patriots has been charged with soliciting prostitution seventy seven year old american billionaire robert kraft. to misdemeanor offenses. again this news hour in nigeria where millions are voting in the presidential election poland was postponed last week by the electoral commission which blamed it on logistical problems but it's fear that delay could affect voter turnout president mahmoud zahar is seeking a second term with more than seventy presidential candidates it is a crowded field but the election is widely seen as a two horse race the other leading candidate is former vice president of the car they're both pledging to revamp nigeria's struggling economy just hours before the polls open gunmen attacked a town in northeastern nigeria and the residents fled the town of goods several explosions were also heard in matta gori the capital of borno state apollo's warnings from the armed groups that it would disrupt the vote so we have got

reporters across the country covering this story herman. as in the capital the commercial capital that is lagos when he dresses in manticore in the northeast but first it's going to china hall was in the capital city of bushes so joe know what is it like there where you are the crowd seem to have been standing most of the morning. yeah at a number of polling stations here in ability we've seen very healthy turnout so although independent observers monitoring the vote across the country have indicated that an hour ago ten am only forty percent of polling stations had in fact open that would have been three hours after the official opening time at seven am indicating perhaps the scale of challenge still being faced by the independent electoral commission that of course was forced to call a delay a week ago anyway relief i'm sure that the vote is underway to bring in my guest in by second martin bono is here to speak to me a political analyst also you've done

a lot of work with voter awareness for the tap initiative thanks for joining us this morning the president voted to just after seven thirty. three he was asked will you congratulate the winner at the end of this process he said i'm going to congratulate myself because i'll be there when to do that he was jumping the gun a bit there always at a tighter race than he perhaps things i think. i actually admire the confidence of the presidents in that regard however that also mean back to stick into what's on the electorate for granted because i do end of the day what is and what is a stake is the people of nigeria and the voters the decision to choose your leader is and. since he's on the ballot actually it does mean he's going to be more like a referendum on him if he just performed very well in the last four years so that is what's going to be on the ballot on the law factors going to do it i mean he's going to be really really canvassing well let me ask you about a particular demographic graphic group that i'm interested in that you've done work

with the youth vote eighteen to thirty five they make up fifty one percent of this population fifty five percent. of them are unemployed and a mistake that's an incredibly powerful and annoyed group of voters how engaged are they in this electoral process young people are actually much more engaged in this election process because a lot of things of effect said them is negative so for example you just mentioned the level of unemployment in nigeria in the three just last month they were on universities were on strike for three good months so students couldn't go to school and all that high level of unemployment jobs and every other thing dies really affects and so this other things are going to be on the ballot and most of them are coming with that's kind of anger to express the ourselves and decisions under by looks sort of picking up the bullets essentially so it's going to be on election day i'll do something by young people so it is not going to be an easy race since noxon quick question on turnout healthy numbers here but reports of low turnout

sickly in the south and the possibility that the delay will have affected turnout negatively how important and significant is the turnout likely to be in this election turnout and i would say is not is actually quite encouraging but reports from what the parts of the country signify about morse much of us haven't gotten to some places and so it's actually affects in the elections in that's particular places so it's going to really affect it forty percent on out is quite low so far let's just hope and see that things actually improve as the election progresses ok mark number one of the. voter awareness trainer with the top initiative and watching events closely here with us in our budget back to you all right john a whole life for us and a person john i thank you go to joins us live from at a korean north east and i geria so these attacks that happened this morning these explosions before the polls and what else do we know about this.

will basically be attacks happened. and we've seen how. people despite these attacks not tripping out to polling stations across the city here in the degree however in the northern town of going to dumb voting started delayed because of the incident. around quite use of time to the town of dawn and try to begin once again and the audio was up this morning to infiltrate the town but was beaten back by the military the police and the army have both issued statements saying that the case in my degree was not generally not targeted at c.b.s. and the situation has been brought under control one in the military knowledge there was an attack but their type was repelled and the door to new staking place whether or not the incident will hunt to the number of voters or the tunnel which is about town is unclear at the moment because hundreds of people left town when the fighting is. near time early this morning so here in the city of my degree

things are going on smoothly in most parts of the city in terms of voter numbers people are enthusiastic about this election and we expect this part of the time and just before the end of voting today more and more people will come to vote. and it's just life for us and matter corey thank you let's go now to lagos the commercial capital of nigeria where heaven let's stand by her what's happening where you are. in the national capital this could mean that many of it big between the rich and the very very well it might extreme. political up the neighborhood here in lake life that people had no never letting walk away to see that's what they say they're coming out to well they want change and they have the eye now wait to get in line it has been a problematic polling station between in particular it opened about two hours late some people could define a name that a lot of southgate election officials had looked became suspicious in making the

