a new go south east of nigeria. and we begin coverage with em address whose live for us at keisha in lagos, sits, could help you with this and the quote for the 1st time, no particular candidate toll is a sitting president, and none of them is from the military. but the main ones of all had a very long time in nigeria and politics that had a long time to send or sell the political message. absolutely to sale. that's the situation. nigeria is thus the options of choice just before and i just now all of them wow, in the political equation since the return of the country to democracy in 1999, fos. let's start with the government. launch a candidate who voted a short while ago in this hole in the unit. and in this particular box, he cast his ballot a few minutes ago and all the other candidates, the front runners. i've also voted in the elections by the way. so when i'm at

table is the representative of the governing party, the own progressive congress. and he's been here is been in the political equation of nigeria since the military left power in $1099.00 plus the whole in 1999 who was governor of mega state this particular state, which is a battle general state. and what it is is govern this particular state. and he has also played a critical role in the emergence of mama. why did this current president as president of nigeria 8 years ago? now, when you move farthest north, you have a 2 car rubica who has been a founding father of the current biggest opposition party in nigeria, the pupils democratic party. he was in the party, he got out of the party, joined another party to contest by the way. this is his 6th attempt at the presidency apart from him. we also have peta or be another governor from the south

east of nigeria. he has govern the south eastern state of our number of state for 8 years and apart from them, there are 15 other candidates, one of them. the most notable, of course, is grab your most icon castle is a running for the presidency from candlestick. kind of state has by the way, the 2nd largest number of votes in the country. and so wanted to call and on this believe that whoever wins may goes convincingly and condo state consistently, along with other key stake will be on his way to victory on his way to clinch in the press. does it now currently, nigerians, what expecting new breed of politicians in this particular election but from the primaries, primary elections of the political party, it was clear that they are not going to get a young voter on a popular political party to run for the process. yes, there are young people in other political parties, but those projects have no quality co structure on the ground. so many of the many, many niger and many political analysts don't expect them to perform creditable well

in this election. but these 3 candidates are being watched closely and what happens in their respective areas and where areas where they are strong enough to deliver some vote. people will be watching closely and this is to tell you the importance of them. what is the international community attaches to this particular election in all these battleground states. they're deployed in large numbers, and security also been sort of stopped up a lot and finch other nothing. this is a country way that you think about it before during that day, like over the dresser for so we got her trip to think she's mike problems, but i will be coming and joining it through the day. let's cross over to her room. natasha who's in the new group and harry, we have potentially 93000000 people. going to the ballot box, a very, a concerted mandate is required by the winner to show that they've got the majority of the votes. exactly, that is true. and of course,

another issue will be insecurity, will insecurity in some parts of the country effect of voter turnout here in the southeast. some areas are volatile and awesome, some in some other parts of the country. a concern right now was talking my vote to turn out is that at some pointing stations here, things are going smoothly, but others places things are not. for example, here you see that people there behind me, they've been waiting for more than 3 hours with this putting session to open. they have not seen any signs from election officials, or they're being told is to wait. we're being told by listen officials that the reason for the delay here and some other presentation is logistical issues. they are trying the best they can to bring the vote materials to these polling stations where you can see people getting increasingly frustrated as they wait some saying, i can't say the whole day to go to work. but the thing to do this process must be done with as quickly as possible. but then of course, the back of everyone's minds insecurity. i mean, here in the new grew on wednesday,

the man was running for canada, for senator was shot him killed by armed men and the police blame. these are groups on a young men, young youth, yet who are too frustrated by the poverty and unemployment here in the south east. some of them say they feel marginalized by the federal government in the capital of buddha, and some even calling for a separation for them to form the own in the independent states separate from nigeria in the town that does place and in the cities is relatively safe you get the od kidnapping for ransom the odd attack on politicians, but is the remote areas. a lot of people are concerned about. the security may not be as strong in those religious people say that he's gains control everything. for example, if you want to get married, you have to ask permission. if you want to resolve a district the community, you have to ask for the permission to know what people are watching more enough for them. be brave enough to leave their homes, go to the polling stations in boats, but for places like this, the way they've been waiting for more than 3 hours, not being told when exactly they're going to vote,

