To the 1st Tropical Storm in 80 full years. Also denmark and the netherlands confirmed, ill supply ukraine with that. 16 bunch of jets to help in the site to get instruction. The book into the program, we still have an equitable polls of just closed and president ial unparliamentary elections. Security was tied throughout the day with 100000 Police Officers and soldiers deployed across the country, the assassination of the president ial hopefuls. And then theyll be loving since you, in the run up to the election, focused a spotlight on spiraling gang related to violence. The kinds of the to replace tim christiana is very tough, was dressed in a bullet proof vest and held it for the protected by a ballistic blanket. Despite the climate affair ecuadorian went out to vote. The last person on us get told me that the person who takes charge of this country reconcile and come to a national agree and so that we can move forward and otherwise off future looks very grim. Indeed, this fitness has nothing to spill down. Hope is not low, even though the time lead is will be in office is very short. It does require the short term goals to be set so that they can be projected and carried out. There meant that it goes with them. Was that going simply that we over conscientious for the best of the country because we really need a big change in the government. Lets see, and even a lot to in america editor joins us now live from key to lucy. I suppose it has to be said the ecuadorian. I have never experience an election like this with so much draw, but an intrigue in the lead up to the vote. You know, certainly not. And this is a country that has, it has experienced a lot of Political Drama throughout in solid street. But let me start by telling you that the polls have just just closed. Were going to walk into one of the folding stations right now, where they are beginning to do the counting of the ballots. As you can see, they are counting them one by one to make sure that the right amount of ballots are left and there it curiously, you may see that there is several boxes here on the floor and one of them people have put in their ballots for the congress and also for one of the referendums that they had to vote in and in the other the president ial ballot and as well as another referendum. So they, theres a lot of counting to be done in this selection. It will take a while before we even start to get an idea of who might be a head and who may not. But it was a very, very stressed election campaign. Without a doubt, one of the candidates was murdered. The one who replaced him this morning. He had to publish, so if he had received Death Threats from a mexican drug cartel, because he had sworn to keep the same program as the deceased. Candid as in other words, to use the army and the police to guard the ports, airports and borders and other candidates, perhaps not so well. Uh uh, its not using as much security, but one of them at least was wearing the black jacket. We saw that a lot of fear a lot of nervous and this about what will happen next and no indication yet as to who may be a head or who may win if at all in this this 1st election. Because there could be a run out if nobody gets more than 50 percent of the vote. Indeed those results in a few days. And just before we came to and you wouldnt, you would have heard and youll see a sort of what the public was thinking about the electorate and what they believed. The rights of the voters should be, as youve supposed, have spent whole day at the polling station. Whats the general attitude and feeling about the vote . This particular election, especially with so many issues of Climate Change to the environment, to security and then inflation and the cost of living. I would say that theres, theyre very mixed feelings. First of all, most of the doors were desperate for the current government to get out because they felt or feels that the president wasnt doing his job. And the whole reason why there was this nap election in the 1st place, just to remind our viewers is the president. He had one last so decided to shut down congress and hold a snap election to avoid an impeachment proceeding against him. He was really of having the was looked as though he would be and page to be stayed much longer or we hadnt done this. So people were very dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. But theyre not completely convinced that anyone else is going to be able to really solve their problems. The one thing that is interesting, the was the referendum you mention that has to do with the environment. One this, both referendums have to do with asking what is bins wait, im sorry, ecuador, and whether they agree to ban Oil Extraction in the yes, so the Amazon Region and also mining in the triple and the, and region of the country. So a lot is riding on that because this is an Oil Producing country, but its also a country where the oil is, is contaminating much of the amazonian region, and the people who live in it. So a lot of writing on that it will be coming back to as that vote code continues over the next few days. We see. And even though a lot in america, edited in key to boasting of the region, guatemalans of also being electing a new president , polls back close in just into 2 hours time, but not choosing between the Progressive Congress button the button. Now the bottle and sundry taurus, a phone with us lady and conservative tends to lead up to the president ial runoff as being marked by ca, campaigns, allegations of fraud and concerns over the integrity of the democratic process. But or Public School for us from a voting sense. In Guatemala City of each voting booth. Ah, well do it applause every time they hit a 100 uh, voters that come by. So youre hearing that periodically with that said one thing that we are hearing from electoral observers. Here in guatemala is the low voter turnout compared to the 1st round of voting. So this, this runoff election, were seeing what appears to be less than through z as them for the candidates themselves may be less um, less excitement over the actual voting process. With that said, the mood is, is pretty good. Weve been seeing throughout the course of the day. A steady stream of families coming in, people coming in with their children to um, to, to learn about the voting process to learn about a got them on democracy. You might say um, but i think a lot of that um that good mood that we are seeing a lot of the smiles. A lot of that has to do with this being the final stretch of an election thats been sort of marred by a lot of controversy. The sort of um put, theres that applause again if youre able to hear that. But theres this little of a political crisis thats been over this 1st round of elections that still hasnt fizzled out. So a lot of