hello, we begin in nigeria where violence continues to overshadow the run up to which presidential election on wednesday a senate candidate was killed by gunman in the southeastern integral states. nigeria has faced decades of security challenges caused by arm groups in the north as well as separatists in the south. so there are 18 candidates who are competing to become president, but 3 are believed to be. the front runner is to replace mohammed dubois hurry. at least 9 to 3000000 people are registered to vote. there's a cash crisis, a shortage of fuel and corruption. they've all dominated election campaigns. her which also has more from integral. this is the area where the man running for senator was attacked on wednesday night. he was driving along this road in a convoy and he, when he got to the spot, you see that was there. with the black foot dusty, some armed men open fire, they killed him and some of his party supporters then set fire to the car. the car soon peter moved by security forces and if you look up along this road, it's

a place where it's mainly stop. but a lot of shops are still closed. that because people say they are nervous, they're not sure what is going to happen with and they just taking precautions. and when you ask people about the move here ahead of the elections, they'll tell you that things are tense and some of them are nervous. they'll say, try not to leave the city santa try not to drive out of town on the road because you could get kidnapped. were lama mccarthy's. senior fellow at the tony blair institute for global change. he says the security situation in nigeria has never been so unstable that at city may jo, i'm groups in the country that are operating went in. this house is where this happened when in the north west, on the north central, which is a criminal gung no. can you call bun needs that has an estimated 30000 men and have been killing people. they have today over 10000 people over the past 10 years and have a store. it runs on in 1000000000 millions of dollars. and then in this north,

when it's done, padlock nigeria, there is it. you had to group a group claiming to fight what is lam old will go out on that as you will by that to 5000 people. that groups one of each p less ideological p less is to disrupt nigeria as democracy. and we know that they do step up at tags when ever elections are to be held, including the last elections in 2019 and in 2011. they even succeed at enforcing that judas election to postponed by 6 weeks because the security forces said they would not guarantee security. so insecurity. so widespread 3 major m groups and we have never seen this in the history of the country. unfortunately, as i drove the 3 groups, i mentioned a fake news, conspiracy theories and false information on social media is likely to exacerbate things and live to commission our community tensions, especially because the 3 major candid it to come from 3 different ethnic groups. anthony different parts of nigeria,

and we know that an unscrupulous politician sometimes exploded those kinds or 4 lines in order to ignite one community against the other. israel has carried out airstrikes on the gaza strip and began in the early hours of thursday morning as really forces targeted what they said were hamas military sites. hours earlier, a 6 rockets were fired from garza into israel. they really are and he says it intercepted 5 of them. no casualties were reported. this coming after hamas said it would be responding to the killings if at least 11 palestinians during a raid by is really forces in nablus on wednesday. more than a 100 people were injured. in the say, it has more from garza who was witness to in all the previous escalations. they're launching of rockets from the gods. a strip is that they were in response to any israeli attack that has happened in the west bag in east jerusalem or even here in the gaza strip. are the policy you groups have made it clear in their statements

issued i ever after every air strike and even after this last air strike by islamic jihad, they said that the of the people of the garza and the policy and people have the right to defend themselves and what a d, a resistance has done in responding is a very, a fair response to the aggression off the occupation towards the palestinian people . how must confirmed the same statement and added to weight that the general strike a protest that are taking place here in the gaza strip. and the launching of rockets comes as a confirmation that all palestinian people are one and that there is no division between the west bank and the gaza strip. and so they are watching and monitoring closely what the occupation will be doing in the west bank in becoming days.

generals are being held for some of the 11 palestinians killed by israeli forces. and nobliss on wednesday night brought him, has more from the occupied westbank plug ins are still laying their loved ones to rest this morning to funerals are taking place in different cities in the occupied west bank, one man who succumb to his ruins after they read in nablus and another was a come to and that he sustained 2 weeks ago after and israeli read on wednesday. it was the deadliest raid into decades. 11 palestinians were killed in the city of nap. it's this is why you're seeing the streets behind the mtv, the tours shot palestinians say that they want the world to know what's happening to them. but also have been hearing from many felicity and saying that they feel left alone dealing with the israeli army, that they don't have any protection. and they took a lot about impunity. and this is exactly why i'm joined here by mr. lee ann from

a huck organization. mr. thing we keep hearing policy is talk about the i c c, the international criminal court. they want to investigate what is happening with the icpc. actually, everybody knows that i see prosecutor concluded its preliminary examination 2 years ago and decided to open an investigation into that situation. and the 3rd time, based on our knowledge, no practical steps have been taken so far, not the pull to these this investigation. and we have been calling on the court and a prosecutor to take these steps to conclude the investigation. unless this investigation is concluded, we believe that crimes will continue to be committed. and unless sanctions are imposed on the 5th of israel, the occupying fore, we believe that these crimes will continue to be committed