you are getting increasingly frustrated. i don't. what's also in a new good, thank you. of course will be joining harry through the day let's course i even a to muhammad jam june, who's in the capital in the future, ma'am. it, of course, we can see that people are waiting to vote where harry was in the southeast of the country. how about where you are in the capital is voting going as you would expect on an election day. so hale earlier in the day, the polls were supposed to open around 8 a m local time. and they did not open at that hour. at least at most of the polling stations that we were communicating with in central of boucher. as far as we can tell, most of the polling stations where things are going smoothly around 93940 am local time. that's when people started to be able to vote. we are now outside of a school here in central boucher that has been turned into a polling stations. you can see behind me there are long lines of people. it all seems to be preceding. pretty orderly. there have been

a few flare up some tensions every now and again, some of the voters unhappy that they've been asked to move to the back of the line, even though they've been waiting for several hours. not quite sure where they are when it comes to the placement of when they will be able to vote. but everybody i've spoken with who has been able to vote very excited about today. they think that this is a day that could potentially turn the page here in nigeria and get the country back on a corrected course. now to that end, i want to bring in a guest that we have with us. this is a while mussa rough son, johnny. he is the chairman of the transition monitoring group, ross and johnny. thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate it. you are a very well known activist here in nigeria. you've been an act of it's for a very long time. could you please tell us about why this election is so consequential? thank you, roberts. ah, this election is very, very important. and get in this tiptoe from lots of governance or given that deficit in governance in nigeria. what's many measured as are not happy. ah,

we cannot, the collapse of the colony beginning as the challenge is our own. is security. looking at it in, collapse of education has guess is done infrastructure and therefore, you know, even detention around videos, roofs in the country. that's one to ah, it was a great 0 one to ah, is lydia anger slew miss that is not really a good you know, food emission. so deaf. ready the legitimate ways, what you can actually address this problem is to participate in the election because under democracy, the only way you can change those that you consider non proper means is to move like discussion of the election. and we are happy that the election schedule is going on and transition monitoring group and so many other groups. next went up for democracy and the blog men, c, d, slack structure room number of students. in fact edition,

what can betty had to ensure that the book has been and that's tons of the types of insurance that they conduct the known balance. and may i ask, what are you hearing this far about how polling is going on throughout the country today? any areas of concern so far or have you been hearing the predominantly things are going rather smoothly. so at this hour, we are happy to know that the majority of us across the look at them in the country actually, you know, they've been there and we can add the videos that may have and mine are picked the ability of the elections so far. we have not reported report that's the mitchell critical concern that me me and mind dependability and legitimacy of

the election. but in order to lead out of the voting, but so far so good despite the fact that the us and future lindsey no, no, no, just that i insure the board. so sometimes some of the older people and people with the disability it is difficult for dentist tons in december i was on to some young people that they need to also put so is difficult because i know too much awe in our plans. i've been made for the elderly and the disability people to join different use in. okay. so at that is it'll end but i think some of that, but as i understand in that this out older people at age of 7075. so his be difficult for them to be spending for 5 hours, right. so some of the but as i and i had been understanding that they need to be given priority. are often danny, no matter who, who ultimately wins the selection of the fact the matter is they are going to have

so many challenges when they enter office, whether you're talking about members of the house and senate or the next president of the country. um how, how are they going to be able to actually deal with this? what are the types of challenges they need to tackle right away? so utterly a, it is very clear that or whoever wins this election will inherit a little button. a lot of esthetician, nigerians had had this as petition in 2015. unfortunately there esthetician one knit this them around today renewed are to hot and confidence bid on the programs and the components that some of the candidate are actually are made. so therefore whoever wins he has to, you know, he or she has to be ready to pierce this as petition of nigel as andy had to manage it very well. so one of the thing that i think larger in early days will emerge today, i think for us they have to in or have a clear agenda that will do the issues of the economy. they have to have

a clear strategy on how to do the insecurity because the escalator is affecting everson, totally de monumental corruption that is going on in the country. they had to deal with it decisively because corruption and our man, security corruption and our minds development culture and our minds everson, you know, so leaders at different levels at local, state and national level would be piss in these challenges. and the only way in which they can deborah to tackle this also in the us as tend to confidence that nigerians have you know, demonstrated in actually coming out to vote is to drastically do with the issues of is quality corruption and the economy. if you were to do this, then d in just is that many people believe as been met at on them road i been address because if you don't address in just is it will be window dressing a while most her offs and johnny head of the transition monitoring group, thank you for your perspective and best of luck to you and your fellow country women and men on such an important day. thank you very much. so as you heard it,

there's a hell of so many challenges phase. whoever ends up being elected on this very important day in this very significant country. this is africa, most populous country. it has africa's biggest economy and it is expected that there could be a huge turnout of voters today. or there are over 93000000 voters who registered, but there's only about 87000000 who can participate because not everybody got those voting cars that they need to be able to participate. whatever happens, everybody we've been speaking with does believe that to day could be a pivotal day for the country and could bring some much needed and very significant change to nigeria. so hello jonya for those developments are through the day with our teams across the country. mm. hm, and jam jane that for us in a future. well, still had help me out there. a news report from the philippines were cheap imports and rising transport costs to farmers to double punches and in sport will hear from the former world. number one produced another big come back at the council, right?

