it is good to have you with us. hello, adrian, for going here into all the headlines and i was here, ukraine's president is heading to the u. s. for talks with president biden. it's his 1st known trip abroad since roches invasion, and february followed them as landscape also address congress and hold several bilateral meetings and on fisher reports from washington. the to president spoke on december the 11th. at that point there was discussions about the possibility of present zalinski coming to washington d. c. the official invitation was issued last wednesday. it was confirmed by the ukrainians on friday. and then the trip was confirmed itself on sunday. now, unusually for washington. nothing leaked until very late yesterday afternoon, when there was a suggestion that the president zalinski was going to make his way here to washington or president lindsey's trip comes as russia's president vladimir putin was meeting top military officials. speaking to defense chiefs,

putin said that there are no financial limits on what the government will provide to the military recruitment says there's no chance of peace talks or western countries to can continue to supply arms to ukraine. afghanistan's taliban rulers have banned all female students from attending university. the latest crackdown of women's rights takes effect immediately. girls have already been banned from middle school and high school. the deadline is looming for the formation of a new israeli government. incoming prime minister benjamin netanyahu has until midnight local time. to finalize his coalition, peruse, congress is voted to bring elections forward to april 2024. it's been a key demand among protested, following the arrest of former president federal casteel through us in days of violence since castillo is impeachment and arrest. 2 weeks ago, others the headlines. we'll have more news for you here on our 0. what after the stream, which is coming up next now was

a time to be direct. there is a growing realization that rights can be taken away in this country to cut through the rhetoric. how can we resist this narrative and how dangers and demand the truth . join me, mark them on hill for up front, but out there with i of the me. okay. 2022 in africa has seen political and environmental challenges, groundbreaking floating achievements in the well camp. and now people across the continent are looking ahead to the new year. to date on the screen. 3 stories that will make headlines in 2023, including prospects apiece in sedan and a present to lexington broadway. nigeria, if you look to join in the conversation, you can decide on the chip. ah, so we start with nigeria where they are less than 10 weeks to go before general

election. we decide who will succeed. present bahama, duper hurry. joining us we have out 0 correspondent ahmed address already. so good to have you here. welcome to the stream. welcome back to the stream. all we are so good about knology or an election certain weeks away. most people that feels like a very long time. but campaigning has been going on. pretty much all 2022. c what is it like to be nigeria right now? is there election fever? are people wary? what are they like? a combination of both and mall. basically you're looking at an event that occurs probably once every 4 years. nigeria is a lot of like, excited though the company, it's a bag for some people, businesses, it's good business di will make money from the politicians and in preparing election mosquitoes in preparing company my to this and all that. again, on the other hand that i concerns regarding the elections that are hopes and

aspirations, there are also frustrations people are frustrated about their policy to some of the past 4 years, 80 years since the return of democracy. it's a question of expectations not met disappointments on the part of voters, but again, one of the most interesting things for me. people may think that because of these frustrations nigeria is, was sort of sit back and forget about the max. rather, showing some interest in the election. it's not so. a few months ago the election commission conducted a new registration exercise for people who are for to the age of the voting is to people who lost the cards and things like that. and they registered many 1000000 just on the register, so it shows you that there is interest in the campaign process. but again, it also could be because of the new faces in the election. and that's haven't yet. yeah, i mean, let's look at,

look at some of the candidates. i'm curious or any candidates under a 100 years old because my jewelry and politicians tend to be on the senior side. so we put together 3 potential presidents when jury do not know till the end of every well let take a look. this is bullock to nubile. what do we need to know about bala? while i was governor, political stage is credited with transforming lego state from barry and performing state to one of the most vibrant states in the past may go stages among it's probably the only state one of the few states in that kind of salaries without relied from grants from the federal government, it's economy, it's robust business, it's there, and he's been credited with transforming. they go. state is what it is today. he's also credited with raising a lot of political people in this country, from ministers from the vice, even the vice president with his 4 by 8 and when he was governor, not soft things,

absolute, apc for the all progressive congress. we saw a little bit of attic who up backer. this is from the he's a candidate from the people's democratic party. and then also we're going to look at peace. obee, who is from the labor party. tell us the difference between the people some credit party candidate and peter opi. now he toby was running a surprisingly b. b rodney made off to couple worker in the previous election in 2009. now peter will be dropped out of the presidential race and the pdp to join the labor party because he felt that if one of the shortest car for him to become president. and there is a lot of a band we're going to affect what people will be right now. of course, my general many nigeria is young. nigeria is, are frustrated with the way people over the age of 7080. and even ninety's been

