are registered to vote for new president, as well as members of the national assembly. 18 presidential candidates are in the contests, but only 3 as seen as having a realistic chance of winning nigerian so saying they hope that their next leader will improve the economy and, and years of what violence we have teams of correspondence covering the election mohammed jam june is in the nigerian capital of boucher how rumor tasa is live for us in a new go in the south east of the country. but we begin our coverage with an address he has moved from us from acadia in lagos, a los at stay careful. the candidates emmett and its hope that they would be a record turnout what's or how it's voting getting on where you are. what basically things are picking up from the delays in the early hours of today. when voting were supposed to started at 7 o'clock in the morning,

instruct location is practically evoke and do not start until 2 or 3 hours after now the election is happening right across the country. what we're looking at actually over there. if i step out of frame 3 bucks of the red one over there, it's mark presidential and the black box in the middle is marked senate toward while the house of representatives, both sides. now much of the attention is focused on the red box there, simply because that's why the international community and nigerians are fixated on the want to know exactly who they will be dealing with in the next 4 years. so attention is much more focused on the red box. the candidates we're talking about 18 are running for the post, talk president in this country. and among them the governing party candidate ball i'm attainable, was a former governor of this state. he served as governor for

a ts in legal state when democracy returned to nigeria in 1999 and 280 s. later, he played a critical role in the emergence of the incumbent, president obama to bahati in 2015 on the subsequent election in 2019. he is running against 17 other candidates, but to considered close as one of them is the governing. is it party candidate of the main opposition party? yeah, the people, the mckorick properties in nigeria, he was former vice president of nigeria. it was elected governor before he abundant the position when he was nominated to have his running mate of the presidential candidate. then in one tonight, tonight, couple worker for my customs officer and also from a vice president of nigeria. and the 3rd candidate is detail will be, incidentally, it will be, it was running made at court, but in the last election in 2019. so he was,

he's talk to the race this. yeah. with a p d p. but eventually he pitched his tent with another late another party called the labor party that doesn't have the structure of the main political fight as a p c and the pdp. but his message seemed to resonate while with some of the young population in nigeria who feel that they have left out of the scheme of things in nigeria. so basically these are the 3 main content, but again, it was a full force. robbie was a former governor kind of state nice of the state, atheist, it was ministry principal for years and he was full. so i sent it to briefly before the military truncated but democratic dispensation. he is running and he's from the state with a 2nd largest number of votes in this country. so a lot of people think if he doesn't win, at least he can cut all the political values of the 2 main political parties in which could possibly result in the run up because of the powers he has all the fellowship. yes and little a lot of people think that this vote will go into arnold and they like to election

commission and they said they are really prepared in case the run up happens, which will be probably in the next 2 or 3 weeks before the governorship collections now that's the situation of things now, and by the way, voting was supposed talk close across the country, but because of the late with the delay we spoke about earlier, voting still continues. if i step out of the picture now, you see a lot of people coming up and that's not only the number of voters here all but there, there is another shape why people see that way too for they tend to vote. this process could last for another one or 2 hours before eventually everything. and yeah, in that case, it may go sit in general in terms of incident that it's been relatively peaceful department, 120 so strong iraq that definitely there was an incident in the area for local, but the police was quick to step in and everything has been resolved at the moment

and everything is quiet and voting is continuing in that location. i think other places in legacy and it was for the inlay goes thanks very much. i will join you later through the day. that's cool. so have a live now to how room a tall so who's in the south east of the country in a new state and harry a few hours ago when we spoke, you told us that polling hadn't begun, but people were waiting patiently for the station to open what's the situation right now? well, we are not one of the biggest ponies stations in a new group, one of those places that opened leg. but. 2 supposed to be, you know, one sitting they behind me, they say they have voted, but they don't want to go home. they want to stay here and make sure that things are going to protect the votes. but take a look at all those people who are standing there waiting in line to talk about may mean young people. and they say that the process is a know some of them,

