Beach is ready . Probably minutes. The green lights, an idea of cloud for a round operation, and the density populated gossen city, old restaurant. But even psalm is rainys are fearful of what that might entail. Say maybe you will be a soldier a new week, a lot. So well like to, to go and so now we need to become like some of the other on good morning we all live from most go what it has just gone and its good to see thats the choosing palm to you this. Ok, well like i said, it is a to all the russians president ial election once again. Well, mostly holding stations across the country on our folks and well wrap up on sunday. We know that so far, every time out has now passed 136 percent as part of all special coverage. We have settled selves up in the very heart of the russian capital to bring you the latest. Its the, the big question is, who will leave the country in the next 6 years, who will decide the future of the country. And that is for only russians who are voting to answer that question with the bundle to end up being for tripping out and showing consign. And then so as you ask them as to how they want the one, the country to be run. And that is what we have been covering. I bring you up to speed for candidates in this president ial elections and the incumbent title states who is running as an independent candidate, along with the other 3 can contend us, who are Current National lo make as representing 3 different political parties. So far, let them put in is the only candidate so far who has cast his ballot, and he opted not to go to the Police Station but voted remotely via the Online Service from his office. Now lets head to our Political Correspondent jago pest can of he reports from the election. He heads up that so far, despite any attempts to have trucks to the voting process, like you just saw in russias new regions, or some of the incidents that have taken place. At some of the polling stations in, you know, the regions of russia and millions of people have already cast their ballots. And this is only the 1st day of the election. Like you said, this is the 1st time that russia is holding a president ial election, which will last for 3 days. And thats of course, done in order to provide everyone with an opportunity to be able to cast their ballots. We expect some more development, the same prosperity in the country, and then everything will turn out better for our people. Of the faith of our country is being decided for 6 years. The president is elected for 6 years, our entire system, the structures of government bodies and our life in general is being decided. Everyone should come and vote over to collections are our lights, the president and the people are united. Our victory depends on the president and the people, though i believe that elections are mandatory, that i think that this is one of the most important events for every person, for the citizens of our country. We must take part because the future of russia depends on our voice. We all love us, citizens of russia. I think that the clergy is the advance layer of our society, so we must actively take part in these events. Unfortunately, several troubling incidents have been reported in the different parts of the country authorities already in our already investigating them and several criminal investigations are being conducted. Uh, a few people actually ford inc into the bad boxes. Uh, one woman tried setting up holding station on fire by throwing a mazda of cocktail in it, but thankfully, no one was injured in that incident and about the boxes werent damaged as well. But we have heard now from the head of the whole committee, all up on zillow, who said that this is quite a serious offense. Still from those who are the say and from the, from their explanations, it follows that this is coming from abroad. This means some kind of scheme, a connection, these us elements of federalism. They admit that they do this for money, but they said they will be less off that this is just bedding hooliganism. This is section 141 of the criminal code up to 5 years in prison. This is not ordinary simple hooliganism. Now, im talking about International Attention to these this president ial election, then a 106 countries sent their observers to russia to monitor the vote. I think all in all about 200000 people, including russian citizens and now foreigners are monitoring this election. Id like to share with you some of the comments now coming out from some western officials, many of whom had been saying earlier that they wont be paying attention to the president ial election in russia, calling it a sham or illegitimate. But now it seems some are taking to sarcasm as the last resorts, for instance, the European Council president , who said that quote, id like to congratulate vladimir put it on his landslide victory in new york section starting today. No opposition, no freedom, no choice. He wrote this on x, formerly known as twitter, of course, or a policy analyst with the European Parliament who said that recent changes to rush as a total was make it virtually impossible to conduct any meaningful monitoring and have significantly restricted the role of the media. Well, frankly, i think these 106 countries which did to send their observers to monitor the selection in russia. I think they would disagree. Let me welcome you to another interview. Were going to have here election, observe us who were coming from different parts of the world to witness the history and making election in russia right now and been joined by how much can we have been abdullah . Meaning, hes the political adviser to administer a finance of militia, and hes here, its nice to have you join me right now. Im a how much . Thank you. My welcome. Now you are in moscow.

