But seemed until the signs of devise have been counted in the russian general elections with the ruling party united, russia, enjoying a strong relief so far well bring you all the latest results come in ah, its 8 oclock in the morning in the russian camp, so youre watching on scene to national with me. You nation, bob oliver. Hello and welcome to the program. A story is not enough. Thats how the families of getting victims have reacted to. They had to mission of guilt in that deadly trans trying by the pentagon in campbell, which co 10 civilians. There are also reports that thE U. S. Intelligence and did warn about the possible presence of civilians including children in this trunk era, but only a few seconds before the show heads. Lets go live now to cobble and senior corresponded Rod Guarantee of murat. Hello, that so victims families and not accepting american apologies that correct well, the, the apology given thE Unprecedented international and Media Pressure on thE United States Government to admit that the strike went very wrong very quickly. Well, they, they didnt do. So for weeks we heard only mumbling and obfuscation that they tried to change the topic, tried to defend themselves shore. The international community had to get the afghans as well that they did everything by the book that there were no mistakes made on the intelligence. Half that they, they tracked this vehicle from an ice compound. They saw him with, with containers which looked suspicious. We like to davids with explosives, which were of course, which were containers of water and empty. That is also very difficult for many to believe this, this new version that was led to introduce that. The issue of warning because we heard from the pentagon, the, this intelligence that this car was an imminent threat came from all manner of agencies that it was all but confirmed. And then we have this story about the saying, oh wait, there are, there are kids that they had to get very difficult to imagine the military which had room got the knob and i can assure you we were here. We heard that there was drones and just in the skies of a couple at is very difficult to imagine that they would launch a miss up at least at the top, heated, and that they wouldnt have seen all the kids playing playing in the area. So it easy, you know, and that is an argument that the family of the victims are by either that and no one can compensate. So if you givE Us all the money in the world, it will not be enough. Its not possible to say that they cant compensate for the murder of a child, and there is no remedy for this last, after they confess that it was a mistake, we wondered why they didnt check before talking us. What did they find conclusive intelligence . They should have made sure by carrying out a thorough investigation beforE Using and attacking us. We have lost 10 relatives and it is such a painful and terrible incident. We are grieving a heartbroken, our family was innocent and we knew that we didnt do anything wrong with one and the, the show you know, the assurances that they will be compensated in thE United states a very so well that is, that is falling on deaf ears what they want is an investigation. They want a proper inquiry into how such a lapse in the chain of command and an Intelligence Oversight was allowed to happen. How this strike was allowed to go ahead, despite the fact that it happened 3 kilometers away from capital airport. So so this, this message that the, the attack was imminent is to be at the best because they could have struck the vehicle. If indeed it had tried to get to the airport somewhere along the way, rather than hitting it to the densely packed residential area, which is, which is exactly where the strike happened. The motion more, but you want justice according to american law and the person who pulled the trigger and those who gave the Fire Command should stun before a court of law. We need assurance that next time they will not kill innocent people and children in other countries. The culprits must be convicted. Nobody formerly met with those. No one contacted a toll on behalf of the american governments. We want an official investigation and the culprit must be convicted in a court of law in thE U. S. Then we will accept reparations. According to american law, just 3 people from the bank came here. They searched the crime scene and left without saying anything, but all that along on the whole as strike casualties. Civilian casualties have been loomed over the last 6 years. So as united side, thE United states and its allies wound down the ground present, so withdrew troops from again to stop. They relied more and more on that right now, according to all manner of services, the tracked the track, the number of civilian casualties that have got us thought those casualties have exploded. Example, according to Relief Web 40 percent of the casualties whose civilian casualties caused by as strikes in ive got to start over the last 5 years since 2016 have been children and 1600 children that have been killed as a result of ash drives which include drone strengths. There was also a big scandal in the early days of the bob, a presidency about the collateral caused by caused by drone strikes. And again, as strikes the fact that thE United states would count who military age men, so from 18 up to 60 as the enemy competent automatically, they wouldnt bother investigating these people. Besides this. Just the fact that they were men between 18 and 60 men, that they were water magically written down as enemy fighting. And these sorts of Record Record Keeping and reckless approached the collateral casualties has enraged afghans for many years. Walk along with revenge or fight back. We are a poor family and only trust god, he is the one who has the power to punish them accordingly. We cant forgive them. Why would we do that . I have heard that the americans have killed so many innocent people in drone attacks. I would say that these cases must be investigated to stop these killings in other countries like afghanistan. I have lost my daughter, my brother, and his children. These drone