[00:00:00] evidence of that and there hasn't been
[00:00:00] a single successful
[00:00:03] attack on the election process. there have been attempts
[00:00:07] however that we've seen over the past three days and we've of course also
[00:00:10] seen continued intimidation of election
[00:00:13] commission members as well. and as we know or well uh
[00:00:17] today two people were killed in a drone attack a civilian bus
[00:00:20] in the Hirson region. one of the victims
[00:00:24] was indeed member of the presenct electoral commission
[00:00:27] in the Hirson region who was involved in the early
[00:00:31] conducting of in the conducting of the early
[00:00:35] voting process in one of its electoral districts, and this
[00:00:38] was reported by the central election commission head, Ella
[00:00:42] Pomfilova, she of course also spoke in
[00:00:45] regards to cyber attacks, that is over 100 million
[00:00:49] dangers that were thoughted over the past three days
[00:00:54] war feels more like a
[00:00:54] for Pommon. It is a information over the past period, more than waves of
[00:00:57] dedos attacks were recorded
[00:00:59] against. infrastructure in the Russian Federation that is specifically involved
[00:01:03] in the electoral process. Thankfully, there were no successful
[00:01:06] attacks despite their intensity and power. At the
[00:01:09] same time, the level of impact is assessed as very high. The
[00:01:13] attacks were carried out by highly professional, well coordinated groups
[00:01:17] using artificial intelligence tools. The attacks were
[00:01:20] launched primarily from abroad. Where did they come
[00:01:23] from? The United Kingdom, Ukraine, Brazil, Indonesia, and
[00:01:27] even India. Thank God, all the attacks were...
[00:01:34] What we've also seen is of course fake news being spread about the election process
[00:01:38] about the fairness of these elections such as reports on
[00:01:41] observers being denied entry into polling
[00:01:44] stations, but we do know that only 23
[00:01:47] complaints have in fact been received in regards to
[00:01:50] difficulties in exercising the rights of observers, three of
[00:01:54] which were indeed received today, but of course it's
[00:01:57] important to mention that the central election mission deals with these
[00:02:01] complaints promptly uh and immediately, so well
[00:02:05] with the elections now concluded, we can certainly say that indeed there have
[00:02:08] been attempts to undermine this electoral
[00:02:12] process, however they produced an opposite effect is
[00:02:15] what we've seen uh where indeed people, Russian citizens
[00:02:19] were even more active in casting their votes over these past three
[00:02:23] days. Hey, many thanks for keeping us up to speed, that's
[00:02:27] our correspondent there joining us from the central. electoral commission
[00:02:31] in Moscow as the votes come in and we
[00:02:35] follow the latest results, stay with us.
[00:02:38] well, and ourties
[00:02:41] reports from posts that have been opened in South Africa over the weekend, where
[00:02:44] Russian citizens have been heading to cast their
[00:02:47] ballots. Russian citizens living in South Africa are
[00:02:51] turning out to cast their ballots in Russia's parliamentary election
[00:02:54] today, here at the embassy in Pretoria, doors opened early
[00:02:58] this morning with diploma. actic stuff facilitating
[00:03:02] voting alongside consulates in other parts of
[00:03:05] the country, including Cape Town and Durban, for members of
[00:03:09] the diaspora participating in the vote offers
[00:03:12] a direct way to influence the composition of
[00:03:15] the
[00:03:17] 450 seat state duma. Throughout this day,
[00:03:21] citizens from across many parts of the
[00:03:24] Hauting province have been arriving at these diplomatic
[00:03:28] gates to exercise their civil. duty, each one of them
[00:03:32] bringing their own priorities for the country's domestic trajectory
[00:03:36] as well as foreign policy. where are we believe, we
[00:03:38] are still, we're still staying russians, whether far away from Russia or
[00:03:42] we're living in Moscow, one thing which unit all of us is is Russia, is our
[00:03:46] home, it is a symbol of the any democratic
[00:03:49] society which should have, that should allow its
[00:03:52] citizens who want to vote to
[00:03:55] vote. what is the most important thing is the future, future of
[00:03:59] my country, future.
