11:14 am

11:19 am
stifle dissent. the russ this positive wonder if it's in is replacing one of his longest serving ministers in a surprise cabinet. we shuffle. he's removing the defense minister survey showing from his role more than 3 years into the ukraine war. the former deputy prime minister andre bella saw an economist with no military experience will be the new defense minister. the move needs approval from parliament, but it is expected to be a formality and soy google. now head russia's national security council. dorsen jabar is joining us from moscow. are we learning any more about what was behind this moved ortho as well. i think there are, and it's clear that the russian president vladimir put in when he made this decision on sunday evening, cuz that he has a very clear vision of what needs to happen in the country's defense ministry. now
11:20 am
the 65 year old andre bella solve is known for having a very impressive economic background. he has been part of the country's government for many, many years. he's believe to be a very close confidant of the letter we are putting and with the decision by the president. it shows that as the financial aspects of the russian defense industry need to be put in order. we have to remember that since the war began in ukraine in 2022, russia's military budget has grown to about 6 and a half percent of the countries g, d p. so there's a huge financial portfolio that needs to be manage and the russian defense ministry has been placed with accusations of corruption and bribery, the outgoing defense minister survey sure, go. one of his deputies is currently in prison facing corruption charges. so it is clear that flattering reporting is looking to clean up this department as a result of the ongoing military operation and
11:21 am
a huge expenditure that is being directed to this important ministry in the country . so are we learning a little bit more than about this new defense minister to yes, uh, like i said, to use a known to have a very impressive economic background. and that will come in handy when it comes to a really cleaning up this departments. what is unclear is once he takes a office officially after he is confirmed by the upper house of parliament, or whether or not some further investigations into allegations of mismanage, of corruption in the defense of history will lead to further re shuffle of various generals that are in the ministry at the moment. so what we do know is that the current chief of staff, that is valerie corrupt girls symbols he is saying, puts, he's not being changed by the russian president. and whether or not this means any
11:22 am
tangible and changes on the ground for the russian soldiers that are fighting in ukraine remains to be seen. but what we do know is, even though andre bill itself doesn't have a military background, he's put appointments to a defense minister is certainly being seen as it moves that will focus on the financial aspects of the ministry and cleaning up accusations of corruption. okay, thank you. or so, thanks for that update from moscow. the, the 4th phase of voting and, and just general election is underway in indian administered kashmir, is one of the regions where people are casting their ballots. this is the 1st parliamentary election and the most of the majority areas, since the prime minister and the ring promoted revoked its special status in 2019 moody's party. the b j. p has not filled up
11:23 am
a candidate in the region. christopher set in as a political scientist, he's also the author of the book, independent kashmir, an incomplete aspiration. he says the reason why the b j p is not feeling a candidates, is a fear of defeats, a will of beach i. p is not feeling a candidate because i feed defeat. there are 3 sites in the cast me valley one straddles palm demo, and the beach i please very happy decides that they created the peaceful environment to allow the selection to take place. but on the other hand, as a result of those aggregations in 2009, because a lot of local unpopularity the, for the beach, i pay, and i a, it's the 1st one for about. so to use, i have not had a candidate paid for luck, some of our election and i do, they think they going to lose and little will be not just the last but of dropping . the long term strategy is to win the hearts of the people according to the home. and this to mr. i'm a cha who was in january recently. he said,
11:24 am
we're not going to field any candidates in the cash me valley, but we, i am to still when the hots of the kashmiris and it's going to take a bit longer than that. so we're going to do that through allowing some elections through giving them state status again and through some developments and things like that. in the ultimately the kashmiris will come see that we really found out some and they will come around accordingly. well, just a reminder is that the engine government, as i'll grant a visa styles as it was journalist. so we're covering the election from outside the country. and i've got a song flash floods, triggered by heavy rain, have killed at least 315 people. there are fears that death toll could rise out 0 spoke to displaced, residence in the northern bank line province. one of the hardest hit areas clearly calla and reports buried on demand in debris. the ruins of what with family
