Also in the programme philippine Boxing Champion turned Politician Manny Pacquiao confirms he will run for president next year. And the first civilian Space Crew to orbit the earth returns safely after their three day mission. Its seven in the morning in singapore, and two am in moscow, where initial results from russias marathon three day elections show president Putins Party on course to retain its parliamentary majority. The central Election Commission says with 25 percent of the ballots counted, united Russia Hasjust over 44 percent of the vote. Thats down from more than 54 at the last elections in 2016. Few critics of the kremlin were allowed to run with supporters ofjailed Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny among those affected. From moscow, Steve Rosenberg reports. Theres something different about a russian election. Polling stations turn into musicals. Buses turn into Polling Stations. We found this one just outside of moscow. We asked why a bus . We asked why in a bus . He couldnt explain. This at the vote was transparent and fair. It looks like a regular election. There are voters and there are parties to vote for but most opposition activists, the kremlin� s most vocal critics are barred from the ballot. At Polling Station 475, a hooded woman was caught on camera apparently stuffing ballot boxes. When she finishes one pile, and out came another. And so it went On And on. And here, someone is using a mop to cover up cctv but they forgot about the other camera that caught them pushing up the handle. At the moscow call centre, an independent Vote Monitor says its been made aware of more than 4,000 possible instances of fraud in this election. If you talk about standards, some European Standards that was assigned by russia as well, russian elections are not free and fair when we compare it with the standards. Russias state Election Commission concedes there have been some issues at some Polling Stations and says it has taken appropriate action but it denies violations are widespread. As for the result, no real surprise, the kremlin� s party on course to win the race was one according to the kremlin� s rules. Nikolai petrov is a senior Research Fellow with the Russia And Eurasia programme at chatham house. I asked him about the Voter Turnout in this election, considering all the fraud allegations. I would say that turnout is not reported at about 45 , meaning that a big portion of russians do not want to go to the Polling Stations and there is huge numbers of citizens were absolutely dependent from the Budget Or State companies and it is them for staying in line during the first day of the Voting And Voting was taken place for three days. So, there is administrative pressure and partly at the time of the Soviet Union where it was impossible not to vote. For eole impossible not to vote. For people watching impossible not to vote. For people watching around the world, the sort of issues with certainly raise concerns about the legitimacy of any result that comes through. You pointed out the specific issues when it comes to elections in russia, but are there any concerns about this, these results being contested in any way because of these irregularities . These irregularities . Although it is very important these irregularities . Although it is very important how these irregularities . Although it is very important how the i it is very important how the voting will and in so far, we do have results on political parties, not on single mandates and other states having a distributed. I think it is more important that there was an election in a proper sense because none of the real contenders, critics of the regime have been allowed to participate in the race. So, it was the kremlin who decided who should participate and now we are speaking about how fair the elections are during voting days. So the biggest problem of russian elections are connected with the whole every year prior to elections rather than the voting itself. To to elections rather than the voting itself. Voting itself. To your point about the voting itself. To your point about the unfairness, voting itself. To your point about the unfairness, the L Voting itself. To your point about the unfairness, the main issue here is the absence of any of the navalny� s candidates or anyone representing that particular party. How problematic is that . I would sa that problematic is that . I would say that this problematic is that . I would say that this particular problematic is that . I would say that this particular Partyj Say that this particular party could not claim for their Essential Share of votes but what is more important is that the kremlin put huge pressure on the media and infrastructure of navalny and although it was now the most outrageous political party, it was the second political party along with the Communist Party Of Russia in the first target for the kremlin was navalny and the second target is to be the Communist Party Of Russian federation which did benefit the End Result of huge pressure made by the kremlin and those votes which the party of the United Russia has lost.

More and more fully vaccinated people are being infected around the world. Countries like the us, uk, germany and even here in singapore are looking at, or have started administering, a Booster Shot to certain citizens. The World Health Organization has repeatedly called for a delay, arguing that current data does not indicate a need for a third dose. They say its more crucial that people worldwide are fully vaccinated before high income countries deploy a top up. Dr Poh Lian Lim is the director of the high Level Isolation Unit for the national centre for infectious diseases. Shes also a member on the Expert Committee of Covid I9 Vaccination here in singapore, where she joins us from. There seems no consensus yet among scientists and agencies that a third dose is necessary. Why has singapore chosen to do this . The reason is because different agencies have different mandates for the populations they serve in the who has a mandate to care about global Public Health and so it makes sense with the who to advocate for countries that have much larger proportions of the country who remain unvaccinated to have better access to Covid I9 vaccines. Governments are countries have mandates to protect the health of the populations and to make policies based on evidence and emerging data sews that shows people that are older and immunocompromised would benefit from the protection of the Covid I9 vaccine, especially with the more infection like delta circulating. This shows that antibodies can drop off and after six to nine months after vaccination, the reason why theres no clear consensus is because the protection of Covid I9 is a moving target and there are several factors are changing and delta is clearly more infectious and transmissible and it has gone through different populations and it causes higher rates of hospitalisatiOn And possibly severe disease, especially of Health Care systems get overwhelmed and so in the face of rising cases, countries Cannot Wait for perfect data. Secondly, different countries are using different vaccines for the roll outs. I are using different vaccines for the rollouts. Are using different vaccines for the rollouts. I take your oint for the rollouts. I take your point about for the rollouts. I take your point about the for the rollouts. I take your point about the fact for the rollouts. I take your point about the fact that for the rollouts. I take your point about the fact that the | point about the fact that the who has to care about the world and governments are to care about their own citizens. It is also true that until everyone is vaccinated or a wider number of people, and we are never safe . There will always be variance and there will always be free because the assumption the focus be on getting vaccines to lower income countries so that overall, the role will be safer . Role will be safer . That is an important role will be safer . That is an important Point Role will be safer . That is an important point in role will be safer . That is an important point in the important point in the difficulty is that it is not simple and that the problem is more complex thanjust simple and that the problem is more complex than just taking vaccines from rich countries and giving them to poor ones, the reasons is because we start to relate vaccinations naturally and try to get the entire adult back to make you need to have a Cold Chain in place, you need to have logistics for supplies like consumables, you would need political Will And Manpower resources of trained staff to vaccinate people. So, in many countries, people wrestle with capacity and theres also a lot of hesitancy about vaccines and the Side Effects and safety and so, although we want to get all the countries vaccinated an equal level and it is terribly important to support multilateral efforts like the facility. It is not as straightforward as that. If i may give an example, if i were to descend on your house with 100 kilograms of frozen chicken, you might not have these Freezer Space to hold it or be able to cook it fast enough to use it up before it runs out. So, you have to sort of, make sure that countries are able to use the vaccines because otherwise there is a risk that it will expire and get wasted. Risk that it will expire and net wasted. , ~.

