank you very much. first of all, to the residents of come, child got into good guy who came to vote for understanding the significance of

participation in such an important event. i'm grateful that all of us together together, we are a force. and we wrote for russia to assume that i had of the election, vladimir putin has addressed the nation calling on every russian citizen to take part because every vote counts a luxury and make it has been that i see this will be the 8th time russians vote in the presidential election, which proves our country's commitment to one of the fundamental principles of democratic society and the regularity of elections, the outcome of this election will shape russia's evolution and growth for years to come. it is a historic event and a moment of great responsibility. the only source of power in our country is its peoples. a fundamental principle that's enshrined in russia's constitution. its core meaning is that you and only you, the citizens of russia can decide the future of your homeland. you are about to

cast your vote. and in doing that, declare firmly and resolutely your will, your aspirations and your personal commitment to the continued development of our shared home. i am sure that you recognize just how perilous this time is for our country, and what difficult challenges lie ahead of us in almost every direction. to continue to meet them with dignity and overcome these hardships, we need to remain united and remember our inner strength. we must show our unity and determination to march on together. every vote is valuable in every vote matters. so i urge you to exercise your right to vote in the coming days. our country is massive, but polling stations will be open on every corner in every city, town, and village. when you're ready to take a suicide for improving, who are the other contenders and the race by this loved the bunk of is from the up and coming new people party at 39. and a former businessman, he's claiming to be the young, fresh faced. russia needs,

in the bank of recently met with international observers who will monitor the elections despite his political party. having only recently appeared on the russian political scene, he emphasized that he has a big team assembled to observe the voting process, to make sure it's free and fair. of course, we expect that the elections will be held at a high organizational level. and i know high important international participation is that includes observations which will be organized here starting tomorrow, they'll be computers. and observers, observers will also be working in the regions, primarily in areas where there are no cameras. most of the polling stations are equipped with cameras or a large team of volunteers will also monitor the progress of the elections online. and next up we have nichol. i had a phone of from the communist party, a parliamentary veteran. he's been a familiar face in the world of politics for over 3 decades. in fact,

he was runner up when he lasted for president in 2004 on our burning electoral issue ukraine. he says there can be no more goodwill gestures a similar go with somebody and you officially given the current public regime and ukraine, which was planted by western europe. i perfectly understand the population of ukraine. they are ready to agree by and large to do anything to stop the fighting film, which recently both foreign minister lever off and the president of our country have repeatedly stated that we are ready to sit down at the negotiating table. but on russia's terms, there is no other option. and finally, legal need slootsky who lives the liberal democratic party he is currently pulling at around 3 percent. he was also actually a member of the russian delegation at the symbol peace talks with ukraine. back in the spring of 2022. his campaign has been driven by social issues like tax cuts and tackling inflation. yes,

a piece of address if we describe the russia of the future as we see that it will be a comfortable country where you can not worry about safety driving normal roads without traffic chance and not freeze at home in winter. because the management companies work well, it is a fair country where all citizens rights are respected and all social guarantees are realized where there are no poor people. this is a great country that is respected by everyone in the world. it has formed a new global majority in the world, is replacing the anglo saxon regime centered in washington, and putting an end to the dispute over what the world order should be. it will be multi polar. the conflict in ukraine is a pivotal factor for many russians and likely to weigh on the outcome of the elections. it's also impacted the incumbent president stance towards the western powers. our chief marina consecutive has been looking at how vladimir boons attitude towards him has changed throughout his time in charge. a lot of my posts,

in a good time ross is present for the 1st time. it was a breath of fresh air and not only for russians, it was good and for almost thing of the beginning with the west appearance. a welcome rush. as near later i have come to moscow important time. russia, after all, has a new president, a new government under duma. it's economy is showing encouraging signs of growth. this gives russia a pivotal opportunity to build on the strong record of engagement between our 2 countries. it is also an opportunity for the united states. i welcome president clinton's interest in building a russian that enjoys the enduring strength of a stable democracy. they evidently liked what he had been saying, and they were eager to engage for some boots and went on to define. his vision is only the west had listened. instead they went on to prove that they only support those who follow them blindly. yeah, he found the recession of democratic principles in international relations. the