handling this country. they find it difficult to relate with these elders. now you know how it is enough. okay. especially if not get away. we are told to respect our elders and people hardly criticize elders, but they see people will be a young man that they can criticize and confront when it needs to be. and that is helping p, toby gather some support on admitted approach. however, that is not the end of the discussion. that serious challenges people will be, seems to be sort of becoming more and more popular with younger voters as well as votes from the south. there is an unwritten agreement by the way, to me because i didn't politicians after every 8 years of power in a particular region in the north for example, after bahati paid blood is 80 is the power power is supposed to ship to the south of the country and peter will be represent that not because he is from

the south, but because a lot of people feel that they was hobbled, presented a presidential candid or even won a presentation election in nigeria, 692 sixty's. when nobody has equate became the president wall officer morning role because it was a positive interest system of government. so a lot of people wanted to give me that benefit of the doubt and they wanted to see a young and vibrant person needed. and i did it however they feel there are many and i get us will feel that people will be as inexperienced and perhaps hasn't understood the re guess a politics in a country like legit but a format. so a formal yeah. yeah yeah. but a form of government. absolutely. and you mentioned 3 human to 3 candidates by the way. yeah. but the fact of the matter is that it's another full force to the we're talking about revenue more so now a bullet to nibble is expected to do well in the southwest of the country. and

there are elements of the ruling part to the apc while willing to both boiler. i mentioned it to power. but again, in the know, the, there are a lot of, or just going to global also because it's based in the south of the country in the southeast a peak just read to me from one of the south is stage a governor. cool. now i'm going to, i'm going to move on a little bit because we could spend the entire show talking about potential candidates and the divide between the north and the south. i want to bring in some voters voices because they seem quite engaged with the process. and these voters were in my to carry, which is in the northern part of nigeria, was often seen as the most part of the nigerian. and this is from november. this is what they had to say about voting in february. as liver, what's before, because now i get my right choice. that's lam what's yes. yes. this is my choice. that's why i'm what's in these them are on your circle we are facing. is that the

lead us we have no. dear wound give rose our choice. it when we, if we have voted for our choice, ah, there will be one for optics. always so many opinions about nigerians when it comes to politics, but who is listening to how the election is run the infrastructure for the elections that that is part of the story for not driven election. surely i tell us more absolutely. the infrastructure, the process itself is based on previous experiences. we're seeing how electrons run in such a stage. i electrons don't hold in such an area and then you see a balance snatching speed violence, manipulation, results, and all that. then they go to court and the court declared judgment on these cases . however, the elections this year will be so close, by the way. i mean, it's so close right now that the election commission is even thinking of the possibility of having

a run off in that genet this. this will be the 1st step by the right. and this is because of the mix, the mix of the presidential candidate median position. so talking about while i mentioned it was parties, the governing party was just a solid base across nigeria. the p d. p which has been for 16 years, is also a solid political part of the country. and the, the labor party which peter or b is a flag bearer, is an up and coming polish, took part in a jetta and his fraction. and again, the puzzles we are talking about is robin was so close from carlo. who is set to divide that more than vote. so that used to be in choosing procedures, right? if i, if he don't show it, we obviously need to show that the know june election and it could just be ahmed and maybe want to guess, but i don't think necessarily needs guess i'm going to bring one more. louis, this is really, this is abby old and she's executive director of global rights nigeria, wondering about how well these elections will be run. this is what you told us. now

it's already been estimated by this day newspaper that mom and 608 to 6 wards of the 8812 wards in nigeria and not say for elections if almost 8 percent of all of the wards in nigeria and not say 4 electrons, can those electrons be considered free of fair? you need to think about the fact those that affect security as well. that there's so much divisiveness, so much hate speech. there's a lot of fake news out there. i so, and gave, yeah, go ahead. i got a really that's, that's what on and by the way, it's not only in those local governments she's talking about, it's a problem that you're subtracting the whole of nigeria from the north east. well, quite, i'm still a little pause in that region where bender trees in the northwest of the country and the central parts of large banditry and kidnapping could not be across nigeria