11:25 am
homes, the fullest of friday's lot destroyed thousands of properties across bygone province . isn't they going to move in a god? this is my life that you see now. all these what house on the floor. one house after another. a scary flood came and took everything with it because of what i'm booked the act and i'm one of it on. it also took more than 300 lives, according to the taliban ministry for refugees, a number that is likely to rise. oh, the meaning of the victims have already been buried or not. i mean, i lost 13 members of my family, including women and children. i thought of flood waters washed out in time, villages and livelihoods. the guy said to them, we don't have clean water to drink and there's nowhere to live, nothing to you. that is everything, including the school and the clinic, are gone. the seasonal heavy rains close the flash flooding, sweeping through several provinces across afghanistan. line is considered the worst
11:26 am
effected while that is that rather than the i don't know what health is coming to us from the government. there is no life left for us. i mean, why should we go, this is my house and all of it is destroyed. there is no life left for me anymore. many of the roads in announcers the regions paved in mud, making it difficult for rescue teams to reach remote areas. diggers on needed to combat the palm. so i at the top, i expect the government and the un to provide us with shelter water medicine or somewhere to live so that all these people can be safe or not. the people of bygone a waiting for that this really needed help to arrive kindly tell a hey, i'll just get a separate hosting springs. catalonia region has suffered a huge set back and sundays regional election. the socialist party was also runs. the national government in madrid has emerged as the largest party with most of the votes counted catalonia separate as government tell the referendum to break away
11:27 am
from spain in 2017, but madrid never recognized that votes sonia, go reports from barcelona. it was a close victory for calculating your socialist and they maintain a significant results for the you the to vote. so says so the yes, the mind tell us be turning that way into reality. more days to start bodies, as one of the most important relevant factors has been the policies of the spanish government. and in particular, a prime minister petro sanchez. this policy has quite the narrow majority. nevertheless, the challenge this pro unity policy has is whether they can form a government with a separate tables. catalonia is where the regional becomes an issue of national importance. the last time a pro unity socialist was governing the region was in 2010, much has changed since then. since the attempt of secession in 2017,
11:28 am
the relationship between madrid and both saloon a has been hence often hostile. one of the main speakers of this era for a counseling leader kind of list speeds the month courtney and self imposed exile to avoid arrest his center right. june's policy is a close runner up sign. he says that his vision for an independent catalonia is still young. and full by votes, his stomach and be sure that goes through them. surely we are in a position to form a solid government dedicated to the cops line course and we will work harder for the next 1000 days for this purpose some legit. few yet support for independence has diminished since 2017. when even then most people in the region were in favor of remaining in spain. and it was a nice of last for the policy of the outgoing president of catalonia, the last we e r. c. put it out of goodness have led the region since 2021, during which she had established a close a dialogue with
11:29 am
a national government not let to pardons the separatist jail for that part of the sales succession and the passing of the amnesty logically. those found guilty of separatist activity led to up rule against prime minister suntrust and the rest of spain. while the selection has not usually the decisive result, finding a solution that will please most will be a fine balance. so new guy, ego al, jazeera, barcelona, students, and county i have been told to return to school despite weeks of flooding, that's killed nearly 270 people. at least 6. the 2 primary schools have been affected, their fears, waterborne, diseases like cholera could spread often story reports from western can you much needs to be done in your marseilles school in case soon will county students return to school of the 2 week delay following torrential rains that left hundreds
11:30 am
that and thousands home left. some schools across the country have eva been damaged or are under water aid? well cause i also worried about the risk of a disease is what i've got enough to this level. so delta dental of this flow was sucked into what has been to 90 phase. his students will not be able to use this classroom for awhile. when i came, it was not easy to get into the office because mosquitoes, why all of you came and opened the windows and then moved out a beat. but i'm going to get this pre. so that's a tim doesn't have not affected so much because this is larry this summer layer of an area. yes, this area is not new to flooding. then yandell river and lake with toria often overflow into neighborhoods. when it rains.
