Here in Boulder Creek and russian minister of defense can dont says full of the attacks for rebels and estimates. The number of moses at 15 hundreds. One of these attacks happened as russia rules in the free days of president ial elections. We are in bills, our 10 builder, which is one of the board is own regents the city of bells which is going to the colon station. People here are willing to express their, their, their feelings and their concerns about the future. Feel that these day and then is creating a restful, if it has heat president ial. Building 3 children died in the attack. The 1st day of the russian president ial election has wrapped up. All the police stations are now close to across the country for the reopen in just a few hours in the far east for the 2nd day of voting on such a day of the final date. The cost of a boat will be on sunday. So far, the turnouts has the past 56 percent on this part of us special coverage of the president ial elections. We have a studio settled in the hearts of the restaurant capital. So many old, the latest updates as a nation makes this choice that would have time in the future of leadership of the country. The big question is, who will leave the country in the next 6 years, who will decide the future of the country . And that is for only russians who are voting to answer that question with the bottle to end up being tripping out and showing consign. And then so as you ask them as to how they want the one the country to be run. And that is what we have been covering. I bring you up to speed for candidates in this president ial elections and the incumbent head of state who is running as an independent candidate along with the other 3 can contend us, who are Current National lo make as representing 3 different political parties. And so far a lot of put in is the only candidate so far who has cast his ballot, and he opted not to go to the police station, but voted remotely via the Online Service from his office. Now lets head to our Political Correspondent jago pest. Can of he reports from the election, he heads up that so far, despite any attempts to have trucks to the voting process, like you just saw in russias new regions or some of the incidents that have taken place at some of the polling stations in, you know, the regions of russia and millions of people have already cast their ballots, and this is only the 1st day of the election. Like you said, this is the 1st time that russia is holding a president ial election, which will last for 3 days. And thats of course, done in order to provide everyone with an opportunity to be able to cast their ballots. Add this system was tested earlier during other elections of officials, all full lower levels and has proven to be quite effective in boosting the voter turnout numbers. This is also the 1st president ial election in which the russians are able to vote for the next president online. So to go school arent physically able to come to bowling stations that are also able to place their values. Also, this is good news for whole those into verse out there to take a listen to what some of those who didnt me at night is to come to the polls. Had to say we expect some more development, the same prosperity in the country. And then everything will turn out better for our people. The faith of our country is being decided for 6 years. The president is elected for 6 years, our entire system, the structures of government bodies and our life in general is being decided. Everyone should come and vote over to collections our lives, the president and the people are united. Our victory depends on the president and the people that i believe that elections are mandatory. And that was the, i think that this is one of the most important events for every person, for the citizens of our country. We must take part because the future of russia depends on our voice. We all, mom is citizens of russia. I think that the clergy is the advanced layer of our society, so we must actively take part in these events for some young russians, this is the 1st time that you have to take part in the president ial election for others. Of course, its not to seen some veterans of the great picture of the core uh, casting their ballot with you and seeing the russian numbers of the crew of the International Space station cast their ballots in the 0 gravity though all there was also this interesting incident in one of the pulling stations where a robot team to, uh, try to take part in the election, but obviously its a machine was denied to do so. You represent that itself deal. Its all community said that it didnt have a human id i have. But if the at some point in the future, robots would have the same rights as humans and as russian citizens, then they wouldnt have a problem with them taking place and taking part in the election as well. But i think thats just a humorous, no way and other humorist and creative way to persuade more people to take part in the election because we are talking about the next 6 years of russias political life. Unfortunately, several troubling incidents have been reported in the different parts of the country authorities already in our already investigating them and several criminal investigations are being conducted. Uh, a few people actually forward ink into the bad boxes. One woman tried setting up boiling station on fire by throwing 8 malls of cocktail in it, but thankfully, no one was injured in that incident and about the boxes werent damaged as well. But we have heard now from the head of the whole committee, all up and see a lot of who said that this is quite a serious all sense still from those who are the say and from the, from their explanations. It follows that this is coming from abroad. This means some kind of scheme, a connection. These are elements of federalism. They admit that they do this for money, but they said they will be less all that this is just bedding hooliganism. This is section 141 of the criminal code up to 5 years in prison. This is not ordinary simple hooliganism. President s incumbent president Vladimir Putin has also cast his ballots and apparently voted online. Possibly again, setting an example for others to choose that type of voting system. If they dont have an opportunity to physically go to fall in stations. Now talking about International Attention to these, this president s selection, then a 106 countries sent their observers to