But are counter attack and suffer. Heavy losses must go, says nearly 200 of us troops were killed in the box, trade and a number of their tags for destroyed the coming to live from lots to do. This is our to international with the top stories from all across the world. Im few rela isabel, welcome to the program and breaking news just in 20 palestinians have been killed and many others are wounded in central gaza. Thats after. And it was an idea of how the comforter attacked the enclave. Cells, ministry reports. Israel has denied any responsibility and has urged the public to rely on what they say are credible sources. We heard from some of those on the ground around 11 30 pm on his way to talk to him. Basically as we are waiting for these invitation, paid according to gods administrative health, they have and also said theres thousands of casualties delivered. Ill ship a hospital due to this attack and theres hundreds of entries also. And its very necessary to mention that this is the 1st time where theres one in the army targeted palestinians who are awaiting payment. And they just have a similar effect. Cost 6 kinds of teams and thousands of injuries. As you have just heard from my colleague and guys, uh, according to guys, a health ministry. Dozens of people have been killed and more than 150 others injured in attack when a crowd of palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid as reported. The deadly incident happened in the northern parts of the gas. A sweeping gas, a c t. A cool way to round about these plays is known as a distribution point where age trucks come on the wrong. The probably seen in ministry blames israel for the attack as being the number of victims may rise, as ambulances still struggle to reach to the area of the attack. Some unconfirmed reports also say an idea of how they coped or opened fire on gases waiting for the critical supplies. But this information is really hard to be verified. Right now we also receive on very fine to be to allegedly, from the ground showing dead bodies covered in dust and sewed. But again, its hard to verify this video and hard to tell from the footage where when 8 was short, the idea of dismissed all the reports about the attack on people waiting for humanitarian aid as falls, calling on media to rely on credible information only with humanitarian crisis now unfolding the palestinian clave, the un says famine is imminent across the gases trip. Relieve supplies. Arrival is always, understandably a big event and a lot of people usually gather at the point where critically needed food and water supposed to be distributed at an age. Unfortunately sometimes becomes dangerous last month they want a similar result on a crowd as palestinians who gathered on the sheets streets also in guys a c t waiting for food distribution, the Palestinian Health industry and have mass then blamed israel for the dead. They attacked the claim to more than 100 lives hours later. The idea for these, the statements, same casualties were in dozens, and most victims were trampled or run over a k is as crowd store on the trucks that we do for those that we then were receiving from the ground. So it was given a different picture later, the army admits of the troops, deed fire, at warning shots in the air, an opening fire on several gallons, who moved toward soldiers and a tank at an idea of check point and danger, and troops and the army also said then that they was limited fire were following the story and verifying the information as we receive it. So well bring you the latest updates as they come in. Stay tuned. And polls have officially opened, and russia and the citizens on friday are lining up and passing the roads in the president ial election. R t will be here, every step of the way with our special coverage. The now the vast expanse of the nation covers 11 time zones. Russian citizens from the far east were the 1st to cast their ballots. As voting is now under way footed from the volcano late in land of cum chuck gush shows locals as they picked their next president , russia, central election commission, chair woman share these encouraging words. Especially with my mother on the thank you very much. First of all, to the residents of come, child got into good guy who came to vote for understanding the significance of participation in such an important event. Im grateful that all of us together together, we are a force and we wrote for russia ahead of the election. Vladimir putin has a dress, the nation calling on every russian citizen to take part. Because every vote counts it was really make it has been new. I see this will be the 8th time russians vote in the president ial election, which proves our countrys commitment to one of the fundamental principles of Democratic Society and the regularity of elections. The outcome of this election will shape russias evolution and growth for years to come. It is a historic event and a moment of great responsibility. The only source of power in our country is its people. A fundamental principle thats enshrined in russias constitution. Its core meaning is that you and only you, the citizens of russia can decide the future of your homeland. You are about to cast your vote. And in doing that, declare firmly and resolutely your will, your aspirations and your personal commitment to the continued development of our shared home. I am sure that you recognize just how powerless this time is for our country, and what difficult challenges lie ahead of us in almost every direction to continue to meet them with dignity and overcome these hardships, we need to remain united and remember our inner strength. We must show our unity and determination to march on together. Every vote is valuable in every vote matters. So i urge you to exercise your right to vote in the coming days. Our country is massive, but polling stations will be open on every corner in every city, town, and village. When you may take up with you, but i split. So aside from putting hor, the other contenders in the race. Blood is loved the bunk of age from the up and coming new people party at 39. And a former businessman, hes claiming to be the young, fresh phase russia needs. Don golf recently met with International Observers who will monitor the elections despite his political