ah, in the number of people killed an earthquake since her kit and syria has risen to nearly 50000, nearly 8000 after shocks have been felt since the 1st large tremor is 2 weeks ago. inferior. nearly 6000 people have died and millions are homeless. somebody say don is joining us now from donna and turkey. so as her saying so many people are homeless. where you are, tell us what you've been seeing and what people have been telling you well, with the now is focus on clearing up the rubble cutting up that mess. but also i'm trying to get people into what they call these contain the cities. now today's the 1st day that they kick off with phase one, they hope to get people into 15000 units of these container cities. that's to try

and give people something of a more stable existence. rather than living out in the tense, in the cold, in the weather conditions, you're not exactly conducive to people trying even to return to something of a normal life. official is also talking about prefab homes being put up. and i can tell you we're driving out on the highways. we've seen a lot of laurie's carrying prefab home. so there's a big push to try and get people, as i said, out of these tense which are not ideal for anything beyond the immediate recovery period. well it's, it's a daunting task and help with settling people can't come soon enough. if you listen to what the united nations is saying. they're saying one and a half 1000000 people have become homeless in southern care because of these earthquakes, they say a half a 1000000 homes need to be rebuilt. and they say up to 210000000 tons of rubble need to be clear. just to put that into contexts and perspective that is

enough to fill 30 square kilometers of land. that's an awful lot of rabble rabble, of course is something we've been talking about over the last few days. as we've witnessed rescue cruise pull people out alive from under the rubble like hold on with one family that has a heart wrenching and heart warming story and incredible story of how they were trapped under the rubble. they thought they were going to die. and so they filmed a message to the world to ask for help, but help for others outside of the rubble. the $1.01 of them showed, was trapped under the rubble families pinned down by collapsed concrete and struggling to breathe. telephone if we die and this phone is found. there are 5 of us here. come on, rush under the rubble of this massive earthquake. when they decide to film what

they believe are their final moments. but this is not the incredible story of their survival. this is the incredible story of their selflessness. whoever finds this phone, please help me fulfill my promises to people. please give them stuff a 2500 lyrics and you own the children, the often 5000 lire, please, and paid to them on my behalf. the family had collected donations and were worried, the money in their apartment wouldn't make it to the needy. this is what's left of what the current family once called home, the powerful earthquake reduced an entire compound of towers to dust underneath, fatma otto and their 3 children endured 10 hours of agony. incredibly, they were rescued alive, all except the youngest son belie july. his mother filmed in playing with his brother before the quake in what would become his final moments for it concert. we

heard the tremor in the early hours of the morning, the building shook her into the children and my wife followed well, i called out loud and he looked at me. but before i could pull him out, the building collapsed and surviving an earthquake. and then surviving being tramped under the rubble of your own home. that's an unimaginable deal. but then walking above that rubble, that can be painful to we're looking for below things like his clothes or books. i had a son here, he talked laugh and slept here. when you're walking on top of your path, each footstep forward takes you back with drops or so it's very difficult to be here. it's bringing back bad memories out of the each scoop raises hope. each item uncovered pools. suddenly a mother is confronted with what she thought, but didn't desire her dead son's shirt. some food and tea can fill

the void of hunger and not the emptiness of losing a son. so you're in the middle of an earthquake. why were you thinking about charity for others? i mean, that's a beautiful thing, but most people would be worried about themselves, upgrade or junior, because the money was for orphans, people trusted me with their money. the story of the cooked family has spread into care prompting donations to the orphans partner was so worried about under the rubble. the could take comfort in knowing that through their actions, the old deal that ended below our life has started a new chapter and the lives of others. when it comes to rubber, we have to keep in mind this not only a lot of rumble around from the buildings which have collapsed but also from the buildings which need to be demolished because they've been so badly damaged. officials are saying they've got 118000 buildings that have either been destroyed

by the earthquake or that they need to bring down. that's a big task during thank you so much, sammy, for that reporting from donna. let's now cross over to hasa. there is a beau, is joining us. an answer is that you're at a field hospital over there or you and you've been speaking to some other people. what have they been telling you? well have phase located in the province of had i this is just another province in this country that has been devastated by the earth where there's people living here . intense. they have either lost their homes are they're afraid to go back to their home. so experts are warning that there are several active fault lines in her to in turkey ear, and that the possibility of aftershocks and another earthquake i bear, and many people are afraid of going back to whatever they have left. and that's why they're staying here and health care is a concern, not only distributing water and food and shelter is also health care. we're here in