of frustration, logistical economical issues. some of the voting that have not been waiting working . so we seeing a lot of people being frustrated somewhat occasionally at the latest and offices. what the pros and now seems to be the going to say line until they say about what magic and says the people in the south east is the issue of insecurity. on wednesday, man who was writing for senator was shot and killed in the city. i was people to be a little concerned about security, but basically they say that they all, you know, we have a takes over once the selection has been completed will deal with insecurity, within the se, what is the rates of the country? and then of course these, the issue of this impetus is part of the country who said that they are frustrated by the high levels, but employment with him on the team, the areas, some of them want to break away from nigeria and pulled the own independent states we're seeing a lot of young people in this life,

people who say the constraints it why corruption, instead of the economy in the country and the home never went to lation. does that mean turn rob economy until within security? in the southeast and other parts of nigeria, lucas will continue to join you through the voting day for the moment. 100 were tossed up in a new glasgow over to a beach at the capital. mamma jane is standing by forest mohamad calls people to continue to have faith in the electoral process across sledge area. whether those polling stations have had a delayed opening or not. there's a lot at stake here, isn't that everyone involved that wants to be the president there really is. so hale, everybody that we've spoken with here at this pulling station, which is a school that's been converted into a polling station. everybody we've spoken with here today. it said that there could not be more at stake that you cannot overstate the importance of this general election because the country is a faced with so many problems,

including as you heard there from armored and haro, a insecurity of corruption. you also have a cash crisis this going on right now. there have been even here in the capital long lines for days outside of atm machines and banks, people sleeping over night in the street to try to get cash a so that they can eat there is a problem of hunger this week as well. so there are so many things riding on the outcome of this election. and people that we've spoken with have said that, you know, every election cycle, people should come out and vote, but they expect more people will come out to day. they expect there will be a large turn out to that and i want to bring in a guest that we have here. this is awesome may day if a tour, he's a voter, he's been voting since 1999 when nigeria returned to democracy. oh, so maybe i want to ask you how important, how critical are these elections, especially compared to the other elections that you have voted in in the past law. it is very grits, important for us to make a mock and the son of time as it were now like

a so initially rough fest with gemalto problems, economy insecurity, hunger pool at one of you and is a time for an g router to the destination to the old hands love to really choose a leader that really stand and make sure did deliver the dividends of democrats to the people. because people are disenchanted. no money for days, no food, electricity in coma in co matters, things are not just happening. so this is really a time for us to make it mark to tell, then, then jus and politicians that we devote us. we are the want to decide who saws in a nest for yes from today. and i'm sure in a mess. couple of this tooth before this will know why really does ease in this. ready election, so we are here to choose the nest leader to make sure that he least also ines for

or it's years in a part of economic recovery. and it can be money for the people. yes maple, are there suffering? the money schools i'm we are shot like 2 days ago because of his electron in developed climes like in the u. s. in the u. k. you know, into the clip upgraded was one of what was i'm a day i want to ask you about voter participation. obviously, this is a huge, a huge experiment in, in, in democracy right now the, there's a lot riding on these elections. and there is a question about how high the voter turnout will be. there were 93500000 registered voters of that are, were told that it's about 87000000 that got their cards. who are going to be able to vote today. but some people say they don't think there will be a high turnout in that that could impact his elections. what do you think? do you think more people will be coming out in this election cycle versus the other election cycles in the past? more people are out to be in this particular election, some home a while ago,

i drove through some areas and i said it was still under what us right down the streets because people want to make it mac. we are tired of this current situation . we, i, in this country to last, why this tomorrow? the number of those people that came out to colorado pvcs increase on let odda electra not want to make it mark and let. and you asked no doubt we can decided destiny on this mission. so from our as to mission, the mom up would are told that ain't took this electron not far, far myself. i'm what i'm, what do that i told him previous election because we want a change, a change? no impact on our lives and the off on a lot of our children and you know, just yet and one. all right, that's awesome. made it over to her. he is a committed voter, somebody who's been voting in each election says nigeria returned to democracy in $1099.00. thank you so much for speaking with anchor. thank you. thank you. thank. we appreciate. thank we appreciate your time. so. so hill, you heard it there, i, everybody we've in speak with including us. maybe they're right now saying

