the next i'm putting notes up under that the correlation led by the b j. p potty retains its majority in india is parliamentary election or the contract is fox. so so then the predicted for the more the lead group or the major fees of lions currently has about $290.00 seats. father opposition stands at about $230.00. this was a deliberate action by the us government to prevent the from traveling to russia. for my us intelligence office as coverage i is remaining from a flight in new york by us authorities without any explanation, as he was in route to russia on the macro. and do you want to go to wal, then put on your helmet and put on your best and go to crane,

but don't bother your tale. and with going to the table is deputy problem minutes, the pause cole, whatever, on the french president, war mongering rhetoric about putting native boots on the ground in ukraine. the why does is our team to national reaching you live from a new center with moscow? i a michael port show with the updates now with decisive data for india had its population of nearly 1500000000 people. alas, the result of the world's largest election not being announced. there wouldn't be, dear parties, coalition has received a pilot mentioned majority though getting the less votes that in 2019 that were bringing you all the updates and all special coverage as this historic event unfolds. the

rather do it parties be just peas alliance has maintained its majority taking more than $290.00 votes in parliament and the opposition indian national congress gathered about $232.00 of the seats. the party or coalition needs about 272 votes to cross the majority mark in the 573 uh member loc sapa. that's the name of the lower house of parliament india. now voter turnout this year was 66.3 percent. now let's cross live to new delhi, had joined artes rouge's sama who is currently outside the parliament buildings rhonda. it's been a busy day as it is. but as it is now, bring us up to speed with what we know about the election so far. and

what we know with the sell a tendency is that the highest is gonna allow bossy labs, but nobody can do more b. they have a much as the single largest, spotty in looks about. also the in the alliance, which essentially is b g, p loss allies. they have now cross the 272 mark, which is the magic number essentially needed to form of governments. but this game has really been interesting because ever since the election started in india, even before the election is all decided in india, there was this big debility that's not even more d and his political bossy are going to, we know land slide routine that, that is a we will thoughts for the more the we've in india, and that hasn't happened and due to which now as we speak just divine a global markets, the stock market in india has closed and it has like never before. in fact,

it's been the wars in for us now. so the deacons. the numbers and the counting for today. joining me is a very special guest for knock. runjun tough for worthy is a foremost experts we often minutes feel of external affairs. my class last question, in fact to you but not is, then a landslide victory is watch was and disappeared even before the election started even after the election started. there was this talk about, you know, the exit for c. that means more the on his political bossy and his allies are going to cross the 300 mark for sure. comes with the believe that hasn't happened. why do you think? i think it's always very difficult to predict elections of india. i mean exit posit said so i do a very value into fortune trying to do so. but actually it's the most ultimately that please call me what comes out of that pretty much em. let's see. so, so the seeing another, you know, dance of democracy here in the in depth, which is,

which is how is democracy functioning, said chemically. the boat to see is the, is the king in this, in that sense that he or she really decides that decision, the cutting numbers, that big indicates that they have decided that to maybe give indeed a majority maybe be able to have a majority, but also support the opposition to an extent that the opposition becomes more thoughtful and that is how i read it. and that's the idea of democracy as well. what i also want to understand from you that this is an election which was closely watched, not just within india all, but also outside the world was watching the selections. how do you think the numbers are going to know? well i think we just have to wait and see because as you said, that to be have

a majority, b, n d. so it is logical that the baby in palm, the next governments, unless some something that you drastic kathlyn seventies airlines rick soft or something which i don't think. and so i think we can look forward to another in diego. bought the how the into another mechanics very well called after all the allies are now been feeling more powerful because and then board. and so the, as we see how did divide up the cabinets, positions, etc, who'd be the next thing to watch. now when you look at the numbers, very interesting, because last time in 2019, it essentially was that hard fusions of policy on its own. it's called the $300.00 . now with the india lines, a got a little over $350.00. this time the has the john as i bought the ship, seeing that a piece in the beginning of the election is that they are going to get all 400.

what do you think that perhaps that file and i think it was a bit of flooded taught, it can slogan, but one source also you could say that was the vision that we would like to get so much no harm in that to have a vision on the truck, but obviously it hasn't worked but for that those reasons are uh, we'd probably come out and all the analysis takes place and the final decided, so i've actually loved it. so i think the human election, you have those sort of kind of slogans, etc. which indicate that you are probably trying to do in a world that goes something bad. but sometimes you don't get there. now, you know, you just said that the possibility of alliances brake issue is on what's new. what's can that also be who dogs up enough to read the because even 3 or 4 in the lines is and now you know, i can certainly tell you that, that