this field, the hospital where we're seeing people coming to tend to several of the illnesses or injuries. there were caused by the earthquake there slots, for example of pregnant women in the country. the united nations estimates that at over 200000 women could be giving birth and the in the next months and how to treat them and where they can go in order to deliver their babies in a safe weights is a priority. another of the issues that we're hearing here, i respiratory problems and there's a lot of those we've been talking to a doctor who said that lots of people are being treated because of that. some of them have infections and we do for a young boy entering here again at ring from respiratory problems and the doctors were exclaiming that the rubble that the dust that is right out present and the year here could be one of the reasons why another. you know, of the issues is asbestos. many of the old buildings that were destroyed, you know,

it's, it's also our main concern is that it is a mineral that could got cancer among many other are problems are to the lang's of, if you will present here. so of course there's lots of concerns, lots of challenges on the ground, how to tend to their people that are coming here, health care issues among many other things. but 1st of all course, tending to those who have loved it all. okay, thank you so much. there is about reporting from hossa and turkey. you still had on al jazeera. why some think vegetable rationing in u. k. supermarkets is just the tip of the iceberg. ah. as the rainy season stuff is a bit at the moment, there's still plenty of clad in malaysia, but particularly indonesia. and i think that's where the focus will be, particularly in java. there's quite a strong breeze, as i think we'll see,

increase in the sherry weather in borneo but less so. in the philippines. and rain is a possibility in some honshu but still cold enough for a few rather wet snow showers up in the mountains and han shoe and maybe proper snow in hawkeye. come had a cody share, but not extremely colder. from china and the cold weather. it spread across the yangtze valleys, more or less dissipated. now that's quite a window increasing showers. all rain if you like. in taiwan, particularly in ty, paper and snow shall do continue. possibly little bit colder, i suspect. and so light the snow on saturday, but still piling up there are avalanche risks, warnings out for that. and although we still see a few big showers of rain in the northeast of india and bangladesh, this is generally speaking, drawing up and the picture elsewhere. as you probably won't be surprised to hear is of temperatures. now we do mention pre monsoon heat, but not normally in february, but it's still there. temperatures are in excess of 35 in good europe registered in

southern pakistan. and there's no reason why that should change it or just slowly warm. ah oh, a with ah

ah, hello again. the top stories on al jazeera, a senate candidate in nigeria has been killed by gunman ahead of saturday's election bar o u bo chill cool was attacked on wednesday and southeastern, a new state. he was returning from a campaign rally for his opposition labor party. israel has carried out airstrikes on the gaza strip. the israeli army says it struck what it calls a weapons manufacturing site on the military compound run by hamas. israel says those strikes were launched in response to 6 rockers fired into is really territory from the gaza strip. is really army, it intercepted 5 of them. china says it will propose a plan to end the war in ukraine. beijing is expected to unveil that initiative on

friday. the moxie years since russia invaded ukraine. assault been java has more from moscow. what it is? well kept secret because john has been talking about this piece plan for the last few days, but it hasn't unveiled it as yet. this morning we've heard from the russian foreign ministry that it was not part of the discussions between china's top tip them out and the russian foreign minister. but it does not rule out that better. this plan has been given to both capital, moscow and key for them to have a reaction ready before china and build that. but this is where china wants to be a about an arbiter which sits in the middle and tries to negotiate between these 2 sides, which remain far apart, but it comes to how to end the war. the un secretary general has again denounced russia invasion of ukraine ahead of the 1st anniversary of the conflict. on sonya, tara said russia had violated the un chart around international law. the one year

mark of russia's invasion of ukraine stands as a grim milestone for the people of ukraine and for the international community. that the invasion is an affront to our collective consciousness. it is a violation of united nations charter and international law. is having that emetic humanitarian and human rights consequences. and the impact is being felt far beyond the ukraine. or russia has reopened its bridge to the annex crimea peninsula. so road and rail supplies can get through. moscow uses to deliver troops on supplies to its front line in ukraine. the 900 kilometer bridge was bomb last october. in an attack, russia blamed on ukrainian military intelligence. keep never claimed responsibility for the bombing since the war started. profits of arms companies have increased significantly, but it's not boston reports from brussels. it's proving to be

a challenge for nato on europe to ramp up in industry that was scaled back after the cold war. 50 left tanks, gathering dust in a warehouse near brussels, sold by the belgian army to a private company at a time when a new war in europe team on thinkable. now, the owner wants to sell them back for nearly 10 times the original price. maybe you can say i'm a vision of this, so they know that other countries, they're still countries in the world to have this liquid one. thanks. so dental wis, possibility either to sell spare parts or to sell additional things. while ukraine is fighting off a new russian offensive, his thanks won't leave the warehouse anytime soon. a promise by western countries to send 2 battalions of flap or 2 tanks to materialize. the novel unsold all its lap or 2 tanks years ago. we have bought new ones, so the, the previous version of the year 2 in larger quantities, they have to be refurbished, have to be battle ready,

