1:03 pm
a lot smoother than some people had anticipated that they would. now we're here right now at the jury, a civil society situation room. this is where they are monitoring a team that they have throughout the country as to how the vote counting is going to how the vote is going. as you mentioned in your intro, there has been voting extended today. there are pulls open at this hour for another few more hours in the areas where there were issues yesterday where people were not able to vote. so we're waiting to find out how that will go and we'll, we'll get that news to you throughout the day. yesterday, all through the day we were talking to voters about how crucial these elections are here, some of what they told us in the jury of capital. the 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. i rely 5 that you
1:04 pm
re, re, re, re re, you know, written on the phone. how many probably months known 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 line. people waited. despite the lead start earlier in the day, things are going 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 air 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. led into fi you. we way, so let's you will apprehend you. i will bring you to justice for voters
1:05 pm
here growing concerned not just over the high cost of living, but even what might happen after this vote if this was you wrong. that means that we don't have a see enough on sure. in the southeastern city of new goose 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 q before $230.00, would be allowed to vote. even if voting goes will be on the official closing hours of 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,
1:06 pm
voters only know one thing for certain. no matter who wins the challenges ahead will not be easy. so rob, the question right now is how long is it actually going to take to get results from these polls? and what we've heard thus far is that most people anticipate that the earliest we could really potentially hear a final result might be monday evening. but there is no certainty to that at this stage, to that end, i want to bring in a guest that we have with us right now. this is again pay on yema. she is a coordinator here with the civil society, a situation room here in nigeria, in a boucher thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. i want to ask you 1st about what you are hearing from your teams that are fanned out across the country about how the vote went and how things were going in about any results you've heard about so far. okay, thank you very much. oh, yesterday things didn't go very well because the pulls thing open on time. but so i sat today,
1:07 pm
i next is trying to make repair to dues and some states i haven't got elections this morning as we speak. how are you concerned that these elections aren't going to be as free and fair as they should have been? oh no, that concern is not there. so what is the primary concern at this point if, if voting is going on today? if there hasn't been as wide spread, an amount of violence as some people thought there might be, what is the primary concern that you have at this moment? the primary concern is that there was a huge delay in the command mental pulls. i know here right here in abu jail, we sought out who i've looked in into one p. m. and at midnight's, i don't think that's really fair, especially for fast angle to us. as far as to day with the, with the vote that's been extended in the areas where it's happening, are you hearing that that is going smoothly or are there difficulties being encountered? so the difficulties will be dad's own citizens may not be able to come out in games, votes simply because the way out there yesterday and even get to do the acts. oh,
1:08 pm
i hope he's, that's the information on has gotten to them. some of the states have actually should, will, to says to see, to happen between 10 and 2 pm today. so i'm hoping that so yeah, when s is there for them to come out? are you hearing about any preliminary results or percentage of results that have been perhaps reported or uploaded to the electoral commission website and, and what kind of numbers are we talking about at this point? so i rely on day i, nick, i read what's out where results i uploaded from to poly units. i sat this morning, we have just about $30000.00 plus results from on the presidential elections. and if we're looking at percentages, that's about 17 percent of the results because we have $176000.00 closely units. ringback and a man, you just one final question um, do you have any expectation as to how long it could take to get a final result in this presidential and parliamentary general election because he
1:09 pm
need a spreadsheet of all the states. i to set some time accounts in about 12 states where electrons might be holding this morning. it may revise on a couple of them. so we are looking like about tuesday to begin to know who am i to the president are right. jumping on e. m a thank you so much. we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. so there you have it, rob, and at the moment a big question about how long it's going to take to get all of these results. as we were told by amazon, emma, at the, at this point, it seems that perhaps 17 percent of the election results have been uploaded to the electoral commission. but we don't know when that will be announced right now. we're trying to find out is how will the voting go in the parts of the country where the poles have been extended into a 2nd day because there were so many delays yesterday. but as i said before, one of the things we are hearing from a lot of the people here in a boucher is that there is a bit of
1:10 pm
