not so good for united russia. the telegram channels giving its initial thought out to initial vote count, i should say, around 38 percent drawn up to 40 percent. those things are going better. what's the feeling that this victory will things are shaping up for united russia and everyone here seems to be in high spirits. you may not see right now in the party is over, but just minutes ago people were passing a drink and champagne, celebrating with everyone here, cold, a clear, big treat. united. russia indeed is coming out on top. however, it doesn't look like an overwhelming a landslide victory as it was during the last 2. and we're looking at the preliminary results here that show united russia with a little bit over 44 percent of the votes. and this is a 10 percent decrease from the last part of the ministry election in 2016. now, of course, not all the ballots have been counted yet, and the numbers may change. also, united russia is leading in many constituency elections across the country, which will help the

united russia is the ruling parties. the largest policy in the country is germany, is the form of prime minister on form, the president dmitri mit votive party self support. the program of the current president among his goals is strengthening russian sovereignty. its economic agenda include support for domestic industry and it has an emphasis on the high tech sectors, as he's corresponding constantly, ross cough brings us more from united rushes headquarters. everyone here seems to be in high spirits and you're going to see the stage over my shoulder. we're one of the party leaders hasn't just congratulated the audience with a quote unquote clear victory. however, at this point, it doesn't look like beat, overwhelming victory as it was during the last election. we're looking at the preliminary result here that show united russia with a 38.5 percent of the vote. another exit poll suggests it's close to 45 percent, but anyway, it's a decrease. as of now it's a decrease from the last parliament re election in 2016 when the

we definitely _ is not united russia? we definitely see, _ is not united russia? ee, based on the results you cited yourself, that the resentment and frustration with the current status quo in russia is very high and that's why you see united russia ranking quite poorly amongst voters. we also see that that the voters strategy from alexi nell varney has worked quite well. as of now we can see that the candidates who were backed by his smart voting campaign received 12 out of 13 districts in moscow and all eight in saint petersburg, which is remarkable given the degree of oppression, banning all of the information about this smart voting campaign and whatnot stop from that perspective, you can see that people are frustrated and definitely willing to act collectively. unfortunately the authorities are also doing their best to stop them from coordinating. that certainly seems to be the case. 0bviously still relatively early days on the results coming in. maria, thank you very much forjoining us from george washington university. a volcano has erupted on the spanish ca

i think, for united russia, super majority for the opposition. hope all is not lost for russia, democracy, bernard, algebra, moscow. so let's discuss this now with tommy le lang. quino is a professor of international relations at the london school of economics and political science. so the programmed in united russia party is expected to win these parliamentary elections. but is there a possibility that they could lose the super majority they carney have in the duma or the parliament? absolutely, there is a possibility. but let me 1st present by saying that as your report has rightly pointed out, these elections have been accompanied by unprecedented levels. of manipulation, intimidation, even physical violence against observers. and so when we talk about numbers, it's, it's, it's very relative, it's, there is a big question mark as to the meaningfulness of even discussing what these numbers will mean for the, for the different parties of the constellation of party. and of course, we're all watching very carefully how much the communist party, th

united. russia has 46 percent of the both the communist party of the russian federation, which generally comes 2nd, just down to 23 percent. the liberal democratic fancy russia has just over 8 percent adjust russia, which recently merged with 2 smaller policies, is next on 7 and a half percent. and new party, the selection called new people has 6 percent, which is enough to handle seats in the parliament. and these results are not final, of course, they're also only for half of the $450.00 contested seats as russians also voted for individual candidates, as well as policies and his and explain the, the. so throughout the week, he has been broadcasting from the very heart of moscow and its special elections teeter and daniel hawkins and sounds good taylor brave, the wind and the rain to bring us all the latest on the elections on the final their voting. and here are some of the highlight, the, all the halls are moscow and if you paid it shooting in throughout the week, you know, we're on our roof, the best view and they're not the best weather where we're going to bring you the coverage o

now the communist party of russia is seen as the strongest challenger to united russia. and even though the communists are the 2nd largest party in russia, they've never actually come this close in terms of votes. now the comments party of russia is seen as the main alternative to the current ruling party. and that sentiment seems to have only grown in recent years and part perhaps, due to the pandemic, and the government's response to it. like in many countries, the health crisis actually widened the wealth gabbled among citizens and in russia, russia's wealthiest reportedly out of $40000000000.00 to their collective net worth . and the communist party of russia promised to tackle that inequality. they propose a program called the 10 steps tours and the power of the people. and in this program, it's aimed to tackle the social and economic issues that many russians are facing today. and one of the proposed steps is, for example, is the nationalization of key industries and banks and an overhaul on industrial investments. now the sentiment among many russians these days se

