The voting is now in full swing and the economic powerhouse.

With a large scale election requires more than a 1000000 posting please to deb of 15000000 workers to obviously itll. Both thing is taking place in many remote areas as well. So some public machines must be carried there on horses and even elephants. The worlds most elevated booth will be located as far up as 4650 meters in the himalayan mountains. And around 18000000 people are voting for the 1st time ever. And we all, some of them about the expectations as a 1st name walter. Steven, obviously i vote for the one who is guiding the me. That if im working for them, whatever theyre seeing before getting elected to david obviously promised to abide by that and david pursued, or those have on my suspicions on the main body would be that megan be off more to the Manufacturing Sector basically. Secondly, i do my Job Opportunities to be created for the new york who they can and dont see pro force. And because theres a lot of intelligence that are pretty much scammed. So that can be divided. I guess, you know, i think theyre good, wonderful job, but i want them to focus more on the health sector. Otherwise, i think everything that we are actually doing fine, i believe, to be moved in education must be. And so for the overall it must break it down fully to main conditions that can pay things well controlled if the countrys parliament on prime ministers posed the National Democratic alliance comprise of 38. 00 parties, is led by the ruling barbara to denounce a policy as incumbent premier no random, nobody on the other side is the Indian NationalDevelopmental Inclusive Alliance consisting of 26 off position policies. Will that block is led by the Indian National congress policy spearheaded by ra, whos gone to well, lets go live and now to our special studio in the hearts of india and capital in new delhi. Our correspondence is waiting for its brendan shawna, is that within latest on the elections . Runjun ive it to you. Thank you, nicky. So of course, so we see all renew daddy. Weve been tracking the special election coverage as now around 6 30 pm local time. The forest ways of the general elections is one, was wrapping up the pool percentage around 60 percent. No, it really is the number the there are 543 falling when freak wants to do and see seats that are at stake and timing this to me, the movie and his Political Party part, the engines, how party they have been saying that they are going to get over 400. 00 seats, all the opinion polls in fact, are pointing towards one direction, which is that this time mr movie has an x, we have a very special guest joining us. Who is going to help us decode, watch indian elections really mean at the end of course the 1st phase. Now mr. Roe, ill be gone for cause shes a senior journalist. What id like to ask you 1st is that 60 percent 4 percent age. It seems good. Do you think that the momentum of the 4 percentage will continue . But if it does, itll be very nice. But the 60 percent is very good. Thats to go up. The more you know, in democracy its very, very important. But its vibrancy far or multiple opinions to come out. Its very important that the percentage of pulling is higher and higher and goes up, you know, so 60 percent is a good average, but its gotta easily be added by 20 percent more as the elections progress. So we left the track, so 2 constituencies they, theres a high average of a thing because we are of a very different con, feasible, is i just do want to see what multiple opinions in multiple opinions and politics of course. And these are general elections or countries. Elections, so i, im a Firm Believer and ive been saying missing seminars, thoughts for you as any, as thats in india because of the diversity just should always be a higher percentage of voting venue and election happen state also. And just for the benefit of, of you was elections overall thinking theres nothing to city but even then like last time, during elections and 92019 we saw People Holding huge numbers. It was the highest over 67 percent. And what the political funded, basically saying is that the trend is going to continue, or what they do want to understand from you, mr. Precaution, is that nobody in the movie is politically faulty to do things. Hes told his story, query his tell him read reading is something new to certain. Would you say . I mean, i would put the i do with it out and thats important. The other way around is because youre not seeing a unified opposition, which every one wanted to see a new, a hopes that it would be the presence of the guidelines. Its not happening. So naturally, if you know, you would, uh, it will be made. That means that space naturally floating it in the movie and that is the atmosphere at the moment. Uh huh. But what im more equally concerned is not. I mean, as i said, well, the has the advantages and doubts about it. But the fact that one huge election is on was, is a countrys election that i filled up for 5 years and hes not in a position. So thats a beautiful. Well, thats good. Exactly. When you go and meet people on the ground, when youve traveled in, in different thoughts of india, thats what people are saying. This is not a movie then who do you think thats a sentiment which is dominant on the rhonda deal. Think that also sort of the natural, mr. Moody, simply because the off position is still weak. Of course it gives an image to him because everybody else, as you said, the same question have not would need. And secondly, hes very, very well done on, on a new vote, which is