party. Having only recently appeared on the russian political scene, he emphasized that he has a big team assembled to observe the voting process, to make sure its free and fair. The transmission of course, we expect that the elections will be held at a high organizational level. And i know high Important International participation is that includes observations which will be organized here starting tomorrow, theyll be computers. And observers, observers will also be working into regions primarily in areas where there are no cameras. Most of the polling stations are equipped with cameras. So a large team of volunteers will also monitor the progress of the elections online. And next step we have nikolai had a donald from the communist party, a parliamentary veteran. Hes been a familiar face in the world of politics for over 3 decades. In fact, he was runner up when he lasted for president in 2004 on a burning electoral issue ukraine. He says there can be no more. Goodwill gestures generally colored somebody. And you officially given the current public regime and ukraine, which was planted by western europe, i perfectly understand the population of ukraine. They are ready to agree by and large to do anything to stop the fighting. So much. Recently, both for administer, lover of and the president of our country have repeatedly stated that we are ready to sit down at the negotiating table. But on russias terms, there is no other option. And finally, leo needed slootsky who leads the liberal democratic party. He is currently pulling at around 3 percent. He was also actually a member of the russian delegation api is symbol peace talks with ukraine. Back in the spring of 2022, his campaign has been driven by social issues like tax cuts and tackling inflation. Yes, the address if we described the russia of the future as we see it, it will be a comfortable country where you can not worry about safety driving normal roads without traffic jams and not freeze at home in winter because the Management Companies work well. It is a fair country where all Citizens Rights are respected and all social guarantees are realized where there are no poor people. This is a great country that is respected by everyone in the world. It has formed a new global majority in the world of replacing the anglo saxon regime centered in washington, and putting an end to the dispute over what the world order should be. It will be multi polar. The cost like a new crane, is a pivotal factor for Many Russians and likely to weigh on the outcome of the elections. Its also impacted the incumbent president stance toward western powers. Archie is marina post that ever has been looking at how glad i am your pollutants attitude towards them has changed throughout his time in charge. A lot of my post and it became ross as president for the 1st time. It was a breath of fresh air and not only for russians, it look good and for on this thing of the beginning with the west appearance, a welcome rush. As near later i have come to moscow important time. Russia, after all, has a new president , a new government, a new duma. Its economy is showing encouraging signs of growth. This gives russia a pivotal opportunity to build on the strong record of engagement between our 2 countries. It is also an opportunity for the united states. I welcome president clintons interest in building a russian that enjoys the enduring strength of a stable democracy. They evidently like what he had been saying and they were eager to engage for some boots and went on to define. His vision is only the west had less than instead they went on to prove that they only support those who follow them blindly. Yeah, he found the name of the social of democratic principles in international relations. The ability to find the correct decision and readiness for compromise on a difficult thing. But then it was a european who was the 1st to understand how important it is to look for consensus over and above national egoism. We agree with that. All these are good ideas. It seemed just recently that a truly common home would shortly rise on the continent. Home in which the europeans would not be divided into east and west and northern or south. And today we must say one thing for all the cold war is done with we have entered a new stage of development. We understand that without a modern sound and sustainable security architecture, we will never be able to create an atmosphere of trust on the continent. And without that atmosphere of trust, there can be no united, great or europe pack that a lot of our puts in the most optimistic about russias relationship with the west. Well see what he had to say about this assessments in hindsight. But for now, lets say in the early 2, thousands, thats when the russian lead or even consider joining forces with natal. I see a russia, shes part of the european culture. And i cannot imagine my own country and Nice Solutions of some stuff from europe. And what we often call the civilized world. So it is hard for me to visualize janitta as an enemy. I think even posing the question this way will not do any good to russia or the world. The very question is capable of causing damage to be enough. We are open to equitable cooperation partnership, some even joe biden as senator app thats fine. Most singing his praises saying that no russian leader since peter the great has passed as long as lots with the was as boots and it has. Well, it was all good as long as rushes leaders didnt interfere in international affairs. It seems. Well, the warsaw pact long dissolves and soviet era basis clothes must go well, seemingly playing along and was expected as partners to do the same. Washington however, continued to expand, nato, withdrew from the and so ballistic missile, pretty well innovating. Ive gotten this done before it moved on to iraq. Well, experts say that was the turning point. Russells adamant that these developments require the, lets have a look here. Theyre required a political settlement and they emphasize that the situation could only be resolved for International Cooperation through the security council. And in compliance with the un charter. We stand for resolving the problem exclusively through peaceful means. Any other option would be a mistake. It wouldnt be fraught