russia to monitor the vote. I think all in all about 200000 people, including russian citizens and yeah, foreigners are monitoring this election. Lets listen to what some of the for an observer is that what they had to say to very friendly people and very, very happy to for most of them to read. I expected you to be a beat to be a bit difficult to do all of these process these electron that you like to watch is discovered that it was very peaceful peacefully and then no interruption. My anecdotal, you know, the perception is that people feel excited to vote, i guess the voter turnout so far as the very good with early voting something over 50 percent. Well, that says something, you know, people are lined up here at 7 am to vote, even though it didnt open till 8. So that says something again, i dont want to draw to be lucians because that wouldnt be fair and i tried it from there. But i certainly did, things are not as the west now, in contrast to these comments, so made by some of the international monitors, id like to share with you some of the comments now coming out to from some western officials, many of whom had been saying earlier, that they wont be paying attention to the president ial election in russia, calling it a sham or illegitimate. But now it seems some are taking to sarcasm as the last resorts, for instance, the European Council president , who said that quote, id like to congratulate vladimir put it on his landslide victory in new york section starting today. No, a physician, no freedom, no choice. He wrote this on x, formerly known as twitter, of course, or a policy analyst with the European Parliament who said that recent changes to rush as a total was make it virtually impossible to conduct any meaningful monitoring and have significantly restricted the role of the media. Well, frankly, i think these 106. 00 countries, which did defend their observers, to monitor the selection in russia. I think they would disagree so far. We havent seen the any other candidates cast their ballots, but i do think they have a lot on their hands. And plus theres still lots of time to do so of course theres still saturday and sunday, so im sure well be seeing them taking part in the vote as well. But we have seen many senior russian officials, including the 40 minutes, elaborate defense minutes are showing casts are about the, the heads of the russians regents including the new regions. So basically all of them are setting an example for all the other russian citizens. Also to take part in this election earlier, i had the opportunity to speak with a member of the guns in parliament edson reuben mile. And he said that theres a lot to learn from the russian voting system. Not doing what i have themselves all day. Ive been visiting the polling stations i, i go to appreciate what is tremendously unique. Yeah. The integration of high level i t, we by election with democracy and other find the process very much efficient effective and presented the integrity of the democracy of the country. So to those who reject these forces, just before it starts, i say, you know, youll be sticking. Think crusher is doing something great. I think we have so many things that we need to pick from here, especially with the integration of the voting into the democracy. Simple month to month when you reach at the polling station today, youll see the mechanisms that the government has the central election coming. He has put in place to guarantee each individual support the surveillance, the 24 hour surveillance of c c t v. You look at the ability to go out and help everyone in the class on the disabled of the very everybody pass on to make sure they can seize the average of what. And youve said this is very unique. This is going out of the way to ensure every pass on counts in a democracy. Its very important. But other than since theyve got be the issue thats, thats a growth in the relationship between russia and especially the african countries. Not just didnt want to specify you straight to african countries as a group in relationship. Can you share with us from your perspective, what is responsible for this Cooperation Group that is going on in the relations between russia and africa . I think all of a sudden pressure has opened the hearts and minds for africa on the, on the other end we up for shit that we had at this unique moment rush i chose to open that has a for us will come most on share with us the good resources they have, the technology of them knowledge and that everything, the product that expose this exposure. So it see it also is much to be the willingness that the company does have today. The data, they look at a very dependable but tonight in russia, on the accounts as uh for, for the cooperation that youre seeing today. And i think more well come when we continue in the same project or the head of International Election observe us member of parliament came. And he mentioned that theres something unique about this election. And he said that they something he will be taken back to his country as a way of experimenting, expressing the vin a voting system. Lets get to hear what he had to say today. Because, you know, im here at the invitation of colleagues from the Central Election Commission of russia and delegation from the Central African republic arrived here 2 days ago. They would serve the going elections in russia. The evidence of the we arrived and started work early in the morning, completely visited 3 polling station because of the process is organized very well. And so we saw the voters know how to act for the employees at pulling stations, are well informed and know how to receive citizens or the vote we somebody. We also noted that there were candidates representatives and local observers at the polling stations to monitor how the elections were proceeding. We believe that these elections are being conducted properly in accordance with International Electrical standards. And i would like to mention that we participated in a discussion during which we touched upon the issue of security and guarantees that election organizations provide to people voting online. And we want it to know how remote voting is made. Secure. Our voters who vote electronically are protected and how to ensure that the loading is not interfered with by 3rd party as a we raise of this issue to exchange experiences as themselves, but the issue is left for tomorrow. So i hope that