And of course, you can see these time what all we have for about the full candidates for the especially dental election. Thats Community Shows that the, the democracy practice is i would say, fostering in russia and this time what i think you will be interesting. Plus, this is the 1st time of the potentially let should where the e working system is being implemented. I think this is very good. I mean, to, towards the advisement of technology. We try to utilize and use and maximize whatever means that we have to make sure that the participation of the people in this democratic process is being utilized. This is very important to make sure that the 2nd, you know, the progress and will forward to and side to it will be a part of the important can see into was to make sure that whatever the things that we have planned and, you know, for all this one we can for the improve and make sure that we can, you know, explore a new opportunity between felicia and arise who, apart from the existing one we have treat. Meanwhile, over in the house on origin, a posting station came on to ukrainian shedding according to the local governor, even to people wounded president fruits and has responded saying that he has attempted sabotaging the election. What going on in an attempt to disrupt the voting process and intimidate people, at least in the border areas with ukraine. The key of neo nazi regime is trying to carry out a series of criminal and demonstrative armed acts. This primarily involves targeting peaceful settlements on russian territory. Approximately 95 percent of the enemies missiles and projectiles are destroyed by our air defense forces. Nevertheless, unfortunately, there are casualties among civilians. All of them and their families will, of course, receive all necessary assistance and support these attacks by the enemy will not go unpunished. While commenting on those recent attacks that a session of the Un Security Council rushes and void claims the west was actively challenging the legitimacy of the election while ignoring the actions of its own ally. Do you see deserves cuz i want to us cold, less than colleagues. You have assembled a whole Security Council meeting just to critique across several holton democratic collections on the territory that is administratively politically and economically. A pause of all country, whether anyone likes it or not. And then terms of your boast of democratic standards, how can you characterize the single . How did constellation of elections by the head of states . Zalesky still hasnt figured out how to stay in power, but he has already shown that hes ready to draw on the whole country in blood and sacrifice every last ukrainian to achieve this goal. And done, yet, has seen a steady flow of people to the polling stations, despite the potential dangers 2020 the watch him off to plus on close that locals. How being able to take part in russians election . Well, in other regions now became part of russia a decade ago is making its choice to back in 2014, the people of crime has voted to join the Russian Federation. This selection is the 2nd time that they have had the say on who gets to be the head of state among those voting was the leader of the peninsula. So the ex totals who are just his copatrick not to be indifferent to the country speech for everybody. But mostly its a Beautiful Day because we are voting for the future of russia. Do not be indifferent and you will do not stand aside. Cast your vote for the future of our country here, and i said for security is a Proper Development for the lives and health of our children and grandchildren. And thats what you do. Meanwhile, the french president of manuel macro have said that the bins should. I should be seized from russia in order to bring stability on last in peace to the region. But what do the prime ends themselves that well, all teased on courthouse, be looking at how life has actually changed or not. Over the last 10 years. Its been 10 years since crimea took its fate into its own hands. Voting to become part of russia and the peninsula has undergone a dramatic transformation all despite the western. Nay sayers who did everything in their power to see where unification fail. Once he grabbed crimea, pretended deployed new move Russian Forces in the peninsula, turning the territory into an armed camp from which to threaten the risk of ukraine. We will continue to hold russia accountable until it returns full control of premier to ukraine and completely withdraws its forces. It is also important to acknowledge that the situation and the o tournaments republic of crayton year, and the city of citrus, the pope, has further the terrier agents. A new crime is most grandiose project was likely the crime in bridge. Russias vital artery of transports through the curt, straight, a similar accomplishment was the construction of the to read the federal highway which sides grand opening in 2020. These are just 2 of many new pieces of infrastructure across the peninsula. And thats done wonders for people. Standard of living is the possibility of good news. A lot has changed over the years. First of all, we feel supported by to ukraine has tons of us to poll into the backwoods. And now that the city is blooming, that you will do take a look at what the odds we have now. I said you have, we have an excellent tool to supply. Right. Did you understand here is i have received the russian citizenship. I have my own business. I bought an apartment and my daughter grew up here as a rush and thought to us shianna, i believe that our homeland is russia. Im happy when i came to try me in 2014. I opened, so inscriptions on cars with the question, where are the roads instead of snowball . After a while, this question became irrelevant. We can see for ourselves what has happened in these 10 years is just the pure delight when you can drive the whole peninsula. In 4 hours. We have well equipped engine youth, public places, squares, and fox already met during the energy and