but you case president says he plans to meet chinese, either shooting, paying to discuss a piece proposal table by beijing. china released as planned for peace between russia and ukraine on friday. the talks between the top chinese, the plotline g and president vladimir putin facing is calling for an end to western sanctions on russia. ukraine says the proposal is a positive side plan stuff set up. first of all, i planned to meet teaching, paying and believe this will be beneficial for countries and for security in the world. we have a large trade turn over with china. the issue is not only the war, the issue that we are states that are interested in maintaining economic relations . i really want to believe that china will not supply weapons to russia. this is

very important to me. this is a priority because i'm the leader of russia's wagner, mass, and the group says it's taking full control of another village on the outskirts of the eastern city of backlit. the village of bir via lies just outside the front line city where there has been intense fighting. after nearly a year of war, his common situation on the ground, russia controls much of the territory east of the deep pro river, but a ukrainian counter offensive in the autumn reclaimed swathes of land in the north and south, including the key city of cash from now the fighting is concentrated on backward, which is crucial for ukraine to try and retake the dumbass region. alina super. nina is a political advisor at the center of foreign affairs in russia. she explains why she thinks the tide is turning in russia's favor. we will see more escalation this month and the next spring. and this is

unfortunately because also i know very well from my colleagues in from some people quite close to the government the as the beginning we expected that it will. busy not take more than that city. busy or 4 weeks, but we see now that it's exactly one year up to the beginning of the crisis. so in my opinion, as it be in russia, made some mistakes that may be most of these mistakes related to some i meant from our special services the russian army wasn't welcome. busy by credit dance, but now the situation is why stay bo, there is probably on the grounds and i think that the situation is much more better

from ration point of, you know, children attending school in ukraine are not just struggling with the challenges that come with learning but also the threat of russian missiles and drains some schools have been fitted with make shift bomb shelters from. i've been saying this rubbish as reality of being a student in wartime ukraine. far from the fighting children in ukraine are still connected to it by family members on the front line and the more immediate threat of bombs from the sky. you say is not my dear drink good when there is an ear, right? tyran, they know what to do, they hide, but the 1st time my son was crying, he told me he was very, he felt that everyone would die and his mom was not by our children, do not deserve them. they should not be asking if rockers were launched or not. the parents we met said schools central to their community and to stability and their

children's lives were not spared in rushes, bombardments, we unicef estimates. half of all schools across ukraine are to damage to reopen. and 2 thirds of its children are unable to access any kind of education. there were some of the schools in areas that were held by the russians are so heavily damaged from showing that it will take millions of dollars and years before they're ready to open for students. again. that's, that was the one school principal said in the aftermath of russia's occupation of his home town. reopening classrooms meant making sure parents felt safe enough to send their children with the help of international donors. this school in europe converted a storage place to an air raid shelter. the plan is to build spaces like this in as many schools as possible. so i may be showing not full of are that the most of my, my m, what you say, the biggest concern for us is the children. they are our children and we are responsible for them. that's why, at the beginning of the school year,

organized per se, classes and psychological training, corporate fear. when we have sirens with all the children automatically come to the shelter, they know how to respond and what to do. but it is not ideal. the student body at the school numbered in the thousands before the war. now, only $200.00 children attend at a time and only for a few hours a day. because that is the maximum number of children that will fit in the shelter . school schedules made to accommodate the threat of russian attack. it is purpose built to be child friendly, but not fortified or deep enough to withstand a direct hit. every time an air raid alarm stops. and the all clear sounds, the hope is they will never have to use it again. is in basra, the al jazeera or pen no rush of them baset of the un has interrupted

a minute silence that was held by members of a security council. it was called by the ukrainian foreign minister to mark the 1st anniversary of the conflict. i kindly ask everyone to observe a minutes of silence in memory of the victims of the aggression. i think mister president will come. the representative of the russian federation has asked for the floor to make a statement, but you put it to the mistake mister president. we are getting upon our feet to honor the memory of all victims. what has happened in ukraine starting in 2014? all of those who perished all lives are priceless, and that's why we are rising to honor the memory of them all.