a really, they're just could not be more at stake in this general election. and that's why they want to make sure that people come out. everybody we've spoken with believes there will be high turn out a day. of course that's yet to be seen. but even though there had been delays throughout the day at this pulling station, for example, was supposed to have closed already. and yet it's still open because people are still waiting to vote. they are committed, they say they're not going to leave until they get to cast their ballots. so hell, thanks moment i'm doing there for us in a future cilla head here, all the news, syrians and digging through rebels 2 or 3, the bodies of loved ones lost in the devastating way that is full. we'll hear from the home and number one to produce another big come back of a castle, wrote the china's proposed plan to end the war in ukraine is set to be discussed in beijing. in the next few weeks, french president, monroe,

nicole says that he'll travel late and the april michael says it's important to put pressure on russia to avoid escalation in ukraine. well above the russian president, alexander lucas shanker, has an answer he'll be visiting beijing in the coming days. china and battery saw rushes, strategic partners. last year, minsk allowed the kremlin to use its territories large attacks on ukraine, while ukraine's president says he would also like to meet chinese, the, the shooting ping, to discuss a piece proposal table by beijing. china released as planned for peace between russia and ukraine on friday. and that followed talks between chinese diplomat y and z, and president vladimir putin facing is calling for an end to western sanctions on russia. ukraine says the proposal is a positive sign up. se, yup. first of all, i planned to meet changing, paying, and believe this will be beneficial for countries and for security in the world. we have a large trade turnover 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 jamie shay is a former deputy assistant secretary general for emerging security challenges at nato. he's now and associates, fellow chatham house and joins us live glasgow. he's gotten good, tough with his mystery shows on the program. perhaps it would be fair to say that the china plan needs clarifying and in its present form. not everyone agrees it's going to work, but it does seem that china has russia's ear right now, and that's important. it is indeed because obviously if you're going to be a successful piece micro mediator, you need to have the of the belligerents and of course, china certainly has the air of moscow. we've had several high level contracts in recent days between china and russia, yanks, yankee, the chinese senior counsel for foreign affairs was in moscow just

a couple of days ago. so the chinese are suddenly got lots of leverage if they wish to use them to influence moscow. and so push it towards withdrawing his forces from ukraine and moving in the direction of a viable page. but as you just said, in your introduction, they takes 2 to tango, right? and that means that the chinese auto who got to have credibility with president zelinski of ukraine who has not met the presidency. there's been very little contact between trying shawna and ukraine so that part of the positive is missing and the plan is going to have some credibility with the west as well. so it's a good stop, but you're right each not yet. a piece plan is a series of principles, and there's a mix of good and bad in all of that. but let's at least also culture trade on the good. while we rewind china, that it needs to fix the bad and we'll get into just a little bit later. but could you? i've got turkey because obviously they've been quite an interesting all between all of this. they've got rushes, a plus $78.00 member. well indeed, i mean i've,

i would think that to done at least the trucks would be in a better position to play the media by hope, for example, hosted already since the outbreak of the war in the spam bull peace talks between ukraine, russia, they didn't succeed because obviously the war was building up at the time, but turkey has, with united nation successfully negotiated the grained export deal. and incidentally, the chinese piece plan also very much once that growing export deal essential to relieve hunger in africa and elsewhere to a continue and prism again as managed to keep good channels open with give not the case with the chinese. for example, turkey has been supplying its famous by a writer, tv to drone to a kev, as well as other ammunition as well. and so you would think, given the track record for how the turkey would be in the best position. but on the other hand, if china wants to be involved, and that can be