strikes needs to be stopped altogether after the attack on our family. We asked for justice, but now i call him those who have lost people to join tax over the years to stand up and demand justice. Again, this acknowledgement from thE United states that indeed this was a tragic mistake, a terrible tragedy, and that they would compensate the victims of this strike. While it is almost a precedent in terms of how quickly they, they came to make this acknowledge. BecausE Usually these types of things, these, these apologies, they take years if they ever do come, if the families of the victims ever receive any sort of compensation or whether thats even offered to look at again, that these as tried to always use as propaganda by those who have something to benefit problem be at the tile about be eyes this they, you know, they will remember the least was the americas last as try to kill ted civilians. And they will use it as a propaganda to, because all of these victims be they children or adults, the civilian casualties of every aspect. They have families, they have impoverished, usually families who are, you know, given the right push. Well, thatll be all too eager to get revenge. All his senior correspondent, im rod gas, theyre forcing their life from cobble murat. Thank you very much. Indeed for that. An official inquiry has been launched into European Commission president ursula on the line that says she has no record of her Text Messages with the chief executive. A find that majoring talks on buying vaccines from the pharmaceutical drawn. And lets now go live to europe. Correspondence, peter oliver, in berlin. Peter, how about that . So this isnt the 1st time b, E U troops, the keys, the why i think potentially key page. What do we know about that . When this all comes down to a question of communication or more accurately a question of communications, in particular, the Text Messages and basically keeping records of what was promised to who in order to to get deals across the line. Now the E U ombudsman is decided that shes going to be looking into these the Text Messages that were exchanged between your Commission President as the Phone Line and the ceo of the pharmaceutical giant pfizer. So far, what weve heard from the European Commission is that they do not keep any records of what they call short lived communications. The decision to record a certain piece of information in the Administrations Document Management system should, according to each law, not be dependent on the medium b, at a letter, an e mail, a text or instant message, but on its content. Well, at the time when the deal was done between the European Union and pfizer, well, it was a very important deal. In fact, it was a huge day, a 1800000000 doses of cobra. 1900 vaccine were secured for the European Union and it was down to what was called the personal diplomacy of from the lie. And it seems that it was crucial. And just how she interacted particularly with the, the heads of these companies and securing those vaccines. Lets remember, it was absolutely vital that this deal was done because they will also facing the shambles of the collapse of the deal with astrazeneca, who promised to be able to provide so many vaccines to the European Union and then wasnt able to carry it out. So there was a lot of pressure on getting this deal with fight done for a month, miss Vaughan De Line had been exchanging texts and calls with albert buller, the chief executive of pfizer. Another vaccine supplied the block. And as they spoke 2 things became clear. 5 might have more doses, it could offer the block many more, and the European Union would be thrilled to have them. This isnt the 1st time that earth lafond the Lions Faith questions over what happens the Text Messages that she sent the test your mind back to 2019. She was at the center of a pretty big scandal involving contracts that had been handed out with the german Defense Ministry lafond the line before becoming you Commission President , was the Defense Minister here in lynn. Now there were allegations that contracts had been handed out based on, well personal interactions, personal relationships, and these have been some pretty lucrative contracts indeed. And that a lot of the negotiating, a lot of the talks about who got what had been done by Text Message when the german parliament, the bond, the son here in berlin had said, well, lets have a look at the phone. There was nothing on that phone that phone is being completely wiped. This led to a lot of questions over just what is going on to secure the particular deals. We could not find official papers or other documents revealing wide, the Ministry Hide external consultants. So the assumption is that a lot happened by Text Messages. We have to assume that officials have destroyed evidence. Such behavior may have criminal implications. Well, that was quite a big scandal if you remember back to 2019, it was the coursE Ultimately overshadowed by everything that went on with the cove at 19 pandemic. But now it seems questions over how lafond the line goes about doing deals all back in the news and so far, answers as to what Text Messages were sent between herself and the ceo of pfizer. Well, theyre not forthcoming. Oh, youre a correspondent, feet. Her oliver live in berlin. Pizza. Thank you very much for that report. U. S. Company has mounted a legal challenge should bE Use 2019 decision to classify one with chemicals as a substance of very high consent. Thats not a test showed gen. X was dangerous for the environment and human house, the company can most spinal from dupont in 20. 