with a grievous consequences. It will result in casualties and these stabilize the International Situation in general. Well, we all know what happened there, a total and utter disaster. The wes continue to ignore a lot of my pollutants. Warnings was withdrawn from yet another treaty. This time on nuclear arms reduction. The big picture was looking very suspicious. Lets not forget that one of the boots is main issues from the get go was for the west to stop expanding nato or a sports rush or not. So we saw it as a threats, but it says its not as good as shooting. Nato expansion does not have any relation with the more than i zation of the alliance itself or with ensuring security in europe. On the contrary, it represents a serious publication that reduces the level of mutual trust. And we have the right to ask against whom is this expansion intended . And what happened to the assurances are western partners made after the dissolution of the warsaw pact. I would like to quote the speech of nato general secretary, mister warner in brussels on 17th may 1990. He said at the time, but the fact that we are ready not to place a nato army outside of german territory, gives the soviet union a Firm Security guarantee. Where are these guarantees or that fell on deaf ears once again, because nato continued expanding. Have a look at this map right here. This is what it looked like before nato didnt just swallow up. New members book countries that used to be part of the warsaw pact with the soviet union. And they kept moving closer and closer to russias board. The spies vladimir boots insane stop. We didnt get unless youre going to use the motion of russia cannot but react to actions that undermine and security. Further expansion of the military block is a problem for us. So lets leave amicably and have a fair dialogue. Guys, the way we are treated, we will react the same way. But today i felt that i was hurt by my partners, but they didnt listen well the towards the end. You cray next on the list, the plans its are in georgia and so in and so i rushed and stave didnt work out as pride. But america was on the church and essentially took it upon itself to make sure that the plan for kids was put into action, as we all saw with the my dad who in 2014. Well, despite the fact that keeps the military had killed thousands of civilians in the pro russian dont boss for years, lot of of who to remain calm and collected, urging all sides to negotiate. That a miracle happened with both parties sign in the mens agreements. So and all hostilities, yeah, feeling pretty seniors cuz im, we probably would generally join what has been said here. Todays negotiators have adopted a final joins document the 3 are firms, the risk ability of strict and consistent implementation of the minutes agreements of 12 of february 2015, and stresses the importance of establishing direct dialogue between the parties to the conflict. It was all a scam, just like washingtons promise not to expand nato. Leave him russell with no other option, but to use military force to protect the civilians in former parts of the eastern new crane, the west side with launching their interventions all around the world for decades in the name of suppose a democracy which never actually comes to countries they invade, but when russia simply stood up to save civilians from him as a military, natal cried file. Yes, there was definitely not even a d. I can tell you with absolute sincerity, despite the fact that i worked in the Security Services for 20 years, i still had an idea that the whole world and the so called, civilized world understands that russia has become a different country. That there is no ideological confrontation anymore, and i easily thought that it was the inertia of thinking and actions that was a nice belief. And the realities are that after the collapse of the ussr, it was believed that russia would also collapse. Then they wouldnt be able to pick apart the pieces and use our resources and was only later that this realization came to me. Now when it comes to the most comprehensive election coverage r t is the place to be with the marietta of correspondence experts and analysts waiting to give their take over the next couple of days. So stay tuned for our special coverage the while the elections have begun smoothly, a representative of the Central Election Committee has said testing voting systems in western russia has been difficult mid kids showing of the region. This comes after the mayor of belgrade reaffirm that there are no ukrainian soldiers on russian soil. Meanwhile, on thursday, moscows Defense Ministry announced that keeps troops had attempted to breach areas in belgrade and curse, but failed, leading to heavy losses on the ukrainian side. A preemptive actions by russian units have foiled yet another attempt by the Ukrainian Armed forces to break through into the border territory of the russian federation. Near the spider use in that area of the belgrade region. As a result of russian air strikes and artillery fire up to a 195, you cranium, service men were eliminated civilians. A man and woman were killed in the belgrade region of russia following artillery, showing by the forces of the key of regime according to the local authorities. Now, the man who was killed was driving his car on a very business street during this barbaric attack. There were dozens sofa other drivers on the road at that time, but they were unscathed. Now Russian Armed forces in the neighboring cursed region also witnessed and attacked by ukrainian militants. The local governor said that ukrainians, tablets, or groups attempted to infield trade the russian border. There, but were a successful due to time, the response of the russian military. How this latest you create an attack in belgrade and curse was just one of many in the recent days. According to the russian authorities keep attempted to break through the russian border several times since sunday. At the moments oh, you create in attempts look futile. The border is under complete control. Impossible to penetrate on the ground and moving to cabs, patrons, german officials in the boot in stock, have voted down another resolution which proposed to send tourist missiles to frayne. Now this follows Opposition Party leaders unitin