a sense of relief that at least there wasn't as wide spread incidents of violence yesterday as had been feared. initially going into this general election. uh huh. john jim, talking to us from a boucher we're going to bring in her mom tassel. he's joining us live from a new group. how to you, where you are is one of the areas where the ballot boxes will be doing being delivered later as mohammed was telling us just a moment ago, what are people they're saying about the selection of people are jittery, relieved that the voting process server, but they said they were frustrated by the fact that some flooding stations took way too long to open some more than 3 hours in saying some of the voting machines didn't work. but they willing to listen to the election. officials were telling them to be paid until the final results are announced on saturday when voted to place many businesses were forced to shut down is now sunday that things are open and streets are busy people out there by trying to make money. one of them here is
1:11 pm
jonathan. he is 28 years old. he sells, he says, a for about a k g. it can go for about $6.00 for a k g on a good day. he can sell about 2 animals and that's how he makes living. sometimes it's not enough. he's one of the many young people here in nigeria who complain about unemployment. the unemployment rate here is more than 30 percent, and most people who are unemployed high, young people use talked nigerians or say i have a university degree. i have a master's either ph. d. but i'm driving taxis. i'm sweeping floors because i can't find work. there's no work, so a lot of people try to make ends meet here in the market, selling anything from he nuts to bananas, to eggs, to breads, to fruits, to drinks, whatever they can find to make ends me. the narrow has been losing value. a lot of partly because of global events, but also because of things happening here in nigeria, the high cost of living for many, many people is a struggle for women, for example,
1:12 pm
for them an easy way to make money. it's not a lot, but it's a start. they cook food, food like rice and local delicacies here in nigeria. they sell them on the street for maybe 2 dollars, 3 dollars, depending on the meal. and that's how they try and make ends meet. but if you speak to mothers with children who are not employ, they say, you know, how am i supposed to feed my family? that's why the economy here was a big issue for people here in the southeast as well as other parts of nigeria in the south. these the also dealing with a separatist movement, these are many young men who are armed and they been fighting for years now. they complained that the unemployment rate here in the southeast, especially among the youth. they say that the poverty and the high levels of unemployment is really frustrating. some of them feel abandoned or marginalized by the federal government in a boucher. that's why some of them say they're taking of arm. so that's why i don't know if you hear stories of bandits on the road. you hear story. politicians being
1:13 pm
targeted by these gunmen and civilians have been suffering as results in some of the remote areas. outside the cities, people are saying they don't feel safe to move around. some people waiting to see the results of the solution when you buy it out and they'll weigh the wins, will be a leader for all the people in nigeria, or thank you very much indeed. that's how rheumatology are talking to this from integral. it's been 20 years since the start of the war in door for hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and millions more have been forced out of their homes. the fighting has eased, but many people are still living in camps with nowhere else to go. i'll just either scribble morgan has more from north star for this was once a home in the village of uncle shadow and to dance north. therefore, as alma adam stands amongst the ruins where his home once stood, he remembers his life here before being forced out when the were and dar 4, began ottawa on helena had love him for them. chris rock, people came and dreaded the village. there was 6 cars loaded of guns,

1:15 pm

1:16 pm
liberal morgans johnny was low from the elbow shook internally, displaced persons camp in north star for habit seems very little progress has been made in the last 20 years. why is that one for the people here? it's the fact that the fighting has lasted for years, and when it eventually did, and it took another few years before a peace deal assigned. now here in north star, for there are at least have a 1000000 people display still living in camps waiting for the full implementation of that piece agreement signed in 2020 to be able to return home. there several camps such as these around the dark for region more than a 1000000 people fill in those camps. many of them living very deteriorating me 7 situation saying that they are in desperate need of aid. but this still waiting for situation to improve. now with me, what now as one of those people of the display people here in the camp we have now made a new maybe is one of the displace people miss enemy,

1:18 pm
in these liberated areas, we are still cutting arms simply. we cannot go back because of the security situation and in the camps here. and in the camp here. what has been the situation of how has life been for you? people? it's been 20 years that you've been living in this camp for 7 minutes. we mascara are living here in these camps for the last 20 years, not till this moment. we were not able to raise our children properly. we cannot also get any job opportunity. the relief agencies cannot provide any job opportunities, despite the fact that we are doing our best to keep our children at schools
1:19 pm
was very difficult. and i lean or the chagrin nym any. thank you so much. now in the mary is one of those people who have been living in the camps for 20 years now. he says that obviously as we heard from him that the situation is bad for the youth who have no job opportunity. but this is the story that we've been hearing from nearly all the displaced people here in the camps that their lives have been constrained within those walls that they live in, or rather a despite the lack of balls within the area of the camps that this is all they know, and that 20 years on, even if fighting, has stopped the if evidence, the remainder is everything about the war. and our for our, that started 20 years ago still persists or a tooth as day. hip morgan in nor so for their very mom had in the news are including struggling to tackle and electricity crisis. the head of south africa is power. company resigns, but blames the government for persistent blackouts.
