4:04 pm
it will be very difficult for her adrian, because one of the most difficult things, perhaps in politics in this country, is to governor, to build bridges between the practice and congress. now this is her main task. she will have to decide between today and tomorrow, who will the next prime minister be? and she have said yesterday in her, in her speech that she wants to have a cabinet that will be all inclusive. that means not only people from different parties from representing all parties, if, if she's able to, but also people from out side of lee. but this is a huge country, and politics have usually been concentrated in the mind that capital, well, she wants to expand. as former picketed did expand. the post is for the governments to people who are,
4:05 pm
is from other parts of the country, the highlands, especially where she comes from. and that has a huge population in great need. very, very poor. now she also, yesterday, for a trade in experts are already said, well, perhaps congress will give her a one month truth. so she needs to move faster than she needs to consolidate. a, a good group because she has, she doesn't have alliances in congress. she, she was expelled, like just feel from the party that took them to governments. so she has to build these alliances, but it won't be easy and she does not have the support in the streets. she's neil and already we are seen some protest in parts of the country, especially the south, and the center in the highlands of the country of people from supporting to feel
4:06 pm
and protesting against the naming of the not one page. most people have been saying before and are saying no that they want everybody, they want your action or you mentioned trust you that our former president who's under arrest. what does the future look like for him? i think that the future is like the one that to that most of the former proved interested in our facing. they are facing justice for corruption charges. she, he was actually, he was, he was going to the mexican embassy to take political asylum in there. the believe is the mexican member, and she was actually arrested by his own escort. and so he was taken to the police station and last night he was low to the jail that has only
4:07 pm
one other inmate. and that is a former student, alberta who might be a special jail for, for a former president that's worked at the a will remain for now until the prosecutor now changes the case to a former president that doesn't have the immunity he had when he was you know if it's not an essential as reporting, live that from lima peru. many thanks for the marianna nigeria is ami has been accused of running a secret illegal abortion program. the voice of these agency is reporting at least 10000 pregnancies have been terminated in nigeria. ne, since 2013 many of the women had been raped. some of the victims say the book or her, i'm fighters, were responsible. nigerian ministry leaders deny the program ever existed. in the beginning, we were in our town. booker, her arm came and attacked. they grabbed us and took us away to the bush. after that, we were in the bush in their hands. soldiers came and took us. after that,
4:08 pm
they took us to give our barracks and they are boarded our pregnancies. all zeros from mila is in a butcher. she's with us now live from it of the my jury of military hands to my these allegations. what is the, what do they say? well, the nigerian military address to media earlier on thursday to our to, to, to counter these allegations by the way to news agency and also issued a written statement. and that statement also included a number of very strong adjectives and response a to that to investigative report. saying that the allegations are concocted their evil according it demonic journalism, wykard, and also saying it's a fictitious series of stories intended to insult nigerians and nigerian culture that its soldiers are trained to protect lives. and they have no program. we have
4:09 pm
thousands of women, a systematic program. oh, it is put it where women will forced to have abortions. there's no such thing. and nor has the nigerian military deliberately harmed or killed any children or whether by suffocation, by poisoning or by shooting. and that's also out one of the stories that the nigerian a government has said that reuters a has investigated which had wanted to respond to our via reuters at the time. and instead this sir, report has come out which the nigerian government has now responded to. now this is a little more of what the nigerian government of, via its military had to say earlier today. and the reason i keep asking is this, oh, good interests of the military to 12 q. their own kits and kin or what is interest?