a way office waiting the chinese to be more even handed less dramatically supportive of moscow. and certainly to refrain from supplying weapons to russia. lethal weapons, which is what everybody's fearing at the moment that that's only to be encouraged. the chinese could have a good role to play a. but if they are determined to be the peacemaker and not just to sign up to the russian script lock, stock and barrel completed, china wants to prove its genuine and honest nature as a mediator. i mean, that's what he wants to portray. but yet the u. s. for example, accuse that of supporting the russian war effort before it can be trusted, certainly by ukraine. it does need to convince as detractors like the u. s. like the u. k. like friends and, and mcroy is preparing to go to beijing. that it is an honest mediator, and that's the big hurdle for china, isn't it right now? but it isn't do, particularly as the chinese paradoxically of sorta presented his piece plan to the time when instead of moving away from moscow and being if you like,

more equidistant between campbell, moscow, the chinese have been very much giving extra support to russia. there is, of course the worry about a chinese company now about the supply, russia with leaf or drug which has been the way in which the chinese have been bailing out of the russians economically. taking a lot of the orland gasped as being the way in which the chinese have signed up to the anti nature narrative of russia, you know, making it sound as if the larger the nature of somehow is responsible for the wars . if nato has been attacking russia, when, of course, russia has been attacking ukraine and i think some people will be disappointed that the chinese piece plan does not more full rightly call on russia to withdraw. it's a withdrawal forces from ukraine. that was, of course, the points of this boat, this very big vote 1414, and 7 against in the un general assembly the other day. but only upper hand, as i say is the chinese now really are interested in becoming involved. maybe

president backroads visit of a link between the chinese on the west and the next couple of days can make the chinese also call for the withdrawal of russian troops. the problem at the moment is the chinese peace plan. so let's freeze the current situation. you know, let's have a c slow at stop the sanction stop the weapons. let's you know, leave things up. they are have peace, which would mean that ukraine would have lost 25 percent of his territory. and putin would have won in terms of his land grab on the i'm, but i'm traditional nature of the piece. whole piece has to be based on conditions is something which i think the west will want to correct before this will be a viable plan to move ahead. we shall see what happens. that's an interesting weeks ahead. jamie shay, therefore us from johnson. thank you for joining us on al jazeera, the russia, they say thing in the round of sanctions from the european union. the box, as it wants to limit the criminal ability to pay for the wall. it also wants to block russia, the military from accessing new technology or getting spare parts. united states as

imposed new sanctions, including a 200 percent terror phone, russian, other minium, washington is coordinating with other g 7 countries. a suburb in java is in moscow and take a look at how comic and other businesses or adjusting to western sanctions. this moskowitz 3 is a standard 1.5 liter family car. but it comes off the production line of what used to be venue production plant. when the french car manufacturer left russia last year, it wrote off $2300000000.00 worth of acids console, the russian subsidiary for a symbolic one. europe. it has a buyback option in a few years, if thank you listed. but for now, the 45000 workers who produce nearly a 3rd of russia's com market, remain employed to themes one company sanctions crisis was another's opportunity. what's the potential got only one year to produce it? in 2023. we planned to produce 50000 vehicles. $10000.00 will be electric. we've

already started developing our own electric platform. by the end of 2025. we planned to produce a fully electric car of our own design, and we plan to localize all components in moscow. fast food chains and cafes which closed operations have also been acquired by russian business people. so mcdonald is now of the touch and star, but it starts coffee in russia. say that what we're than 11000 sanctions have been imposed during the system. they assume that events with unfolding, catastrophic, we're rushes, exports go to 0. russia would fall into a complete blockades. financial system will collapse, however they will run bunker. these countries have either impose restrictions back sanctions or opposed rush of invasion of ukraine are the ones in green, either seen as russia allies or have a nucleus done. these in south america is brazil and venezuela plus resource rich nations, including iraq, molly and dawn, and ages,

