why is the election being held so early. >> hi shiulie. he considers himself a bit of an international statesman a player in the world stage trying to raise his country's profile, trying to give it a bigger role, hosting peace negotiations building his exap capital out of the steppe as you can see behind me. in which his country faced difficult choices and indeed it does. the economy here has really been hit hard by falling oil prices. it is dependent on oil revenues largely, has a lot of other mineral reserves too. the russia ruble collapse has hilt hard, and what has been

happening in ukraine another neighbor of russia's, the kasaks are easily things went wrong for ukrainians and basically he wants this election now to hold it now to reassure everybody that he's still in charge that he has a mandate to gofn take this country forward to introduce reforms political and economic. he's even talking about introducing something of a parliamentary government, whether that will actually happen. yes, the capital behind me it looks space an and modern and that's how he wants his country to look, but really the rest of it lots of industrial centers in decline and always the potential for strikes for unrest. so without him no clear succession plan unless he can come up with one and introduce

political reforms. this country is looking a lot less fragile-a lot -- a lot more fragile than he would want. >> thank you. third term in office hoping to win again although local election observers say the election will be close. has ruled since 2005 taking over from his father who was in charge for the previous 38 years. nigeria has recalled its ambassador to south africa, after a spate of xenophobic attacks. thousands have been driven from their homes. a group of russian bikers are on their way to germany despite a warning from poland they won't be allowed to cross

their border. a route of the soviet army is provocative. rory challands reports. >> they sport the look of outlaws, born to be wild, not these days, now they ride for russia and christianity. >> it is orthodox religion. >> leader of the pack is alexander, aka the surgeon. he is on a u.s. sanctions list for involvement in russia's takeover of crimea. at the clubhouse he shows me his favorite bikes and articulated his beliefs in a secretive force attempting to control world affairs. >> there is a new technology now which can destroy almost as much as a nuclear weapon, called controlled chaos.

we see the consequences in iraq, libya syria and now ukraine. this is the great meaning of russia. russia isn't the salvation but probably the salvation will come from russia. >> orthodoxy patriotism, the commitment to control the country, it's easy to see why the night wolves like vladimir putin and vladimir putin likes the night wolves. others find the union worrying. >> this is part of a more general campaign to pit the conservative majority against anybody who would not pledge allegiance to the state. >> poland also has concerns. it says 20 night wolves who plan to plot the soifts soviet flight to

berlin won't be let in. the wolves say even if they are stopped at the polish border they'll still find a way of getting in. they are not hinting how athey'll do that, but suggest they split up through italy and different border posts. that the country is so nervous of a few russians on motorcycles, a leather clad biker organic is one of the government's staunchest allies. rory challands, al jazeera moscow. freddy gray followed a broken spine following his arrest two weeks ago. gabriel elizondo reports.

>> people here are angry, there are so few answer he about the death of freddy gray, they let out frustrations against a history of police mistreatment. several people were arrested. it got ugly for a brief period at the end of the day and parred an overwhelmingly peaceful protest. unlike the others who were mostly made up of african americans in the street a wider cross section of people are joining in. >> what happened with freddy gray and across the country, it is not a new problem it's a very old problem as old as the country. and as long as that problem has existed there's been a movement against it. >> they have the police protecting and serving. the only thing they serve now is disaster and death.

>> reporter: they want the officers to be charged and an end of commonplace police brutality. police are admitting it was a mistake not to get freddy gray medical help when he was screaming with pain and not to secure him in the back of the van. police are on paid leave during the investigation. >> they need justice which needs to be served. >> there is no database of deaths while in police custody but there is unofficial count of 120 in the past 15 years. he has fired more than 50 officers because of wrongdoing but this death of freddy gray show him problems still exist.

and we have to do everything that we can to ensure that the interests and the future of this vital and sensitive region are protected. >> reporter: overshadowing the council's soft power agenda and decision making by consensus concerns about member state russia's involvement in the ukraine and military operations in the arctic. that could cast a shadow over american leadership of the arctic council. >> how will the americans be able to take actions against the ukraine and at the same time, interfering with the arctic council. maybe they can find a way to do it i'm not sure how you do it. >> then there's concerns about the sea bed of the arctic ocean canada u.s. and russia are all look beyond their 200 nautical mile limit, to the store of vast

oil and gas reserves that lie underneath. as the northern sea ice melts those reserves could become accessible. that could increase warming that is already twice as fast as elsewhere on the planet. cooperating against climate change may be taking off but some say it's too little too late. as well, the distractions of geopolitics come at an inconvenient time for the pressing work that lies ahead. daniel lack, al jazeera. the calbuco volcano isn't likely to erupt again but it's still pushing out ash. lucia newman got a close up look at the volcano from the air and saw how it's affecting those nearby.

ensetada. they have come to see what's left of their home . >> we're afraid looters will come to steal the little we have left. >> while the ash is not contaminated it can provoke respiratory problems and skin rashes. chile is a country prone to natural catastrophes like few others. in the last month alone there have been freakish floods and deadly mudslides in the desert. there have been forest fires from an unprecedented drought. and volcano eruptions from not one but two volcanos, many people are joking in fact that the only thing that's missing now are the locusts the people are determined ostay. >> i was born here, i'll stay with or without the volcano. >> reporter: a volcano showing no signs of relenting nor of

allowing families to return home. lucia newman, al jazeera ensenada chile. >> the address to go to: aljazeera.com. town. there's a hitch - he wants you and your neighbours to find the bill for the shiny new luxury boxes and expressway exit and doesn't want to pay much rent. may not sound like a great deal, but over and over cities are muscled into municipally funded sports facilities over threat of leaving town, or promising a new team.
