corruption did increase because the previous president carried out a purge in 2014 volodymyr the lenski is promising to do the same thing. yeah it's an interesting situation when the revolutionaries purge they are pretty censors presidency lenski said he wants to do with this with these people who rule ukraine from 2014 till 2019 the same because they were inefficient corrupt and they failed well the west is saying that it's not a good idea even though they were put a blind eye on what was happening 565 of the 4 years ago now i hope it is just the threat we will find solution within the rule of rule of law approaches it's like you threat for corruption corrupt people that they will be called to court and we know that the president is young he doesn't have a lot of political experience and there's a lot of new young m.p.'s in the new government so does the people want experience though to support these young politicians carry out all of these very big tasks in ukraine. it's a serious trap for ukraine ukrainians in the majority they do not trust in old politicians and those new are coming

but 1st in ukraine a lot of mayors lenski servant of the people party looks set to become the master of the poll the new party of the comedian turned president is on course for a resoundingly train sunday's parliamentary elections early counting shows him well ahead of rival parties but possibly short of a complete majority he may need a coalition partner than to open push through promised reforms. the former comedian who attended ukrainian politics once before by becoming the country's president is set to do it again exit polls put flood mr lensky 7th of the people party on course to win the biggest share of the votes in ukraine's not parliamentary election was why they're. speaking off the exit polls were released selenski outlined the goals he hopes a convincing win would bring more easily within reach. of pretty theatre was about them and us. well our main priorities are small and i repeat it is for everyone craning and greens. to end the war me return our prisoners home and defeat the corruption that persists in ukraine. you've got to. let your guard dorsey's those types of agre

power as it was packed with his opponents and it appears to have paid off according to exit polls lenski 7 of the people party is expected to get 43.9 percent of the vote in a distant 2nd place at 11 and a half percent. is opposition platform for life which is co headed by only got victim had that check a close ally of the russian president vladimir putin only 3 of the parties exceeded that 5 percent percent threshold in order to win seats the party headed by former president petro poroshenko and his european solidarity party is projected to take just 8 point one percent the fatherland party headed by the former prime minister yulia timoshenko is on 7.6 percent and the voice party fronted by roxanne musician it's fair to say that actually is seen as a possible coalition allies as lenski as expected to get 6.3 percent well earlier i spoke to alexey heron who is professor of comparative politics a care of lawyer academy he says that the priority now will be for as a lansky to get his reforms approved and he promised a lot of reforms but we should know there's a lot of promises we are quite

seems to predict oil tanker there on friday and a big win for ukraine's president a lot of fears a lenski party claims an outright majority after sunday's parliamentary elections can it now deliver on a promise reforms and bring peace to eastern ukraine. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program we begin in syria where dozens of civilians have been killed in airstrikes carried out by government bombers and their russian allies on the rebel held town of marjah numan 2 strikes destroyed a crowded market and killed at least 32 people it marks a sharp escalation in the violence in the country's ongoing civil war since late april syrian government forces backed by russia have been fighting to dislodge the rebels from every province which is one of their strongholds in the country. in a town turned to rubble a life is spare. take it off and pick up my hand this footage from the syria civil defense also known as the white helmets purports to show the moment rescuers pulled a young girl alive from the debris. but dozens of others could not be saved. we were woken by the sound of the russian occupiers

are just some of the people now set to enter ukraine's new parliament on behalf of all of them as a lenski servant of the people party not only selenski ukraine's 1st president to enjoy an absolute majority in parliament but he's also bringing a whole new generation of political newbies to power in the process kicking out much of the political old guard none of selenski new m.p.'s have ever sat in parliament before this is a huge opportunity for selenski to reshape the crane and carry out much needed reforms but it also carries a political risk with all the power concentrated in his hands they can be no excuses and no blaming a hostile position should reforms fail the buck very differently stops with zelinsky. that was nick connelly reporting from kiev prosecutors in the united states say soccer star cristiana rinaldo will not face criminal charges in a case of alleged rape or now though had been accused of sexually assaulting an american woman catherine mayorga in a las vegas hotel room back in 2009 he's always denied the allegations prosecutors said the sexual assault claims could not be

