That incurs on region 2 people. Well wounded off the planet forces attends local Police Agents about to go into the Regional Government in response to russian president vile but cubes attempt at assignments. Housing the president ial election wont go unpunished. In an attempt to disrupt the voting process and intimidate people, at least in the border areas with ukraine. The key of neo nazi regime is trying to carry out a series of criminal and demonstrative armed acts. This primarily involves targeting peaceful settlements on russian territory. Approximately 95 percent of the enemies missiles and projectiles are destroyed by our air defense forces. Nevertheless, unfortunately, there are casualties among civilians. All of them and their families will of course, receive all necessary assistance and support these attacks by the enemy will not go unpunished. Several following stations think of some region were shielded by Ukrainian Army in the fields. They are fresh president ial elections, leaving 2 civilians wounded this day. The city of bills or was shield at thats on the region of recently intensified significantly. You create a new meal for an Intelligence Units have tried to seize, tried to capture few really just one of the territory refresher. Here in Boulder Creek and russian minister of defense can dont says feel of the attacks from rebels and estimates the number of moses at 15 hundreds. One of these attacks happened as russia rules in the free days of president ial elections. We are in bills are 10 builder, which is one of the board is own regents the city of bills which is going to the full and station people here are willing to express their, their, their feelings and their concerns about the future feel are these, they denounce creating a restful, if it has heat residential building. 3 children died in the attack with the 1st day of elections, wraps up votes is in russia also to continue costing the ballots more expensive a the final cost uh, the front of day the cost about with will be sunday. So for all the sudden that has the past 36 percent as part of our special coverage or the president ial elections, we report from the heart of the russian capital to bring you all the latest updates. The big question is, who will leave the country in the next 6 years, who will decide the future of the country . And that is for only russians who are voting to answer that question with the balance and that being tripping out and showing concern. And then so as you ask them as to how they want the one, the country to be run, and that is what we have been covering. I bring you up to speed for candidates in this president ial elections and the incumbent title states who is running as an independent candidate, along with the other 3 can contend us, who are Current National lo make as representing 3 different political parties. And so far a lot of put in is the only candidate so far who has cast his ballot, and he opted not to go to the Police Station but voted remotely via the Online Service from his office. Now lets head to our Political Correspondent jago pests cannot hear reports from the election he has observed sofa, despite any attempts to have trucks to the voting process, like you just saw in russias new regions or some of the incidents that have taken place at some of the polling stations in, you know, the regions of russia and millions of people have already cast their ballots. And this is only the 1st day of the election. Like you said, this is the 1st time that russia is holding a president ial election, which will last for 3 days. And thats, of course, done in order to provide everyone with an opportunity to be able to cast their ballots. At this system was tested earlier during other elections of officials, all full lower levels and has proven to be quite effective in boosting the voter turnout numbers. This is also the 1st president ial election in which the russians are able to vote for the next president online. Uh so, so school arent physically able to come to bowling stations, are also able to play service also. This is good news for whole those into verse out there to take a listen to what some of those who didnt me and managed to come to the polls, had to say we expect some more development, the same prosperity in the country. And then everything will turn out better for our people. The faith of our country is being decided for 6 years. The president is elected for 6 years, our entire system, the structures of government bodies in our life, in general, is being decided. Everyone should come and vote over to collections or our lights, the president and the people are united or victory depends on the president and the people that i believe that elections are mandatory. That i think that this is one of the most important events for every person, for the citizens of our country. We must take part because the future of russia depends on our voice. We all mom is citizens of russia. I think that the clergy is the advanced layer of our society, so we must actively take part in these events for some young russians, this is the 1st time of the day, and yet to take part in the president ial election for others. Of course, its not seen some veterans of the great petrovic war, casting their ballast with you and seeing the russian members of the crew of the International Space station cast their ballots in the 0 gravity though there was also this interesting incident in one of the point stations where a robot came to, uh, try to take part in the election, but obviously its a machine was denied to do so you represent that itself deal. Its all community said that it didnt have a human id i have. But if the at some point in the future, robots would have the same rights as humans and as russian citizens, then they wouldnt have a problem with them taking place and taking part in the election as well. But i think thats just a humorous. No, wait another, a humorous and creative way to persuade more people to take part in the election because we are talking about the next 6 years of russias political