. and in the tone is what we witnessing over the past few years. if the rise of a separate just will probably be operable, but be independent people. so yeah, for which has been burning and talking on the stations and election officers in the country. so a lot of concern is being raised about the possibility of conducting peaceful elections in this area. this character was promising to support the elective commission to come back up very much. but a lot of niger, i believe that elections is such an interest in the country as a way things. remember, i'm going to stop us now because it will be 10 weeks election time. but i wrap this up right now on youtube. let me just tell you, some of the feedback that we're getting realize are says it's difficult for the youth to participate. they feel left out in government issues. emani. thank peter obee would have had a fighting chance as people see him as the only candidate who really had a vision. but his choice for the p was not well thought out. and then on twitter

some thoughts here. what are the my during elections about religion? have a look here on my laptop, ethnicity, tribalism. and in my jury of politics, pivots around economy and religion. we have 10 more weeks to discuss and june elections. and i'm an address will be with us, but for now i think thank you very much and i really appreciate your analysis. the thing the next we need to see dad falling a piece still between military leaders and a coalition of pro democracy parties. could that be peace in 20? $23.00. hello. hey, is a political it adolescent joins us from london. hello. it's really good to see you . i want to start festival with a little report about where we are with see done with the latest framework deal with a deal that frank was a transition to civilian running of sudan. that transitional process

has been for stored. and this is how we reported it on december. the 5th on out of there that's have a look, a new deal between for dance, military and political parties, the framework agreement aims to and the political deadlock. it allows for a new transitional government, more than a year after the military deposed the previous one. has. the reality has made us remove all cells and all political interests and place the interests of the nation and the people above all. things every time we speak, people are unhappy with whatever deal that is, whatever, till they isn't. so if you are going to characterize this phrase, what deal, what would you say it is as, as neutral as you can be if that's even possible. what from the table and in many ways a deal is a placebo. it makes us feel good. it makes signatories feel like they're signing up

to something that will, you know, realize the dreams and the sort of the desires of the 2018 revolution, which we have to remember, unseated 30 dictates permanent machine, but it is a placebo. and that this is just an emotional reaction, it's very difficult to see how we move from this to the actual difficult work of dealing with the issue that, you know, lead people to take to the streets and the 1st name i'm thinking about who's left out because whenever sudan gets together, the military political leads, sometimes the people often left out. there are always people who left out of, of that, of, of that phase. and then that then means that where, wherever you've, whatever you've achieved, you can't then go on to the next phase because people been left out and then they become your position voices. and they got the progress from happening. if there is to be progress or we're not saying that russian again. absolutely. i mean this deal

hasn't, we've done anything different. in fact, it has in many ways reproduced all the was characteristics of previous he'll be, they political settlements like this one or piece deal. and what's different now is that you have something you reported on many times, which is this very large body called a resistance committee, of who are robust independent and had to maintain the momentum approach to democracy activities for the past 4 years this month. and they are completely outside of this framework. there are other groups as well who outside of, it's like the limits were loyal to the ship. and some former rebels who signed the pieces in 2020. but by and large, the people you want to have them for the future constituents in an election, a completely out of this deal. so thinking about how it's going to, you know, sort of bring about the kind of changes, transformational changes that people that i want to see. it could be very difficult without them is i'm just looking at my laptop here,

the us ambassador to see dad. why does the us ambassador say there is now a credible path to find an agreement that was tasty, done, out of the current political crises? we respectfully urge all seat and the stakeholders to seize that opportunity. that is optimism right there. why? i mean that she means he needs the steel to work out. and i think that that's sort of why you, you see a lot more optimism, a lot more support for the feel within the international community, particularly western countries. more than you see within, you know, so domestic communities and constituents. and so this is led to the sense of the steel is actually for the international community that they are the one who get the most out of it. they get to restart their age. they have all this in markets funding that has been able to be spent since the qu, they get to re engage with the government. once again. there are certain countries,

particularly in the region, thinking of the us in particular, who wants to sign deals related to, you know, comic interest, the cetera and all of that unpalatable. also the coo and now this sort of sanitize of the feel sanitizers relation and engagement with the sydney government. but how this sort of translates to steel translates into, you know, transformative changes for people for that is still very much up in the audio respective design. and she's a researcher and she was skeptical about this deal, which instantly has to be ratified and signed and signed off in within 30 days. the everything has to be achieved by mid january, which is an incredible task for that to happen. this is what ms. ann told us earlier, this still is manifest to very little change in our reality in sudan, and from what i witnessed. it has no impact on the strength or the frequency of the process. there continue and reject of any form of military rules, so dislike them. cotton resistance committees, fox person,

