For someone who has just won a record fourth term as Prime Minister shaikh has seen it has kept a low profile her party reportedly told supporters not to celebrate their lopsided victory on monday she dismissed allegations of vote rigging the mission listeners are totally free i mean independent no doubt. This comes amid mounting concern over voter intimidation there were reports of voters forced to cast their ballot openly in front of Ruling Party Officials but the Electoral Commission dismissed these as stray incidents yet several voters told about intimidation at the polls. One man who wishes to remain anonymous says a voting official took his thoughts an ink the ballot that had already been filled out for him without his permission. It was. Experience it was deep and if you want to experience and. Actually if you like you can to express whatever you feel right the moment but i just feel like i was. There somewhere and an expert on bangladeshi politics described the effects of intimidation on a generation of young people who had never voted before. Young people expected but there are some reports that so this is this is a this not very good for. During the campaign the opposition said thousands of its members had been arrested for political reasons. And Opposition Leader khaled at c. N. N. Has been in jail since february. But shaikh has seen a says the opposition would have done the same if they had been in charge and shes the one leaving the country now for a record third time in a row. And our correspondent Michele Jaiswal standing by for us in the capital dhaka sonia misha is this election victory for she has you know and her party will have those reports of their regularities sow triumph. Well Sheikh Hasina has come and daughterly confident she has came this victory and has claimed a position as a representative of the beat bush she says the vote was entirely free and fair and that bangladesh has voted to reject the policies and the stance of the opposition this means of course of the says longest this is the longest serving democratically elected Prime Minister of bangladesh but thats where the question lies washee democratically elected Opposition Leaders do not think so and media reports as well as water accounts and Fortune Media would also speak to the contrary but the Sheikh Hasina lead of army lead government is not batting an eye right as you mentioned there are a lot of confidence there from shay has seen about how widespread are these charges that the vote wasnt free and fair and indeed could they need to a new election while multiple media reporters said that they will solve stuffed ballot boxes while on field guest of the and the accounts of social media especially jotting be of course heard from the water whove just played out right now but there are also stories like one district where they have a mall boards for the lead they have on the lead dam that actually illegitimately borders we also had another story where one water said that he cost his water for the communist party but in his aunts to do unseat there was zero votes for the cons of the communist party he asked so where did my will to go but when it comes to you lection the Election Commission us come out today they are supposed to be the ones investigating any claims of a regulated days but then we have a Statement Today that there is going to be no do you lection chicas you know we continue to hold body. Nevertheless though i mean those are some serious allegations from witnesses and with that in mind i mean how much bangladeshis feeling about these charges of irregularities are they angry. But bond of issues are definitely angry at us for what we are showing on the ground but more importantly bonga the issues are scared theyre not coming out openly and coming out in protest or trying to challenge this election in a more open way than hidden force on social media or speaking amongst their friends and this is actually also crucial to why there wont be a reelection back in ninety six it was actually shit because the not in opposition who actually managed to push through or you lection with the bait with a similar claims to what the opposition is making right now but then she had a massive fall for party and the Peoples Movement this time he will not see that you know right now Misha Jaiswal reporting for us from dhaka thank you very much lets take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world u. S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has taken a key step towards running for president twenty twenty the democrat from massachusetts has formed an Exploratory Committee shes had several run ins with President Donald Trump who scored her pocahontas pointing to doubts about her claims of having native american roots words. At least three people are dead and dozens of missing following an explosion in an Apartment Building in russia the blasts in the nine story block in the city of magnitude course cup and early in the morning when many residents were still asleep was arties believe it was caused by a gas leak. Security forces in sudan have fired tear gas at protesters who were planning to march on the president ial palace antigovernment demonstrators want Omar Al Bashir to step down crowds gathered in the capital khartoum and confronted by riot police who brought the march. Now to a tense wait in congo as the votes from sundays president ial election there are counted millions of people took part in an event that could see the first peaceful transfer of power in decades but questions over its fairness of mounting with accusations of delays irregularities especially in opposition areas. Voters in many parts of congo returns to polling stations today to study lists of initial results posted outside provisional nationwide results and not to out for another week day was plagued by technical problems and allegations of vote rigging. I dont think the elections were credible too many people found their names want on the electoral lists they were told to go to other centers and even there they didnt find their names so as a result many didnt get to vote so. Scenes like this one in the matter district of conscious are were not uncommon long lines formed as Voting Machines