a very face scheme. What is well done. It. And that credit is entirely, uh, goes to another movie. So there are a lot of things as a games that demanded of questioning. The position has not been convincing. These and this done in this case, i havent gotten into a long way. Street television program. Good news got brings of collapse. I might not think im going to be pretty good news and so condition sticks. Example as long as people got convinced in 2013 and flooded the pond list. Is it that the government and they brought in that in, within 2014. So opposition has dec yours has thats a responsibility to convince you of various wouldnt succeeds to convince he does the avenue i would receive a hearing for a book long so that a lot of bgp is listed in need of a book was on. Would you see that in . Yeah, yeah, really. Being assessed. Yeah. Brittany line and thats also been he read on the side that yeah precise. So what do you see is what i do want to ask you is that the range of all of the hes dealt with on that success. Hes basically going on to see how im doing him under his leadership in deals become the Fastest Growing economy in the world of his largest economy in the world. Do you think that thats not those to the water, even though there is rising unemployment . Thats the reality or cost of living prices, thats the reality. So the argument has been won. India on the global stage is more powerful, but this to you will put you struggling to get you off. I did up problems, as i said. And these problems have not been adequately comprehensively in a unified way, highlighted by the opposition. Mm hm. Okay, thats the problem. Number one, there is not in the movie, has created a book, it, you know, why didnt escaping the global success on economic fun, on this going to the poor and claiming success on the say schemes. So you look at the range that hes getting. So hes not just doing one story then of course there is a that on monday, which is a really, which actually been completed by maybe 2028. But hes use that very effectively to keep the score and the approval to the to get it. So hes, hes a just different aspects in different ways and kind of created a call out. Yeah, there are Serious Problems as far as economy is concerned, unemployment is concerned with the owners was on the opposition to kind of is not the kind of people that are really convinced you see that as the results. But at the moment, movies, boston is full of achievements, which are sticking to the c panel is obviously using the boss, katie oil, which he wins to basically reach out to the wall fills the water is more or less seem convinced. If you look at all the premium poles and if you look at all the data which is coming out of political funded, so uh in, in, in the, in the book that basically points out to one detection that in the range movie is coming out of stronger as ever, yes, the opposition is trying, does a collision of about a 2000 and opposition parties. But at the end of the day, wed have to wait to the 4th of june to the very last world has gone through to know who is going to lead india for the next 5 years. Thank you very much. Thank you. Linda and many thanks for that. Im loving these interviews and also like in the view as well. I believe behind you. Thats the roster policy but found the official residents solve the president s in new delhi next. Absolutely. Fantastic. Thank you for now runjun or wait closely watching the events unfolding and india as hundreds of millions of citizens take to the polls to choose the next latest on. You can always, i to our website onto dot com for the full schedule of the election, as well as more details on the analysis of the ongoing boats to make sure we do stay with the terminology internationals throughout the day on the coming weeks. As we continue to bring you all the special coverage of india is parliamentary elections that were run until the well to a developing story. And from now where police have detained a man who was reports of these threatening to detonate a suicide bomb. After locking himself in a building or was it the rainy and close to that empowers . Theres no words about the suspects motives or the amounts of those points. Local Authorities Say im on, were seeing early this morning and to bring the grounds of the rainy and clumsy. Lets reportedly carrying an explosive device. The area has been cordoned off by police. The locals arent being evacuated. We will of course, keep you fully updated to go down all sorts be cities, the foreign minister. So like a lot of i said his take on the stand off between moscow and the west and an interview to a select few leading russian to boston journalists, sons on these edits when shes marguerite system on young, was among them. Gosh, busy with solution adds up the every day we have from the west is that they will not come down until russia is strategically defeated. And every day, more and more does threaten become as it was mundane, more and more terrible to everyone tells us. Johnson and the others that if we dont win on the battlefield on waste, any cost, this will put an end to the head, germany of the west, which means and navy, the west in general as it is under most it will smells like a big pool. I do not know what Nuclear Weapons and they will smell like god forbid i find out. What do you think about it . Is there such a prospect of where you will get to those . Right, and its doing good. This reflects not so much of religion to attitude as agony and hysteria. Theyre not hiding it anymore. They quoted johnson cassette