we will discuss this again. What do we want to wish to the russian people so that the voting takes place in good conditions and that there is peace in the country so that it shows all right, at this point, we will wrap up with the president ial election studio right here. The red square, what set to leave, were not done with the elections yet. Out for the day. One, all the pulling stations of clothes, but just in few hours, regions in the far east will spot again and their lead usually in day 2 of the elections as it goes on by the way, through out the 11 time zones of the Biggest Country in the world, so im little hands of about to my colleague, p described in the studio. I will be right back here tomorrow to continue with all of you in dallas is bringing you point by point of what is going on. Have a great day. I the was mike, a question from us studio just across the street from the kremlin will be bringing you all the updates guest interviews analysis straight from the hearts of moscow as we wait for the final outcome of who lead russia for the next 6 years. Weve gone to the news now. The is where the Prime Minister has given the green lights for the i guess plant of a full scale ground assaults on the southern gauze and city of rough or is our season milledgeville, chief, roofing austin out with all the details. The Prime Ministers office announced that gave its approval for a ground defensive and rough um and as a software up to 1500000 palestinians currently find refuge. Most of them internally displaced from the facilities in the north. It is not clear exactly when the operation might kick off, but we hear from the idea that preparations are in full swing is really pushes for the invasion and it says to finish with the militants, the i gf, already killed around 13000 past 5 years. But at least 5000. 00 others according to israel, i still reported late in the gaza strip and most of them probably hiding somewhere in the south. Israel also claims the right dozens of tunnels and goes south. But the length of the street with saw nice for which is really believes, have my smuggles militants, money and weapons. So israel says it needs to be destroyed. There are 2 major problems with a rough fall offensive. The 1st is where exactly to evacuate all those. 4 gallons from the junction board. Here is what i was planning to establish. So cold humanitarian islands in the center of the street, packed with food, walter medications, and tense, but a 1500000 people will. There be enough space and supplies for them. Be fighting so continues. There is so unclear how equities will provide security for all these palestinians. And other issue is the lack of international support. Pedros biggest ally, the u. S. Has repeatedly said it would not back such and im slaughter, especially if hes real, doesnt present a solid plan on where to replicate people from the junction border. And guys, im clearly bombing and firing in such a densely populated area poses many risks earlier. President biden made it clear another 30000. 00 dash would be a red line even for washington. All their allies like germany, for example, voice similar concerns. The german chancellor is arriving in israel on sunday and is expected to try to persuade Prime Minister netanyahu to refrain from rough by invasion if its not yet too late by that time on friday. And is really to dig ation and is set to leave for go home to continue talks with him, ask for guitar remediation. Another reason for announcing the approval of the large scale, how peroration and rough could be an attempt to put to more pressure on him. Us to agree to the deal when they to states us thats a scale of the world and create, well, they called a coalition to help supply ukraine with more weapons. Thats according to the gym and chancellor you spoke of to try lot to me thing with the french president s opponents Prime Minister. The stem. Its hard to off. I think it should be a pump. Weve agreed on a number of key points. Among other things, we will immediately procure even more weapons for ukraine on the global market. Secondly, the production of military equipment will be expanded also through cooperation with partners in ukraine. 3rd, as part of that, or im starting format, we will establish a new coalition of capable people for a wide range of missile artillery. Shops out there like that guy, the nightclub who cant make a trip to the washroom on his own, he has to drag his whole posse along. They all need to hold each others hands. So no one sticks out as being particularly escal latoria in this conflict. Because as michael said, theyre quote, continuing as them done since day one to never take the initiative of any escalation. Were talking here about the same guy who acted like french opposition parties were a bunch of voices if they didnt agree with his idea of sending frank soldiers to crate using the coffee to indulges and for not for the on board that passed fantasies against russia. Yeah, germany sending long range weapons to be used in ukraine talking about sending torres is over there, the 500 kilometer range against russia. And my goal is to staying on sending french troops till holy or any kind of a splits where it is at all right. Of course, they can always just conveniently say at some point of their choosing that it was russia, the escalated the conflict. So they just didnt have a voice right now. Like they havent already done a bunch of things that they said they absolutely never do. In this complex, so at this meeting in berlin with my whole goals and all this time, the district all task show, underscored that the 3 countries are not at work with russia themselves. Oh, excuse us. While we just use this whole conflict as a pretext to ramp up our military Industrial Complex is as though we actually were at work with russia ourselves. Jeremys, going to increase production artillery in ukraine. Its weapons we make our ryan metal really is never had it. So good at making hardware that can get the loan up pretty much right on the battlefield, coming straight off the assembly line. So no need to even spend any money shipping it to where it can actually get blown up started there. Its a wonder that their weapons production facilities and ukraine are you still operational and havent been blown up themselves . Homes altogether. They call this discussion for a met with pulling france and germany, the raymar triangle, but its