15 denies the claim. The decision is not grounded in solid scientific evidence. Little levels of Gen X do not pose a human health risk, and it has also been shown to rapidly eliminate from the human body. This is a class of completely manmade toxins that are now contaminating our entire planet. They were manufactured by companies. By maam, they dont exist on the planets other than these few companies that decided to make them and pump them out into our world. Knowing that these chemicals would stay in our environment virtually forever, which is why you hear them referred to now as forever. And that they would get into us and accumulate and stay there and result and toxic effects in simply knocking a couple of carbons off of a chemical like p, f, away and calling it something new. A Gen X really is not satisfying to regulators and scientists who are looking at it and watching the data as it comes in this season. Substances used as a replacement for an old class of chemicals. Cold p, f, o, raise their bond globally in 2019 g to that effect from the environment. There are also believe to cause serious illnesses, including cancer and european court, ruled janica may present any of the same issues, p, O S. Were the subject of the film 2 quarters based on the legal boss with a town in west virginia, polluted by the chemicals, the chemicals im telling you, the documents, i dont understand. Theyre hiding something that chemical drank, drank it. Like saying what if i swung on a tire the maybe was based on the story, a Lawyer Robot Ballad who were supposed to have filed lawsuit against dupont on behalf of the small town that stuff that shows the dumping of the chemicals. And he told us he hoped to raise public awareness from the shade. You know, im encouraged to see that the story in what happened with P F away is giving out to the public through things like the movie dark waters. That people are becoming aware that this is happened that you know, and hopefully adults dont know that theres a long history here. When we 1st started digging into P F away, back in 1999. That chemical was completely unregulated. And what we were hearing back then 20 years ago about P F away is the same thing were hearing about jet acts. Now that theres inadequate studies and testing to show that theres harmful effects. So its incredibly important to take proactive steps to try to address the chemical. We shouldnt wait to see what kinds of cancer is actually developed in the people who are drinking it or being exposed. Russia ruling party, United Russia has kept a constitutional majority in the state. The ma, after around 2 thirds of the boats have been counted. This is how the part is currently stand. United russia has about 4 to 8 percent. The community, as often happens, are in 2nd place with just over 20, the liberal democrats have less than 80 percent. And trust russia, which much was too small parties is on the 7th and a half. And you palsy, in this election called new people, has 5 percent high for 5 and a half a should say the Sam Percent enough to get seats in parliament. The results are not final and account for only half of the 250. 00 contested seeds with russians. Also voting for individual candidates as well as parties. And hes an explain oh, the, [000 00 00;00] the, the counting is now well underway all across the country. And my goodness. Is it a big country . So it does take a long time for us. Russia was predicted to get the most the highest number of results i thought with United Russia. Of course, the de facto ruling party of the russian federation. Also, the largest party in the country is sherman is the form from me to the men that if the party supports the program of the president and among its goals is strengthening rushes. Sovereignty economic agenda includes support for domestic industry with emphasis on high tech sectors. Everyone here seems to be in high spirits and you can see the stage over my shoulder were one of the party leaders. Just congratulated the audience with a quotE Unquote clear victory. Anyway, it seems that for United Russia repeated success and have a super majority in this may do much 2 thirds of the seeds, which allows the faction to pass legislation without looking towards the opposition. Well, this is a whole order many way on the side. Now we had a chance to exclusively talk with the occurrence on my case. So i need the presenter united. Im not sure. He also said that regardless of the outcome, the party going down on the african american joint operating in russia because im good and really social media is influences growing by the year, especially when it comes to young people. And of course, the fact that the tech giants comply with americas laws but not with rushes while operating in our country is wrong. And well change that. We have a Draft Bill aimed at grounding those id giant, so to speak. They will have representation in the russian Federation And Bear responsibility under rushes laws. If they break those doors, particularly if they spread information that is deemed extreme is by rational authorities. If they support such groups that will be held accountable. In fact, this influences not that huge, but in big cities, it affects the Voter Turnout among youth. For us, every vote counts and we dont want to hand our electro fields to the Industry Operating under us laws. Well, United Russia, which supports the Kremlin Latimer who has been the country dominant political forrest and foundation, and the 1001. 00 or whatever that party is indeed already pub learning. And the waned in the year is actually pretty much like an engine warranty. On sit down, United Russia has completely taken up and already listen chosen some of the countrys most popular political personality cities, black sheet, candidates like the fact that its or is there showing foreign minister elaborate 3rd on the lead. By the way, the new comer to politics and hes present new came to prominence in early 2020 of the had doctor of russia main corona virus, hospital, 14 parties, optis pacing, and this years election. Whats interesting is she doubled the number that was in 2016. Scott is quite different. The 2nd leading one is the communist party of russia. The head of the communist fought. Hes been in that position for many, many years. The companys party, of course, the oldest, one of the oldest parts of modern russell, im sorry, the liberal Democrat Founder and not not 3. Hes been the old family to him tonight is he came out earlier today and said this boat, this result is an indication that the people have heard us, the people trust us. And the people gavE Us the vote. The results for the communist party of russia seems to be very promising at this point. Already. They seem to have doubled their results compared to the last election. And in some regions they have even triple them. Now the communist party of russia is seen as the strongest challenger to United Russia. And even though the communists are the 2nd largest party in russia, theyve never actually come this close in terms of votes. Now the Commas Party of russia is seen as the main alternative to the current ruling party. And that sentiment seems to have only grown in recent years and part perhaps due to the pandemic and the Governments Response to it. Like in many countries, the Health Crisis actually widened the wealth gabbled among citizens and in russia. Russias wealthier reportedly out of 40000000000. 