that you for a blood pressure. When would be the end of our head gemini used as well. But this is just send that to you in, in an International Court of justice, guilty of violating the main principal of the un charter on the sovereign equality of state. And i think the International Court of justice should Pay Attention to this. There are a lot of statements in the same thing. We lose our influence in russia. Well work with china around north korea and syria to make this work. This does not reflect ourselves south, but quite the contrary. Reflects our understanding of what is going on. They call it a battle to preserve their had germany no longer shining away from them. But this is simply the formation of a new multiple or will order an equal view, just democratic world or the if you live in the city. Lets get more online, falls into view. Now lets bring it onto corresponding to say, but we say many things become again, so it wasnt expensive in the wasnt almost 2 hours long. I think just break it down for is, would you please . Yeah, a huge interview and its great to get this insight from russias top. Diplomats, you know, hes a veteran, hes a heavy weight and when levels speaks the worlds diplomats and governments, they sit up and listen. That he started his career back in 1972 over 50 years ago in shall lanka, by the way. Its based on the speak. Numerous language includes a single these french. So this is a man who has been around the block and he has a unique view if you liked the global chessboard. And one of the 1st things that the journalist asked him of that, of course, was ukraine. And one of the central points they wanted to know more about was why did piece talks breakdown in ukraine very soon after the start of the military operation of a 2 to 3 weeks afterwards. At peace talks for on the table, there was thoughts in bella rush. There was talked in stumble now and that the talks were progressing. And he was asked of, it was a russias priorities were on the talks. And he mentioned that, you know, discriminatory laws against motions in eastern your brain and dumbass on that claim the, it would be removed and that russias security interest in the region would be removed. He also suggested that russia and china wants to guarantee those talks. And at this stage the ukrainians began to pull back, and he also is categorical in suggesting that it was the u. K. And the United States who range you playing in if you like. When this conflict could have ended very soon after it started, it seems that uh, the russians are adamant that the, it was the western powers who pulled you clean away from negotiating table. Absolutely fascinating. Still sticking to some of this is this, lets, lets show up. First, lets talk about what goals and why and what terms are ready to negotiate with the 1st of all, as theyre present constantly reminds us, we always prefer negotiations, defies and awards. And yes, we had experience, we mediately agreed with ukrainians, realizing that they were playing with the bombing of done boss and with the promotion of direct methods of genocide against the russians on their own territory. And they offered negotiations 2. 00 to 3. 00 weeks after the start of a special military operations to which we agree. There were several tours, but as well known in belarus that online and finally we arrived at east temple where your trainings put their proposals on the table for the 1st time youve had some discussion of these proposals were accepted, they also contained an obligation to refuel National Laws to discriminate against minorities, especially russian ones, and to cancel support for movements. The glorified and relied on the ideal of nazis and were condemned by the newer and book tribes and working down by the november tribunal. As for the territorial side of the matter, just the day before yesterday, for in the 1st published such memoirs. But they are very, very clearly aimed at just to find themselves. Ill explain why now, for in the 1st world that the United States and frequent details of landscape not to sign but allegedly not because they wanted to continue the world with the hands of the ukrainians and exhaust professionally federation. And so for i get a new and split the custody, solve the clarity. There was an option on the table rush just door was open and that was the spiner was thrown in, if you like, by the western powers. But also the rush is going to continue its military operation is going to stick to its goals. And Everybody Knows now that the tide is turned in, rushes favor insignificant way economically, politically, that the west is getting toward making. It does make you think that doesnt it, it how many lives and the suffering that could have been saved if those pay stubs how that works out for them anyway, to a positive note. Now because the levels i spoke about of the pond as bushes, partners, people, uh, countries that they do have a good relationship. Mm hm. Yeah, absolutely. And one of those key partners, of course, is china join us the back to back. But russia since early on its refused to implement sanctions. Its refused to play the game that the west has demanded to do so. And interesting, the associate level of also mentions china is a suggestion around a piece plan for ukraine. He also says that russia is amenable to that plan, and thats the key reason that russia sees the chinese view point as more realistic and as a more pragmatic view on the solving the problems in your plan is that the china has a pragmatic view that a history has to be considered and, you know, geostrategic reality. The fact that russia and ukraine have got links going back at hundreds and hundreds of years, the populations anything you find the claim it the reality. The real politics of the situation has to be recognized as the chinese view. I think that was absolutely fascinating. Thats all the listen. The just on this is the chinese positions which we respect. 