powerhouses including india and china. this is the class called group showcasing its weapons in the united arab emirates. it's one of many countries that refuse to be involved in sanctions against russia. the russian manufacturer it produces about 95 percent of all small arms in the country, and exports weapons to more than $27.00 others. fresh drug makers have turned to india pharma industry for supplies after being blocked by the rest. and he has also become a major oil export market for russia. but china draws them all with an estimated $200000000000.00 in trade forecasts, but russia by next year, despite its allies, help sanctions against russia, have led to a drop in exports of whitening fiscal deficit. and businesses struggling to find cash after banking restrictions. one year on moscow has proved an old military thing. russia is never as strong as you fear, but russia is also never as weak as you hope. so i'm, a majority of era must ah,

in the earth thinks into kia and syria, separated many children from their parents, social service staff in turkey, say, many families have been reunited, but more than 100 babies haven't been identified. the still under the care of the state sort of cassini reports from the turkish capital anchor people here called us baby, a survivor pulled from under rubble. knife was brought to this childcare complex from atlanta just a week ago. like all these babies. earthquakes that had 10 cities in south west and took year on february 6 separated nave from his parents until they are reunited with their families. they are cared for by child development officers literature. i

confined to the mix. it comes facing the threats of many diseases, lose the problems because of a huge number of people and doctors i think we are trying to take all the personally measure as, as follows out concern by providing medicine to the people for the time being has remember thanks very much for the update. rescuers in northern syria continued to dig through the rubble of buildings destroyed 2 weeks ago, aid has been said to reach the region, an opposition held areas. many families searching by hand for the bodies of missing relatives. and the hail we were removing rock after rock and finding nothing underneath people under the concrete screaming get us out, get us out. but we'd come up with empty hands but not allow them to hurry. other people spent 2 or 3 days under the rubble. some stay there for 4 days. nothing was working well. hans alone went enough. we lost children. i lost my brother and his

cities around the world in protesting against the war in ukraine. because i have announced that vast and who has the latest from berlin. it does seem well attended where you are. well absolutely, and that is very interesting because this rally here in berlin was heavily controversial and heavily debated in the days leading up to this because this is not the rally. like we've seen the last couple of days against, put them against russia. urge and put into stop the war and urging russia to leave the ukraine. dis, rally is addressed at the german government, asking the german government to stop sending weapons to ukraine and to urge the government to start pushing for negotiation for peace negotiations. because the organizers, they are from the political left, but they also joined by a scientist by musicians, by artist people from all walks of life. they have released this manifest with

which has been already signed by more than 600000 people by now. and they say, we don't want any more weapons. we are worried about an escalation. we are worried about the nuclear war possibly. and they say at the end of this war, there will be negotiations anyway. so why not start now? but this has to come prefers because the organized and the people attending this rally. i'm not being accused of borrowing for put in the money to the point that even the vice chancellor here and germany has released the video statement saying that this ready is wrong. and that we, the company shoots continue to support ukraine, which happens with weapons. we know that germany, of course, has been sending, have the weapons like also tanks. they have decided to send lap or to tanks. so this is now to turn out. thousands of people are here now, so you know to that. so that's and thanks so much for the update step by force in belin. now, children attending school in ukraine are not just struggling with the challenges

that come with learning. but also the threat of russian missiles and drones, some schools have been fitted with makeshift bulb and shelters from pins. aim to throb shows the 3 ality of being a student in wartime. ukraine. far from the fighting children and ukraine are still connected to it by family members on the front line. and the more immediate threat of bombs from the sky is out of my judgment. it gave me near as an ear, right? i ran, they know what to do, they hide. but the 1st time my son was cry, he told me he was very people that everyone would die and his mom was not by our children do not do the thing. they should not be asking if rocker for launched or not parents, we met said schools central to their community and to stability and their children's lives were not spared in rushes, bombardments, women, unicef estimates. half of all schools across ukraine are too 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 are converted, a storage place to an air raid shelter. the plan is to build spaces like this in as many schools as possible. so maybe you should enough for live are that the most of my, my and what you say, the biggest concern for us is the children. there are children and we are responsible for them. that's why, at the beginning of the school year organized per se, classes and psychological training to cope with fear. when we have sirens with all