was described that it is not defined from the 2019 agreement as they are both agreements between fractions of the lead coming together to stop any realty in a real democracy in any real em redistribution of wealth that serves the majority of his and his population is also another attempt by the international community as 192019 to force a government of killers on us and to sub list of the needs revolution. i cannot forget the lease a $120.00 protest as few were killed during the crew of 2021. where is the justice for those people who died literally just protesting, raising their voice, saying, this is what we want for our country. where he sat in the still frankly, nowhere you know the deal and you have to remember the framework agreement is a preliminary deal. the final bill, as you said, is meant to take place to be signed off on a month off the initial deal. so early january and within that timeframe, justice is a big issue that is meant to be spoken about. it's meant to be negotiated on the meant to be consensus around that. but the already signed that actually the

signature of audi agreed to some level of amnesty and immunity for the 2 main general to lead last year to which already constrains the extent to which people can feel justice is done. and we have to remember this, the country where does this for the full? it's still 17 years in the making and the 12 of the very sort of slow, slowly coming together. there's a lot of resistance on the resume and call to me about supporting those trials. we have currently several cases of miss cards of justice as a 17 year old boy. mm hm. and adam known locally a to puck, who had been, had undergone torture to exact a full confession, in his cases becomes of the land, mild cases of them which show the extent to which traditional defense is going to be quite intrusive. and has had thank you so much for giving us your view of what is likely to be making headlines in 2020 through 2023, from sudan. appreciate you. many. thank you, bye me. finally 2023 is set to be

a p t f. as in bob way with the countries present, expected to face a strong challenge in a general election privilege. my son, he is a journalist coverings in bob where he joins us. he's placed in doha, qatar at the moment, but looking ahead to the election candidates privilege, we have 2 options or other more than 2 options. privilege. where are we? was in bobby's elections. best kelly is you have said there are 2 major contenders. yes, the incumbent president and my son, monongahela, and nelson and musa, with leading the new opposition formation. the citizens cooperation for change. of course, there is a league you and of other small political parties, but these are the 2 main candidates to main figures. when you about when you

talk about politics in zimbabwe in the forthcoming 2023 general elections. i'm just looking at nothing. jim is on his twitter banner, change champion. behold the new. what is he afraid this new to the broadway? you know, it's hard to say what's new that's being offered and safe to say that, you know, he is a person that has come out of the ranks of the movement for democratic change, which has been challenging the ruling party in the past 20 years. yes, of course you broke away from the content and the if you know fucks now and the breaking patsy movement for don't democratic change to form

the susan correlation for change. so what you can say maybe probably is that the use energetic use somebody who is, who can identify with the younger generation that is also aspiring to see young people taking the reins of leadership in zimbabwe. and he carries might as well, you know, you, your cause and he went on alone is involved, right. is that even possible? it's, it's not really possible. yeah. to just wait on korea. my only. that's why you find that those that are in the ruling party ranks the coffin human and say that he is much or you. he really needs more years for another 40 years then he can run in africa. all right,

so i want to drill down into what is really important for the voters. so in november, i'll just do it through matessa reported on the cost of living in zimbabwe. have a look. have a listen one. making marcia palazzo and her daughter joyce on a tight budget right now they can only afford to spend $30.00 on groceries. the only buying basics the family can't do without, but the price of some essential goods ins above we have gone up again. that means they taking home less this month than they did the last was regular ever? no. there is nothing we can do and things are just too expensive. we try and stretch the little menu we have. so we can buy me back. never enough. just very briefly, what are the key issues that are going to be important for voters come election time in bob? bye. what would i be?

i think from these, the clips that we have just seen. this is the reality for many families in zimbabwe . the best seats. what makes people survive? right now? it's a very difficult yes for a lot of families in barbara. so come going into this, listen. what is the back of the mind of every ordinary in bible in? is that, how is this politician that is going to come into office where the, the one that we know already and may be the aspiring one from the opposition? what are they going to make the difference that they're going to make the people's lives? pretty good question to ask and we gotta just leave it hanging for now. election. tiny, symbolic, june, july. what month would it be constitutionally the elections in zimbabwe are supposed to come between july and august,

the wedding to one. thank you. privilege. we come back to for the latest on said bob, bye thanks for watching everybody. i'll see you next time. take care. ah. calling attention to any quality pollution meant extra judicial killing in kenya's low income communities. my brother was killed by a they don't with voices, but the one passed the one day, an organizer on the wrapper. how old are these people from the guns for me? if he'd buffalo, then how do you want to keep a donkey bus that it will go broke off? will brought in. generation change. can you change is coming is no doubt about it on a just a sense with

in depth analysis of the days headlines from around the world. whatever it did was it to them they have to find because they didn't, they wouldn't get in front assessments. do you think diplomacy still spends a chance?