2nd, february, last year they formulated their 12 points and now schultz went to Seasoned Team and not very decently set. That session pin supports the peace conference in switzer with the chinese position is that we must 1st understand the root causes of the crisis. It is necessary to abandon the mentality of the cold war when we considered each other opponents sentiments. Officials who is necessary to clear a subscribe to the need to look for solutions. Definitely take into account the balance of interest in the people of security and ensure the indivisibility of security. This is a completely different approach. China, the lady statement, administer vangee and other colleagues, and we also advocate the cleaning or conference that will be acceptable to russia and ukraine. This means that we must not start with the last these formulas to be move decide if they want to. This is the great quality of the chinese people, the patients. Yes, they have global and vision, so thats were short of a position in between has some forward several initiative, the initiative of a common destiny of mankind, where it is necessary for everyone to sound. Ill develop common principles coming approaches for philadelphia. So again, realism, im just an honesty here from so like i love you can see it when hes speaking and that, you know, theres some dismay, almost in, in russia that you know, that on realistic plans for peace of being put on the table. How can you negotiate a piece in a conflict and not ask one side of the conflict within . Its ludicrous, but the chinese view is that the west east abandoned this cold war rhetoric, which is something that they dont seem to be able to do nicky. And absolutely fine, it is, and then face of why its about china trying to have a long memory. And its still so very thoughtful in his approach. I like perhaps some question partners, what did life have to say . Well, this was also very interesting. And again, the sense of frustration was evident that while russia is betrayed to somebody that does that one piece, i mean, even on the global stage its, its russia thats looking for the escalation in the middle is the escalation when it comes to play one on actually destination and ukraine, as you can see, there were willing to attend the talks, but it was the west of pulled. You train away from those thoughts. He described the western leaders as in some ways, you know, absolutely obsessed with this conflict. This idea that they can inflict a strategic defeat on russia. And the reality is, of course, that thats not going to well on that economic stage. The i m f. A said the rush is going to be one of the, on the economies thats going to grow at the bottom. The field russia is achieving its goals. And also he does describe people like my crohn. As you know, a militant, he described people like fonder liners being the most energetic sort of advocates of this war. And that they will, under any circumstances, try to convince their populations of their voters to keep fully more money into the conflict property. Because they dont really see a way out of it at this stage. Absolutely. Remarkable. So for some of this is a do, theres the presidio gave extra rich a question. Lets go back to you were kind of explain this extreme hysteria. There were simply no other words to choose telling your pin countries that russia is about to attack the recess. Your threats. What do you think if i do what the, what the stake. But um, i believe it is, you could say a paranoia and forget about it. But this, in my opinion, is more cunning slammed. It desperately need to get money out of their appointments to continue the war. The United States a can see how they have already cooled down. I dont know how the world will and now the drama this weekend on the consideration of 3 different bills, including on the crate. But now the most sell us wants to advocate the continuation of bumping ukraine with money and weapons. Are the routines. Charles, for example, who considered himself a leader in providing assistance to ukraine. Emma crohn is militants and all the small countries, the baltic states, the Czech Republic here. Hey, mr. Estates, satellites for the state satellites . Yes, there are several considerations here. Firstly, youre being union believes that it has already all these burrell sholtes or as what wonder line there already. So on the crew slew roots and in general have an old ready cut of hole past declares that frustrates anatomy, that it must be destroyed. Not allowed to win to save you create. They will just be finished as politicians. If they change this rhetoric, the opposition will catch them right there. Secondly, they need to get money to explain why theyve already deprived their population of cheap gas cheap pipeline oil. Why price of jump y d industrialization is taking place as a result of sanctions . German concerns are already going to move their production to the United States or china as has happened under shows, shows accompanied by businessman not to have some mutually beneficial projects, but in order to agree on moving one, transferring their production to the peoples republic of china and even from their