united russia has 45 percent of the bud becoming in his ponds here. the russian federation would generate come 2nd. just on the 23 percent . now, the liberal democratic party of russia has just over 8 percent. adjust russia, which recently merged with 2 smaller parties, is next on 7 and a half percent. and a new policy in the selection code. new people has 6 percent, which is enough to 100 seats in the parliament. so these results of course, are no final, and they're also only harmful before $150.00 can tested, sees as russians also voted for individual candidates as well as parties and his and explain the so throughout the week, he has been broadcasting from the very heart of moscow and its special elections teeter and today daniel hawkins and self care tailor have been braving the wind and the rain to bring us all the latest on the russian stay doing elections. so let's take a quick click. some of the highlights on the final day of voting. the, all the halls are moscow. and if you've been shooting in throughout the week, you know, on the rooftop, the

united russia has 47 percent of the vote. the communist party of the russian federation, which generally come 2nd, have gained just over 21 percent, the liberal democratic party, russia just over 8 percent, ad and adjust russia, which recently merged with 2 smaller parties is next to 7 and a half percent. and new policy and the selection called new people has just and 6 percent, which is enough to handle seats in the parliament. and these results of course, are not final because also there are only for half of the $406.00. he can tested seats as russians also voted for individual candidates as well as parties. hayes and explain the throughout the week, he has been broadcasting from the very heart of moscow and its special elections, t j. daniel hawkins, south kid taylor braid the wind and the rain to bring us all the latest on the elections on the final, their voting. and here are some of the highlights the role of the halls or shooting in throughout the week. you know, on our roof. the best view in south felt the best weather

ability to maybe not as a coherent whole but to persuade voters to vote for anyone who is not united russiasee the results you cited yourself, the resentment and frustration with the current status quo in russia is very high, and that is why you see united russia ranking poorly among voters and we see the smart voting by the jailed prominent 0pposition leader alexei navalny has worked successfully. we consider candidates who are backed by smart voting campaign 112 out of 13 districts in moscow and all eight districts in st petersburg which is remarkable given the banning of all the information about this smart voting campaign and whatnot information about this smart voting campaign and what not so from that perspective, people are frustrated, definitely willing to act collectively. unfortunately the authorities are also doing their best to stop them from co—ordinating across each other. we stop them from co-ordinating across each other.— stop them from co-ordinating across each other. we will keep across each other. we will keep across the _ across each other. we will keep across the result

's, 198 are united russia members. and it's a remarkably good result was as for the party on the whole, the results is slightly worse, but it's not surprising to me, it's been a challenging for you years. well, unfortunately, with the pandemic and incomes falling, but as well as other issues, still our party has never shirked responsibility. we supported many different decisions and not all of them people you're happy about. but i believe that this is the main goal of the ruling party. it's not slogans and promises and hand shaking. it's about actually making important decisions for the benefit of our people, even if they are sometimes i'm popular. i think we've managed to find the balance that previously the parties chairman used to be at the top of the national election led that letter and who has held that position you have as well. but this year, 5 other people had the less well known and bearing stand respected in their fields . but none of them have any experience in law making. denise protests, for example, as a

united russia proud the calls. busy busy it's manifesto the people's program. it was put together after considering online suggestions from $2000000.00 russian citizens. the main goal is to boost the public squad of life with special attention to healing the direct and indirect effect of the pandemic. ah, me, i still, like i said, united russia isn't going through the easiest of times. serious blows to the parties, reputation have included criminal charges. and in some cases, jail terms for mayor's governor's cabinet ministers even who had to be kicked out of united russia for fraud and corruption. in some cases lately, however, the party was left red faced because some of its senior members simply forgot about decent matters. seen more reminiscent of a dog owner playing with his boot. where certainly unseemly for a governor given up keys from new fire trucks to a brigade. well, soon after that the official lost his job party membership and definitely lost united russia support in his region. but it still remains the most popular political force in the country.