the secretary general and any good terrorist as peace will be achieved through diplomacy and accountability. over the past year, the counselor has more than 40 the bites on you claims the gun as i'm talking now. but in the ends, we know we all know that the best of diplomacy and accountability is that all to adjust and sustainable piece. be seen line with un charter's international law. and yesterday's resolution of the general assembly we must prevent further escalation. now your opinion has announced a new round of sanctions against russia that you says it will to limit the kremlin ability to pay for the wool. it also wants to block rushes military from accessing new technology or getting spare parts. the united states as imposing sanctions, including a 200 percent tariff on russian elementary, and washington is coordinating its efforts with other g 7 countries. let's go over

to a sub of java who's in moscow forest and of course, some of what's moscow saying about this sort of new round of sanctions from western countries. whether it is though immediate common to the latest round of sanctions, but we know that more than $11000.00 sanctions in the last one year have been imposed on russia and russia club, russian tide entities. boscoe has been able to withstand many of these pressures. and you're gonna hair a condemnation of from the russian government as it has been the case in the past. but it has been a year where moscow has been a resilient to the do what people were not expecting, or where the expectation was that it is going to lose a lot of its g d, p. it's economy, it's exports, but it has been able to withstand that. and to discuss that further, we are joined by a, the political analyst at a financial university. thank you very much for being with us up. tell us about why

has it been the case that all of these sanctions have not been able to achieve the results that the best wanted. thank you for having me. is quite old griffith. russian economy proved to be very resilient to sanctions. and the main reason is that russia, south project products that are important for the world economy in general, not only for western economy, russia was able to reroute its exports to other countries trotter puzzle. the world . and most of the world would be clear, especially asian crunch with me to live in conscious effort. graham and south american crunches that did not join sanctions. they may not are in line with russian interpretation of what's happening in ukraine, but they are definitely going to be part of economic war against russia, and that helped russia to survived. now this has been coming to not just ukraine, but russia at a really high cost to estimate suggest hundreds of thousands of people might be dead on both sides. so this conflict cannot go on forever. the chinese proposal at

peace, but something on the table where the russians have welcomed it. do you think that it is time now to end the war and go to the negotiating table? are we still not there yet? well, we definitely do not know the level of casualties in the period of minutes for propaganda from both sides of these in a period to forego fog of war. but even if we count that russian casualties a high as well as ukraine cruelty a hi, there are still limits to what both countries can adapt to a situation. russia is much bigger, russia has more resources, more military potential, as for western country that are not going to join the war completely, that are not going to send. there are soldiers, 3 grain. that's why it's in the long run. i think russian authorities count that they have more chances here to win and they hold that ukraine is going to blink fur, so to say, or western congress are going to. but in the 1st, so from my point, a few russian authorities still think that they have several months to try to achieve new military results. but if they find that they're not able to do that,

and ukraine also finds that it's not able to, let's say, take crimea because i feel like this, in this case, it full scale military stalemate is established. and after that, negotiations can stop and probably with china, if the me data previously, you know, other countries tried to be made ages for middle eastern countries in kentucky and some others. now china comes into play. china's proposal. chinese proposals are not so clear and bearable it, make them even easy to beat this media h as when everyone can say that we're not against chinese proposals for from my point of view, it's a good sign. it may be important, let's say in several months from now, when made it, a stalemate is established and there is in need to agree to a cease fire agreement. but the fear is that it is not going to reach a stalemate. immediately there's talk about a spring offensive this talk about how a rush is preparing to try and achieve victory. and both sides seemed to be much apart from what their version of victory is. ukraine, once a, all russian soldiers to leave territory that it has. russia says it will not stop

until it neutralizes a military threat from ukraine. so where is the middle ground? well, you're absolutely right. they, if you did, you say since will not be, let's say in several weeks from now, this lawyer mentioned several months at least. well, when people that make decisions in ukraine and russia are sure that they're not able to achieve new military results from our point of view, it's very hard to hold the trash, let's say, could take evil ukraine, could take a crimea. ukraine will need more people, but they'll, they have limits for the mobilization. what they're going to do with mobilize one additional median personnel, they will have problems to somebody's ation as for russia. so rhetoric could, i could imagine the human bodies ation in russia, in special population is verify. and even if fortune decides to mobilize one percent of population, it's still not harm the country completely. but it's politically complicated from internal perspective for, for my and quite a few that are limits for russia to oregon. i, than you are fans all through that if that withdrawal,