00 their collective net worth. And the communist party of russia promises to tackle that inequality. They propose a program called the 10 steps towards the power of the people and in this program, which aims to tackle the social and economic issues that many russians are facing today. And one of the proposed steps is, for example, is the nationalization of key industries and banks and, and overhaul on industrial investments. Now, the sentiment among many russians these days seems to be that happy lives and has not worked out that well for them. And according to these places, these preliminary results, a lot of people are beginning to look for an alternative system. And communist party of russia seems to offer that alternative one of the content, the one that has that me feed on the russian political scene a very long time. The liberal democratic party is considered quite right wing. Its all time lisa is not him, is not quite a character. Seems a bit of a trump like that guy here. Russian founded it during the dying days of the soviet union not makes the liberal democrats, the oldest among the modern russian party. And one of the central platforms is a pretty tough dog on illegal migration. Its also pretty skeptical about the policies will be and all the western countries has never been shy to press opinion on that. And at the same time, it is very keen to promote patriotism. It came thought in the last lecture. Looks like it might well happen this time round to. Lets take a look now, some of the other policies that look of gain seats in the duma. So for at least the 1st off just russia, patriot for truth is a left Leaning Policy left leaning union with 6. 2 percent in the last election in 2016. Of course, that meant that part of the threshold to get seats in the russian parliament, hollywood star, steven seagal, now has that russian citizenship has become a high profile policy member. We spoke earlier with the Body Shop about their ideas. That protection was a new socialism. We say that private property is necessary, so entrepreneurship, distribution of will, mandatory Control Control the businesses should be refined as to why so many companies around 80 percent of medium businesses, but in russia, 10 percent off to the boil and get contributor lions share. Of course they should be how the new People Policy just to give you a bit of my tear was such a big deal. The policy was actually found to just a year ago. So the fact that its managed to break, come to the seed in such a way and make it quite surprising. Probably its considered right. I would say that ledges to flight jocksey, the country sounds more like a political institution. And also one of the key things to party promote social justice and supports the development of modern Technology Science and education someone. Well, me when now understand the tell principal ideas just in that we are, the voice of the russian regions has resonated with peoples hearts and all the messages we are receiving from various parts of Russia Show that weve managed to find a common ground with people. And thats our main goal. Our aim is to establish new forms of engagement with electra, as you might have noticed. So Campaign Trail was very unusual because i was trapped and she was built based on the involvement of citizens. Which i know welcome to the cedar carlo tomorrow, the a member of the chamber of deputies of the italian parliament who was among the international observers here at the russian state election.

So we have a kind of for more action system. We dont have to come there. We dont have the opportunity to vote by them by a web button, and lets say thats going around what it could be interesting for us if you want to find a way to, to arrange it in a more modern way our system of election was here was good, my, i can see i was able to talk with president of a Party Station everywhere he was going to understand of a problem. So to understand the ego, so lets putting spatial so everything was fine. And of course, its not just the old new russians. Youve been keen to get to the action of the past few days. This toodle called it. What were along to the polling station, with its owner. All the acres, i mean, have you ever seen a key school . The Pot Wasnt the only 4 legged friend to visit the Foxes Justice whilE Up to baseball. But it was a bit more of a commotion, was a recount.

Believe it or it has been. 8 brought along by a vote for support just goes to show you, theres nothing, not even a recruiting that can stop you from doing your right to vote and your duty. And for me to flip one mind with the extra. But it also decided to make a grand entrance to show rocky turned up in a deep Sea Diving Outfit design for the navy. Despite an obvious lack of ocean, you might flush with the stuff. So i thought of stephanie thought that you wouldnt expect to see or hear out a rough set of bucks. So that was something you wouldnt expect to hear out of rush election. Thats exactly what famous french actors are all just said, well, coughing his vote. Now it actually was quite big news. What happened was granted russian citizenship back in 2013. Hes had quite a few elections to vote in the part you told john that he likes the fact that that was so many candidates to choose from. 14 parties like says, rocket record number, its is facing this time.