by this miss johnny has lived now from moscow, the united russia party seems to be holding onto its majority. one would imagine that's not much of a surprise in russia. you know, it isn't rob. it was essentially essentially conduct as it was predicted. we've got now 970. the vote counted according to the leader board behind the control election commission. and we're hearing from a parade of help serve as invited by the russian government of all essentially said the same thing that the vote will open and transparent. and i'm just going as wayland delegate describe this in a day festival. democracy is not what physician are described because all the independent monitoring groups who counted widespread allegations on the regularities of people being stopped from kinds of the vote challenges of counting the votes. and particularly unusual here in moscow is the fact that the results of electronic voting still have not been released in this city. you would think electronic voting would be instant. but while the pump results have been unofficially leaked, they have not been officially confirmed in

mary, me is pointing to a victory for united russia, but according to the exit polls, united russia share of vote is down on 201645 percent share of the party list vote this time round compared to 54 percent in 2016 and the communists seem to be the main beneficiaries. they are at 21 percent. this time round up 8 percent from 2016. the state duma seats 450 seats allocation, split 2 ways by the party list on the single mandate list. the party lit when people go to vote to get to big on pieces of paper. one of them got a list of all the political parties on it. the other one has got a list of candidates in those, in particular constituency, by name. so it's the party lists we're talking about, that's the one we have the exit poll for. and that's the one that showing united russia doing well, but not as well as it has done before. and interestingly, the tactical voting that we've been talking about over the last 3 days. this is aimed at these single mandate constituencies where opposition supporters are allowed to ex alexa in a volley have identified more than a 1000 candidates in every cons

they contained adverse publicity aimed at united russia. the candidate is russia planning to introduce any restriction or hon. issue any way the american tech giants for fear in the election in this way. is it possible to put pressure on companies like google, besides issuing political? steve mentioned slapping them with fine, google, it is possible and necessary because the way i see it for everyone sick and tired of big tech, including the united states, even biden's administration, which at some point seemed to have an advantage of a trump's team. you know, the digital space is not considering legislation that would limit these companies, but the big tech plays by its own corporate rules. they made the most amount. that's how they decide things. they let some of the hook, but give others the chop. they belong to the former us president, everywhere he had 851900 1000000 followers. by, by why we don't like him. we didn't like something he said. but these decisions were not based on us law, on an applicable ruling american because they were

united russia has 48 percent of the votes, become responsible, the russian federation, which generally comes 2nd. again, just over 21 percent. the liberal democratic party of russia has just over a percent adjust. russia, which recently merged with 2 smaller policies, is next to own 7 and a half percent. and new policy and the selection cold, new people just under 6 percent, which is enough to hand the seats in the parliament. these results of course, and final. and also they only for half of the $450.00 contest seats. as russians also voted for individual candidates, as well as parties, he's an explainer. the news. and throughout the week, he has been broadcasting from the very heart of moscow and its special elections. teja, daniel hawkins, and soft kid taylor brave. the wind, the rain to bring us all the latest on the elections on the final, their voting. and here are some of the highlights, the role of the halls. and if you've been shooting in throughout the week, you'll know we're up here on our roof. the best view in south is not the best weather. we're going to bring you the cov

so it's now the part is currently said, this is how the pass is currently stand, fast united. russia has 46 percent of the buzz, the communist party of the russian federation, which generally come 2nd, have gained just over 21 percent. the liberal democratic policy of russia has just over 8 percent, just russia, which recently much was 2 smaller policies is next to 7 and a half percent. and new policy. this election called new people has 6 percent, which is enough to hand that seats in the parliament. and these results are not, of course, final. and also they are only for half of the $450.00 contest and seats, as russians also voted for individual candidates, as well as parties. and here's an explain a for you the with the, the so throughout the weekend and the week he has been broadcasting from the very heart of moscow and his special election studio is daniel hawkins and saskia taylor braved the wind and the rain to bring us all the latest on the elections on the final dev. voting and here are some of the highlights the, all the halls are moscow. and if you paid it shooting in throu

the pro kremlin united russia party has kept its 2 thirds majority in parliament, allowing it to change the constitution because the turner was more than $51.00 the same and he's much more than 47 percent of the previous relation. but it shows that people take the whole nation of the highest representative agency of state power in the states humor. but the 3 day vote was plagued with claims vote rigging such as ballot box stuffing, electronic voting and moscow seems to been particularly difficult to check on a 100.4 percent of these results on the government's website show a 100.4 percent of those registered to cast their vote, which is not possible, it's something that impossible to trust, even if the elections would have been nothing. electronic voting and moscow seems to been particularly difficult to check. a 100.4 percent of these results on the government's website show a 100.4 percent of those registered to cast their vote, which is not possible. it's absolutely impossible to trust even if the elections would have been perfect since the beginning of the year. we began, we experie