case what they do not. want to make it as if the nation goes. and i danno how extreme the plumbing is that. i get all the way up there is that you know how a lot of people are living below the poverty level it's made to more than one thousand million people live in extreme publicly even atrocity at the country with oil lots of oil but lots of people in poor areas don't have access to electricity well a lot of people really are concerned about it. like that i mean i don't know the answer they tie it up put it to him who every election keeps saying things are going to change that i mean it kind of into the tell right aramis also live for us and like us harris thank you. plenty more at our including talking up the chances of a trade deal. closer to ending a standoff. straight kids to wall romance why this year's oscar nominated foreign films draw on real life coming up in sport baseball's three hundred million dollars

starts to work and san diego. protesters in sudan's capital have denounced the president's state of emergency omar al bashir announced he was dissolving the government just hours later appointed six new ministers as part of a series of measures to counter weeks of nationwide rallies against the government has the latest. there calling for an end to their president's rule. and denouncing his latest move only hours after omar bashir made an announcement that reflects how much these protests have shaken the government before he. ought to clear the following to impose a state of emergency for one year to dissolve the national unity government to dissolve the provincial governments and we will continue to take measures to

implement what i have resolved ok country requires us to stand together it demands of to remain united patient and tolerant. and we will be an example to follow. for over two months people in sudan have been taking to the streets their anger ignited by an economic crisis they've demanded that omar al bashir step down according to sit downs constitution a state of emergency would allow security forces to arrest those deemed as a threat to the country and its political and economic stability. and you government will be formed which the president says will work on fixing the economy as he called for dialogue some say his announcements are far from what those who've been demonstrating. i want to see happen when the demonstrations are likely to continue the firings are mysteriously for two reasons they cannot make situation is not going to improve and the demonstrations are basically based on economic

hardships so it's not just for him to say calm down this is how when the. economy has not been addressed. demonstrations are likely to continue regardless of the state from agency. has ruled for nearly three decades he came to power in a bloodless military coup in one thousand nine hundred nine overthrowing a democratically elected government. since two thousand and twelve anti-government protests grew over rising costs and. security forces responded each time using tear gas and live ammunition hundreds die. the protests that started in december last year have become the long this wave of anti-government demonstrations since the country's independence with a state of emergency declared protests may be harder to sustain. and bashir may have found a way to end the biggest challenge to his presidency. dorsetshire pari al jazeera.

it's a closer look at what sudan's state of emergency means they give security forces including the military the right to raid houses and buildings without warrants and put institutions under surveillance land property or financial assets can be seized if it's deemed they were used in illegal activities and all groups can be banned or regulated and how their transport and telecommunications control as director of justice africa and non-governmental organization he joins us from khartoum we appreciate your time very much this sounds very ominous the things that are allowed to happen under a state of emergency how is this actually going to play out in people's real lives . i don't think it's going to make any any difference i think if you're if you're asking people for the view of more declared a state of american because there is a prerequisite for the young you have to allow free speech and free organization

and if you are if you are actually did it is difficult maybe that means you know you are this is our image gives you laws and people are more free to speak. and i don't think it's clear that this young. men and women responding to his. immediately by coming out on the street defiant is. decision to. stuff that is not. about understand so are you saying that you don't think that the state of emergency is actually going to be enforced you think it's something he's just saying. yeah i don't think so because now people are coming out the protesting even according to the security they are not allowed to do that because they don't have permissions but they're coming out and defiant of all the tools and even they have a hand that you use the whistle for the rest of activists. that live us public

people i think people are they are they have their the man are very clearly and i think what they what about it is a sponsor you have the money is not for him to try and get to the millions you or because of the government have done that many times and nothing happens that is not going to go so it is even if you ask it sounds like what you're saying is this is actually going to make the protesters even more united and emboldened is what you're saying exactly is going to encourage more people who are you know is banding by. actually coming into this protest to during the protest because they they clearly you know knew that there is no solution they are not offering anything which the country out of this mess that is a problem because the problem which is sudan is just one that was appalled me but there can only probably is the manifestation of the deportees of problem which is

to continue and if someone been in power for ten years and know now that asking people for up to be at the same time beginning instead of just an exception where you have to. you know the model i don't think anyone is going to accept that and i many people are going to come out and i don't think anyone is going to join this of out of the out of which he was a couple so how long do you think the protesters can can maintain what it is they've been doing this momentum. you know i think i think it's a breath mint you choose you know. but i think that the plot is costing the going to be absolute economy of the order to stop and it's good for more of the furthest because most of the moment. but i was doing the whole leasing. the book is. before the continue spending more so that incomes own actually paying