a mama is doing the wrong. well, how do you, how do you want that always happens, then that alliances know competing for power. and because the airline system sometimes breaks down, but then the 3rd line, so on the india side is fairly small. and i don't see the line searching off because i know that audio mugs and all these things we floated about. but i doubt if we really have that kind of a system that the airlines also there has been this deception about the constitution change. do you think now since means and what the government if it comes to follow it and it looks like that it will do you know, because it has to dip into i lies some future course of action. for example, the uniform civil board, which film has the engine about faulty, led by the name, the more the, the from the for the company, which they wanted to improve and do think it would be difficult for them to go

ahead. that might be because then they will have to take the slides. we do this, will there be more push back or because they'll have to also planned for the next election. so i think those kind of teams, we then via the team maybe but they are committed to that in that sense. so i think uh they may be a move, but then uh the, the, the uniform and say, report and subtract whether 3 be pushed in the manner that they would have in case see it hasn't. nobody's been kind of victory that may be involved or something on towards the now, when we look at the members, you're saying that there could be an impact on the domestic politics or to say what, what about the following policy of the country do things. now, if the market is off on the doesn't come in majority on its own, do you think it may have an impact on the form policy? but on this, what we've been discussing is,

was domestic high. the beauty of him getting funding policies that he does not change just because human for them policy is formulated on the basis of national interest and the best selling interest does not change the payments borderless constant. so hence abroad. so the trend dominion part of the policy right from the beginning is fed and will be that there will be a little tweaking. and one thing of certain, certain aspects of foreign policy. but i don't think it'd be any drastic changes in indian funding for this. west has been very critical of the indian elections from the very beginning. it's e, as they've been looking at the election, some very cortical and sort of steep. do you think they're watching the number's going to be and how do you think it must be the be watching? because for the soul, many common trees from best to media on that everything is going wrong within the

search, right? these are all narratives, leads to influence, but then the rest and media, how many people read the rest, the media? and the so i doubt if that really a fix. the next, the local issues effect, the next meeting in the election spot and policies of every play, dental. it is very, very small, maybe neighborhood and or not. more than that, nobody in india, in the village would go and say, i'm voting for such and such. first, because i love his part in policy that, that's gonna happen. what do you think the selections also was for then on that and bought the issue? it's increasingly domestic domestic. i would say, leave it that domestic issue. data bases locally, choose candidates. how the candidates up, let's see. these are what, what would you say of the vehicle out to the fasted on the, the,

by the general pop off the, under the movie in the last decade, also india one significantly on the global stage. it has now been received by some of these as the voice of the global solves and so on, so forth. you perception on india, on the global map, that data factor when people, when i said i was trying to say that the global aspects of foreign policy and other things do not really affect the indian voltage to that extent as compared to say local issues. brandon, but of course, any of them have seen this the more the in the global stage and to have a sub lease. uh, you know, like to, to, to my, the, but as i said, when i go to press the button, i'm thinking of my local and other issues. what does this candidate do for me or that candidate or this party? what have they done for me? those are the issues that decide, i don't know the story emerging to these saddles the off position,

the back door didn't do now position not as was being called tank, that joint lives. and there's one of the good fun this. everybody on that has to be there the, the coalition that the position released formed against on the more i think that's not to them who has to be skeptical about the kind of opposition, the alliance, the in the alliance that was form, whether to work or not and all the annoying, you know, because because very difficult to assume because the call as soon as you mean, yeah. have been generally texas in the thumbs up and no, not agreeing with each other. but if they have managed to get these numbers, things are just so can you look at how well, how do you see the story being out in some states and that can be hoffman, but i'm specifically talking about will start for these for example, also my gosh, software so i can extend for the budget for this shows that be the be zippy has

come down. so it means it has words or lines as well. so i would say the same thing about a lot of stuff or something, or either see or in january when or even what do you know agreed to the rom temple? you know, you'll be all, there was a lot of thoughts talk about moving to more the console of dc. he knew what's under this in the 12 ideology. you think that hasn't worked for feature and it's difficult to see whether that has worked and clearly it has not worked 100 percent that otherwise the board the board share the website and it cetera would have been different. so i will dare to say that that has consolidated to some extent to not to the extent of 100 homes. johan, how do you see the next 5 years will we see me is what change this was given. so you see a continuation of the reforms. we cannot make some other issues of fraud that you cannot make the data that is coming all just says shows that india has grown in the

last quarter that a point 5 percent. so if that happens, what do you test people commit to the message most with that loose and when 1st teams, etc, i really have to be energized. so i think that is going to help. all right, thank you very much. show up and knocks us away before breaking that down for us. so school, so it will be interesting to wait and was how another couple of osbee out. essentially, what we can see from the numbers right now is that towards the end of the be the alliance, which is a, b, b lines indeed are lines that will in fact be able to form a government. but of course, these are indian elections. they're all alliances also at phase y'all. so we on order to make any predictions super dangerous to do that for now, we're going to, we're going to boston back to you and this to you. all right, thank you very much region for bringing us up to speed. we understand how the game

