who s following the story for us joshua what has been the turnout like so far. as a vote two pm local time it was a twenty four and a half percent turnout which interesting is quite a bit less actually it s almost ten percent last that it was in the previous parliamentary elections just last year was this not the void that people waiting for is this uprising there for the stomach. yeah i m a little surprised that people that i ve talked to have suggested that maybe you know the old regime was notorious for using various unsavory methods for getting people to vote for them like bribery or organized government workers you know to go to the polls together and so now that that s not happening. that s that s their early speculation for why the turnout is is so much lower than it was before now the opposition is claiming that the polls were called too soon and it did not give them the time they needed to prepare for these polls do they have
have a bit of a chuckle about it right now because at the moment it was happening, there was nothing that s joshua right there. look at how frightened he was, but boy, they are happy to get to safety. by the way, no disrespect to young joshua, that is a harrowing ride. you saw that basket was spinning. it s windy. the are prop wash from the helicopter is causing it to be windier. and then you get into the helicopter that s also moving. it would not be normal, miguel to not be frightened. i m looking at those shots. it would not be normal to not be frightened as that basket was coming up. ali, are you back with me? can you hear me now? i ve got you. and we were showing the video of joshua as well. yeah. absolutely. i mean, i was terrified to be inside the helicopter. and, you know, this is an 11-year-old boy who is being hoisted up outside in the elements who has been in flood waters for several hours. so i can t imagine what he s feeling. all of these people have had
kids. i knew about anthony and gabby. do you have three children? my husband had a son from his previous marriage and that s joshua. how are they remembering their dad? you kno we still talk about him every single day all day and more than anything, i just want him to still be a part of our daily lives, and i want the kids to remember him and not remember the sad part. i want them to remember the good parts and what an awesome father he was. he had a pretty awesome turnout for his funeral. was that humbling? you said people lined the streets for blocks? they did, and that was amazing. that was something that really more than anything touched our family and touched my son. he thought it was amazing that there were so many people out there for his dad that didn t even know him. the entire experience has been humbling. people have been very, very good
