Stars arrive for the emmy awards. Its 8am in singapore, and 3am 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 33 percent of the ballots counted, united Russia Hasjust over 45 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 LeaderAlexei Navalny among those affected, but the bbc� s seen evidence of potential vote rigging, as our correspondent in moscow, Steve Rosenberg reports. Theres something different about a russian election. Polling stations turn into music halls. Buses turn into Polling Stations. We found this parked just outside of moscow. We asked, why in a bus . He couldnt explain. The authorities say 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 Politicians and activists, in other words the kremlin� s most vocal critics are barred from the ballot. And talking of ballots. At Polling Station 475 a hooded woman is caught on camera, apparently stuffing ballot boxes. She finishes one pile, and then out comes another. And it goes 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 this 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 were assigned by russia too, 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 its 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 that was run according to the kremlin� s rules. Steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. Nikolai petrov, 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 who are absolutely dependent from the Budget Or State companies and it is them who were 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 people watching around the world, around the world, these sort of issues 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 . Although it is very important how the Voting Day will end and so far, we do have results on political parties, not on single mandates and other states having been 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 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 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 not the most outrageous political party, it was the second political party along with the Communist Party Of Russia and the first target for the kremlin was navalny and the second target used to be the Communist Party Of Russian federation which did benefit in the End Result of huge pressure made by the kremlin and those votes which the party of the United Russia has lost. Bose came to the communists. You can of course find comprehensive Bbc Coverage of the russian election including results as they come in and full analysis from our correspondent in moscow, Steve Rosenberg online. Thats at bbc. Com news. A volcano has erupted on the Spanish Canary Island of La Palma. Homes have been destroyed but its not yet clear how many. A two kilometre wide Exclusion Zone has been set up around the volcano, and the spanish Prime Minister has postponed a diplomatic trip to go to the scene. Courtney bembridge has more. For the first time in half a century, the volcano erupted. Fountains of molten Rock Shooting hundreds of metres into the sky and incandescent orange rivers flowing towards the hillside. The island has been on high alert for the past week because of huge increase in tremors and thousands of people were told to leave their homes. The eruption started in the afternoon. Plumes of smoke could be seen from across the island and eyewitnesses describe hearing a loud explosion. The noise coming from the volcano, it sounds like 20 fighterjets taking off and it is extremely loud. I dont know how to explain it. It was powerful. Powerful. To feel a sudden explosion like that. I can imagine it would be so sudden. Two hours later with rivers of Lava Edging down the hillside, soldiers were deployed to help get people out. The Prime Minister has arrived after postponing his trip to New York for the united nations general assembly. We are very mindful of the fires that could break out i after these eruptions. So, we have just deployed notjust not just firefighters and notjust firefighters and the military unit. I want to acknowledge the work that the Red Cross are doing. Helping those who were i forced from their homes. Experts say it is not clear how long the eruption will last and its going to be an anxious wait for residents. Spectacular pictures, but so worrying for everyone in the zone affected by the volcano. Lets take a look at some other stories in the headlines. France has cancelled a meeting between the countrys armed Forces Minister and her british counterpart planned for later this week. It comes days after australia scrapped a Submarine Order with paris in favour of a new Defence Pact with washingtOn And london. France responded by withdrawing its ambassadors from both washingtOn And canberra. In afghanistan, the interim taliban mayor of kabul has told female City Employees in the capital to stay at home unless they are in jobs where they cant easily be replaced by men. Hamdullah nomani said it was necessary to stop women from working for a while. The uk Prime Minister and the Un Secretary general willjointly host a meeting of World Leaders on climate change in New York on monday. Britains borisjohnson will use the meeting to warn that more must be donated by rich economies to support developing countries� transition to net zero. Hell call on leaders to meet the pledge made in the Paris Agreement to mobilise 100 Billion Dollars a year from 2020. Now as the Delta Variant of the Coronavirus Spreads 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, a member on the Expert Committee of Covid I9 Vaccination here in singapore explained the science behind the boosters. Different agencies have different mandates for the populations they serve. The who has a mandate to care about global public health, so it makes sense for the who to advocate for countries that have large proportions of the populations who remain unvaccinated to have better access to Covid I9 vaccines. Governments for countries, however, have a mandate to protect the health of their populations and to make sound policies based on evidence, so emerging data Shows that people who are older and those who are immunocompromised would benefit from the protection from a third dose of Covid I9 vaccine especially with the more infectious variants like delta circulating. So this data that Shows the Neutralising Antibodies can drop off after six or nine months from vaccination, the reason there is no clear consensus is that the protection against Covid I9 is a moving target and there are several factors that are changing. The first is the virus. Delta is clearly more infectious and transmissible and it has gone through different populations and causes higher rates of hospitalisatiOn And possibly severe disease, especially of Health Care System is overwhelmed. So in the face of rising cases, countries Cannot Wait for perfect data and secondly, different countries are using different vaccines for their roll outs.