musician whose party voice is on about 6 percent so really this is the story of the lenski and all the rest if he gets the majority have the mandate to do what he's promised but the rage of expectations nick will be heavy and his team does not have much political experience how do you see this shaping up . well they definitely have a good for pulling off people's this is a man who let's remember just 6 months ago so was the t.v. entertain and he announced he was running for president on new year's eve so they would have shown their ability to do well against the olds in terms of their experience yes these are people who are new to politics that's part of the reason why ukrainians approached them because they wanted new faces but they are bringing in technocrats people who maybe wouldn't challenge politically have proven expertise in economics in other fields of policy to really get that credibility but this is a huge risk because you know given that he now will control the parliament on top of the presidency the buck stops with him if reforms fail it is his fault and he called point th

on foreign relations focusing on ukraine good morning just off thanks so much for being with us as lenski wants to up and ukraine's political system he's a former comedian but his party is composed of novices like himself you know how likely is is real change ahead for ukraine well it's going to be enormously tough the 1st hurdle is getting a government together. will probably fall shoulder of a majority so we have found the parliament is sort of takes a seat now the other half still counts of assisting the seat ticket but you would need another 100 wins out before her little ones might get the majority if he makes a coalition he has basically sort of the poisonous a set of the. opposition plus form which would lead to street protests whatever and they actually don't have an agenda with together and then he has 2 parties. very much confronted during the election campaign which is. publishing his party's respect if he's for the party of the previous government he wants to distance himself from the reform. party around rock star has about 6 percent so they probably won't tip the balance so

on experience and it will be a serious test definitely it will not be in easy work for presidency lenski and for his majority or for his call the song. all of the country was able to take part in these snap elections because i still remain under russian control and influence. will be one of the 1st issues and he will have to resolve now that his party has a formidable presence in parliament homicidal algis either. some news from syria where as strikes have killed at least 15 people in a blip province this video shows the moments shortly after the attack took place a syrian civil defense worker was among those killed it is the last major stronghold in syria government troops backed by russia have been bombarding the area for more than 2 months the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for a suicide bomber that killed at least 8 people at a hospital in northwest pakistan it tack happened in the city of there is a constant off the gunman opened fire on a police checkpoint nearby killing 2 offices that bodies were being taken to the hospital when the suicide bomber struck the blast da

exit polls show the party of ukraine's new president saddam is a lenski has won a snap parliamentary election. former comedian called the vote off his landslide victory in april as parliament was packed with his opponents he wanted to secure great a mandate to push through promised reforms and it appears to have paid off because according to exit polls selenski servant of the people party is expected to get 43.9 percent. but it could fall short of a majority then in a distant 2nd is what is the opposition platform for life party that's with 11 and a half percent its code headed by oligarchy victor made venture a close ally of russian president vladimir putin only 3 all the parties passed that 5 percent threshold needed to win seats at the party headed by former president petro poroshenko and his european solidarity party is projected to take 8.9 percent the fatherland policy led by former prime minister yulia timoshenko is on at 7.6 percent and the voice party of rock star love to choke is expected to take 6.3 percent so lets key has already invited him for coalition talks lenski als

ukraine's new government is currently taking place nick open invitation extended there by president lenski is that an olive branch how serious should we take this. well that was quite something wasn't it do we need a lens is that an olive branch how serious should we take this. that was quite something wasn't it do we need to talk yes we do i think if you look beyond that headline and he certainly has a talent for the political sound but it is a lot less. extraordinary than it might seem this isn't about $1.00 to $1.00 talks he still wants western leaders to be there including president trump and he's also not giving up on all the peace processes that have been underway for the last few years that he's for him is really about talking to his home audience to his voters who are parliamentary election here in a couple weeks time reminding them telling them that he is willing to do everything it takes to reach peace even if that means including throwing out all the stuffy diplomatic protocol but definitely this part of the world on the internet. that sound bites do we need to talk yes we do th

it's an optimistic tone here at this lenski election policy but i would say the champagne is on ice because the 1st exit polls coming out suggesting that. selenski spotty 70 people is on around 44 percent so missing that all rights all out to majority which they had been working towards i think it's an indication of the kind of high flying ambition of this team that they you know not getting an outright majority it seems like a little bit of a disappointment even though this is more a strong parliamentary base than any of the ukrainian president that before him so he will have to look for coalition options and one of those people looks to be another showbiz import politics that's love ukraine's most famous singer who if these 1st exit polls it's believed has passed 5 percent and could just about if all works out give selenski those votes to get a 50 percent so what is the supporters anticipating right now they feel that essentially those numbers are going to change and they're going to have to look for a partner to build a government with. i think that's if in the mood here obviously this i