ability to find the correct decision and readiness for compromise on a difficult thing. but then it was a european who was the 1st to understand how important it is to look for consensus over and above national egoism. we agree with that. all these are good ideas. it seem just recently that a truly common home would shortly rise on the continent. home in which the europeans would not be divided into east and west and northern will southern. today we must say one thing for all the cold war is done with we have entered a new stage of development. we understand that without a modern sound and sustainable security architecture, we will never be able to create an atmosphere of trust on the continents. and without that atmosphere of trust, there can be no united, greater europe, pat glenn vladimir, puts in the most optimistic about russians relationship with the wes. we'll see what he had to say about this assessments in hindsight. but for now, let's say in the early 2, thousands, that's when the russian lead or even consider joining forces with nato russia.

russia is part of the european culture. and i cannot imagine my own country and nice solutions of dismissed from europe and what we often call the civilized world . so it is hard for me to visualize janitta as an enemy. i think even posing the question, this way will not do any good to russia or the world. the very question is capable of causing damage to be in that we are open to equitable cooperation to partnership some even joe biden as senator at but the sign was singing his praises saying that no russian leader since peter the great has passed as long as lots with the was as boots and it has well, it was all good as long as rushes leader did it in severe and international affairs . it seems. well, the warsaw pact long dissolves and soviet you are basis close must go, well, seemingly play in a long and was expect them that's partners. so do the same. washington however,

continued to expand. nato, withdrew from the and so ballistic missile, pretty well innovating. i've gotten this done before it moved on to iraq. well, experts say that was the turning point. russell's adamant that these developments require the, let's have a look here. they're required a political settlement and they emphasize that the situation could only be resolved for international cooperation through the security council. and in compliance with the un charter. we stand for resolving the problem exclusively through peaceful means. any other option would be a mistake. it wouldn't be fraud with a grievous consequences. it will result in casualties and the stabilize the international situation in general. well, we all know what happened there. a total and utter disaster. the west continued to ignore a lot of my pollutants. warnings was withdrawn from yet another treaty. this time on nuclear arms reduction. the big picture was looking very suspicious. let's not

forget that one of foods is main issues from the get go. what's for the west to stop expanding nato or a sports bra? so naturally saw it as a threats. but it says it's not as good as shooting at nato expansion does not have any relation with the more than i zation of the alliance itself. or with ensuring security in europe. on the contrary, it represents a serious publication that reduces the level of mutual trust. and we have the right to ask against whom is this expansion intended? and what happened to the assurances are western partners made after the dissolution of the warsaw pact. i would like to quote the speech of nato general secretary, mister warner in brussels on 17th may 1990. he said at the time that the fact that we are ready not to place a nato army outside of german territory gives the soviet union a firm security guarantee. where are these guarantees? as that fell on that for years, once again, because natal continued expanded, have

a look at this map right here. this is what it looked like before nato didn't just swallow up. new members book countries that used to be part of the warsaw pact with the soviet union, and they kept moving closer and closer to russia's board. the spies vladimir boots insane. stop willing, unless you get any of the motion of russia cannot but react to actions that undermine if security further expansion of the military block is a problem for us. so let's move amicably and have a fair dialogue, guys, the way we are treated, we will react the same way. but today i felt that i was hurt by my partners, but they didn't listen well the towards the end, you cray next on the list, the plans it's are in georgia and so in. and so i, russian, state federal work out of supply bought america was on the charge and essentially took it upon itself to make sure that the plan for k of was put into action as we

all saw with the my down to in 2014. well, despite the fact that keeps the military had killed thousands of civilians in the pro russian don't boss for years, lot of it proved to remain calm and collected, urging all sides to negotiate. that a miracle happened with both parties signing the men's agreements. so and all hostilities you have 2 of them pretty seniors, cuz then we probably would generally join what has been said here. today's negotiators have adopted a final joins document the 3 of firms, the risk ability of strict and consistent implementation of the minutes agreements of 12 of february 2015, and stresses the importance of establishing direct dialogue between the parties to the conflict. it was all a scam, just like washington's promise not to expand nato. leave him russell with no other option but to use military force to protect the civilians in former parts of eastern new crane. the west side with launching their interventions all around the