which thank you very much for being with us. so you have it to the view from moscow where it appears that yes, there is acceptance of a new chinese proposal that yes, there is willingness to talk about peace, but no side is willing to blink 1st and absolute when is must according to both sides on the conflict and there seems to be no end any time soon. as on been java, the force in moscow, thank you for at least 3 people have died as a major winter storm ranges across the united states. more than 2 meters of snow is forecast. the parts of california los angeles got its 1st blizzard warning in 30 years. the storm knocked out power 2, nearly a 1000000 homes and businesses. it's also false, a closure of major roads and cancellation of hundreds of flights. well let's get more on this sir. which one are by everton, fox and inevitably u. s. is no stranger to cold weather, but this is quite a severe blast yet again, this year. it is a very severe blast there. so, and certainly on that west coast,

you wouldn't expect to be seeing this kind of condition this nearly march. it should be warming up. you know, this is, this is pretty much unheard. what you said 1st, visit warnings for ally for around 30 years. look of a size of that storm. it's nearly the size of california. we are going to see it make its way a little further east, which as we go on through the coming day. so things will gradually improve. but this is a big system, not a cloud across their central parts of the us, but let's just focus down on that southwestern corner. and you can see the size of the area of when she, whether that's pushing its way in notting up over the higher ground, we're going to see some very heavy snowfall and some very heavy rain. some parts could see maybe $75.00 millimeters of rates or that will cause further flooding. we're looking at some very heavy snow as we've been hearing that and so around about 2 meters of snow. certainly a possibility and blizzards as well as high winds. those winds could well guster around a 100 kilometers per hour. so that's going to cause further problems at when she

mix will make its way a little further east was running across vegas, cassie, some snow as we go through to morrow. pushed his way across nevada, easing over towards central parts, making way for the next system. so not out of the was just yet monday. see more snowfall coming through. let's take a look at the bigger picture. there's that so wet weather when she weather over towards the lakes on the northern flanks as we go on for monday on into tuesday, there's yet more snow in the forecast, only slowly clearing through so very slowly thanks very much ever to very update. while still had syrians are digging through rubble to retrieve the bodies of loved ones, lost in the devastating earthquakes and his whole, we'll look at a controversial new lawyer and producing head injuries in rugby. ah

hello, the weather's looking a little lively across central parts of the mediterranean. now we got this mass of cloud, just blossoming across the western med, moving over towards italy. these where the guy down hill is here as we go on through the next couple of day. so increasing cloud where to whether it will turn wintry to cross northern parts of italy already wintry across northern air is keen . northerly wind coming down up towards the northwest. this is where is fine and dry, high pressure in charge. i will stay. jimmy st. live a little on the chevy side, across a good parts. hoffer islands and the british isles. we all got to see temperature in london around 8 celsius, a similar temperature too. for a paris that cool wind back comes in across much of northern europe. as you can see, normally they're feeding some snow. they're into we're eastern parts of jeremy 3 poles. the baltic states pushing across into that western side of russia with way of rain for the south, but the risk 30, some snow in there. and it will turn increasingly wintery as we go through the next few days as a wet weather coming into central parts of the mediterranean, sliding across italy to snow, around the generic house,

we are going to see it ready cooling off, across much of the continent as we go on through the next couple of day, said very unsteadily to central parts of the med, northern parts of africa without area a morocco 70 wet. ah ah, ah. with go biding arriving here fledging. more weapons.