of numbers is playing out in india. how was that? can we keep a tap on that? thank you very much right now. how to correspond into, into some of that, and that will bring to all the news. so mindy is election throughout the day with updates every single on here on our team to national the now for my, you as an intelligence officer and all the website contribute this cartridge has been removed from a flight in new york by us authorities, as he was en route to russia, read that was heading to a spend bowl and then on to st. petersburg to attend an economic farm. he's often critical of dividing the ministration and nato's role of the ukraine conflict. read, i spoke to our, to you about what exactly happened in the airport. that was

a boring the flight church airlines flight to assemble the connected in the stumble, to a flight to st. petersburg, where i was scheduled to participate in the saint petersburg international economic form. and as i was about to board the aircraft, i was pulled out of the line by 3 armed in uniform members of the customs and border patrol. who asked to see who else to see my passport, but they confirmed that i was the individual in the passport. and then they notified me that they were seizing my passport on orders from the a nice state state department. i asked them what was their justification. they said they had no further information. they didn't give me a receipt for the passport. they didn't have any other information and then they uh, remove my bags from the flight and then escorted me out of the security of the

airport and told me i was free to leave scott me to is a full, a us marine corps intelligence officer and un weapons inspector, for iraq. he has been a critique called a rock war and us foreign policy of the mid least. he often writes about international security issues, mandatory, a fast arms controlled and non proliferation. he said the us so far we just did not say why that was seizing his passport and removing him from the flight rushes foreign ministry spoke to one bar as a carl. that was quick to question why? by the us state department or the american police officers removed from the slide called new scar 3 to who was head into the st. petersburg for them. is this done in accordance with the 1st amendment of the us constitution? well, the 4th you are to reached out to us officials for more information about why scott read this passport was seized on the state department,

declined to give any details say you would not comment about the passport status of a project american citizen scott and wrote again says he was prevented by the us from travelling to russia because american authorities want to silence people who speak out against the in siri, i'm an american citizen, protected by my 1st amendment right of free speech in the us government has no legal authority, moral authority, or any authority to impede any aspect of my exercise of this right? if indeed this is what's happened in the us government is operating violation of its own constitution. so this was a deliberate action by the us government to prevent me from traveling to rush or to participate in the saint petersburg international economic form and to participate in what was expected to be a 40 day, a tour of russia as to the content of this i would hope people would take pause and say, why does the us government want to silence? scott ritter?

why does they, why do they want to prevent him from coming to russia? and i think a, you know, a logical person would say, because we're afraid of what he said and why would they fear what he's saying, unless they're afraid of the message. and what is it about the message that makes them afraid? because if truth is on their side, they should fear no lie. and the answer is, truth isn't on their side lies are on their side. i've been speaking the truth and that's why they're afraid. patients and vision of leadership and that's house proctor it describes, rushes in advance is on the front lines and it's ongoing military operation in the crate. he believes that rushes victories drawing nearer, right? we have the now let's see the full on our website r t dot com, the put on your boots and go and find yourself. that's the message being sent to the french president from

easily is definitely the problem minister. who's been, i'm good, had the war mongering, rectory coming from the monument form a yo don't bother your dave. i don't want the children of already all the children of easily to be sent to die and fights in ukraine. oh, i don't want to tell even weapons to palm and kill and rush up easily as not at war against any one. okay. therefore, let's leave it to macro on to talk about. but i'm telling him as if he were here, it's a nightmare macro. and are you want to go to walk and put on your helmet and put on your best and go to ukraine, put down for the telly and we're going to wait. but let's discuss this with auntie curse button has room on closer rep, daunting me right here in this to your real money is due to have you join me right now. what's on your boots and go to war. that is what the deputy 5 minutes so easily starting in mind them off off course. we know that he will be heating, not cold. but as we've had to switch the alarm full piece, it's all made. but the 2 warring parties are not present,

especially when we talk about russia, russia, it won't be a big event. what do we expect from that? well, uh, mr. saline, the sound of the prime minister is not alone in calling people to come to their senses and talk about peace and not so war mongering. of course, the people across the world are now saying that, so this piece summit in switzerland is basically absolutely feud file without rush . it will not bring any types of results, but the zalinski or the ukraine. he's calling on the entire world to come and join them for the sole goals at peace conference. however, basically the main blow was delivered to him when american presidents jo by the said that she will not be coming because of those 2 days. the conference is supposed to be held on the 15th at 6 to biden, is not doing that. so you've got something else to do. if you've got to know something was going in place of it, i'll tell in the moment bullet joe biden,

