carrying a 120 people. when the next president did. c boss, to want to get an idea in peace. that's what we need. we need peace of. we're not junior hopes and fears. as nigeria comes votes and the most tightly contested presidential election in decades. i'm 20 years since the beginning of the war and dor 4 and so done still bears the scars ah, we're going to begin with breaking news from the occupied west by 2 is really settlers have been shot dead on a main road in the town of high water, a south of knob, los is ready, forces are searching for the saucepan. seller hiv. it's got the latest from west jerusalem. what more do we know solid? that's right. well, these 2 israeli settlers were young and that 20 is living in

a settlement near water, which is just south of novice and occupied with band could not. this is where 11 palestinians were killed only just on wednesday in a massive is really right now. since that attack earlier, several seconds in the area have been attacking palestinian homes, those reports of israeli forces forming take asked as well. and there's also been another report that one palestinian has been stopped by settlers, but that's still unclear. yeah. so it's a developing story and what we do know is that these railey security forces have closed down some of the check points on the still looking for the person that carried this out. obviously the timing of this is very significant because there's a meeting going on in jordan at the moment between israeli officials, the palestinian authority and some others, including the u. s. and jordan itself to try to deescalate tensions this is coming at the end of a weeks of increasing tensions between israelis and palestinians. yeah,

that's absolutely right. now the lack of security summit was organized by the u. s . that has that again, from the u. s. mediators from egypt as well between these railey authorities and palestinian authority. now, just to give a bits of context, tension have been high in the last few weeks, especially with this new radio government that's coming very it's coming down hard on the palestinian in the occupied territories. specifically in areas like not bless and jeanine where there has been an increase and that will increase in the youngsters. armed men including lyons den, which has car has carried out a few a tax on settlers but also loan palestinian moves the carrying out tax for example . the one that was outside the synagogue that killed 7 israelis and the israeli government is saying this is why they have set up their rates, the rights to somebody that's happening all the time. now in terms of this security

summit, the there is that there would, as security would be handed over to the palestinian authority that would take charge of what's going on in nablus and jeanine much. so the discontent of most palestinians of come out vocally saying that they don't have the problem here is see a continued is ready occupation, especially the increasing of israeli illegal settlements in occupied territories on the expansion and building of new homes as well. and this is a time when the israeli government, for example, has just within the last hour is looking bring in and introducing a law that would serve the death penalty to any palestinian that's been accused of carrying out an attack. these are false measures strong measures that the government is very keen to bring in the same time as the u. s. as egypt as jordan, a trying to reduce tensions. and just this year alone,

you've had $65.00 palestinians only in the occupied with killed in under 2 months. not so much, much higher number then the same time last year, which was considered to be the most violent and hence yay, in more than a decade between israelis and palestinians. so it just shows you the direction that this year is heading. and this summit is supposed to try and crush those tensions whether it will and should be able to do that. we'll have to see the secretary of states was just visiting here a few weeks ago. and he said that he was keen to ensure that he would leave a delegation, some of his seniors behind to try and come to a solution. but so the israeli new is ready. right. when government seems to have other thoughts in mind, you have sarah, we're just starting to get a couple of lines out of that meeting and knock about. we're reading that jordan's king abdullah told the u. s. president middle east adviser. that's brett mcgee, who's out of that meeting, that there is a need to accelerate efforts to quote, bring com and reduce escalation in the palestinian territories seller highlight

out by political figures here. candidates who are urging the electoral commission to go ahead and start uploading some of those preliminary results from some of the different states in nigeria, where those votes have been verified so that people can see them. because there's a concern that this information is spreading about which candidate may have gotten what number of votes in different states. and that is something that is a concern here, right now we are expecting that around 6 p. m local time, which is in another 3 hours or so, there's gonna be another press conference by the electoral commission and we expect that they may start a releasing preliminary results from some of the vote counting centers at that time . all that being said though, one of the things that i keep hearing from voters over the course of the last couple of days is they have been happy that there is not been widespread vileness round the country on election day that many people said that they expected that things were going to be much more insecure to that end. here's our report where you

not have been overstated, and they didn't think that the government was prepared. they thought that there were too many logistical difficulties. they thought that the ballots were not distributed in as prompt away. there were too many delays and now they say that they're concerned about how long it's taking to even get preliminary results released. i will tell you one more thing, rob, at this hour, we just don't know when to spect a final tally of votes in this general election. a lot of the people we speak with, they believe that perhaps by late monday night, maybe by tuesday there would be italy. some people think it will take longer, whatever the case is. everybody here we've spoken with says a lot hinges on these elections, that they are extremely important for a country that is currently in crisis. and it's the only chance to get things start turning around here in nigeria, rob muhammad jammah jim in boucher mohammed, thank you. ah lou, it's been nearly 3 weeks since earthquakes destroyed sizes of homes and southern

takia and northern syria. more than 50000 people have died in the disaster, and millions have fled the devastation, which are now by teresa bo, she's in no dear in the southern took care. it was one of the cities that was particularly badly hit would be when talking about hundreds of thousands of people who lost their homes and are now many of them living in camps. we can see some of the tents behind you just talk us through the situation where you are. well, that's correct wherever you go away in seventy's turn for others not to tense, just like the one that you can see behind with people living in them. we're just and now we're away from the city of garcia and this is, this is where this camp was set up around a 1000 people. among the many, many families are leaving and people are telling us that they have received, for example, food and water. and they have been able to get this pants that at least keep them warm during this very cold. what has been a very cold winter?

it's catching a bit warmer now. and that's something that people here are celebrating. but still there's lots of need and lots of uncertainty about what's going to happen with their lives. the government has distributed the tense, over $300000.00 family, setting them container areas. 13130 area container city. so people can move in, i live in those places, but many of the people that we have focus to here are wondering what is going to happen with their lives when they're going to be able to once again, own a home and how they're going to do it, the united nations is estimated that 1500000 people have been left home left doing this earthquake. so all of the people we have spoken to here are desperate friends and teresa the same time the government is coming out an investigation into particularly people who could have been involved in corrupt building practices, which may have led, at least in part, to some of the buildings coming down to the earthquakes. well,

that's correct and that's a big investigation. the minutes room just isn't that 600 people are currently under investigation for what people here call corrupt building a practice is. and it's quite astonishing when to enter cities like this, when a new c run new building that either completely collapsed or are damaged right now . and they were supposed to be to assist an earthquake and they did not. that's what's being investigated right now. the government has said that over a 100 a need, people have already been detained. among them, constructor can construction companies or owners of construction company, property owners, among many others, they want to find out what exactly went wrong. in fact, the mayor of the city where, right, i'm right now. what is from the party of precedent or the one with also the pain then? and people here are trying to know the breaking this investigation been want to know what went wrong. many of the people with folks say that they all into one of

those apartments and now they're leaving in attends. they're saying that they saved money to be able to, to afford the proper housing of that they have lost that because of this earthquakes. so most certainly people here are celebrating this investigation. they have one to know what went wrong and why those buildings that were supposed to recess an earthquake. they did not. that may not happen as theresa brings up to date from southern turkey. teresa, thank you. still had an al jazeera struggling to tackle an electricity crisis. the head of south africa's power company, resigns, but claims the government for persistent blackers ah hello the weather, slightly farther dry across a good parts of china across so much of the korean peninsula. and his turning dryer