[00:04:31] "I really want my family and my loved ones in Russia to live in a safe environment,
[00:04:34] with a peaceful sky above their heads, and for them to be happy,
[00:04:38] because I also plan to return to Russia. These
[00:04:41] perspectives highlight the shared sense of civic
[00:04:44] duty among voters thousands of kilometers away
[00:04:48] from home. Once poling concludes here in South Africa, the
[00:04:52] ballots collected across the country will be officially
[00:04:55] sealed and processed to be tallied alongside votes
[00:04:59] gathered from..." hundreds of Russian diplomatic
[00:05:02] missions worldwide feeding directly
[00:05:05] into the final global count for RT
[00:05:08] amnoluvuyokunge in Pretoria.
[00:05:12] but while the voting has wrapped up, there's still a lot to see,
[00:05:16] count and discuss, the final figures won't be
[00:05:19] officially confirmed until next Friday, but
[00:05:23] preliminary results on who will represent this vast country in
[00:05:26] parliament for the next five years will be
[00:05:29] gradually revealed overnight. Stay with us here on ART for the latest
[00:05:33] updates.
[00:05:45] or the news now, even Germany, where the AFD has won
[00:05:49] the Mecklenburg Western Pomerania state election, this according
[00:05:53] to an exit pole, the German chancellor friedric Martsu's
[00:05:56] CDU party barely passed, the 5%
[00:05:59] threshhold calls the result a quote
[00:06:02] disaster. We cannot talk up the result in Mecklenburg
[00:06:07] disaster, the CDU has fought, but it has in the end been crushed
[00:06:10] by the polarization between the... democratic party and the
[00:06:14] AFD, well they're celebrating in alternative for
[00:06:17] Germany's campaign headquarters in Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania
[00:06:21] after exit poll show the party has won
[00:06:24] big with 37% of the
[00:06:27] vote. The current state premier party SPD is slightly
[00:06:31] behind with the result with 35.5%. This
[00:06:34] follows a key vote earlier in September in another eastern
[00:06:38] state, Saxon Angalt where the opposition party AFD
[00:06:41] grabs 40. 3.8% of the
[00:06:44] electorate and this follows a key vote
[00:06:47] earlier in September in another eastern state as we just said
[00:06:51] the saxony unhalt um where
[00:06:54] Germany came marking making AFD
[00:06:57] the leading party in the nation's regional parliament
[00:07:00] now and this comes as the German head of state's
[00:07:04] approval rating has plumited to about 14% due to the
[00:07:08] worsening economic situation in the
[00:07:10] country. Some locals in the street. could not hold back their anger
[00:07:14] when speaking of merz's leadership. take a
[00:07:16] listen.
[00:07:19] do not dare turn on my heating. i would rather be
[00:07:22] cold. at the age of 76, i am still working so
[00:07:26] that i can survive at all on my small pension. my husband
[00:07:29] received 700. if we did not have that, we would have to
[00:07:33] move out of here. we would have to leave, and that is what i want to
[00:07:37] change, and hope it works.
[00:07:41] and that's from mr.
[00:08:12] "they don't want uh Berlin giving away hundreds
[00:08:16] of millions of euro to Ukraine, they would like to have a
[00:08:20] German chancellor and not a Ukrainian chancellor
[00:08:23] in Berlin, they would like to have safe cities and
[00:08:27] not closing down companies and
[00:08:30] industries every month like it's happening now, people are
[00:08:33] really really angry, I have never seen Germans
[00:08:37] such um decisive,
[00:08:40] decisive in their protest." but this is not only
[00:08:43] vote for protest, this is vote for change, for
[00:08:47] change, for peace and especially for
[00:08:50] reestablishing
[00:08:52] cooperation with Russia in order to take down cost
[00:08:56] of living, all costs of living, for energy, fuels
[00:09:00] and others for everyday german
[00:09:03] that are really struggling. well,
[00:09:06] if it would be possible to reestablish the
[00:09:09] connections, the economic connections with Russia. and
[00:09:12] also with the uh with Belarus and
[00:09:15] bringing um the raw materials and supplies
[00:09:19] of gas and all sources
[00:09:21] of energy to Germany, this of course could
[00:09:25] bring down the cost of production
[00:09:28] in uh industries, this could bring
[00:09:32] down the fuel prices which will uh bring down the
[00:09:36] cost of logistics to bring things from the factories
[00:09:39] to the shops where people are buying uh things and
[00:09:43] this of course will have final
[00:09:46] effect on the final uh retail price
[00:09:50] for the customer.
