3:41 pm
participation of high school students and families, people at the rally strongly condemned italy's unwavering support to the israeli regime. italy, that claims to be democratic nation, is a country where the government goes against the people's will, prophets always come first even when a genocide is taking place. i'm teaching. my kid to never give up the fight and to never accept being submitted. the italian defense minister guido croseto has recently said that rome has continued to export arms to israel despite assurances last year that the government was blocking such sales following tel aviv's invasion of the gaza strip. some italian media reports recently revealed that despite the italian government's denials, the value of arms sales to israel more than trip. in december 2023 compared with the same month in 2022 and december last year was the peak

3:43 pm
a special time for britain's 3 million muslims. the fasting hours are long, up to 20 hours a day, but the physical and spiritual rewards are worth it. ramadan has been a fantastic time uh, in sense, in the sense that it's about spiritually connecting. with the law of the heavens and the earth and detoxing your bodies. ramadan is the month of prayer in the quran when muslims do their best to cultivate will power, discipline and self-restraint. but ramadan isn't just about self-sacrifice, it's about sharing food with your family and friends. it's about increasing solidarity with fellow muslims, and it's about showcasing the beauty of islam to the non-muslim majority living in the uk. being involved in a community helps me to understand. stand the muslim community even more and to be able to share that with my
3:44 pm
community back in the states. welcome back, the nigerian government says it's stopped military cooperation with the us with immediate effect. in our news review program, we've delved into the story and asked for some expert. the government says it has broken its military cooperation agreements with the us, calling the accord illegal. the us presence on the territory of the republic of niger is illegal and violates all the constitutional and democratic rules. which would require the sovereign people, in particular through its elected
3:45 pm
representatives, to be consulted on the installation of foreign army its territory. abramana said the government revoked with immediate effect a military accord that allows military personnel and civilian staff from the us department of defense its soil. the declaration came just day after senior us delegation left niger following a three-day visit to renew contact between the two countries. us relations with njar faces challenges after a military... who ousted the western back to president in the african country last year. however, the us still stations some 1,00 troops in niger a desert drone base. niger has previously severed military ties with its former colonizer france. it forced french troops in the country to withdraw after nearly decade. fidal amzusu, international relations and security analyst joins us from akra. we also have uh with us jonathansa who's a publisher at africa briefing who joins us from london. welcome to you both. fidol, let me first start with you and i'm just gonna quote the
3:46 pm
um niger's military spokesman uh, because he pretty much uh explained why this relationship is going to end and i'd like to find out from you what your reaction is to for example how he said that the agreement that was signed between niger and the us back in 2012 was imposed on niger and had been in violation of the constitutional and democratic rules of the country and its sovereignty. tell us why this was imposed, what he means and how it violated near sovereignty? thank you. very much sir for this opportunity um firstly uh the year um under review which is 2012 was year when um extremists uh were awarded in the sahil so in mali and niger we found al-qaeda in the islamic maghrib and saraddin a tarek back
3:47 pm
group that was sweeping across. across the region taking cities in central mali and in the in north west niger so that was the time operation bakin by france was started and so it was the same time the us decided to establish uh a drone base in niger in order to fight extremists now the processes that led to that uh could could may have been not that tror or may not have followed laid down rules as the military gentle claims, however at the time it was more of emergency situation that brought the united states to the place. um, currently we've seen a kudita in niger and janta is having to um cut ties with uh the uh west and so france has been removed from niger and so this current
3:48 pm
announcement that the uh janta is ending its relations with it's not so surprising despite the fact that us foreign policy with niger has been different from that of france. okay, well let's get into that foreign policy and again i'm going to quote the nicher's military spokesperson who has said jonathan offside, the government of niger regrets the desire of the american delegation to deny the nigerian people the right to choose their partners and the types of partnerships capable of helping them to truly fight. against terrorists, and he said niger forcefully denounces the condescending attitude of the us. it to me, it sounds like niger is saying that the us is not a partner when it comes to fighting terrorists. yes, look, see, they are for the wording of the government spokes man, one word and not
3:49 pm
stands out, condescending, okay, look, is a small country, so-called impovers country, the us, you know, it's a super, the world's only superpower if you like, right, and according to the jter statement, um, the u.s. did not follow the normal diplomatic protocols, you visit a country, i mean, you for the host government, and even state the number of the delegation. okay, but in this case, america did not do that. according to the uh, the the the spokesman again, his statement, and they just came in, even not on on the date that was agreed upon. okay, so that was condescended, and i believe that during the meetings they had, i mean the us,
3:50 pm
as usual, might have tried to impose certain conditions. the us is is not happy with the with the with mali, bukina faso and djs increasing alliance with russia, so that is what the us was trying to to count, but the us is failing and to to to to see that the the geopolitical situation in fragof, west africa is changing. they could have taken a kill from um niger, mali, uh, bukina fasso, you know, expelling french troops from their territories, okay? they should have taken a c from that and at least try to uh deal with niger maybe as ikor but not in that condescending manner so the reaction by niger
3:51 pm
was natural nigeer wanted to or or wants to assert its sovereignty it independent right the the dynamics in that region are changing so this is what the us has to take no so what in my opinion what n was the right one, it may come at the cost, but then um sovereignty always asserting your sovereignty always comes at your courses. thank you very much for that. fidel, ausu, international relation and security analyst and jonathan, publisher at africa briefing. thank you to both. with that we come to an end for this news review. now moving on, russians are casting their ballots on the third and final day of presidential election. president vlad putin's favor to win another chairman office.
3:52 pm
officials say 60% of the eligible voters cast their ballots in the first two days uh across russia's 11 time zones and in online polling stations. this includes online balloting in four ukrainian regions and next by russia in 2022. the initial results are expected to come out later in a day. "the voting comes in ongoing fighting in ukraine, putin has used gains on the ground against ukrainian forces and russia's economic growth despite western sanctions to cement its popularity. the 71-year-old president has already served seven terms in office and five terms as president. now over to the us republican nominee for president donald trump says that there will be a blood bath if he's not elected to the top job." "if i get elected, now if i don't get elected, it's going to be a blood bath for the whole, that's going to
3:53 pm
be the least of it, it's going to be a blood bath for the country, that'll be the least of it. if this election, if this election isn't one, i'm not sure that you'll ever have another election in this country, does that make sense? i don't think you're going to have another election in this country, if we don't win this election, i don't think you're going to have another election, or certainly not an election that's meaningful." addressing gathering of gop supporters in ohio, trump urged the voters to vote for him in the november presidential elections and called himself a friend of american taxpayers. trump lashed out of his democratic rival and in common president joe biden saying that he has destroyed the country's economy. he said americans will not enjoy proper social security, medical and other welfare services with biden in office. campaigning is intensified in recent weeks in the us with trump. trump and biden attacking each other's recording character. then common president and his eights have described trump as a threat to democracy. and with that we're