1:20 pm
ah, officials from israel, the palestinians resort in the u. s. jordan and egypt are meeting in the city of october in jordan. they're discussing ways of deescalate the recent tensions in the occupied westbank. but many palestinians say the global community wants to maintain israel's military occupation. it abraham reports. it's hard to miss growing palestinian support for i'm groups and he just examples of a theme at thousands demonstrated across the occupied west bank at midnight. responding to a call by the lines them arm who 11 palestinians were killed in an israeli, on the city of nablus. on wednesday, some were fighters from the group. now palestinian officials have flown to jordan
1:21 pm
to attend the security summit with israel organized by the us. egyptian and jordanian officials are also there. the the meeting on sunday is an attempt to de escalate growing tensions. greg and we established palestinian security control in nablus and jeannine them to cities where fighters are operating blemishes and leather for a city. emory. the americans don't want a full blown escalation that would destabilize the region at a time. they and the rest of the world are busy with ukraine and its ramifications . you are the worst that could happen is we implement their plan to push the p, a security to take over from these rarely occupations that would lead to civil war . the 5th palestine depends on international aid and a large sum of the money it gets goes to the security forces. most graduates from this military academy and up joining the ranks of palestinian authority security forces. even though it has fluctuated support for the security establishment hasn't
1:22 pm
stopped. good that say such heavy international investment in the security forces. this empowers palestinians and many question coordination between the palestinian authority and israel on security. nearly 30 percent of international aid to the palestinian authority goes towards security. when the balcony and authority was established, the main goal of international aid was to keep the peace process go away. but this has changed over the years and many say that the goal now is to ensure stability. while many world leaders are calling for de escalation intention, palestinian said they're missing the obvious problem, israel's military occupation. and without addressing that, they say any other discussions will only prolong get me that for him. i'll just eda the occupied westman called, is it a senior political analyst? my will. michelle is joining me now in the studio. good to have you with us as always, with regard to this meeting, is this
1:23 pm
a meeting that the palestinian authority had to go to? did it really have no other option? where does have options, sir? that's what are most palestinians factions most but a c. m. parties much of the fallacy public opinion has demanded that it does not go to such a meeting that it's preferable for the pennsylvania authority to be more in touch. in fact, with its own people rather than with the demands of israel and the united states. but the policy no authority for a long time has been hostage to a diplomatic process that basically run from washington. and just because of the fear that israel is, are increasing the suppression in the occupied territories, increasing its illegal settlements. palestine feels that it needs to go back to the
1:24 pm
united states. it tried the united nations as you know, but that did not work very well. the unit says has promised that it would bring israel to the table. but instead of discussing the end of occupation, we are discussing securing the the occupation. instead of discussing a return to diplomacy, we are discussing the return to security. and instead of discussing peace. now we are discussing co existence with the military occupation you're talking about did the, the prospect that the palestinian authority has heard about the fact that it is going to go to this meeting, particularly for some, some of the on the roofs that we are. we know about how much is it really, is it a risk to the palestinian authority itself to actually be making this decision to go to the that to this meeting? i think it's quite risky, especially now that there are more and more armed groups within palestinian refugee camps within the better senior cities like jeanine madison, others as well as refugee camps in the south. and i think those it's going to be
1:25 pm
very hard for the, for the senior authority to take control of without a lot of fallacy and casualties. a lot of that athenian divisions and suffering and so on, so forth. but what is required in this, aka summit, is for the palestinians thick on the security of the occupation, so that israel doesn't do it itself the on your way, nathan? yeah, i was going to accept that israel forces don't go in and kill more better stimulus engineer nobliss is for the penicillin fo to do with itself. but the procedure of authority would be quite foolish if it will be responsible for the palestinian civil war in order to defend ezra. but by the way, just to put that in perspective, and it's important for our viewers around the world because i'm sure no one or hardly anyone remembers that there was an upcoming meeting. 20 years ago. this year, 20 years ago,