[00:09:53] the global town hall 2026 is wrapped up in
[00:09:56] Jakarta. the annual virtual platform brings together world
[00:10:00] leaders to discuss pressing global issues. among
[00:10:04] topics being discussed is the US lead attack on an Iranian school
[00:10:07] that killed 168 people. rt
[00:10:10] correspondent. has the details:
[00:10:14] united nations mandated fact finding mission says
[00:10:18] there are reasonable grounds to believe the
[00:10:21] united states acted recklessly into.
[00:10:25] on Iran in February, one targeting a primary school
[00:10:29] in Minap and the other a sports complex in
[00:10:32] Lamar. The findings were presented to the UN Human Rights
[00:10:36] Council after months of investigation into the
[00:10:39] US Israeli war on Iran, which began
[00:10:43] amid stall nuclear negotiations. Speaking at the
[00:10:46] Global Town Hall 2026, organized by the
[00:10:49] foreign policy community of Indonesia, Iran's foreign
[00:10:52] minister warned that a failure to those responsible,
[00:10:56] accountable could undermine the international
[00:10:59] system. if these are not met with
[00:11:02] effective response from the international community, they will gradually
[00:11:06] erase the prohibited boundaries of international law.
[00:11:10] such policies will yield no result
[00:11:12] other than the tragedy of the killing of 168
[00:11:16] innocent students in minab. if international institutions, including the
[00:11:20] United Nations, cannot stand up against aggression and hold
[00:11:23] accountable the violence. terms of international law, it is
[00:11:26] only natural that the credibility and
[00:11:30] legitimacy of these institutions will be damaged, but
[00:11:33] calls for accountability are also being linked to a broader
[00:11:37] debate over the future of multilateralism, and
[00:11:40] whether the international system can be reformed to better
[00:11:44] reflect the interest of developing and middle-sized
[00:11:47] nations, the legacy of Indonesia's
[00:11:50] 1955 bandung conference, which
[00:11:53] helped shape the... on align movement was highlighted
[00:11:57] as a possible starting point for new global
[00:12:01] dialogue. the united nations can be a framework
[00:12:04] for some activity in that regard, but not quite
[00:12:07] yet and so forth. so perhaps I could
[00:12:11] conclude by saying, well, let's use
[00:12:13] the history of Indonesia and
[00:12:17] history of bandung, for calling
[00:12:19] a bandung to as as
[00:12:22] a as an opportunity. for a
[00:12:25] critique of the existing circumstances and the existing
[00:12:29] leading powers and offering alternatives perhaps
[00:12:32] based on the idea of middle income or middle size
[00:12:35] countries or some other
[00:12:38] explored. the need for a more inclusive international
[00:12:42] order was also reflected in discussions on
[00:12:45] Palestine where the full realization of Palestinian
[00:12:48] soverenty and independence remained a
[00:12:51] central issue. the full realization of palestine.
[00:12:55] sovereignty and independence therefore depends first and
[00:12:58] foremost on ending the occupation and reversing the
[00:13:02] policies that are destroying the territorial,
[00:13:05] political and economic foundations of the two states
[00:13:08] solution. ladies and gentlemen, Gaza
[00:13:11] is and will remain an integral part of the
[00:13:14] state of Palestine. there can be no separate political future
[00:13:18] for Ghaza, and no arrangements that detach it from the
[00:13:21] west bank including East Jerusalem, and it trans
[00:13:25] or stabilization agreements or
[00:13:28] arrangements must be temporary and palestinian
[00:13:31] owned. They must support rather than
[00:13:34] substitute Palestinian institutions. They must lead
[00:13:38] to the reunification of Palestinian territory
[00:13:41] under one legitimate Palestinian government, one
[00:13:45] law and one system and with the full exercise of
[00:13:48] Palestinian sovereignty and independ. With international
[00:13:52] rules increasingly challenge and force. a greater
[00:13:55] role in shaping global affairs, accountability
[00:13:59] of international law is kept on being questioned, but
[00:14:03] such discussions also underscored a shared
[00:14:05] desire for the future of international relations, a
[00:14:09] global system that protects soverenty and at the
[00:14:12] same time administers justice
[00:14:15] reporting from Jakarta for
[00:14:18] RRT.