life. Unfortunately, several troubling incidents have been reported in the different parts of the country authorities already in our already investigating them and several criminal investigations are being conducted. Uh, a few people actually forward ink into the bad boxes. One woman tried setting up boiling station on fire by throwing a malls of cocktail in it, but thankfully, no one was injured in that incident and about the boxes were damaged as well. But we have heard now from the head of the whole committee, all up on zillow, who said that this is quite a serious all fence still from those who are the say and from the, from their explanations. It follows that this is coming from abroad. This means some kind of scheme, a connection, these us elements of federalism. They admit that they do this for money, but they said they will be less all that this is just very hooliganism. This is section 141 of the criminal code up to 5 years in prison. This is not ordinary simple hooliganism. Now, im talking about International Attention to be this president ial election, then a 106. 00 countries sent their observers to russia to monitor the vote. I think all in all about 200000 people, including russian citizens and yeah, foreigners are monitoring this election. Lets listen to what some of the for an observer is that what they had to say. I see very friendly people and very, very happy to vote for most of them to read. I expected you to be a beads to be a bit difficult to do all of these process. The selection that youd like to watch and discover these, but it was very peaceful peacefully and then no interruption. My anecdotal, you know, a perception is that people feel excited to vote. I guess the voter turnout so far as the very good with early voting something over 50 percent. Well thats something, you know, people are lined up here at 7 am to vote even though it didnt open till 8. So that says something again, i dont want to draw to be lucians because that wouldnt be fair and i tried it from there. But i certainly did. Things are not as the west. Now in contrast to these comments, so made by some of the international monitors, id like to share with you some of the comments now coming out to from some western officials, many of whom had been saying earlier that they wont be paying attention to the president ial election in russia, calling it a sham or illegitimate. But now it seems some are taking to sarcasm as the last resorts, for instance, the European Council president who said that quote, id like to congratulate vladimir put it on his landslide victory in new york section starting today. No opposition, no freedom, no choice. He wrote this on x, formerly known as twitter, of course, or a policy analyst with the european parliament. Who said that recent changes to rush as a total was make it virtually impossible to conduct any meaningful monitoring and have significantly restricted the role of the media. Well, frankly, i think these 106 countries, which did send their observers to monitor the selection in russia. I think they would disagree so far. We havent seen that any other candidates cast their ballots, but i do think they have a lot on their hands. And plus theres still lots of time to do so of course theres still saturday and sunday, so im sure well be seeing them taking part in the vote as well. But we have seen many senior russian officials, including the 4 minutes elaborate of defense minister showing go cast or about the the heads of the russians regents including the new regions. So basically, all of them are setting an example for all the other russian citizens also to take part in this election. Let me welcome you to another interview. Were going to have here election, observe us who were coming from different parts of the world to witness the history and making election in russia right now and been joined by how much come have been abdullah, meaning hes the political advisor to the minister of finance of militia and hes here, its nice to have you join me right now much. Thank you. My welcome. Now you are in moscow, you have gone round and seen the few uh, process and the election. Can you share with us some of the observations that you have seen so far . I mean, of course might use these very interesting to notes here that i think you have been to some part of the issue, you know, the vice and invite them when its totally different. And of course, you can see this time, what are we have for about the full candidates for these precedents election thats clearly shows that the, the democracy practice is i would say, fostering in russia and define what all i think you will be interesting. Plus, this is the 1st time of the president ial election where the e working system is being implement that i think this is very good. I mean the to us advisement of technology. We tried to utilize and use and maximize whatever means that we have to make sure that the participation of the people in this democratic process is being, you know, you to us, right . Yeah. Now, from your opinion, how important do you think this election is through russia . And now it is, it is very important to make sure that the resar can, you know, progress and move forward to insight to. It will be a part of the important come see the into was to make sure that whatever the things that we have planned and you know, for all this one. And also to make sure that the relationship between russia and other countries. So i would say especially issue ill take example melisha. I think we have been to the to get to refresh you. I mean, since 1967 now its almost 5 that keeps offer, having this loan a relationship. And i think we can for the improve the and make sure that we can do to explore a new opportunity between felicia and russia. Apart from the existing one we have to meet, who will be right back here tomorrow to continue with all of the and dallas is bringing you point by point of what is going on. Have a great today that was like, uh, quotes uh from uh, studio just took off the street from okay. And we also had a child, so speak with the russian for him is hes, im boss of the law as he told us by the votes. Info says out of slide brush on the challenges they face the this, the issue of it in the most currently we have everything prepared abroad for the president ial elections and they are already underway. 