for the police and security to deal with the protestors going to. that news not going to do it and the government can be sent in more and more instability that you see that is a dent. a face mohamad with justice africa thank you very much you're going as well as opposition says saturday is d. day leading that movement long way joe is calling on the masses to help trucks carrying u.s. aid to get in as violence walen struggle for food or medicines present next winter o. has closed three crossings from colombia at least two people were killed on friday after his laces venezuelan security forces opened fire on people trying to cross the border to brazil several others were entered during the scramble to bring foreign aid after material close the border on thursday you go but if you think that i want to believe i must have a president in charge of the republic i'm demanding the borders be open there is

next twelve hours how exactly that aid will then get into venezuela well that's still a bit of an open question. brazil's army says medical supplies and food will be made available for pick up from here beginning on saturday. we're going to respect the sovereignty of the venezuelan territory work is inside brazilian territory we will allow the trucks to enter brazil take the humanitarian aid and go back to their country this is our goal here. at a shelter run by the army and supported by the united nations refugee agency some venezuelans are relieved but others are terrified france the arctic worked as a paramedic in venezuela she says that even want earning that salary she still couldn't afford food but if it were me coming back at last my family isn't at all just high and my idea of coming here was to try and make their lives better i don't see. the point but i don't know what will happen. if

during the first two days of talks in washington officials have been trying to end a seven month long trade war between the u.s. and china are sent donald trump has indicated on march first deadline to resolve the dispute could be extended he says he will likely meet china's march to finalize the agreement sharper tansey has more from washington d.c. . cautious optimism being expressed by both the u.s. and china following these two days of negotiations don't trump saying that the fact that the chinese delegation is staying for another two days shows a deal is possible he said a deal had been already made on current see on the manipulation of currency as the u.s. sees it and on other issues too they've been negotiating on a memorandum of understanding on their outstanding issues the u.s. and chinese but then suddenly donald trump says during a meeting and during a press conference but he doesn't really care about the memorandum understanding he only cares about a final deal and that led to this rather extraordinary exchange green him and his

own trade negotiator the real question is so we do it memorandum of understanding which frankly you could do or not do i don't care if you do it or not to me it doesn't mean very much but if you do remember and of how long will it take to put that into a final binding what for now all right for. you. trade . right no never you mr good document it's good color never going to use it will you are they going to put that into another game what will happen will be a trade if we. featured her i don't want to work assuming you start remotely signed up to be a trade. good good i like that much better i like that term much with. from the briefings we're getting on from or don't trump himself said the goal is to have some sort of meeting with president xi perhaps at trump's florida resort mar and largo sometime in late march to finalize the details. and there are concerns the

mexican president may backtrack on a point as the head of the national guard the controversial strong force is supposed to fight rising crime john hoeven has more from mexico city but. its president lopez obrador has big plan to beat the record levels of violence in mexico the fifty thousand strong national guard made up of military personnel and federal police and they cleared a big hurdle when the senate approved unanimously on thursday provided ok here's your part of the court out of your position and then goes have demanded that the fools be headed by civilian rather than a military officer before they go after months of negotiations when the bill was passed and gone but on friday morning the president pulled them up sure. it's the faculty for naming the head of the national guard is with the president

and it could be a civilian or military officer retired or active it's important to clear that up. if he does name a military head of the force it would be an added concern to those already worried that the bill in shrines the permanent presence of the military on the streets over the next five years and gives them increased powers. the public does trust the armed forces more than the police they seem is less corrupt but they've also run up to tally of human rights abuses since the start of the drug war the military have been in many instances acting as sources of violence in their own right. and it's just the way they operate and trying to do things is to destroy the enemy as they would say themselves are necessary to construe so you introduce another violent act or in an already violent context there's also been criticism that this is all been tried before and failed the last administration kept the military on

the country streets. it also mooted and the only force that was in the end scaled back and said that it would concentrate on homicide rather than going off the kingpins exactly the same tactics the president will presumably do it has announced at the start of his term the end result for the last administration the worst murder rate. security experts have blown up the key to better training and conditions for local police forces but that takes time and political will the president included some of that he's been but it's clear that his priority is his new militarized police force john home in. mexico city as early forces shot dead a palestinian teenager during protests at the gaza border fence on friday the fifteen year old was killed during weekly demonstrations that have been taking place since march of last year at least forty others were injured alice twenty and protesters are demanding an end to israel's blockade of gaza and the right to return to their

