polls didn't open as early as they were meant to, but the mood was nonetheless up beat. sandra awful. who wants to see her country move in the right direction? told us how relieved she was to have voted by many hic. will i fired? i yoga the bar is because when loads re, re, you know, written on the phone, how many, how many months now, for those practicing their civic duty, the significance of this day could not be overstated. no matter the heat, no matter the length of the lines, people waited. despite the delayed start earlier in the day, things have gone smoothly here at this point station. and everybody i've spoken to say they're prepared to stay here as long as it takes to ensure they can cast their ballot at a polling station in the battle ground state of legal panic. after gunfire broke out armed gunman in a minibus fired shots in the year and snatched ballot boxes at the voting station

and follow lou junction. earlier lagos, his police chief, had issued a stern warning to any one planning to provoke unrest. who hadn't, if i you, we way. so let's you will apprehend you. i will bring you to justice for voters here growing concern not just over the high cost of living, but even what might happen after this vote. if this was wrong, then means that we know have a c in our punch. in the southeastern city of a new go ballots were delivered late voters, both tired and bored. wondered when booths would finally be set up. poles were scheduled to close by afternoon and many worry they might not be able to vote. nigeria independent national electoral commission said some areas had experienced irregularities, and try to offer reassurance. anybody who had, who was only you before, $230.00, would be allowed to vote. even you horton rose will be on the official clothes

analysis, local news, 18 candidates are running for the presidency, but only 3 are seen as having a realistic chance of winning. also up for election or hundreds of seats in parliament. in this hotly contested election, voters only know one thing for certain. no matter who wins the challenges ahead will not be easy. manage him drama, 0, a boucher. let's take a look now at the main contenders for the president sale bowler to new boot is the ruling party candidates. he is previously served as the governor of lagos. and he qu, i, rebecca, is one of the nigerian richest business people. he served as vice president and was a presidential candidate for his people's democratic party in 20. 19, and on a front runner is peter, obey of the labor party, a $61.00. he's the youngest of the 3 main candidates. he has a big following amongst the youth. and served an opinion polls in the lead up to sack these vote. asia, sorry, is the director of the executive vice president's office at the open society

foundations. she explains what is at stake in these elections. people want something different and on the back of the n, south protest in 2020 young people for the 1st time just sort of said, you know what with tired of the state of school and so leading up to the election the primary last year, peter will be moved from p p to the labor party and to be honest, i don't think he would have expected this type of energy around him. but really what's going on with the elections? 20 elections is a referendum on the last 24 years. and how p b p and a p c has managed nigeria, the young people, they have weld the election so far an obedient campaign. if you look at the, the breakdown of the people with the pvc than people who registered with you know, we had like least 20 new 20000000 new registers added to the registrar between 9 the 2923 elections. they just thought it will be a cake walk, you know, an incumbent party when that's the a p c, p d, people. ok? we've been in power for 16 years. we will build on what we've had and didn't. he

will be coming out of left field. i don't think it will be understand the appeal, but he's had people asked why not any of the other 71614 other people. and i think then you'd say it's because p, toby's assessable. because as a governor of a number he, he was kind of person who would carry on bags. he, it is. he didn't travel by private jets, he's assessable to the regular nigeria. and in the way that the big men of nigeria, the tina booth, because i'm not, we can find them on a flight which is not something you find with the others. so if that assess ability and then he definitely also had in a way he's like from the east, which is ironic. why we came on this very strong repetition of integrity will be have something similar. the big win is that clearly the young people have shown that when they put their back behind a particular candidate, they can push that person as far as possible. the

french president emanuel nicola said he'll travel to china and just over a month to discuss the war and ukraine on friday, china released a piece proposal across and says it's important for china to put pressure on russia to end the war and withdraw from ukraine. the better of seeing the president, alexander lucas shanker, has also announced his visit beijing in the coming days. but a roost is one of russia's closest allies, lost yet minced, allowed the criminal to use his tempt you to launch a tax on ukraine. let's take a closer look now at china's piece proposal. it was talks between chinese diplomat last year and russian president vladimir putin. vision is calling for an end to western sanctions on russia and urging moscow and keith to hold peace talks. the proposal calls for the establishment of humanitarian corridors for civilians and steps to ensure the grain can be safely exported from ukraine. those are warns against the use of nuclear weapons in the conflicts as well as a tax on nuclear power plants. and the mock is a senior research fellow center for china and globalization. think tank. he says,

piece in ukraine is the best interests of china and the why the international community. i think china as a major economy, one of the largest, the colonies in the world, certainly benefits awe from an end hostilities. of course, ah, this will improve global sentiment, economic prosperity, put the world back on a path to economic prosperity, mis benefits, all countries, especially larger countries like i and i think that's one are certainly i think from a reputation prestige perspective are playing a role in ah, bringing this conflict to a close by with no other major power has been able to do so. are certainly, ah, i think would burnish china's reputation of we also have to recognize that others only so much and honest broker can do. and sometimes we both sides have to

fight to a certain amount of exhaustion before either can be negotiated, settlement, and whether we're at this point yet or not, i think remains to be seen. most high stakes negotiations or settlements, leave both sides unhappy. that's just the nature of the beast, and i think ukraine, ah, it's supporters in the west or certainly articulating and opening stance that they may end up with it. you never know, but we have to see. but generally speaking, i think these kinds of negotiated settlements are require a significant compromise on both sides in order for them to be achieved and be durable. when meanwhile, people have been protesting in cities across europe for them on an end to the war. someone can enter western governments arming ukraine, but others quite the opposite. again, bob, it was at one protest in london. the marching for peace in ukraine. hundreds to the streets of london on saturday, urging

a ceasefire and negotiations with russia to end the conflict among them. supporters of the campaign for nuclear disarmament warning that any escalation in fighting would increase the chances of a nuclear war. many wanted to see an end to western military support for ukraine. it would help if we stop saying, we'll just give you lots of weapons until you win the war. it's not going to happen like that. you know, ukrainians are really tough. russians are really tough that nato is really rich. so that's, that's all the ingredients you need for a kind of endless war with a demonstration is one of many happening over the weekend, across europe. now, for the demonstrators. all mean ukraine is simply making things worse and prolonging the conflict. but others take a very different approach in the belgian capital, many of those marching in solidarity with ukraine. we're actually refugee from that country. we've been for our

defense, we need the sanctions again, the russia. we need a comical support because we defend not only our land, we defend all democracy world. my own over there is i want to do my best. i want to show people as much as they want to survive. we want normal life. we want our love back while in berlin, a big protest at least 10000 turned up to say no to the idea of germany, army ukraine. we're demonstrating for peace and against our intervention of our government in a, in that war, that is not ours. the people that watered for those politicians, they did not know that they will push us into war and sad weapons into

countries that are in war. this is even against our constitution. so different messages and no end in sight to the misery inflicted on the people of ukraine. nadine barbara al jazeera london ah, a 184 people have been arrested by turkish authorities in connection with the 10s of thousands of buildings destroyed in the earthquakes. almost 3 weeks ago, engineering experts say poor construction practices and government failures are at fault. as to his boner reports, millions of tons of rubble is causing concerns about the health of the survivors in carmen. rush. well, it's a cold evening, 3 weeks after the earthquake struck this part of the country. still hundreds of thousands of people living in tens, not knowing exactly what is going to go on with life, but large parts of the city and large parts of this part of the country. like you