malfunctioned seriously that weve been here since this morning and its dark already but were here and we will vote on. The National Conference of catholic bishops deployed thousands of observers across the country they reported numerous problems but declared the vote overall relatively calm. And to undertake any other action that guarantees the transparency of the process. As vote counting got into way across one of africas largest countries the significance of the election was clear this could be congos first peaceful transition of power since it gained independence from belgium in one thousand nine hundred sixty long time leader Joseph Kabila is stepping down after nearly eighteen years at the helm. Opposition candidate martin for you though is considered one of the front runners he and others allege the vote was fraudulent with wreaked machines. Emanuel known as diary is president to be preferred successor a former interior minister hes on the European Union sanctions for violent repression of protests there are no fear is that violence could return to congo particularly if the candidate is declared the winner. He doesnt use the candid joins us on the line from the congolese capital kinshasa now and if you we understand that votes are still being counted at this stage and yet both the Ruling Coalition and the opposition a claiming victory how are people where you are reacting to that. Everybody thinks theyve theyve won i think firstly theres a very strong some optimism among voters people have waited for seven years for this election its two years later the constitution allowed. I was Walking Around in my house today and everyones talking excitedly about who they voted for and sure enough that you think. Ive spoken to lots of people and so far im yet to meet anybody who voted for sudar. President kabila two hundred success im going to as you say you seem confident yesterday you said i will be the president of the republic. There will be we will see any of you but of course with that in mind i mean one has to ask the question whether the opposition actually stands a chance against president could be his protege dari. Sadly i dont think the opposition do stand much of a chance the whole campaign has been massively raked in favor shit are you he has the backing of the state for example and an opposition candidates running amok and tell you to. The police started firing at the coaches three people were killed and then as a result his rally was banned in contrast them two of the areas in the east of the country were banned from voting the Computer Security minute break and those two areas. Are also Opposition Strongholds so i think that if the vote comes through and the opposition has won i think your action will be invalidated noted all over again. And we also understand the internet was cut across the country apparently to prevent speculation about the results as the move worked how people reacted to that. As you say the internet was cut off at about midmorning today. People people were posting messages on social media about how they were and happy about they went how some balika wasnt free and fair and i think there is a reaction in the internet because people are reacting its difficult i mean its difficult to communicate because its such a huge country and such a huge city can just forty Million People the internet is crucial for communicating and without the internet its definitely much more difficult for people to share messages and news to spread people or groups but theres nothing really you can do you just have to wait for it to come back on again they did this in twenty seven june and it was off for two and a half days so no one knows when theyll be online again. All right. And in contrast the good to talk to thanks. Now in yemen the latest cease fire between Government Troops and who the rebels is holding and its hope that this will bring relief to the population millions of whom are suffering from starvation but an investigation by the Associated Press has found that much of that aid arriving in yemen ends up in the wrong hands the United NationsWorld Food Program has also said today that its food is being stolen. Goods on sale at a market in yemen desperately needed wheat and cooking oil a closer inspection shows these products come from the United NationsWorld Food Program and Charity Groups aid that should have been given away after nearly four years of war. Twenty nine Million People getting enough food. And then we came here they wrote down our names but they didnt give us anything they gave to other people but nothing to us they left us without anything in the. Large volumes of aid have been flowing into yemen donors sent more than four billion dollars worth in twenty eighteen but the u. N. Says it can only track twenty percent of the deliveries observers say who the rebels are blocking or diverting aid some of the food goes to their own troops or resold on the black markets. This is a it is not present on the ground it has no direct impact. On the contrary the more years pass the worse the situation becomes especially in the areas controlled by the who things were seeing very painful pictures. To who fees were due to hand over control of the whole day to ports under a peace deal recently negotiated in sweden but the u. N. Says rebels are failing to fully on of their agreements the residents of her data are still waiting for relief. Or data has become a city of ghosts its an empty city because of the war see Jenna Gresham prices have become very high and a crazy way.

The gay should by the Associated Press also found problems with a distribution in areas controlled by the Yemeni Government and its the weakest who are suffering the most unicef says some four hundred thousand yemeni children aged under five are at risk of death from malnutrition. As the here draws to a close its time for us to take a look back and the correspondents have followed reports from all over the wall the bout personal fates political crises disasters but theyve also given us stories that encourage us that touch us and make us think and heres one from moscow where the force appears to be strong thats right the russian capital is home to the worlds first light Saber Fighting School.