voltage located by ukraine. It was quite difficult for make note of especially is i had a baby, but we survived everything we survived the sanctions to. Well get, tell you for a tool. We cannot be broken. Premier officially left ukraine and joined to the Russian Federation in march of 2014. After over a whopping 96 percent of the population voted to do so in a historic referendum. It should come as little surprise since both ukrainian and russian statistics show that russians have long made up the main Demographic Group on the peninsula. And according to moscow, the euro, my don apartments threatens them with ethnic cleansing. Crimea was visited by hundreds of foreign delegations including representatives of international organizations, prominent political figures. Former president s and prime ministers have been here. And everyone was convinced of one thing. It was the will of the crime in people to return to russia when ethnic cleansing threatened the peninsula. And the threat of war loomed in connection with the nationalist crew that took place in care of in 2014. As lot of air pollutant mentioned in his 2014 cry me a speech, many of the seeds of chaos were sewn decades before. Like when former soviet general secretary, Nikita Khrushchev arbitrarily transferred crimea from russia to ukraine, it became clear the russian president s, that inaction would be a betrayal of his own people. A simple somebody else. It was those who resisted the push. What immediately threatened with reprisals and punitive measures. And the 1st in line was of course crimea, russian speaking crimea. Thats when the residents of crimea and say were still flu, appealed to russia to protect their rights and their lives. Of course, we could not fail to respond to this request. We could not leave premier and its people in trouble. Otherwise it would simply be a betrayal. It was necessary to Health Create conditions for a peaceful, Free Expression of will, so that the crime means could determine their own faith for the 1st time in history. But even after crimea returns to its motherland, struggles continued to persist. Light keeps block aid of nearly 90 percent of the potential is clean water supply president s, the lensky who thinks crime, he actually wants to come back to ukraine, was making jokes about the water situation back in 2015. That kind of what was the, the, just the 1st thing you were saying youre gonna pick out what was the speech as the notes of good . Oh my god. What 2nd . What then there were the blackouts that would run for months on end, caused by kia backed extremist, to sabotage, to power lines running to crimea. It was only after rush, it was able to commission to new power plants, but the Energy Problem was solved in 2019. The whole country helped us in the shortest possible time and energy bridge. A new power plants were built, as well as an upgrade to the existing Power Generation facilities today, for the 1st time in history, crime, me and not totally has ceased to be a regional bearings and power shortages, but can also supply subclasses of electricity outside its territory if necessary, there were new sanctions as well, but the west targeted specifically a crimea, but that didnt stop countries like italy, greece and france from continuing to cooperate with the peninsula. On top of that, the republic is heading towards its 2nd president ial election in russia with a new generation of young people heading to the pulse. So the since 2014 police collect tibbetts in crimea has appeared because before 2014, there was no use political agenda on the peninsula, only up to become an impulse of the Russian Federation. Did young people in crimea actively begin to be interested in politics was meant as begin to appear a system and Guardian Young people. I think it is the duty of every citizen to vote and every vote. As in paul, 10, the crime in youth hold the same opinion. I see only a positive direction for the development of the bride me and ill use as i am representative of use. I think the tour is mode develop very actively and try me as well as the republic is. There was a miniature and you can find everything here. Go to a despite pressure from the west war violence sanctions, democracy today is alive and well in crimea, just as it was in 2014 for constantly updated the coverage on the president ial election had on over to our website or to, to come on at an online we have going to cover the one thats on 2 of the news now and the latest from central gaza where at least 36. 00 civilians have been killed over night and but a lot. Now the local Health Industry confirmed but his way these targeted a residential house with many children, victims of that attack. The area has been under heavy bombardment at least some times. Now. This footage from friday shows the off the mouth of those attacks locals along with restless, desperately such the russell victims. Meanwhile, the total Palestinian Death toll since october has now reached such a 1409. 00 while moving to the south of the young plays now with several casualties have been reported following strikes on a friday on the most densely populated city. Thats rafa houses as well as tense, located nearby, have been completely destroyed. No say they have reached the breaking point with no rush left to show the fall. Disease hung gun ongoing bombardments attaining the lives of that loved ones. Every single day the people was sitting at home during ramadan and southern the there was a strike in the neighborhood. When we went out to sea, we found that the building had completely collapsed. Theres no safety built into rough, awful. Anyway, we used to consider rough thought to be the safest place in the gaza strip, but israel is not very us. And then i make some money. We dont have weapons resistance for this. I didnt fear what, what is really on to us. So this is what new york as the new, the see, the impact, the auction site civilians and disabled instruction be home by some of them are me while he is ready.