lands that were taken when israel was founded in one thousand nine hundred forty eight and palestinian protesters have also classed with israeli troops at a demonstration marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the massacre at a mosque in hebron twenty nine palestinian worshippers were shot dead by a far right american israeli settler at the mosque in one thousand nine hundred four a bronze mainstreet was close to palestinians by the israeli army soon after the massacre palestinians a call for shahada street to be rio reopened saying its closure is disruptive and helps to cement israeli control over the area harry fawcett reports from have. a look gate covering access to the israeli controlled part of hebron israeli soldiers prepare for the protests they found out on rooftops and check buildings before long a group of about thirty demonstrators from the youth against settlements movement heads towards a location these protests have ended in clashes in previous years but this time they're allowed to approach the gate as settlers look on. peaceful there is no

reason. but we are asking to close the open the closed shops the closed markets and. the protests to mark twenty five years since an american israeli settler barrack goldstein entered her bronze ibrahimi mosque during prayers and shot dead twenty nine people whose neeraj was praying that day near the front when the shooting started the main thing. i think about it all the time i was tripping over people lying on the floor the dead the wounded calling for help it's an unforgettable tragedy. in the years since hebron is old city has become starkly divided around eight hundred israeli settlers and forty thousand palestinians living in close proximity and under the control of the israeli army. the demonstrators are also drawing attention to more recent events the israeli expulsion last month of the international observer mission. set up in

the aftermath of the massacre and this week's decision by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to try to shore up his chances of reelection in april by embracing a far right party that had been taboo for the israeli mainstream. back of the protests scientist second group of demonstrators arrives members of major political factions in the occupied west bank more numbers more noise more of a face off with soldiers but no major confrontation this is an end to what was a relatively peaceful commemoration of a terrible day of violence but it still goes to highlight just how divided how tense how militarized the city is twenty five years later how a force that al-jazeera hebron in the occupied west bank security forces an end in administered kashmir happy arrest and nearly one hundred fifty people and response to a bomb attack last week and the pakistani army has warned against any action as tensions mount between the nuclear armed neighbors and the as military says pakistani

intelligence was involved in the assault which left at least forty one any in. pakistan armed as claimed responsibility. we have the determination we have the means to the desired end state we can just point to full spectrum. and i hope you get this message and don't mess with constant. opposition m.p. from the congress party he demanded a tougher response from new delhi last week's attack well i'd like them to be doing things we can talk about frankly i'd like them to be exacting a certain amount of retribution we know who the culprits are they've been running around on the loose in pakistan for some years and we seem to be unfortunately confined to sort of fulminating about them the sad thing is they enjoy the patronage and the protection and apparently the arms and the training of the

pakistani military and that's something that really gets to go to many many indians so these are things that we're very seriously it's a it's a dangerous and irresponsible thing to do and obviously the country to that degree is pretty united on i'm in senegal could decide the country's next president when voters head to the polls on sunday and majority of eligible voters are female and candidates have made women's issues a big part of their campaign platforms for the first time in twenty six years there is no female candidate running. it's the final stretch in the campaign trail for a candidate mikey running for a second term in office with one rallying cry. together sharing a common hope. slogan to attract women because there are more women are eligible to vote than men. electrical technician is too busy working to attend political

rallies but she says promising hope is not enough change is what women want. to listen for the times have changed we are a work force like any other and i expect our new president to give us the same rights as men. and. women are not just paid less than men they're also taxed more inheritance and family laws favor men over women. and although a law was introduced in two thousand and ten women to have a bigger role in politics there are big gaps between the sexes senegal has yet to adopt a gender discrimination law that the first three did because there we have it since two thousand and ten we have one of the feel confident enough because it has it and even in the war we have. made afforded to be put on a form and that doesn't translate into what you see patients are going to get back to patient information. for the first time since one thousand nine hundred ninety three there are no women running for the presidency and so the male candidates are

making promises to women political newcomer song says if he's elected he will increase maternity leave and impose tougher penalties against sexual violence mikey says he has made a health care free for mothers and their children. he wants to include more women in his cabinet in the civil service and is promising more jobs for young female graduates senegalese women are expected to come out and vote in mass on sunday because among many other young voters he demographic in this election in a challenge for a president must be solved it should be both the candidates to continue reading and change. among them is voted still undecided who to vote for she's unfazed by political promises or slogans but determined to make her vote count nicholas hawke al-jazeera the car. a sweeter schoolgirl has taken her fight for the