world for decades in the name of suppose a democracy, which never actually comes to countries they invade. but when russia simply stood up to save civilians from campus, the military natal cried file. yes, there was definitely not even i can tell you with absolute sincerity, despite the fact that i worked in the security services for 20 years, i still had an idea that the whole world and the so called, civilized world understands that russia has become a different country that there is no ideological confrontation anymore, and i easily thought that it was the inertia of thinking and actions that was a nice belief. and the realities are that after the collapse of the ussr, it was believed that russia would also collapse. then they wouldn't be able to pick apart the pieces and use our resources. it was only later that this realization came to me when it comes to the most comprehensive coverage of the election. archie is the place to be with a marietta of correspondence experts and analysts waiting to give their take over

the next couple of days. so stay tuned for our special coverage the while the elections have begun smoothly, a representative of this central election committee has said testing voting systems in western russia has been difficult and made, keeps showing of the region. it comes after the mayor of belgrade reaffirm that there are no ukrainian soldiers on russian soil. meanwhile, and thursday, moscow's defense ministry announced that caps troops had attempted to reach areas in belgrade and cursed, but failed, leading to having losses on the ukrainian side. a preemptive actions by russian units have foiled yet another attempt by the ukrainian armed forces to break through into the border territory of the russian federation. near the spider use in that area of the belgrade region. as

a result of russian air strikes and artillery fire up to a 195, you cranium, service men were eliminated. so civilians, a man and woman were killed in the belgrade region of russia following artillery shilling by the forces of the key of regime according to the local authorities. now the man who was killed was driving his car on a very busy street during this barbaric attack. there were dozens sofa other drivers on the road at that time, but they were unscathed. now russian armed forces in the neighboring cursed region, also witnessed and attacked by ukrainian minutes in the local governor said that ukrainians, tablets, or groups attempted to infield trade the russian border there. but were a successful due to the time of the response of the russian military. how the latest you create an attack in belgrade and curse was just one of many in the recent days. according to the russian authorities gave attempted to break through the russian border several times since sunday. at the moments oh,

you create in attempts look futile. while the border is under complete, control, impossible to penetrate on the ground. and now it's a keeps patrons, german officials, and the boom that stock have voted down another resolution which proposed to send tourist missiles to ukraine. now this follows opposition party leaders uniting on the issue of berlin's involvement in the ukraine in conflict, saying that the long range missile deliveries would defacto make germany a party to the conflict. i haven't seen it the whole world outside. the german political bubble knows that ukraine is not in a position to when they score that ukraine has not been waiting for a long time. but tony dying brutally, a lot of the every day and at the delivery of tours messiahs will not change the situation in any way. the only thing they will change is that germany will definitely become a party to the score in the eyes of russia. the question of security is what you are playing with so frivolously and in the worst case,

even with the lives of millions of people in germany to come to your senses before it is too late. people in so beginning the delivery of the tourist must be categorically rejected. olaf schultz is absolutely right to draw a clear red line here. and we urge him to be some. the chancellor is responsible for ensuring that germany does not become a policy of war and supplying the tourist would be a clear involvement in the war. in fact, to put it bluntly, germany is already a party to the war. the delivery of offensive weapons such as the tourist, a weapon system with a range of over 500 kilometers, capable of destroying the kremlin, could be clearly perceived by russia as germany's final declaration for ha. you. meanwhile, on wednesday, all of shots once again rolled out, sending the tourist missiles to you. frame shipping long range missiles secure have has been the subject of heated debates in recent months and berlin, some german parliament members have e and even the u. k. have been applying pressuring for berlin to move forward,