people are sort of just eager to get that in anxiety and get that voter fatigue over within the selection. That for a lot of people just been nothing more than a can a accusations of fraud and accusation supplies and uh and dirty campaign slogans. Basically, no Tropical Storm of hillary hose, mainland full in the california state of the west coast of mexico flush floods of already begun swamping the peninsula of 2 years. Worth of rain is expected to fall in the matter of days. Now the Us National Hurricane center has wold, with catastrophic and life threatening flooding as the store makes its way to Southern California or roll bundles on, corresponds as monitoring the situation from palm springs in california. Kentucky. With us, rob, why do you just bring us up to speed on why we think the store based on what your experiencing right now as well. So hell right here in the Southern California palm springs, the heart of the desert outside of los angeles, an uncharacteristically gloomy and misty and uh, and rainy atmosphere is prevailing here. Normally the sun would be shining bright and hot at this time of year. But now is profitable, storm gallery is bearing down on this region at about 40 kilometers an hour. So moving at a pretty good clip up from baja, california, where we already have seen some video of streets turned into rivers. Uh, cars being swept away. Uh, lots and lots of, of precipitation and rainfall as the storm made. It 1st landfall in, in bought california mexico about 5 hours ago. So as you mentioned, the National Weather service is a warning of catastrophic and life threatening flooding in this area. We should be right in the heart of it when it comes through later on. And as i said, its moving pretty fast toward us right now. The people in this town have been preparing their kind of hunker down now. And the people who weve been seeing a say that theyre, theyre prepared for this, but again, this storm could dump about 18 centimeters of water on this town in this valley, in the desert in just a day. So thats really an unprecedented amount indeed to be wasting pictures, and certainly those involve mexico fitting up some bags must be trying to divert to stop the world for effecting that properties. What sort of precautions abuse dohertys made way . You are in terms of warning the public at large about what could happen and what might happen. Some of the same things as uh, as you mentioned in, in bohack, california towns like this one and in los angeles and elsewhere the government officials have brought in sand and bags so people can fill up their own sandbags, take them home, fry to secure their homes, against any flooding event of drumbeat of publicity in the media. So people, if theyve been paying any attention at all, they should be pretty well warned about the the ups in the impending storm. The governor of california, the governor of nevada, they both declared states of emergencies as well as like for example, the city of los angeles, where the mayor has declared a state of emergency also in san diego. So the, the, the warnings are out there and people are being advised, especially to avoid traveling. Dont go out on the roads because the greatest number of deaths in a flash flood situation occur when people are driving on the road and they suddenly get swept away or they drive into deeper water than they thought they would be. And their car becomes a leaky boat. And this of course can be very dangerous. So thats the advice that people are getting. Stay home, stay safe, stay off the roads. And uh, you know, keep an eye out operating whether advisories or, or more information coming in and one other thing. So i always just want to mention that on top of all this sitting Southern California, we just about half an hour ago or less had a 5. 00 earthquake north of santa barbara. That was felt all over the region in los angeles. And we could feel here. So for one thing after another the usual in california. Yeah. Well we will be keeping a very close eye on that with you as the hours progress, but the real rentals do take in palm springs, california. So deadlock is to give 19, find the address to your crime for its own going well with russia. Danish Prime Minister ment, athletics, and said that she hopes to deliberate the 1st of the 6 f sixteens in the new yet present. Loved them. Is that on sky . Welcome, the decision showing. Assuming this is one more step and strengthening ukraines air defenses, we will use f. 16 jets to keep russian terrorists away from ukrainian cities and villages mock and i have agreed on the number of f sixteens that will be provided to ukraine after our pilots and engineers have been trained. The votes of a is the editor in chief of the swiss military review, and he explains how the supply of, of 165. 00 digits will impact to ukraines war assets. You can imagine that the situation is going to change in the coming weeks and coming months because Russian Air Forces has become in boulder. Its uh, by the facts thats a less and less ukrainian aircraft. Were able to teach the air and intercept and fire ms files at that. So without a sufficient number of airplanes, the ukraine into air force cannot maintain its size, the territorial. Its the air space integrity. Were going to see in the coming months, more ukrainian airplanes, and therefore this will probably push back the Russian Air Force strength. These airplanes are multi roll ends because they are stitches with a very comprehensive electronic suites. And even the older generation f sixteens that youre talking about now has been modernized repeatedly, they are capable of air defense. They are capable of recognizance including electronic suppression, jamming missions. And of course, a striking capabilities. So air to ground capabilities as well.

It was also the 1st mission under the flag of just russia. Because the last time they went to the moon, they were under the banner of the soviet union. So this was really a mission to prove themselves and say that they could, you know, handle interplanetary missions. They were originally supposed to do this mission with the European Space agency, but after they invaded the ukraine and everything sort of fell apart with partnerships around the world. So this was an opportunity to stay relevant in, you know, this versioning field of everyone wanting to go to the moon. China has a lander on the far side of the moon. The United States has been to the moon countless times and are planning missions to go back. But in terms of other countries, you know, access to space is more readily available than its ever been in history. So now all of these countries are trying to do the impossible to do the great things of, of getting to the moon and theyre realizing that its more difficult than what they expected.