4:10 pm
whose them, you know, married to you forever would say lou here. no linkage incident practices against our people. there are forces where will, where people buy. man, no, we men from the sellers have before. look, a good mental does country and there is no single unit or formation where you have only a group of food does coming from me, but less but of the country. so war with the interest no need to take you back to some of those allegations made by reuters. there are 2 parts to it. one that women who were rescued from book are on fighters in the last 9 years were forced to have abortions in that report. they speak to a number of women than one of them saying that when she was rescued and she was
4:11 pm
kept in a dark room and uniform soldiers came in, giving her tablets as well as injections, which then resulted in an abortion now for her and the other women that she was with, and also a secondary allegation around the killing law of nigerian children by at the military. and now the chief of defense we heard from bay and said that nigeria is a facing a number of security challenges. despite that i, its soldiers are, and nigerians cherish life and in no way have carried out such a program. it's also in that statement that he went out to, to went to our, to point out that they have also had a number of the car. um, fight is more than $80000.00 who in at least the last year have surrendered. they are being in 3 integrated into nigeria and societies are really at pains to counter that investigative report by reuters and zeros from miller reporting live from a bow. jeff, and he, thanks for me to still to come here on these are germany says that there will be
4:12 pm
more arrests after police detained. 25 members of a far right group who are accused of plotting to seize power trades unions in trying to get involved. and nationwide, protests against the rising cost of living and brazil hope to keep dancing their way through the world cup as they prepare for their quarter final match against croatia. ah, germany says that it expects more arrests on rage in connection with the far right plot to overthrow its government. police raided 130 sites across the country. on wednesday, the prosecutor general says that 25 people were detained for planning to violently seize control of parliament. a soldier, a judge at a russian, national or among those arrested is this issue which puss, but it's not really comprehensible. you hear about such plans in other countries,
4:13 pm
but to this to happen outside my front door. the government we have is not ideal, but probably better than what they had planned as it is i 9 sure. it's a shock that our neighbor organized to put you at the far right. radicals with those. let me call them fascists. this quite honestly. i'm shocked that this prince things. he has the right to do something like this, against a democratic rule of law is supposed to be honest. i have no words it so far away from what i personally believe. so i find it hard to grasp when i dominic cane is following developers for us in berlin. when the officials announced the arrests, the scale of the arrests, the scale of the operation being undertaken, they made clear that the number of people who were of interest to the police was greater than the number of people that they arrested on wednesday. so the point they're making is that there may well be at some point, although not necessarily today. there may well be further arrests, whether they are eminent or not. it's not something that we can really comment upon
4:14 pm
because it hasn't been made known to us. the interesting thing therefore, is in the absence of that development, what people are doing today is looking at what happens and, and asking several questions about how it could happen in germany. and that's, so the question is played out in the newspapers today. this is the thank for the aga minded sites on that says a strike against the ice blogger movement or i sport a group of high school being people who would have germany returned to the type of imperial state. it was prior to the end of the 1st world war, not a democracy. at that point. this is a dutch exciting, which has the same sort of same photo of the alleged ringleader man called hi melissa voice, a minor aristocrat in germany, in this federal republic. and this time, the headline says the security forces thwart a strike against the state to the tunnel with the build site on refers to 100 twice, again, calling him a terre prince and that he wanted to bring down the government. and then finally,
4:15 pm
this is the bit set newspaper local newspaper here in bullet. and it refers to that judge who was part of this alleged plot, which is also a former member of parliament, the very parliament that she suspected of plotting to overthrow and lear a details about her and what she had planned that she is referred to in this headlight, headline billions, give fairly external vista in berlin's most dangerous judge. lots of questions being posed in both in the meet the newspapers. but also it's a feeling that many people have how this could happen. and also how people could reach such high positions in public life. and yet on the face of it, allegedly have such views that speak through higher funky, who is said professor of political science at the free university of berlin. he joins us now live from berlin, professor, good to have you with us out close to fruition was this plot? could it of 60 to do you think, i mean, what do you make of the people behind it?
4:16 pm
how extensive is the network? there is a network, but we shouldn't over do it. there was no at all a kind of could at time that could be implemented like the attempt in washington at the 6 of january last year. so it's a smaller group. they're very decisive in terrorizing our democracy. they, they are a terrorist group. but these persons who came out of various institutions and levels of the society picked out and they don't represent anything except the the rice burger movement itself, from the less professor it must have come as a huge shock to the political class there in germany. what does it tell us about
4:17 pm
the strength of the far right that and the danger that it poses to liberal democracy? it's a danger, but it's a limited danger. i repeat that because so you know who is for them. these are to a degree in various intensities, this movement against against corona politics. and there is the party a f, t who, one of them is now being a part of the plot, but not the a f d itself. and this party has 12 to 14 percent. yeah. so they won't get power whatsoever. may be in a state like during out, you know, years. so it's not a danger for 10 microsecond, very structural professor,