but the german chancellor has been resisting the transfer of these munitions to cab . this comes after the intercepted audio of 4 german defense officials discussing possible targets. these missiles can strike inside of russia, and the ways germany's involvement could be covered up. and also this little i came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets, the bridge in the east and the ammunition depos above the bridge. and the east is hard to reach. it's a rather small target, but the tourist can do it. the ammunition depos can also be hit. we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us top of the conflict. i am exaggerating a bit, but if we tell the minister now that we plan meetings and we'll drive by call from poland, so that no one notices that's already participation and we won't do that. on monday, do you think it is possible to hope that ukraine will be able to do everything on

its own? after all, it is known that there are many people there in civilian clothes who speak with an american accent. we heard from the german peace council chairman who says that germany's continued supply of arms, the cab is a war crime. i see. and this will say they have been discussing in the bonus tag, whether there is already a war capability and whether they have already become a part of the war is the german side or not. but germany is already a war in policy. and just from my point of view, if even the officers say that the war cannot be won by ukraine, but we still continue to supply weapons there or support the people who are slaughtering the children, the and the russian children to. and that's a war crime in itself, but above all, it is also a question of the arms industry. i think this is also about millions and billions of money. i can only hope and trust in the prudence and wisdom of the russian government to give us the civilian population of germany, the time to build up the appropriate political pressure here to so that such weapon exchange opportunities are not continued. and that we may finally bring about

a policy change in general that will ultimately lead to meeting russia, security needs and ending the war. a judge and kenya says a massive lawsuit against american food conglomerate delmonte can still go ahead. that's after the defense tried to say the case was out of the east african countries jurisdiction. delmonte is facing numerous accusations of assault, rape, and murder, allegedly committed by guards audits, farming locations in kenya. the company is also accused of attempting to ride witnesses. kenny's high court is currently considering the lawsuit brought by a legend, victims with the support of multiple and jose delmonte has dismissed the charges and says there is no evidence. a representative of the company denounced the legal action as a disinformation campaign. however, earlier this month,

the company apparently fired $250.00 guards from canyon farming locations and replace them with stuff from a global security company. so multi reportedly said the new personnel had undergone training to use minimal physical force at its facilities. here's how the victims have spoken about their experience of allegedly being beaten by former guards. who am i and doing my god. i was bitten by the gentleman guards with the room on my head and they left me dying. actually they thought i had already died and that's one to drag me to a forest nearby, where i spend the whole night while to go home and conscious and informed my family members who took me to the hospital at belmont, where being seriously beaten by the guard summer killed and others when they are called disappear completely in your mind. i think the defeats we used to get grass for our livestock set, the delmonte site, one day these guards sauce and chased us, and unfortunately their dog caught me. the guards thoroughly beaten me. they left me and conscious and dragged me deep inside the pineapple field. later in the

evening that carried me outside the plantation and left me to die at the roadside. and by that time i was seriously bleeding. i spent the whole night bleeding beside the road and early in the morning, a man carried me to the hospital. these guards beat us. they chased us with dogs, and some people have died while in the hands of these guards. we also spoke with human rights defender genes. milan gave chairman of the african center for corrective and preventative action. he says that canyons are outraged with the apparent impunity of delmonte, similar western companies and demands that justice be upheld. a dan lloyd city and really actually leading to the most annoyed by the fact that the company has feet and in court. does it count before the gnostic? they cannot be sleeping. we asking questions. what are you bringing up? was enough for you to a setting up the offices in kim kim, monday's line. you can go in front,

clean up with it. so there's no reason as to why we go to independent of the people that are taking this rubbish. we cannot allow anyone to put, but it's no can see with infinity if you open it you can can, you just can find, you know, so the, the pretty much a wireless we have bush and bush and bush and did we get a solution? we uh, force us the difference between those alternation those community and government where the room rush you from say, you know what, i'm from america. we want the respect of african. so this traditional actually we have moved to get some solution to create a sustainable relationship. but so that this with national oh, that's a great thing to get any stuff at the end of the for go. i understand that every guy is leaking out of the guys. so the, the, the spit this and respect. but the kind of this one she is already, but i should be good at all, but that's her up for this hour. but for 247 coverage of everything going on in the world. head over to r t dot com. thanks for tuning in was.