but they will be provided to your grade and not ready before it is offensive. but we're, we're in the middle of the offensive and it's going to go on. so everybody, including industry is doing what they can speed it up. the message here at nato is to produce more weapons and ammunition as soon as possible. meaning that an industry that was scaled back off of the cold war should rapidly be brought back into full action. the alliance, a 2nd free general has called it a battle of logistics. and the clear winner will be the arms industry needs to care . last study the arm straight for 20 years, once again to rushing into more production of weapon systems without the long term security plan. a lot of armed forces in europe are actually what we would call bonzai armies. they looked like real armies. they have the feel of an army, but in reality, they're not able to defend the country itself. so i think it would be much better if you would actually invest more in cooperation between european states with regard to the military and defense. and that way, the money that becomes available,

you can actually invest in other issues that are very important in creating a more durable piece. all the weapons for jews to be sent to the front lines have only one aim. he says, negotiate a peace deal while trying to make sure they won't fall into the wrong hands after the war. steadfast houses era russell? well, we have a week long special series on the far reaching consequences of the ukraine war a year into the conflict. make sure you tune in at these times where we look for both sides, military strategies and how the war is feeling a new global arms race. the death toll and madagascar from tropical cycle and friday has risen to at least for the store made landfall in the southeast. late on tuesday. would wind speeds up to 180 kilometers per hour. more than 11000 people have been displaced. gotten drunk, something yesterday we were afraid of rising waters and winds that can destroy everything,

like electricity. that is what traumatized me the most. so it's better to prepare for this danger. that's why i moved. we used to be worried about wind gusts, but now it's more of the rising water that scares us because our house is at the bottom of a bridge we're afraid of flooding. the us says, new measures impose that it's southern border in january, have led to a decrease in the number of illegal crossings. john homeless reports from tijuana, the united states has changed the rooms for people from haiti, nicaragua, and cuba, who went to the country illegally across the southern border and then asked for asylum before they were allowed to stay while the request was processed. that meant they were exempt from title 40 to a public health order. the u. s. has been using to refuse entry to migrants, but no more. the u. s. has done a deal with mexico ensuring they stay in that country while they wait us authority sites work to dissuade many from crossing illegally. a drop of 42 percent between

december and january and hells. an example is from nikolai, we're jumped the boat offense to us for asylum, thinking he'd be able to stay. but he was sent back to mexico. now he's in a shelton p one or not. you may receive a phone call with the still in the correct and i had found out that the talk to was gone. i wouldn't have come a long and that will please us authority. incoming president biden's administration perhaps had to do something the last fiscal year. they were reco numbers of apprehension of migrants on this, the southern border. and they were under a lot of pressure, especially from republicans to get those numbers down. the new strategy has other elements to rewards, as well as penalties. one is the humanitarian pro program for applicants from haiti, cuba, nicaragua, venezuela, to stay in the u. s. for 2 years. as long as they have sponsors their us,

his place to take up to 30000 people a month. the new app has also been rolled out for those already at the buddha. allow them to book appointments with us officials rather than wait and queues or unless controlled by non governmental agencies. but those we talked to in the same shelter as unhealthy, are having problems using the up especially getting the confirmation email. they said needed for the appointment. but if you look up the i lost my appointment on the 1st february because the confirmation email didn't arrive. all it says is system error system error. but pass to albert roberta, who's in charge of the shelter still thinks it's a good idea. he just needs to be modified server things. nothing is going to go down because people are entering into the app and they know there's a legal process that they're going to do it. so they're not going to hire coyotes and then end up being kidnapping. human traffic in it's going to go down because you have an access to how to do it legally. it's going to bring security for the

life of the immigrants and also for, for the border and heal from the can. i was, he's now trying to use the app, waking up at 3 in the morning to try and book his spoke sofa. he's had no luck, john, home and al jazeera. if one or several supermarket chains in the u. k have begun to rush and fresh fruit and vegetables, extreme temperatures in europe, and the war and ukraine have effected harvest on supply chains. sonya eager reports no tomatoes, the sale here all blueberries and the dwindling options of fresh produce in this supermarket have not been missed by regular shopping. after use and pendulum way, tim fits to meet with them for now. it comes back, i can tell you, go to the show, don't be anything on the ship and where there's availability would likely be paying a premium,

especially for out of season for the supermarkets affected have said that these shortages are only meant to last for another few weeks where they were big questions as to what's behind the supply issues, mainly from which countries these supplies are coming from. and what are the climate issues that have been affecting them? 2022 was a 2nd hottest year on record in europe. heat waves and extreme temperature and one of europe biggest food produces spain meant fewer available crops to harvest. the giant gas heated greenhouses that grow fresh produce in countries such as the netherlands, have been affected by the huge rise in energy prices caused by the war and ukraine is climate change because the bytes we will see these impacts on the u. k. food supplies, but also on the u. k. hard pressed farmers who already paying hundreds of millions, millions of pounds extra for fertilizes am for energy because of the price of gas. and.
