melinda, i would argue these elections are the most important elections globally in 2023 and the stakes couldn't be higher as sundays. both will determine how turkey will be governed in the future. will there be a return to parliamentary democracy or can add one, extend his rule into a decade under an almost powerful presidency. the vote will also determine with the country's economy is headed. will there be more market friendly approaches or can add one, continue his very controversial and orthodox economic policies. and then of course of foreign policy. the opposition was 2 and years of strange relations with key west and partners, the u. s. b u. nato. and we're talking about talk you right, it's you strategic powerhouse and natal member. so the opposition of the government, they are offering very different visions for the future of turkey. and voters have to make a tough decision here. and we want to take a look at exactly that. let's take a look at the dual between the 2 candidates who could scarcely be more different presidents. the other one has been in power for 20 years. the sau

i spoke to melinda haring, in washington, who is the nonresident fellow at the atlantic council's eurasiaed whether this is an embarassing moment for president putin. look, the ukrainians have flat—out denied it, both zelensky and his spokespeople have denied it, and they say it doesn't make any sense. a lot of people are saying that it looks like it's a false—flag operation — we don't know, though. the leading theory right now is that the kremlin may have been involved in order to justify some hits on ukraine. but we simply don't know at this point, the us government doesn't know either who's responsible. i mean, wejust heard from steve rosenberg in his piece that russia is saying that ukraine is responsible for an explosion at a fuel depot. also, there was a derailment and strike on two trains very close to the border. is ukraine possible of doing something like this? monica, a lot of the activity that we're seeing are probably shaping activities — ukraine is getting ready to launch a counteroffensive. we don't know when they're going to do it, they haven't shared intelligence with anyo

both knew it was one way of a huge chief course blowing over them with zada melinda belonged to them unless the chief port on and you do choose. so i'm in the field, the d seems to hold a huge, missed on what kind of dog gives me. interesting one of my dogs to what to do. she's not so the people from what doesn't receive school. so that's the assess the year, the to each from york optima. so the credit school, not all the channels, the credit score, we did the summer say you come with the people that will accept the adult will show boys. if you pick one up there, a more suited you say you can look the list but enough truth the, but a lot the up on the some you flip the what a bunch of sweet was the book you. and again, this has been going on for a while while while it say plus should the vehicle in additional credits was on it . one of the specialists we ordered is, are 2 additional horizontal move to the, to put you have to go on next you cream, which with the knots at the middle to cool, just what are you with them? so let me put you on the do you, are you crazy? so hold on went do

and melinda, is this done right here? every sunday, i'm preach to crowds of hundreds of people who gathered here. thousands more watched on his television station. and on youtube is increasingly radical. preaching through criticism from some but in a context where the government is widely seem to work only for the benefits of a wealthy few and is criticized for a week provision of public health care and education. his messages of rejecting the states and the entity resonated with many others to get hundreds of them from kenya and beyond, followed him through the forest over the last 4. yes. the search for the forties and survivors has been going on some more than a month. investigators have said they may have been organ harvesting or party brought here from other places. the police operation has since become heavily restricted. therefore let's get the most important x to 15 bodies today. nobody's authorized to talk to is that except the regional chief who announces the numbers off to each day of digging rights groups who

is there a, he's a physical and this is why so joining us from garza, let's go live now to melinda shaw, he's out there a senior political analyst and joins us now via skype from hire a small and good to have you with us. so it was really quite something that we saw at the top of the when you know was live, the barrels of rockets from gauze, the tools, southern israel coming from all parts of the strip covering the skies of gauze it is that something that you've ever seen before and your time covering this region, and i think what's interesting is a, was very much your question to her. i do a follow up question about what was the oldest environment. in fact, $41.00 plays, uh, bombarded, found the guys that us 48 hours instead, as i say, all these records are being launched against the various parts of these are. so that's the biggest question. what's the point of all these attacks of bias or why to vote are moving more certainly him us, which was not targeted the last 48 hours and was not targeted the last, you know, so, but it was us actually the final section of how that was targeted

i spoke to melinda haring, a non resident seniorfellow at the american think tank the atlantic council's parade. it was small, sombre, short and solemn. it was not much of a parade at all. it was less than an hour, and as you noted, there was only one soviet tank. there were far fewer soldiers than in the past — 11,000 to 8,000 this year. there are far fewer vehicles as well. there were 131 last year and about 50 this year, so it really shows how degraded the russian military has become. and that's a big problem for putin. this is the biggest day on his calendar and his legitimacy rests as the heir who inherited the army that defeated the nazis, so it is not a good look at all for vladimir putin today. and what do you think about the words that he said, his framing, which we've heard from him before, that effectively it's a continuation of the fight against the nazis, his war in ukraine? does that message resonate with people across russia? so the message has resonated in the past and i'm not surprised by the message. he blamed the west. he said the west was responsible for the war in uk

and melinda was affairs nicholas. i'm sure if i should see the whole still head hey on. i'm gonna see a newman in cape horn and coming up. i'll explain why science is coming here to learn more about how to save our planet from climate change. and real in detroit and 72, junior, spain is totally non problems. 2 races of defense target him with a piece of chance. the the now the 1st type fit in the season, properly named, tie for you. it's just on the actual screens as heading tools. guam, hey, everybody else. it's still brand new season, but it's move north. was that good part of javan. c. monitors not as much as it was for concentrations in the still hall to area vietnam in the south flooding. potential here. so the 6 in bangkok with those thunderstorms to the noise has been around the low fourties in this population. again for the last couple of days is well above where it should be. so it's heat wave and then sort of you like in contrast to a very quiet picture over australia, the still clock, i mean the bunch of course and this did a breeze blowing through the bass st

so they, as i'm technically the reasons i really do, is that the melinda, for us to thank you very much for having me here on the show. thank you. but i would like to say something on both cartridges. is that about this red lines you attempted to that? what all the red lines are they're referring to a circle back from systems or are referring to a strategic effects? i think the last one is right and strategic effects a bit when you come to a certain reference systems might change in the cause of what the, what the biden was concerned about. and by the way, it was a child specialist or present in my car was or was an effective, could escalate the wall and could drag nature into the wall. that means the red line was all it was on long range systems that could have an impact on russian. so on truly a russian sort a and one might of course say in the long run they will try union, they, a air force needs to be replies to have a stuff with a lot of losses. and on the long run. and i underlined the long run, they really need to new aircraft, and none of that come to the technical expressions.