she up to, to go to hollywood to fundraiser because she is confused as to be re elected in november. so he needs to collect money in hollywood instead of going to ukraine and given away money. that's and that's probably and but, but yes, us present. so that will be present in the, in switzerland. and the campbell of harris is actually going there by half of the highways camel and harry, i'm on the highways who wants but you tre, any spots open that too? and then that was a time he couldn't even pronounce the name of the landscape. yes. so you're talking about her when she, when she pronounced proclaimed the train was a part of me. so that was back in 2022 and it just started on the special military operation and campbell, a harris went out and said that he has the credit is a part of may. so and that sense of the staff of the white house scrambling to edit the transcripts of that size of the image. and he was, there was that may have there. but so of course,

the question with the camel or harris heard going switzerland is whether she will be able to deliver a clear message or, you know, will they have to be scrambled once in? because her critics, a conservative critic, critics in the united states are saying that sometimes she talks to people is if she is a, as well it presents or well, the children's program. and this is what they're talking about. so ukraine is a country in europe. it exist next to another country called russia. russia is a bigger country, russia is a powerful country. russia decided to invade a smaller country called ukraine. so basically that's wrong. so i will say what i know, we all say, and i will say over and over again. the united states stands firmly with the ukranian people in defense of the nato alliance. well, there you have is campbell harris. well, apart from the united states,

which is the obviously the biggest supporter of the lensky. at the moment. innovation was extended, so at least a 160 different to delegations. and of course, the top brass from many of the countries have decided not to go including the united states, brazil, reportedly india and purchased on as well. a fairly are sending administer, but he's administered for disability insurance. so definitely not the top brass at all in terms of ukraine's and neighbors and former soviet republics of the commonwealth of independence. the states, as they're called the now some of them. well, apparently there were at sam's by the lensky and he's the so called the partners and friends to get them to come to switzerland, to this events. but as we understand, as we've been told by russian foreign ministry, it didn't work out. take a lesson zelinski and his western friends begin to personally call in big the

leaders of the commonwealth of independent states to take part in this gathering. we know that none of them to come to such persuasion as it is right now to find out has made it clear that v wouldn't be attending the summit. right. and we see that zaleski is not taking that light. be a totally saying it's a mistake. well, china has set a time and again, this is not the only time we're going to hear about it right now. the set time and again that the summit without russia is absolutely pointless. and that issue yet another statements and this is what it says. telephone fence, which sounds kind of has repeatedly emphasized that the international peace conference needs to contain 3 important elements. the recognition from all sides, including the russian to train the quote participation of all parties and fed discussion of all peace plans. as far as china is concerned, this meeting doesn't yet seem to have all those free elements. this is exactly why

china will not be able to attend to send. well, her zalinski has issued another statement, so they're accusing china or 5 supporting russia and actually also accusing them all for storing up support to somehow disrupt the upcoming conference in the switzerland. and of course, that isn't so well. what is surprising is, as this conference is coming on, now, the west, the united states and the west oregon support of ukraine, telling ukraine to strike russia. now, the issue of the world war 3 is being mute of feeling that. but how do you talk about peace when you're talking about what a more weapons and boards support for your trade? well, uh, thankfully for russia and for ukraine or for everybody involved, the not every single voice is in the west is for war mongering or for continuing

the conflict. so thankfully we are hearing a lot sound voices that are saying, you know, please stop and haven't have a dialogue, enough of civilian deaths, even joe. but joe, by then he was accused by some members of the congress that sees that both the way they put it into sleep walking into disaster if you will. and of course, the congress is a warning of this unprecedented escalation in mind. and that could lead to world war 3, or even worse to, well, the nuclear catastrophe, which should, which could happen? well, the united states, they said that they have approved precision, but limited strikes against the russian military. and so that's limited mostly to heart of region by the same time they're say, this is going to lead to an escalation. of course, russian foreign ministry are not buying that at all. this evidence, and i would like to warn the american officials against miscalculations that could

have fatal consequences for unknown reasons. they underestimate the seriousness of the resistance they may receive responses may be symmetrical. and of course, like i said earlier, we are hearing voices of reason from all over the world. so we just talked about the activity of 5 minutes or eventually he, we've heard about the log in officials. we heard about hungary as well by the way hungry, also very adamant about in what they're saying, saying that's the whole conference in switzerland will only makes sense in terms of the ultimate goal of the ultimate goal is what if pursuit of b. c. and that's important to gary and so hopefully they'll come. so that's a, that's the thing. but the other question, a lot of people asking around the world is switzerland. how do you able to agree to host a one sided piece um its best? nothing wrong in the hosting a piece, somebody,

but how do you host it will be summit, where the 2 parties are not invited to the table. but i believe it here though and see how he goes. actually that's, that's all leading up to the ultimatum that says it wants to present in russia, which is unacceptable at all, but we'll see what happens. all right, thank you very much. well, my concern for bringing us up to speed on this. thank you. right. all right, well bring you, we'll come back, had to bring you up more updates and stories of the top of the ad go anyway. this is our team to national the take a for.