[00:14:22] new Chinese movie about
[00:14:25] East is proving major hit at the local box office. It
[00:14:29] depicts a US invasion
[00:14:32] tells the story through the unusual perspective of a Chinese
[00:14:36] restaurant owner trying to survive amid the horrors of
[00:14:39] Roshkov has
[00:14:42] here in a special media screening
[00:14:45] Middle East, one of China's
[00:14:49] biggest films of the year, and whether the filmmakers
[00:14:52] breaks what have. long been something of
[00:14:56] a Hollywood monopoly on how wars in the Middle East are
[00:14:59] portrayed on screen, because here at the center of the story isn't
[00:15:03] an American soldier, but a Chinese chef who travels to a
[00:15:07] Middle Eastern country hoping to make some money, opens a
[00:15:10] restaurant and suddenly finds himself trapped
[00:15:14] in a brutal
[00:15:15] war.
[00:15:22] The country is never actually named in the movie. movie, but the resemblance to rock
[00:15:26] during and after the 2003 US led
[00:15:30] uncanny,
[00:15:33] and this time the Americans are no longer the protagonis.
[00:15:39] "there are the foreign military force entering somebody else's
[00:15:42] country, while much of the story follows ordinary
[00:15:45] people trying to survive what
[00:15:47] next.
[00:15:50] the film's director, when you and
[00:15:54] same war can look very
[00:15:58] different when it's not seen through
[00:16:02] Humvy. for decades, um, Hollywood
[00:16:05] films like American snipe or..."
[00:16:07] or black hawk down
[00:16:11] audiences around the world see wars in the middle east
[00:16:14] was challengeing that familiar perspective, something that you had in
[00:16:18] mind. if we discuss war only from the perspective of the opposing
[00:16:22] sides, we can never truly understand peace, because that
[00:16:25] leaves out ordinary people. our film shows war through their
[00:16:29] eyes, and to ordinary people
[00:16:31] disaster. the movie doesn't come across as
[00:16:37] the occupying forces are shown striking corrupt deals with
[00:16:40] locals,
[00:16:45] while others torture people, they suspect of terrorist activity,
[00:16:49] but then there is Tony, an American soldier of Chinese
[00:16:52] descent who finds common ground with the Chinese
[00:16:55] chef.
[00:16:59] He's a genuinely sympathetic
[00:17:02] becomes victim of a suicide bombing, you feel the
[00:17:05] tragedy of the war from his. side
[00:17:08] too,
[00:17:11] the actor who plays Tony, Liji King is from Hong
[00:17:14] Kong, and when I spoke to him about the role after the screening,
[00:17:18] the conversation took an unexpectedly emotional
[00:17:20] turn, he actually broke down in tears on stage,
[00:17:24] this scene um that you play where Tony,
[00:17:28] your character um breaks down and said that he wants to go
[00:17:32] home is probably one of the most powerful scenes in the
[00:17:34] film.
[00:17:41] and earlier um your
[00:17:45] all kids of being terrorists, but the
[00:17:47] nasty you almost get the sense that the deep
[00:17:50] down, he understands that if it weren't for the american
[00:17:54] invasion, these keys might never have had to take
[00:17:58] up arms in the first place. i want to go
[00:18:01] home, when i said i want to go home,
[00:18:04] the emotion was very intense and it wasn't just about literally
[00:18:08] going
[00:18:08] home.