more defense finance with detailed coverage more than a decade with who has killed all these many, serious millions of that the turkey are looking for safety from around the world. limiting their powers to require amendments to the constitution and the electron more with increasing number of governments getting electric. neither is we'll have to wait longer for that to happen. oh, a welcome back to the news with me. so he'll run the reminder of all the top stories that you and the us have impose new sanctions on russia for the, for in the train. the measures a to prevent the kremlin from having enough money for its military as well as blocking access to the latest technology. and voting is underway and what's being

described as nigeria is most unpredictable presidential and parliamentary election in decades. more than 93000000 people are registered to vote for new presidents and members of the national assembly. let's bring in at u. k. one who the ceo of and i polls limited join me now for a future. good time with us live on al jazeera. in the light of recent attacks on candidates and party work. and i just wanted to ask whether the conversation about what nigerians want has changed or been emphasized in the polling that you've conducted thanks. i think yes, the 3 things, but i do know that there's no mandate said insecurity. i called on the on the employment. so over the past. yeah, i think there's a lot of it's going on country. so what people once on the, on this patient has a lot to do with, with,

with this accuracy. but in the all that we looked at last. yeah. it's huge proportion of 99 percent of night didn't do nothing. the country's going in the right direction. so our hope is that that is going to turn out to people coming out to the post to, to have foods. but they're not a lot of like you as one to do something. honestly, something changed to something different. so well, what i found out to us, yeah. when you say 89 percent of nigerians think the country is not going in the right direction, what direction do they want it to go? you know, we talking, it's not getting the right direction because of security because of the economy or because of corruption or something else. so in, altogether because the question was built in them in terms of that livelihood, that means of whether they're living the way they want to leave. so in terms of that mix, it's shown in terms of tea in terms of how they feel moving around the country. so people, people think that, that sort of leveling, that means of livelihood is

a lot. it's not the way they want it to be in terms of security, corruption of the cost of living, in your opinion, and also from your polling. how those issues being tackled in the debates. and the speeches that the candidates have made has made an impact on the voter. but we hope he has made an impact on both of those that spoken about it and even those that haven't spoken about it. i think most of the candidates and their manifesto to have that touch on days and it left with us to be sure that those went to get that. but i think every kind of did that was able to speak before the election, touched on those things, and kind of bring on how they're going to fix that is left for us. that i've looked into decide whether that speaks to how we become to fix. but those would be issues that people want nutrition or whatever. we'll inspect the economy and unemployment . what's your polling telling you about the issues in terms of what men and women want? what older generation, what younger generation aspire to be?

so the, the younger generation could make up the most number of the newly i just had with that. do want to see a change. i mean from the pulls that we've done be really feel that the country needs to when i was just because i knew them by saying that majority of people don't think the country's going to right direction. and that's like it's the percentage since the last time we did this in spite the 20. so a lot of people want something to change. and that's kind of what's driving. it's what just the young people that seem to push in because i think that cross all age groups anyway, and so much difference between men and women in terms of what they want to go in if it is election. well, just while we're talking chick we've got to peter obee. he's at one of the candidates. he's live on all television screen right now. taking his vote and peter o. b, rob, you mussa kung was so seen as individuals and candidates who could take

a sizable chunk of the vote. why do you think from your polling people are supporting these candidates? have they lost faith in the establishment so to speak? the established parties? i mean, does what it seems, the 2 candidates in side, they're not with the 2 popular parties, the p c m p. but they seem to have a lot of also support the fact that people want something different this time around whether that's going to try to how they've, let's go, we'll find out. but like you said, they have enjoyed market support. and it's probably because people want something different, right. be interesting. see how or what the final vote is in the coming hours. i'm sure check a and one with thanks so much for joining us from a boucher thank you. thank you. thank you. okay. ah, in the dental devastating in quakes,

farmers who have difficulty selling their produce. an idea that started when ease and andy estrada saw tons of vegetables rotting away during pandemic locked downs. overall, there's a lot of distribution gaps, farmers, bringing them to the market, buyers are not there at that moment. and so there's really a lot of disconnect on the system. and even if the buyers are there, don't be the right price. ferdinand says the same is happening with onions. prices rose to as high as $12.00, a kilo in december, but would imports. now, flooding markets, they've dropped. the cost of growing his and harvested audience is way above their market value. it might have been on but on, but i mean graders would see they have bought up in the storage so they can only buy low about if you want to sell. he'll just have to sell low for it in an would have face to same problem. what is called the flowers, if it wasn't for the stride has and their non profit group, rural rising, coming to the rescue and buying them at

believes prisoners in his country are still suffering to this day when my main objective is for the interrogators to actually see themselves so that it could be a mirror for them to be able to do. so the struggles of the iranian people are a key theme at this year's family. another one film examined the history of protest in iran and draws a parallel with what has been happening in the front in recent times. another explore 19 eighties war with iraq and the effects this had on a generation of children exposed to the violence set in the city of about done through animation. the film, the siren shows us the world through the eyes of 11 year old, omit the innocence of a game of football is shattered by the arrival of the rocky rockets which will eventually raise the city. we follow omit struggle to survive. the sense of struggle is a key element of the works of the films. director said today, fussy,

