To be rising with a lot of damage in southern lebanon. So this is fire data, which has been compiled by aurora tech. Theyre a german based company who use satellites, which have special Infrared Sensors that monitor for Temperature Anomalies and help detect wildfires, which they then usually report to Forestry And Firefighting services. In this case, theyre using the very same tech to analyse the situation in lebanon. And here are those areas in lebanon for the 23rd of september, latest weve got, which indicate possible damage caused by israeli strikes as well as fires down in israel near the sea of galilee. Now, its important to note we havent independently verified that strikes took place at all of these locations. But if we take this data and we use it as a guide, we can start to pick out individual areas and zone in on satellite imagery. So, 12th of september, before this really got started, in a small town of about 7500 people, and this is the same place on the 24th of september,
Would disagree and would say that this poll is neither free nor fair nor transparent. Vladimir putin does not face a major challenge. There are three other candidates on the ballot paper, but his most vocal critics, his fiercest opponents, are either in exile or in prison, which kind of helps you to win what we expect to be a landslide. There have been reports that Public Service workers have been strongly encouraged to come out today on day one of this election, to cast their votes. I mean, there are so many things to say about this election. Vladimir putin dominates the airwaves, dominates the screens, on russian television, much more than any other candidate. So it will be no surprise, i think, when he is eventually declared the winner. Here in the uk, the conservatives are under fresh pressure over ties to a party donor at the centre of a racism row. The party has refused to confirm, or deny, reports that the donor has reportedly given more money to the party, than was known public

If no candidate wins more than 50 in the first round. But with many of mr putins opponents unable to run, it seems inevitable that Vladimir Putin will be re elected without the need for that second ballot. Our russia editor, steve rosenberg, is following developments in moscow. Vladimir putin has been in power a long time, right, 25 years almost as president or Prime Minister. And hes expected to win a fifth president ial term. Now, this whole event, this three day event, which starts today, is being presented by the russian authorities almost as a celebration of democracy. The kremlin just a few days ago described russian democracy as the best democracy in the world. Critics of the kremlin would disagree and would say that this poll is neither free nor fair nor transparent. Vladimir putin does not face a major challenge. There are three other candidates on the ballot paper, but his most vocal critics, his fiercest opponents, are either in exile or in prison, which kind of helps you to