288 pulling stations have been established. Unfortunately, there are citizens who would like to behave not exactly like voters, but rather like political, provocative tours, included among them are the so called relax and who have been abroad for a long time and who want to come to the polling stations and organize various protest actions, there are Election Commission members will work directly where the voting will be held and were talking about the presentations themselves. Unfortunately, these people do not understand that they are not only disrupting the work of Election Commissions disrupting the course of elections, but theyre also harm me that theyre state. Unfortunately, they dont understand it or dont want to understand it. They pursue their own goals, of course, and probably fulfilled the political order of their sponsors. These political actions are a drop in the bucket, and they are unlikely to have a serious impact on our electoral process and the country. Well, uh, continues coverage. Oh, the russian relations expert interviews and analysis straight from the honda of most of us each and with us here at o T International the by the 2nd to the middle east is ready. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given a green light for a full scale round the salt on the southern gauze. And the city of rafa, id say, is it really to be the chief marie phenomena as to details . The Prime Ministers Office announced that gave its approval for a ground defensive and rough um and as a software up to 1500000 palestinians currently find refuge. Most of them internally displaced from the facilities in the north. It is not clear exactly when the operation might kick off, but we hear from the idea that preparations are in full swing, is really pushes for the invasion and it says to finish with the militants, the i gf, already killed around 13000 mile spiders. But at least 5000. 00 others, according to israel, i still reported late in the gaza strip and most of them probably hiding somewhere in the south. Israel also claims the right dozens of tunnels and gather the south. But the length of the street with sewing nice for which has wimbeles have mass smuggles north and its money and weapons. So israel says it needs to be destroyed. There are 2 major problems with a rough fall fence. If the 1st is where exactly to evacuate all those 4 gallons from the junction bode well here is what i was planning to establish. So cold humanitarian islands in the center of the street, packed with food, walter, medications, and tense, but a 1500000 people. Will there be enough space and supplies for that . Be fine thing so continues. There is so unclear how equities will provide security for all these palestinians and other issue is the lack of international support. Pedros biggest ally, the u. S. Has repeatedly said it would not back such an in florida, especially if its real doesnt present a solid plan on where to replicate people from the junction border in guys im clearly bombing and firing in such a densely populated area poses many risks earlier. President biden made it clear another 30000. 00 dash would be a red line even for washington. All their allies like germany, for example, voice similar concerns. The german chancellor is arriving in israel on sunday and is expected to try to persuade Prime Minister netanyahu to refrain from rough by invasion if its not yet too late by that time on friday. And is really to dig ation and is set to leave for go home to continue talks with him, ask for guitar remediation. Another reason for announcing the approval of the large scale, how peroration and rough could be an attempt to put to more pressure on him. Us to agree to the deal may 30 states a sense to create a certain cold co. They shouldnt help supply playing with the weapons. And thats according to the joe and john. So theres folk, also a toilet for meeting with the french and police prime is the, im a sort of, i think it should be a problem. Weve agreed on a number of key points. Among other things, we will immediately procure even more weapons for ukraine on the global market. Secondly, the production of military equipment will be expanded also through cooperation with partners in ukraine. 3rd, as part of that, or im starting format, we will establish a new coalition of capable people for a wide range of missile artillery. Shops out there like that guide. The nightclub who cant make a trip to the washroom on his own. He has to drag his whole posse along. They all need to hold each others hands, so no one sticks out as being particularly escal latoria in this conflict. Because as michael said, there quote, continuing, as them done since day one, to never take the initiative of any escalation, were talking here about the same guy who acted like french opposition parties were a bunch of voices if they didnt agree with his idea of sending frank soldiers to crate using the coffee to indulges and for not for the on board that passed. Fantasies against russia. Yeah. Germany sending long range weapons to be used in ukraine talking about sending torres is over there. The 500 kilometer range against russia. And my goal is to staying on sending french troops to oh, we are any kind of a splits where it is at all right. Of course, they can always just conveniently say at some point of their choosing that it was russia, the escalated the conflict. So they just didnt have a voice right now, like they havent already done a bunch of things that they said they absolutely never do in this complex. So at this meeting in berlin with my whole thoughts and post Prime Minister dial task, schultz underscored that the 3 countries are not at work with russia themselves. Oh, excuse us. While we just use this whole conflict as a pretext to ramp up our military Industrial Complex