[00:18:13] Deep down, my character didn't want to become that kind of person. He
[00:18:17] wants to go back to normal life escape this
[00:18:20] disaster. We also see radicalized locals,
[00:18:24] outraged by the invasion, but committing atrocities of their
[00:18:27] own, including grooming orphans to carry out suicide
[00:18:31] attacks, and so the film essentially tells us that neither the
[00:18:35] foreign occupying force nor the home. grown radicals
[00:18:38] are doing the country any good? the film ends a very simple yet
[00:18:42] philosophical thought: after witnessing all the
[00:18:44] brutality of war, the main character, chinese chef
[00:18:48] sufuu says that what really matters is enjoying
[00:18:51] meal, living in peace and
[00:18:55] simple message, but a profound one, and perhaps a
[00:18:58] very Chinese way of looking at war. i'm constant
[00:19:02] reporting for RT from
[00:19:03] Beijing.
[00:19:06] protest. have taken to the streets
[00:19:10] a US Venezuela oil deal, which they believe threatens
[00:19:14] their country's sovereignty.
[00:19:17] We are here, a group of men and women from
[00:19:21] condemn the handing over of our resources. We've not given them
[00:19:24] away neither to the American people, nor much less to Trump. We have
[00:19:28] given nothing away. The Venezuelan people are saying that the oil belongs to us
[00:19:32] and we will recover not only the oil, but also our
[00:19:35] We reject this agreement because it
[00:19:39] represents a surrender of sovereignty, a surrender of
[00:19:42] national wealth to imperialist capital and subordination to the
[00:19:45] interests of the US government and American transnational
[00:19:48] corporations. It is handing over of the country to
[00:19:51] transnational capital and to US imperialism in
[00:19:55] particular. The deal announced by the White
[00:19:58] House last month grants the US access to 65
[00:20:02] billion barrels of oil in Venezuela through a private
[00:20:05] firm in which the Pentagon... holds a 35% stake via
[00:20:09] a parent company, as part of the agreement, the US will get
[00:20:13] 20% of Venezuelan oil production at
[00:20:16] cost. Washington has also removed
[00:20:20] Karakas from its drug trafficking list for the first time in more than
[00:20:23] 20 years. The White House cites what it calls positive
[00:20:27] steps by the interim government which came to power after US
[00:20:31] forces abducted the Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro and
[00:20:35] his wife and brought them to the US to face. federal
[00:20:38] narcoterrorism charges. Washington as long claimed
[00:20:41] to Maduro himself was behind the South American country's drug
[00:20:45] trafficking network.
[00:20:47] Maduro's reign of terror
[00:20:50] the largest narcotraffikers in the world and a
[00:20:54] threat to our national security.
[00:20:58] Professor of Latin American Studies at the City University of New York
[00:21:01] Daniel Shaw says the US government uses the war on drugs
[00:21:05] as a pretext for many of its actions.
[00:21:09] It simply used the quote unquote war on drugs as a
[00:21:12] ideological and media uh
[00:21:15] justification for what they're doing.
[00:21:18] They took Venezuela. off of this list for completely
[00:21:22] hypocritical, politicized
[00:21:25] the Bronx and across the United States, we continue to see fetinol, we
[00:21:29] continue to see uh deadly drugs, many of which come uh
[00:21:33] right from here and are made uh right here in the
[00:21:35] US, and for so long the United States has
[00:21:38] been uh the biggest drug dealer in the world, they were
[00:21:42] caught red-handed smuggling um
[00:21:45] cocaine into South Central Los Angeles, there was an entire congressional
[00:21:48] inquiry led by former presidential candidate John Kerry in
[00:21:52] 1986, so this is a
[00:21:55] politicized decision, everything has changed in Venezuela
[00:21:59] since January 3rd, uh, Delsey Rodriguez and
[00:22:02] Diosdalo Cabelho in this uh quote-unquote Boulevarian
[00:22:06] leadership, with gun to their head, felt like they had other
[00:22:10] options, and they've now complied uh, whatever
[00:22:13] the Trump administration, whatever the class of Epsteen
[00:22:16] billionaires says, is what they do, they've done military.
[00:22:20] exercises uh together, they've granted
[00:22:23] concessions to US mining companies, now uh, we know
[00:22:26] about the 100 year popupter deal
[00:22:30] um, forven as well as oil to come into the
[00:22:33] US.
[00:22:36] bringing you back to our top story now, Russia's parliamentary
[00:22:39] elections have wrapped up across the country's 11 time
[00:22:43] zones, even though the polls have closed, there's still a lot to
[00:22:46] see, count and discuss, the final figures won't be official.