4:18 pm
that the perception is depend on if, if we look at what the media saying, the perception of on many people is that the far right is, is on the right. yes. at the moment, everywhere. not just there in germany, but right across europe. what does, what does europe have to do than to neutralize that threaten? is that, that you're saying the danger isn't as great as perhaps the perception would suggest the perception is we have to be aware and to fear about the stability of democracies and. and again, this german democracy is stable, although they have to be more attention a get attention on these groupings. they didn't pull it up to the last 2 or 4 years . think about the in su, the national socialist underground, or they didn't perceive it. they didn't see it, they didn't come to terms with it for long period of time. only since the last
4:19 pm
2 to 4 years, the leading and adam, the leading persons in the security institutions are aware and taking extra like just city. so that's a good sign. put to, to defend the democracy with respect to the far right. you're right. yeah. all in nearly all the best and european states, we have this growing tendency, but turn to the democratic majorities, fight them back except the situation in util. yes, professor, really good to talk to you. i appreciate you being with us many thanks. and h o u. s. basketball player britney grinder has been released by russia in a prison, a swap. the 2 time olympic gold medalist was arrested in february and sentenced to 9 years in prison in august. she was convicted of smuggling and possessing cannabis oil. let's go live now to moscow on to 0, highly ali hash m as sir the alley. tell us more about this release. what rushes
4:20 pm
foreign ministries sang about. it that said victor about the russian has been swapped to the us basketball player, britney granular. and that took place in the airport. this is what the ministry of foreign affairs yet moscow said that the russian national has been expedited or at least swapped with the basketball player who was imprisoned here and russia. this is the only line we we ran from the ministry of foreign affairs that said that more information is expected to be announced in the coming hours. however, this swap comes only 24 hours after a phone call between the russian president vladimir putin and the president of the ever if lahoma bins, i could put then we can put this into into context what i've,
4:21 pm
since this swapped took place and the eminence and then this monarchy at all was that it was clear in the did the swap operation. so this is all what we know. we are waiting to know when victor bought is going to live here. and most school, especially that the whole thing happened away from me. and now everyone is knowing about this because it's being announced. the, however disrupt, the srp took place and each, each of the prisoners ran to that country. we don't know if the russian national has already lived in moscow or lock. this is to be he already i've no, i know, i know. i know that he ordered the i lived in moscow so he's now in moscow. and so the whole operation took place and it's complete. and what do we know about this, this man? victim, the bounce, he was at arms dealer. right. well,
4:22 pm
what we know about him is that he is a russian is an army needa and he was, he was arrested in the us and was in prison. daddy was serving a sentence in the prison. that's what me, you know, we know also that britney was arrested here. most goes at fort 4, having got to be as, as, as the russians said, and, you know, these issues are quite, you know, very, very critical, very sensitive. so this is, this is the much that we know about what happened just like few minutes ago. so i would be able to really elevate more on this issue except what we've heard the hash reporting live from moscow. well, president biting said that he has spoken with the brittany griner. he said, tweeted at the moment, she is a few moments ago. she said, she's on a plane. she's on her way home. the president said he is intending to make
4:23 pm
a statement within the hour will bring that to you live. if we can hear on our 0 will so speak to washington correspondent in a few minutes. in the meantime, china as president, she's in ping is meeting saudi arabia is king and proud prince date 2 of his visit . oil markets are expected to top the agenda. the agenda. saudi arabia is trying to biggest oil supply. it's nearly $44000000000.00 worth of crude oil to the country. last year. let's bring in our senior political analyst. my one boshra who's in the studio one rose a really good piece on this meeting between the chinese and the saudi arabians at 0 dot com, which you should take a look at if you can. my one is china looking to step on washington's toes with this visit. certainly a washington think. so i would imagine that there are quite upset, i would say,
4:24 pm
angry to say seething in washington. i thought push mall between china. so the china and gulf countries, china and middle east, in general, because america thinks of the region as its own sphere of influence. and the fact that by then just said 5 months ago, we are not leaving on. we don't want to chinese different and you void that. so these and the rest of the gulf countries are hosting the chinese president. and in fact, by the way, if you look at the chinese government website, you'll see how much they're boasting of how well they are being received, even better than by them. but what the us expect, you've got a whole new generation of younger leaders in the middle east right now whose world outlook is, is totally difference. absolutely. it's much wider, less separate that way they, i have a $180.00 over $360.00 degrees view of the world. a lot of him are western educated . there are a lot of them are well spoken. foreign languages lived in the west and,
4:25 pm