p 's, 198 united russia members. and it's a remarkably good result was as for the party on the whole, the result is slightly worse, but it's not surprising to me, it's been a challenging for you years. well, unfortunately, with the pandemic and incomes falling, but as well as other issues, still our party has never shirked responsibility. we supported many different decisions and not all of them people you're happy about. but i believe that this is the main goal of the ruling party. it's not about slogans and promises and hand shaking. it's about actually making important decisions for the benefit of our people, even if they are sometimes unpopular. i think we've managed to find the balance that previously the parties chairman used to be at the top of the national election led that letter and who has held that position you have as well. but this year, 5 other people had the less well known and get your in stand respected in their fields. but none of them have any experience in law making. denise protests, for example

united russia down to around 27 percent. and the fears are the rushes voters will take out their frustrations with the poor economy, with corruption, with strong, with struggling, crumbling infrastructure to take out those frustrations on united russia. real incomes also down here, 11 percent. so all those frustrations might be lumped on united russia. the kremlin will hope that if united russia, supporters will come out in large numbers to vote, and the opposition with voter apathy will stay at home. this pulling station which has been open for 3 hours. there's only have $26.00 voters so far. the friday is often quieter because it's a working day. voting is spread over 3 days on sunday is expected to be the busiest day. and also opposition support has been asked to wait till sunday to vote. because there is less risk that if the weights the last minute that there's any possibility of that vote perhaps being interfered with in some way. conversely, we've seen some long queues outside some polling stations, particularly remot

be controlled by united russia party like comedies party or like just russia. they sometimes give them the constituents and then those constituencies, fuel the independent candidates were said, but most of them were just basically arrested or forced out of the country. that's why i realized needed to be from the very beginning of the election that they are 100 percent control of f. b. not even presidential administration, but f as b for mckay to be. and when they control things, they do that partially. they do everything like in a very hard way and the very harsh way in the classic track down way. so they'd rather prefer put a lot of people into, into jail just because their approaches are not like me, then let them be registered and then make the readings and all the falsifications during the election. so that was the result. unfortunately, was clear, though i had a hope, but we should be realistic. how have presentations, tactics changed in recent times? how much more challenging is it to be in opposition now in russia? well, since january 20, 211 alex and ab

of united russia. we'll see the impact of what they've been trying to do more on the single list. single mandate constituencies where they've named individuals who people should vote for, but it sure it is also having a bit of an effect on this, on this party list very early days. but yes, united russia, losing a percentage share of the vote. and we're hearing some stories of interference with while you day, and this is despite the fact that there has been according to gall us. as i mentioned in my report that has been widespread allegations of irregularities by the ballot box stuffing by intimidation of people at the voting places. and by trying to force people to go out and vote on a working day as they did on friday morning. also, the election commission has announced it's about to make it very, very difficult for people to monitor the results. they're essentially you could look online and check the results of constituencies against your own records. observers could do this. now you will be limited

unite. all those who care about ecology here in russia. the started as a social movement did $990.00 seeking a so called green revolution of all the one little less than one percent of the vote though in 2016, he's on the parties and new chairman set out his store for this is violet. money, if you were not in a position party where a central policy will bond our agenda, focusing on the environment to be represented in the duma. so we can all slows the citizens and country need every person, no matter where they live, has their own environmental issue, have their own environmental history. have about 10 legislative proposals dedicated to that. the 1st focus is on organic agriculture. we want to support our farmers. so they could stop using come food, chemicals, and that's very important. then we think it's important to impose greater fines and allow for other forms of legal action to make sure business owners and shareholders act responsibly. list. take a look at another party taking and be involved in this election. you will know pretty we

what would the united russia party regard as an acceptable result in this what united russia wants to do is to hold its super majority. this allowed to change the constitution. anything less than that would be seen of some sort of a failure of the system to maintain its dominance. the failure of vladimir putin to retain his dominance over russian politics. they still remain the largest most individually the most popular party they had about 27 percent support behind them, the communists, another an a nationalist party of a still their position groups hoping they will, that support is to come out and vote as late as possible. today, i want to vote as late as possible today because they say the later you vote, the less chance there is of the ballot being interfered with. now we will get an indication perhaps by the polls close this evening prompts by later tonight we'll get an indication with exit polls. how it looks, with a clearer picture, evolving by monday we were just talking about the fact also that many of the critics of president putin and the united russia party and the governm