doesn't seem to troubled by either result of courtroom for say to you or for city to a new life sometimes, isn't it? so it happened. the happiness is always to minutes so so and people before that let me finish my philosophy. yeah. next. at the a 3rd round of the 6 nations championship kinks off later on saturday with england facing wales. the game was almost called off due to a welsh player strike overpay, but there's another rebellion in the sport of rugby union with hundreds of clubs up sat by decision to change. how players tackle each other. paul race reports. oh, cycling is at the heart of rugby union, plays at all levels, trying hard to get it right in a tough fast game. it can be dangerous,

but attempts by the ruling body in england to reduce the risk by changing the height at which a tackle can be made. of course, concerned the sports grass roots. my initial reaction was, is that is going to the face of the killer the game. because robbie is a contact sport. we can't make contact safer. the main danger is head injuries, something every one at this club quite naturally wants to avoid. hundreds of former amateurs and prose have brought lawsuits due to them suffering brain trauma. seems like england do now have concussion rules in place, and it's uncertain that making plays tackle lower will make the sport safer. the problems with high tackles and concussions have been most obvious at the elite levels of the game, but it's at the grass roots of rugby union that the changes will be made, at least at 1st. those changes are due to start next season. that could be hard to implement. so the current legal tuckahoe is shows and below. and if i show,

you know what, like the maximum height would be in terms of a tackle would be looking to and read the book. so the new law will it trying to prevent is his in head. and by doing that, what they're saying is, is hip and below. and it's tier one problem is that to play could still get concussed by a ne, hitting them in the face and clubs like wording. a worried that the threat of getting sent off for what is currently a legal site tackle could put people off from playing a complex sport. it is getting even more complicated. one form of professional suing the rugby authorities after being diagnosed with dementia in his forties is also skeptical about the changes i would have come forward just below chest type as, as adopter, and talk a line message. if you go away and you risk more concussions with, with knees and hips 2 or 3 next step low in the acro high, a starting page that they've had to do politically. rather than the can be application of practicality. the tackle height changes lead to more than 300 clubs,

seeking a vote of no confidence in the sports authority in england, directly football union. who say the decision is backed by science on concussions, but will now be reviewed. it's a situation that leaves rugby as these players know it in the balance. fuller, august, they are worthy england. and murray has pulled off another big come back to secure a place in the final. the cut are open. murray saved 5 match points to his in his semi final, to reach the doha titled decider. the former role number one with taking on yury attention of the track, the public. murray repeatedly recovered from the brink of defeat and the deciding 3rd that he went on to win the match and his high brave scott is amy to win his 1st title in 4 years as he continues his recovery from career saving hip surgery 6 and the one of the most amazing turnarounds i've had in my career, you obviously had to 3 match points to 54, but i also think when i was serving it 53, and then yeah,

i don't know. i mean, i knew it was his 1st time maybe serving for a final so i had to make sure that i tried to keep the pressure on at the end because i know how difficult it is to serve matches like already will face daniel, led with them in the final, the russian beats counted as felix. okay. or ali a sim and there are so many final. he's aiming for his 2nd title and a matter of days having won the rotterdam opened last sunday. madame has never previously dropped the facts against murray. it's unbelievable and i i feel like as soon as so someone arrives to the match boards. that's why the match starts. so i have to be at my best from the 1st to the last born to morrow to, to try to beat him. he's a, he's a legend, so i feel like what could be surprising, he's playing better and better. i feel like not only here by being general if we take one year ago on the 2nd season of the saudi back to live gold series is

underway in mexico. england's paul casey shot a 6 under par, $65.00 to take a 1st round lead along with american jason at cobra. it's years live series will be played over 14 tournaments with a combined price per se of $405000000.00. and one of the middle east, biggest equestrian events is happening and katara this 10th edition of the c h i. she com features more than a 130 riders from 28 countries. it's one of just 5 such show jumping in dressage competitions worldwide. and the only advance of its kind in asia top riders from germany, germany and belgium and the netherlands will be battling for the titles. teams from palestine and lithuania are making their dough. how deep sonya i before we go here is a contender for own go of the season happened in a japanese lead match yokohama player to qu, yeah. what i decided to play the most bizarre ball into his own area, which ended up in his own. yet, despite what is costly area,