and other parts of the world. they understand the world. and they understand that they're on have to have one direct relation that could have hybrid relation with a number of influential bowers around the world. so while they have and still have it's very important to note, the most important relationship is still with the united states. the security architecture in the gulf region still dependent on the united states. but if saudi arabia wants to have important summit meetings with its most important training partner, and the, the most important export martin of oil to china is the biggest main saudi arabia is that china's biggest exported or oil. then they're making sure to be upset with their maintenance upset about is that china wants to have deals in technology and telecommunications or so for you that then i can the us ever do you think expect, i mean, what is, what is the u. s. want now, does he want to go back to that the good old bad old days when it was the exclusive
4:26 pm
ally more or less in the movies? i mean, can it ever accept that? it's going to be just another. okay. all be influential, but just another trading part of it. i mean, what is, what is china? what out of this relationship, you know, 300 years of history teaches us that arising power and the dominant power are vested for conflict. you hope that wiser, cooler minds with take over and that we won't have any major blow up between china and the united states. but clearly the united states sees in china and major, not just competitor, even nemesis. and yes, the united states, as a and american govern spokesman, said just, just at the about this chinese visit to the region that we think we americans are much better partners than china or any one else to bring about security and prosperity to the middle east. right. ah, the history doesn't exactly bought word for that kind of statement, but they are seething. they are angry, they are upset that china is coming in and taking in all, taking
4:27 pm
a good chunk of their own sphere of influence. no doubt, read more of my one's thoughts a turn out a 0 dot com really is worth looking at that to article our senior political analyst . well, and be sure it was great to talk to your mom and mckinney. thanks indeed. now my rod has reportedly executed the demonstrates who took part in anti government protests that began in september. mawson. shikari was convicted of wounding a member of the paramilitary forces with a weapon and blocking a st. nationwide protests for account of the death of 22 year old master armine in police custody. nearly 3 months ago, on sunday aaron's public prosecutor announced that the morality place so called morality police had been disbanded. a base 3 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces during a raid of neat janine refugee camp. a large group of israeli forces was seen entering the area in the occupied west bank in the early hours of thursday. the

4:32 pm
or maybe after the nation's like final demo. what can you tell us about the new coach, louis de la fuente? well, it's a coach with no a professional experience. his and internal solution. he's been under 21 coach so he knows all these young generation a spanish new players are in according to his stuff with the idea might be quite similar to lose under get according to his personality, yet absolutely opposite the person i listen to it. he's got such a personality, he likes to speak to be in the spotlight a lose the left hand is the opposite. loose enriquez factors? i had a difficult relationship with it with the spanish media wash. they always like, we can't say anything right now because the team would do reasonably well. yeah. but the noise it leslie out for the suit, is that the seat against against japan? and then obviously when they got knocked out against the rocker, there were many sharpened knives out of the table and it had been fired. 48 hours in the spain have been all about trying to do this moment happen. so that's why the

4:35 pm
have with him and he already has a made the trip to capt. off from all to, to support the site cornish or 0 more the force. okay. we see the effort that everyone has made to come here and be part of the game and also the people enjoying it from argentina. i know that all of our gen tina would like to be here, but that isn't possible. the unity that we have enjoyed for a while is very beautiful. every match. it's incredible how they are living each game and transmitting so much passion and energy. i thank them because it's incredible. left brain camera again to talk about the 1st quarter final and matches on friday, breathing, brazil against croatia. of course, brazil are always the favorites that will cup us, but we cannot underestimate croatia, can we? no, we cannot because they are a fighting team and they proven that they're hard, very, extremely competitive for, for me. favorites are brazil because say they have fall that power in the forward
4:36 pm
line and they are being a very strong in the defends with their martina santiago syllabus. so i think they are very reliable timbered, so when craw christ's crowds out there, and you can never say they are gonna stop fighting and they are specialist in penalties. jabber the other guy because the argentina that louis i'll be covering for our to 0 on friday. it's arguably the closest match up out of all the quarter finals this year. and that definitely the dots are the biggest threats out sir. bessie anders are well cup drip. yeah, definitely because ha message in an extraordinary moment to my thing. he men and barbara holly has been the most stunning individual performances so far. but i still have to see our gentlemen convincing me for their full 9 to minutes day yet great when they are in control of the game. but when they are not, you can see their weaknesses. and if there is a coach smart to attack that weaknesses that there's no yvonne gul yamaha gee she both says quarter finals going like your predictions you think is going to end up
4:37 pm
in penalties. ah no, i think roy sure, maybe they might be a little bit to tie yet after they're less though 16 tie saw. i think i'll go with brazil and argentina while international fans that have been the central part of this woke up. another group of supporters is just as passionate about their teams. delivery drivers from kenya, gambia and a gonna play in invisible, but critical role in several industries. and cutter and football is in their blood . ah, motorcycle drivers, zigzag across the city in doe hobb, delivering fast food groceries and even medicine. but when african teams are playing, they can often be found one of the pre screenings. i thought to be honest with them because they came the game and did a good job with finding the name of africa in discipline. daniel brenda came to