on the 54% it won five years ago united. russiats to win more than 300 of the 450 seats. in parliament its nearest rival, the communist party, won 19% of the vote. . most of the opposition was barred from running. a report from the russian capital of moscow. reporter: as results came in along 11 time zones, it became clear that russia's republics, territories and regions had delivered the victory vladimir putin expected. pro-kremlin united russia party has kept its two-thirds majority in parliament, allowing it to change the constitution. the turnout was more than 51%, much more than the 47% at the previous election. it shows that people take seriously the formation of the highest representative agency of state power, the state duma. reporter: but the three-day vote was plagued with claims of ballot box stuffing. electronic voting in moscow seems to have been particular difficult to check. these results on the government's website show a 100.4 percent of those registered cast their votes, which is not possible. >> impossible to tru

so a victory for united, russia, but we're the reduced of the vote. the commune it seems to be the main beneficiary . i think for united russia is the super majority for the opposition. hope all is not lost for russia. democracy, furniture, it algebra, moscow to mean long kina is the professor international relations at the london school of economics and political science. she says the conduct of the election shells. president putin is concerned about the opposition elections have been accompanied by unprecedented levels of when he relation intimidation, even physical violence against observers. then you can also look at a block house full or empty situation, whereby we should all tend to break the perhaps excess of the grand pain in the vine a. the position activity would been in jail for 8 months in campaigning for the mart voting, whereby borders were encouraged to, to cross their both for any party other than united russia or candidates that have been those of united russia and create some of that has gone to the bare f and hopefully some of the p

but last to united russia, once long delayed electronic votes were added, the bon, off standing with the communist had benefited from tactical voting. he was one of more than a 1000 candidates, identified by opposition activists as being best place to be united russia party that the communist party has rejected the election results. usually what i say is a mathematician overnight, united russia results had been growing communists resulted in falling and to other parties. results haven't been changing. this is the main tool. the falsification is unacceptable in any country love calls before the ballot had suggested the frustration with a falling living standards and corruption would dent united russia support, but it was down only 4 percent on the previous elect. the election was widely seen at the vital part of blood, but to cement the grip on power ahead of the 2024 presidential election. the president hasn't said yet whether he'll stand as a candidate again, bernard smith, i'll just era moscow. now the 1st poles in canada snapped general election close within the our prime minister

it's still too early to tell whether or not we'll be able to keep it super majority via the united russia party. but looking at the track record, the russia has in 20112012, which were the last really congested elections, where there were protests in boston and square that were the biggest since the aircraft. so that you need to change the constitutional rights as the election committee really cited with regional governors, those regional governors were complicit in inflating botero to show them wells and election give me do nothing to track down the behaviors. so given that track record, i would be our client, this is a message to the international audience deal with the the state. anyone may criticize these rational action and should not be taken seriously as a sign of a being gauging and impartial. observations are cracked down on voter fraud who is obviously viewing. this is some sort of referendum on his leadership. and obviously over the past 3 years, he's been cognizant of the fact the russians are increasingly concerned about those . you can amik issues. they're concerned about th

i think for united russia is super majority for the opposition. hope all is not lost for russia. democracy furnished with algebra. moscow to maryland. kina is a professor of international relations at the london school of economics and political science. she says the level of intimidation shows president vladimir putin is concerned about opposition. elections has been accompanied by unprecedented levels of manipulation, intimidation, even physical violence against observers. then you can also look at it a lot fool or empty situation, whereby we should all tend to break the perhaps excess of the pain in the bar in a the position activity would been in jail for 8 months in campaigning for the so called mart voting whereby voters were encouraged to, to cross their goals for any party other than united russia or candidates that have been those of united russia and create some of that has gone to the bare f. and hopefully some of the people who will come through will be january kind of independent figure who is clearly genuinely popular with, with a li