more like its on the verge of turning into a Bermuda Triangle for native weapons. And so the pole is Prime Minister this need us. And for lynne was also a great virtue signaling opportunity spelling out the settings of this meeting. The atmosphere of it showed very clearly that some malicious rumors about the fact that europe in capitals are different from each other in a few matters were widely exaggerated. Today we spoke in one voice without any unnecessary waste or hesitation without any which is sometimes typical for markets policy. We have decided that a free green must be immediate and as intensive as possible, we want to spend our money. We want to help in all possible ways to get polish farmers and truckers protesting against the unfair advantage that their ukranian counterparts are getting into European Market right now. We really, really, its, its not absolutely thrilled to learn that their own government wants to spend their money on your trade desk. Seems awfully concerned about the perception of divisions between these 3 countries. Well, they all do actually, maybe they should be more concerned about the very real and deep divisions between the people of their countries and the junkers, making these decisions with poles in germany and france and particular showing that the actual citizens of these countries really are not in sake, overwhelmingly with their leaders, when it comes to this idea of either ramping up long range weapons or sending their own troops to ukraine. Michael said that the 3 nations are quote, united, the determined and resolute to never let rush away. It sounds like you, how does the poli on it, you call them that hat on a bit too tight when practicing for this performance in the mirror. And thats pretty much what it is. Its a show for the folks at home, while the reality is on the ground are much more complicated and these guys conveniently refused to define for the folks at home. What russia really would even look like, hey, if you dont put up a goal hose, then you never really have to worry about moving. And finally, us delegation that arrived in the on tuesday left the West African States empty handed us on the secretary of state for africa, who was accompanied by representatives from the pentagon, an african, while they were expected to meet the countrys military leader. But he did refused to give them an audience. Nigeria based journalist timothy, ill be as a, as all the details of us under secretary of state for often a fast molly fee and some of the us off government micro land. We were among officials with these, we got the west stopped and based on this week, they arrived on tuesday, but expanded their stay until the 1st day in hopes of meeting general c. Jani, besides military leader. But the us officials left without an audience with c army, though they met with the needs of re and Prime Minister in the capital. The meeting was to renew contact with me sir of the last year as military tool. And to review the us security and Development Partnerships with the nation is as military lead, i did not get any explanation for not being present and domestic government is yet to each one of these all statements. This is the 2nd us delegation visit to missouri. Seems the manager in summer of last year, the United States condemns the cool as demanded a return to Constitutional Order with the restoration of the post. President s meanwhile, seems to cool the military lead as have been very vocal about moving away from former colonial powers. And for west force in front to withdraw its troops from the country. From the junk we jumped, the french didnt want to listen to us. We issued several warnings. We had to re define new principles for our cooperation before it was too late. The time of colonization is over, everything must be done by the will of the people. We are convinced that the future of new share will be bright, because we will work to guarantee the rights of citizens in the next year. And people will benefit from the countrys wealth cronsa at about 1500. So it just space on in the countries a spot of a wide or 5 days do you have, besides military, you have lots demand at the withdrawal of us forces. Washington, however, has never made a secret of incentives to remain militarily present in missouri. The United States still has about a 1000 seats in missouri, although the, our prices have been limited since the last small miss air was neighboring. Malia and 14 or possibly decided to leave a course and advance there on poor police and block that for us had imposed sanctions on the opposite. The military pay ended the latest move this week. My julia decided to leave samsung on sir timothy o. P. R t. A bu materia, lydia. We spoke with the political analyst from nisha, who says that young age should look beyond america, foundations to cooperate with the uh, the americans are interested in their military base with more than a 1000 soldiers who do not make any decisive contribution to the fight against terrorism. I do not think they have any reason to be here anymore. I think they shall draw their own conclusions. Were at war. Why did we abandon the french because they were useless to us . The only complicated the situation, our Prime Minister said that we need americans sponsors or investors, not the american soldiers. If they cannot help us eradicate terrorism, then they should leave. They have to take responsibility for themselves. Our country is now part of this a how alliance of states this alliance. Theres 2 fundamental principles. I think the best choice for you here in all the countries that make up this a hell alliance is russia, in addition to key in iran can be considered. We welcome any country that pursues and on this policy is able to assist us ensuring the security of our country. Well, thats a route for now. My names p discards, and ill be back again at the top of the all. It was all the latest news and views by tito announcing the the the brush remains the only colonial empire that still exists in the mountain welled comprised of both its colonies just guy, cisco overseas territories. Numerous officially sold for an african states that phone under frances. So called from the freak sphere influence. Its no one to that any respondents, im hearing the word colonialism, followed up with the word for us. And the relationship between friends and family, formerly french so done, is a good illustration. The
