Police in hong kong have arrested 7 prodemocracy politicians on charges related to a Legislative Council meeting more than 5 months ago the group is accused of contempt and obstructing a session. Also the turkish president visited earlier one has visited the site of a collapsed building in the city of his near following fridays powerful earthquake at least 51 people were killed. An election is taking place in moldova were voters are deciding between candidates who favor closer ties with either the e. U. Or russia president igor dawn is the moscow frontrunner hoping to win a 2nd term so you go you go has more from the capital which is not. A last minute quest to chase every possible vote the frontrunner and current president eagled on hold over is a country of traditional values and should remain within russias sphere of influence a populist championing family and strong ties with other nations now don has been leading in the polls despite not having taken part in any debates what he has is the support of the countrys mass media heavily backed by members of his own party the socialists as well as a ringing endorsement from russias president vladimir putin. Following closely is the former Prime Minister meyer sandow who wants to shift away from russian dominance were trying to unite people of course we share the values because we believe in democracy we believe in human rights we believe in Economic Opportunities for everybody and we do see the european model of development as the most suitable from all over whats at stake 2 different visions for moldovas future voters opt for change and decide if they want stronger ties with the west or with a stick with what they already have and remain under moscows influence. But many here are skeptical that either candidate can improve their lives. Personally i dont believe any of the candidates their actions important for the young people and put those who in the Better Future for themselves for america to this moment if the people come to power and not corrupt and wont be traitors who bring the country down then we have a chance to do something good for. The sometimes bitter campaigns have been fought amid allegations of potential voter fraud and russian interference one place of concern say election observers is the breakaway region of transnistria an area recognized as an independent state by russia but not moldova and a bedrock of support for don it has been beset by allegations of vote rigging in favor of the socialist party of course russia would do whatever it takes to make sure that secure and continue their. Influence over population and over over the leadership of this country there is also the question of the economy and migration moldova is one of the poorest countries in europe with a population of 2700000 people more than a 1000000 have emigrated for work and their remittances account for 16 percent of the nations g. D. P. But the country is betting on is strong alliances with other nations willing to support it with a light to the east or west is what the people will decide. Joins me now. I mean often we talk about whats at stake for these former soviet nations in 2020 i mean what seems to be the main issue considering you know were talking normally about the economy you mentioned migration in your report health and of course 19 has become really a global issue. Yes and really when we talk about east versus west that very much counts here because when you consider that moldova is a former its an x. State as well its still wrestling very much with those other issues that other former soviet states ex soviet states would have in this day and age but really what is the main thrust of peoples concerns is in fact the economy issues such as migration corruption as well is also another really important issue one of the reasons why so many moldovans feel they have to leave the country and try and find work elsewhere or simply there arent enough opportunities here or that simply corruption is too endemic in the system for them to be able to establish successful businesses to be able to conduct without any into for their businesses about any interference a toll and that brain drain has been very damaging for the country because of course it is mainly young people who are leaving the country therefore you have here an aging population not as able to work therefore contributing far less to the economy and it is inevitably the younger generations who are working abroad who are contributing to the moldova an economy so together that as well as trying to look forward to what kind of country does want to be does it still want to continue under the influence of moscow or does it see itself as being part of an integrated of a closer integration with the European Union and all the values that that represents. Family but events through the day certainly those results for the french is not for the moment thank you.