now united russia will hope that there are support is, will come out and vote in high numbers. the opposition that hoping the opposition support is will not come out and vote united russia is under pressure on the $27.00 support of the population of those who are voting age because russians are struggling with crumbling infrastructure, poor living standards, corruption, particularly 20 percent of the population living in poverty and while vladimir putin himself personally remains popular about $6067.00 popularity, the fear of this party that's allied to the kremlin is a vote, will take out their frustration on united russia party. now the next scene of all me supposes have listed the candidates. they're backing through a system called small voting. can you explain to us how that's going to work? this is an invalid. he's listed by his support. you tap on that and you put in where your supposed to vote, and he suggests to you should vote for that now as been blocked on the apple and google store. it was available able to download it yesterday. and the idea of small voting is that

there are people who say ings can't be but we have to remind people how things could be without united russia. terrorist incidents happen almost every single day. you might leave your house to go to work and there could be an explosion right next door. >> stability is a central issue in one of russia's poorest regions. not long ago, the muslim majority was considered a dangerous place. separatists fought a war here and in neighboring chechnya. there were fears about the increasing radicalization of young muslims. in past duma elections, united russia considered more than 80% of the votes in dagestan. >> for 15 yrs, we have seen the same thing on tv. the same faces, nothing has changed. the roads were broken. the quality of living is poor, education is back. >> no one votes here. everyone just stays at home. opposition activists are also convinced that this is due to voter fraud and the intimidation of critical voices. he was jailed for defying police orders. >> after the opening, i did not manage to go home, three or four hours later, i was already arrested. >> pressure on kremlin critic's ha

where does united russia belong? on the political spectrum, i would call it a conservative and central party. what do you think about the current state of competition and russian politics? critic say it is waning. the number of parties with a chance to run has shrunk by over 50 percent from 74 in 2016 to 32 in 2021. out of 47 parties that are no longer active, 43 were dissolved by the supreme court, not by themselves. do you see the problem here? let you know it's neither a problem. no, a particularly good thing. it's just the fact that i would like to remind you about the amendments introduced during my presidency back in 2012. it allowed for more, but unity for political parties. prior to that, we only had a limited number of parties. and after that, the number grew there were quite a lot of them. this, however, didn't necessarily mean that they all came to stay and some of them simply failed to win or persevere in the competition. games failed to raise the funds or failed to secure a vote to base some failed to co

, all the support united, russia. so if you and i did, russia has a poor record this region. if the doesn't get the no holes, the governor may be removed. so i think there will be new governess there will be new faces and into and all radiate. people are getting more interested in politics . i mean, i read the western press that the seduction is so dull, so an interesting but there are hundreds. so logic, most of all in the western media in russian media, new name, some mentioned somehow you know, go and general boundary and go. and when i see these new names in their western media, i just don't know how these people can put their act together. it's not an interesting election and then while right can vote, you know, people or there are interesting people interesting cases that how can they said there should be dope? for me, it's not that that would actually someone who's definitely taking an interest in this election is the bottom and actively threatened to not recognize the result of the election. if it's a big if th

so that is the only threat that the kremlin faces united. russia still remains the most popular party in russia. according to most recent polls about 27 spend percent support close behind them, the communists and a nationalist group is whether the communists who have a lot of these, not these independent candidates that might benefit from tactical voting or with the communists. whether they can dislodge united, russia, at all, fewer than 5000 members of hong kong, political lead have finished voting for a powerful committee that will choose the cities next leader and half of his legislature. the turn out range was more than 90 percent, but all eligible voters come from so called pottery arctic pro beijing circles is the territories, 1st polls and trying to overhaul the electro system and imposed a national security law. chief executive carry, alarm him back of critics who say, hong kong government is completely under basic control. what was all this electoral system? can ensure patriots administer hong kong, which means we can trace back to the original intention of one country to sys

he reckoned around 40000000 people legitimately voted the united russia out about 110000000, but another 14000000 votes with fabricated. and if that's the case, and this is the worst result for the kremlin since bought me, puting came to power 21 years ago in the us. president joe biden says he takes responsibility for the situation at the southern border with mexico. he's promising, there will be consequences after border agents were filmed, mistreating migrants. they all just sarah footage from to earlier this week. of course, i reach of course i take responsibility. i am president, but i was horrible. would you see? as you saw, to see people treat it like they did courses very writing them over and people being strapped. it's outrageous. i promise you, those people will pay. they will be an investigation underway now and there will be consequences. there will be consequences. it's an embarrassment, but beyond an embarrassment, it's dangerous. it's wrong. it sends the wrong message around the world says wrong message at home. it's simply not who we are or why it has correspond kimberle