1:26 pm
back the summer. there was an october me think hosted by king abdullah, but who attended that meeting? president bush prime minister sharon, it was a summit of leaders discussing a vision of 2 state solution that was then today we have mid and low level technocrats and security advisors trying to implement trying to reinforce is rainy occupation. so you can imagine from 20 years back to now, how dreadful the situation has devolved venture. while we're in bayshore out as it is from senior political analyst, as always, thank you very much. and you, ah, or russian president vladimir putin is accused nato, of being an indirect accomplice to crimes. committed by keith is also accused western powers of working to disintegrate and control russia. on the grounds,
1:27 pm
the moscow backed wagner, whoops. has its fighters have captured the village of yeah, good night. that's north of back. most fighting has been concentrated around the city for weeks. well, for more than the view from moscow, they speak to some a bunch of it in the russian capital is the 1st time we've heard from president wooten since the latest round of western sanctions. well the details of the sanctions of are only announced a day before where 87 and individual 34 entities have a further been imposed with sanctions. they are going to be slapped with movement restrictions, restrictions on their assets. and it seems that now the rest in the lions is moving to words, honing in on individuals and entities will help russia to withstand do more than 11000 sanctions that we've seen in the last year or present. vladimir putin in his, the interview has said that this is not just an issue of war with ukraine. this is an existential issue for russia. he's accused the west and the nato alliance off
1:28 pm
trying to dismember russia, saying that since the time of the soviet union, and now with the russian federation, their aim remains the same, little make russia disintegrate. so for the only way they will accept russia is if it russia is in pieces and that is something that he will not allow to happen. and this is something we will be hearing from him in the build up to this one year anniversary as well. the other thing that put in a said, which is afloat, is again about the nuclear capabilities of not just the united states, but also other rest and power. saying that the for russians to consider their defense, they have to take all of it into account. of course, meantime, the fighting is continuing on the front lines in eastern ukraine. absolutely, so this is what we've seen in the last few months that the russian forces have consolidated positions and inching deeper into eastern parts of russian control. ukraine or the wagner group remains the tip of despair, which is
1:29 pm
a contracting group, according to russians, mercenaries, according to greens and their allies. and they seem to have taken more villages, more areas in the northern parts of the city of buffalo. and they have been consolidating their positions from the south in the north saying that there are a few kilometers away from the center of but more than also investigating reports that ukrainian troops have blown up a dam to slow down their advances. so yes sir, as these statements and diplomatic efforts and statements continued to go up, the russian forces are continuing, their assaults and ukrainians are trying to dig into their positions and hold on to as much territory as possible. a child shielding his sister, a monument from 2014 when ukrainian shelves had done yeske in the last year of fighting here. at least 35 more children have been killed. and in the last 9 years of conflict, russian officials estimate thousands of died in russian controlled territories.

1:31 pm
use of banned weapons. human rights watch says ukrainian forces used euro gun cluster munition rockets in an attack on has out if got in hockey region from may to early september. ukrainian forces repeatedly attacked the city of idiom and surrounding areas while they were under russian control with cluster munitions. since russia annex these regions last year, many here now have russian passports, but that doesn't take away the dread of the next incoming missile. but the engine lady school, we are all at great risk. i get up to go to work and i don't know whether or not a missile will hit us when i'm on the bus. i don't know if rockets will striking tonight, but we can stay indoors forever. i need to leave my house. we just spray and go outside a personal nozzler. it is dangerous, but i have to go out doors. we have to eat something. we must buy essentials. it was in the north though all this man says he was building a snowman with his daughter in a shell exploded next to them. this arrived with minor injuries. so now parents