[00:22:50] confirmed until next Friday. Let's take a
[00:22:53] look at how things look currently though, here are the
[00:22:56] preliminary results after about 18% of the ballots have been
[00:23:00] tallyed. As you can see the ruling United Russia party is
[00:23:03] firmly in the lead with solid majority, the runner-up
[00:23:07] party right there, the communist party on about 14%.
[00:23:11] In third place is the Liberal Democratic Party with a little over
[00:23:48] This is the boat. these crew members had
[00:23:51] disappeared without a trace, without a trace and
[00:23:55] that we assumed
[00:23:58] it was a
[00:24:01] American base was here,
[00:24:05] there we documented the ships
[00:24:08] aquí
[00:24:12] Fishermen are criminalized and
[00:24:15] are told that they are all
[00:24:16] drug traffickers.
[00:24:20] a great hypocrisy and part of that hypocrisy is saying that with military
[00:24:23] bases, security will improve.
[00:24:27] but a process of US military intervention
[00:24:30] control the social processes that occur in Latin America,
[00:24:34] that is the intention of a military base.
[00:24:49] Kuriles. This
[00:24:51] restored Russia's sovereignty
[00:24:55] which we lost in the second half of the 19th century. On the islands of
[00:24:59] 23,000 people were taken
[00:25:03] prisoner, Japanese. The first island of the Kuril
[00:25:07] гряды с севера, это шумшу, фортификация на
[00:25:10] it, an airfield, tanks, guns, that is,
[00:25:14] фактически это как авианосец. Всё было
[00:25:17] classified, my grandfather had the task of taking
[00:25:21] the Japanese enemy position on the fields of this island,
[00:25:25] полях этого острова разыгралась последнее сражение второй мировой
[00:25:29] and merits of our ancestors, the borders
[00:25:33] наших предков, границы России священные,
[00:25:36] неприкосновенные, и мы постараемся сделать всё, чтобы
[00:25:40] так продолжалось в
[00:25:41] дальнейшем.
[00:25:49] Yes, they hired and how the Russians
[00:25:52] behaved here, so uh completely
[00:25:56] contrary,
[00:25:58] the Russian practically came,
[00:26:02] it and put up a sign and distributed
[00:26:05] food to the population,
[00:26:07] we never understood each other in that sense, but they would have invited us to
[00:26:11] then you don't need
[00:26:14] words, we
[00:26:18] als wie die da auf dem Plakat da gewesen sind, weißt du,
[00:26:22] that's
[00:26:22] it,
[00:26:27] can't follow that today, when you're
[00:26:31] so crippled again. Calls for
[00:26:33] war readiness,
[00:26:37] I just wanted to tell the Russian population
[00:26:39] that
[00:26:42] we have not forgotten and we actually want to live in
[00:26:45] peace, and peace is what, the only thing that matters is
[00:26:49] peace,
[00:26:54] that
[00:26:56] is passable.
[00:27:28] if you take a look at the opening document basically says that I mean it is
[00:28:02] 227 lethal attacks against defenders of the land
[00:28:06] and the environment, an average of more than four people murdered per
[00:28:10] week, so the indigenous peoples, the
[00:28:13] traditional peoples, the peasant movements will be placed
[00:28:17] as the fundamental enemies to maintain this liberal democratic order that will
[00:28:20] guarantee this economic strategy of reprimarization of the region.
[00:28:24] Jedi, the condor keeps
[00:28:26] flying.
[00:30:24] Russia's first parliamentary elections since the beginning of the
[00:30:28] Ukraine conflict have wrapped up and the counting of the votes
[00:30:32] has been. We're bringing you our special coverage as the world's
[00:30:35] geographically biggest country has its democratic
[00:30:38] say.
[00:30:42] And with the first preliminary results coming in, the ruling
[00:30:45] United Russia party is firmly top with solid
[00:30:48] majority. The runner-up is the communist party with almost
[00:30:51] 14% and the Liberal Democratic Party is
[00:30:55] inferred with a little over
[00:30:57] 9%. Moscow says.
