Treatment for Netflix Series The Crown as it scoops big accolades at the Emmy Awards in la. The Ruling Party in russia that supports President Putin has claimed victory in the controversial parliamentary elections just hours after the polls closed. A State Television Broadcast showed a senior official of the United Russia party, andrei turchak, congratulating a crowd of supporters in moscow on what he described as a clean and honest victory. The central Election Commission says with 25 percent of the ballots counted, united Russia Hasjust over 44 percent of the vote. Few critics of the kremlin were allowed to run, with supporters ofjailed Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny among those affected. This report from our Moscow Correspondent steve rosenberg. 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. This is what the congratulations of Party Faithful earlier was. Translation dearfriends, Let Me Faithful earlier was. Translation dearfriends, let me congratulate faithful earlier was. Translation dearfriends, let me congratulate you faithful earlier was. Translation dearfriends, let me congratulate you all faithful earlier was. Translation dearfriends, let me congratulate you all On Faithful earlier was. Translation dearfriends, let me congratulate you all on a clean and honest victory. I just spoke with the chairman of the party who could not be with us today as he fell ill. He thinks you all for this result. As far as we knew, 25 of votes have been counted, with United Rush on about 44 . I asked maria snegovaya, Visiting Fellow in european, russian and eurasian studies at george washington university, if the results so far show that the governing party is losing ground. Yes absolutely. Good evening. As a matter of fact, if you compare this current number, 45 which United Russia got backin 45 which United Russia got back in 2016 which was 54 . And this is the number by the way, thatis this is the number by the way, that is happening against all of the repressions, falsifications, banning independent candidates from running and demotivating the position voters from participating so its a bad result from United Russia but we do have major sources of possible fraud or possible winning options for United Russia. Those other candidates from districts where United Russia is leading and that is probably the strategy for it to win majority of votes this time around and another such new source of possible fraud is coming from electronic voting, the new system that has recently been introduced and a lot of people who vote electronically electronically, its impossible to monitor the results that are going to be produced by the authorities. As we speak, right now, moscow has not released the results. We wait to see that it does that in their ability to maybe not as a coherent whole but to persuade voters to vote for anyone who is not United Russia. We definitely see the results you cited yourself, the Resentment And Frustration with the current Status Quo in russia is very high, and that is why you see United Russia ranking poorly among voters and we see the smart voting by the jailed prominent 0pposition Leader Alexei Navalny has worked successfully. We consider candidates who are backed by smart Voting Campaign 112 out of 13 districts in moscow and all eight districts in St Petersburg which is remarkable given the banning of all the information about this smart Voting Campaign and Whatnot Information about this smart Voting Campaign and what not so from that perspective, people are frustrated, definitely willing to act collectively. Unfortunately the authorities are also doing their best to stop them from co ordinating across each other. We stop them from coordinating across each other. Stop them from coordinating across each other. We will keep across each other. We will keep across the across each other. We will keep across the results across each other. We will keep across the results as across each other. We will keep across the results as they across each other. We will keep across the results as they come j across the results as they come in as well. 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 Cumbra Vieja Volcano erupted. With fountains of molten Rock Shooting hundreds of metres into the sky and incandescent orange rivers flowing down 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 can 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. Translation idontl know how to explain it. It was powerful. Powerful. To feel a sudden explosion like that. I couldnt 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. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has arrived in La Palma after postponing his trip to New York for the United Nations General Assembly this week. Translation we are very mindful of the fires they could break out after these eruptions. So, we havejust deployed many. I want to acknowledge the work that the Red Cross are doing helping those who were forced from their homes. Experts say its not clear how long the eruption will last and its going to be an anxious wait for residents. Courtney bembridge, bbc news.

All of the money has taken months for them to get here, they dont want to just turn around and saw the risk of deportation is real and a lot of them dontjust know dont know what to do next. What does that mean, weighing their options.

Many people in they first enter mexico at the southern border, if they try and get any sort of humanitarian status In Mexico, they need to wait there at the southern border so i think people are just getting really frustrated by the situation, the pandemic has slowed down all of these bureaucratic processes. So those that ive spoken to dont seem very mystic about staying In Mexico but that is the main other option available at the moment.

Thank you very much indeed for talking us through the situation there down the border.

Stay with us on bbc news, still to come canadians prepare to vote in mondays parliamentary elections, in a Snap Poll called by Prime Minister trudeau. Benjohnson, the fastest man on earth, is flying home to canada in disgrace. All athletes should be clean going into the game. Im just happy that justice is served. It is a simple fact that this morning these people were in their homes, tonight those homes have been burned down by serbian soldiers and police. All the taliban positions along here have been strengthened, presumably in case the americans invade. Its no use having a Secret Service which cannot preserve its own secrets against the world. And so, the british government has no option but to continue this action even after any adverse judgment in australia. Concorde had crossed the atlantic faster than any plane ever before, breaking the record by six minutes. This is bbc world news. The latest headlines early results from russias marathon three day elections show president vladimir Putins Party set to retain a parliamentary majority. A volcano is erupting 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 Ministerjustin 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 in 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. They cant make it rain, they cant make the feed 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. Samira hussein, bbc news.