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 I9 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 up against 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 is 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. To another election now and the philippines Governing Party has nominated Champion Boxer and current senator, manny pacquaio, as its president ial candidate for next yea r� s vote. Mr pacquiao accepted the nomination after a rivalfaction nominated president Rodrigo Duterte as its choice for Vice President. The Philippines ConstitutionBars Mr Duterte from running for a second term. This means that the ruling party is so far will be fielding at least two president ial candidates and as you mentioned earlier, the ruling party is split into two factions, one led by pacquaio on the other supported by President Duterte. So far the Philippine Commission On Elections has yet to decide which function should be authorised to actually field a nominee for next years elections. Pacquaio has yet to tell us who his Vice President would be and has yet to divulge a senatorial Line Up as well as he has yet to unveil his 22 Point Agenda for next years elections. 0n the other side we have current senator, nominated for president and Vice President no less than president no less than President 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 ComedyTed Lasso earning 20 nominations. 0ur North AmericaCorrespondent Peter bowes joins me now. He has been watching this very closely for us. I know in the last hour or so we were discussing the fact that the pandemic has made it so difficult for events of the sort to take place. What has the tone of bean like of this ceremony in the Event Tonight . The tone so far is very, very upbeat, a very big celebration on televisiOn And they started with a musical number led by ll coolj, paying tribute to the very medium itself and it had the audience upon its feet in the audience upon its feet in the makeshift auditorium which is a tent and a few of the attendees were sort of Poking Fun at the fact that they were in a tent because it felt like they were inside a theatre, but nevertheless its one of the concessions made by the organisers to try to keep this event safe, that covid has not disappeared, but also reflect the fact that television is back and they did that by as i said paying tribute to the medium and a very very upbeat start to the Show. Its medium and a very very upbeat start to the Show. Start to the Show. Its been such a difficult start to the Show. Its been such a difficult time start to the Show. Its been such a difficult time for start to the Show.

Weve already seen that come true with Ted Lasso doing well in both of the first two categories for supporting actor and supporting actress. Ted lasso is a comedy about football, an american Football Coach heads to england to coach an English Football team and the americans call it soccer. A kind of fish out of Water Scenario and weve already seen awards for the actress who is the owner of the english club, and also for brett goldstein, who plays one of the footballers, again a british actor, so so far, two out of two four british performers and it bodes well for Ted Lasso when we come to the big categories at The End of the night and its very much the strong favourite to win for best comedy.

As far as the actors and actresses in the Show, most of the top names are actually nominated in their respective categories, but Ted Lasso is actually my favourite. I came to it rather late but then i binged viewed it in the last couple of weeks and i think its just because it is so different and it pokes fun at English Football in the cast of characters in the sport. These are with all of the latest action from the emmys and his top favourite. I would love to hear what yours might be. Do tweet me. One of englands greatest and best known footballers, Jimmy Greaves, has died at the age of 81. He was Tottenham Hotspur� s Record Goalscorer with 266 goals. He was also part of englands 1966 World Cup winning squad and is one of the sides all time top scoring strikers. Andy swiss looks back at his life. Here come chelsea, on the attack. He was English Footballs ultimate goal machine. Back to greaves, the chance of a shot Jimmy Greaves once said that, for all his skill, scoring was hisjob and it made him a superstar. Greaves oh, and a Hat Trick for greaves after starting at chelsea, greaves moved to Ac Milan in 1961 but his European Adventure soon turned sour, and he came home to Tottenham HotspurThe Club which would define his career. It wasnt just the goals, it was the staggering rate at which he scored them 266 for spurs, 44 injust 57 games for england. He was a key player heading into the 1966 World Cup. But early in the tournament, greaves was injured and, although he recovered by the final, he was left out in favour of geoff hurst. A disappointment which proved hard to take. I couldnt force myself to join the festivities, because id built. In my own mind, i had built myself up that i was going to be in the side and i was going to be one of the key people and, suddenly, it wasnt there. This is greaves after retiring in 1971, greaves struggled to cope. Alcoholism was followed by bankruptcy. But he battled back from both to reinvent his career. Good afternoon. Gday now, saint, what happened there . You were favourites to qualify. A relaxed raconteur, he was a tv natural, and Saint And Greavsie alongside Ian Stjohn was a hit with viewers. Although the programme ended in the early � 90s, the affection for greaves certainly didnt, and in 2009, the man who famously missed out on the World Cup final at last received a winners medal. It was a fitting reward for one of footballs most popular and prolific talents. Rarely has the art of Goal Scoring been made to look quite so easy. Hello there. We start this new week off on a fine note thanks to high Pressure Efficiency quite a bit of sunshine around and do feel quite warm in the afternoon. Both today and into tuesday. Then towards The End of the week, we will see an active jets spin up deep areas of low pressure pushing to the northwest of scotland, Yesterdays Weather Front still straddling, East Anglia in the southeast with quite a bit of cloudy times, some Showers around, the Odd Heavy One too. And it starts a bit wetter for Northwest Scotland through the day with a few Showers for Northern Ireland. The best of the sunshine, a good slice of central portions of the uk but well see highs of 21 degrees. Generally into the high teens where we have more cloud. As we head through monday night, the Weather Fronts in the northwest sink southeastwards, fizzling out leaving no more than a band of cloud and maybe the odd Shower. Eventually, we lose that Weather Front across East Anglia in the southeast. Where skies clear will be quite cool, single Digits Butjust holding onto the cloud around ten to maybe 12 degrees. So, we start tuesday off of our area of High Pressure dominating the scene, but we have a deep low spinning up to the north of the uk.