point of view, the conferences the cause like they all have a choice in a month to 3 fourths or national elections, to the European Parliament and in a huge number of you countries. But i think the opposition will not miss the chance in any case, to show what their policy has led to in terms of social economic consequences. But if they suddenly stop, this story is about our plans through tech net owns but the if the suddenly stopped the source about our plans through the tech nato now, then the hope is to scare the voters and continue this course of business. So again, fascinating language, interesting language, and you can see the exasperation that you know, the west is essentially decided that russia is the enemy, rocher can only say in the attempt a can never be sent against in ukraine or anywhere else for that matter. But also a sense that russia is pragmatic, that the door is open for peace negotiation, but those no ghost negotiations have to except, and realize russias legitimate security concerns. And the read me yeah, one thing you have to appreciate its about us like a lot of it just tells it how it is. Doesnt a so many thanks for coming in and breaking that down for as i saw these, its a bugs in iran, the countries presidencies defending laws such as a strikes video to the games today as well. And retaliations with deadly foaming off. The radian consulate in damascus. I problem, right . So he says his countrys response was a vital show of force. Now maybe your visa duration became a sign of the top of the slunk republic and these armed forces. The visa move was necessary probably between any fun and the soles of tribes and pop of our great country. Very well. That statement comes and made report 7 alleged they is really attack on iran, a spokesman for a radian civil space programs. I use 3 drawings with shot down, or if i is the 150, which is 9 for hosting nuclear sites. And were all this being bracing for launch scale is way they were suppose one week ago, the islamic republic, lowest hundreds of drones. And miss sounds that as well. Which claims that to have salts most which is row claims to have salt. Most of them down earlier on april 1st and asked why killed 16 people at the a rainy and consulates in the syrian capital as well initially denied responsibility. But later in directly admitted it had targeted the building that make it. So if theres a military base for coordinating homicide operations following gets retaliation to that, this hack iran said its ready to hit back with much greater force if any of its Nuclear Facilities are a tax by the id f, as well as main. I live the west is now quoting for the escalation. Were committed to israel security. Were also committed to de escalate to trying to bring this tension to a to a close. We spoke to political analyst on visiting professor at wrong university, so he to solve a reset that around itself is not interested in further escalating the situation. And i think these lilies are strictly speaking, are not in the position to conduct such attacks in the office of the statement that they are making. But lets just keep in mind that by the costs of fall and that question. But lets just keep in mind. Iran does not, is not interested. Thats all in further escalation of the situation and has said that because for several times for several reasons is really are not going to do so. I think the 1st the previous attack, the retaliates move on was limited. But the next its happened is not going to be that limited. Its going to be certainly extended as was to retaliate to be attacked was part of eros capacity. But the, to around have been saying that this thing to use full options uh, full range of choices between, okay, lets say capacity of its me size and drawers and not to do is transfer you boxes to respond is any attack takes place. And for the last attack, if you remember the cost of those outside that these really is conducted into some nearly 2 weeks if im not mistaken to respond. But youre honest saying that this time to respond is going to be immediate. And last but not the least, iran has already tested the defense capabilities of these really. So there is some experience and these are, these are in there that there are also state of the Art Technology and in the rose massage. So with that said, i think only known and they are saying that they have the same tension to target a significant places in a run, including that size or other no fear size, but whether or not to expect to be translated into action remains to be seen and it still looks very vague. A great to have you with us here at all. See international this friday coming up next week at the latest episode of inland visions. And i thought with more needs that this hopefully how the space has always captured humanities imagination. I mean, lets fix it, space is cool. For only the chosen few are able to head beyond the, the earths atmosphere. It takes years of preparation to actually take on that final frontier. Space training pushes that the human abilities limits to the very edge. So who are the super heroes of today . Lets get to know them a little better. The every comes about japan starts here in shows me go to doc or star city, the learning to operate a spacecraft reading other g forces. Moving in 0 gravity working in outer space and even coping with long term isolation. All this is taught with the help of flying labs centrifuges, hydro labs, and a lot more space is closer than you think. The cosmos and tone is a veteran of for space flights. He knows better than any one house