Early results from russias marathon three day elections show president vladimir Putins Party set to retain a parliamentary majority. A volcano erupts spectacularly on La Palma in spains Canary Islands spewing out lava, Ash And Smoke and forcing the evacuation of local villages. Canadians go to the polls on monday in an election taking place two years early. Prime Ministerjustin Trudeau called the Snap Poll last month, seeking to capitalise on public approval for his handling of the covid 19 pandemic to form a majority government. But the latest Opinion Poll points to an extremely tight race, with Mr Trudeau virtually Neck And Neck with his conservative rival erin 0toole. From montreal, Samira Hussain reports in the remaining hours of the campaign, prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in his element. Greeting voters, his charm on full display. But it wasnt always this much fun. Many canadians are just plain frustrated. Worried about the economy, the vaccine mandates, that this election was even called in the first place. Some of that anger has come out in very un canadian ways. For many struggling to keep their livelihoods intact and businesses open, Mr Trudeaus decision to hold the second electiOn And that less than two years feels like an unwanted distraction. I have so many worries right now. Everyday is a worry. Were not through the pandemic. So, do i have enough mental Space And Heart space to even worry about the elections . We are still worrying about keeping the doors open and staying in business. The son of a former Prime Minister, he carries the most famous name in canadian politics, but he also carries the burden of canadas liberal history and its coming to get some very modern conservative energy. The leader of the Conservative Party and Mr Trudeaus main challenger is painting him as a politician born with a Silver Spoon in his mouth. Every canadian has met a Justin Trudeau in their lives. Priviledged. Entitled. And always looking out for Number One. He was looking out for Number One when he called this expensive and unnecessary election in the middle of a pandemic. Here in western canada, support for the conservatives the strongest, but the election is not the top of mind for farmers who are dealing with some of the driest conditions on record. This is a long way from the countrys political heartland. How can they help . They cant make it rain, they cant make the field grow. If someone gives us some money, all it does is that now your bill of hay that was 100 is now 120. Justin trudeau decided to have this betting that he could have more success after leading canada through to the pandemic into a bigger majority and a firmer hold on power. But it is not entirely clear that that bet will actually pay off. Such is canadas disillusionment with this election. It is even possible that he may lose power altogether. A faction of the philippines Governing Party has nominated Champion Boxer and current senator, Manny Pacquiao, as its president ial candidate for next years election. Mr pacquiao accepted the nomination after a Rival Faction nominated President Rodrigo Duterte as its choice for Vice President. The Philippines Constitution Bars Mr Duterte from running for a second term. Heres kat domingo, correspondent for Abs Cbn News explaining the significance of Manny Pacquiaos decision this means that the ruling party will so far be fielding at least two president ial candidates. Mentioning earlier that the ruling party is split into factions, one led by Manny Pacquiao and the other supported by the other and they get to decide which faction should be authorised to actually have a nominee for the elections. Pacquiao has yet to tell us who his Vice President would be in the shed to divulge us senatorial Line Up as he has yet to unveil his 22 Point Agenda for next years election. 0n the other side, we have current Senator Christopher nominated for president and for Vice President. Alongside duterte himself. Some of the biggest names on television are gathering in Los Angeles for the emmy awards, honouring the best tv of the past year. There are high hopes for british talent with the crown leading the nominations along with the london based Football Comedy ted lasso earning 20 nominations. 0ur North America Correspondent Peter bowes joins me now. It feels like were seeing a lot more of these sorts of glamorous events coming back the met gala for instance and now this are we seeing a sign that the Entertainment Industry at least is putting the pandemic behind it . It isa it is a positive sign. The organisers have a good time after what they called a bleak year. A bleak year is probably an understatement. Its been a difficult time for the industry generally.
