6:03 pm
result i get up to not not seen it is it will want to try to come out with that yordway's we've what we've got down down and joining us live from boucher as i cause pond on how to natasha. and before we get to those criticisms off the process, how to where we at with the vote counting or people here at the collation was in to have just been told to come into the room . because officials from the electoral commission will start announcing the next batch of results. they say that the reason for the delay today is because some people from different states who have the results were delayed in terms of flights getting to up. we just said they still are making their way to the collation. santa people have been told the results should be announced anytime soon. in the mood here in nigeria is mixed a you get an idea from the newspapers. what's going on? for example, officials here say they'll continue calling out the result despite protests from, from opposition parties. we heard from a former president of nigeria albus angel,
6:04 pm
and he says he's also concerned about the delays in announcing the final official results. and he says in areas where people didn't vote because of violence or logistics, they should be allowed to vote again. this final one based on the few early results from the different states that came and it shows to new bo, from the ruling, the governing, apc potty, he's leaving at the moment. but that could change as more results from the different states caught coming in. and how to it's not unusual in nigeria for opposition parties to alleged that they have been irregularities in the vote. but what is the election commission doing to address the reports the incidence, in fact, of irregularities of foul play in the process so far? a they've gone to great lengths to try and explain to potty officials as well as that jerry and that they are doing everything they can to try and make this process as transparent as possible. but oppositional parties say that is not enough. some
6:05 pm
of them protested here in a boucher, they say they feel the lead it has been stolen and some of them are saying that election officials has just stop coiling out the results altogether. and then i j and should go back and vote all over again. but opinions are mixed, they are not genes who say what we voted, let the process play out. if we have an issue with the final result, go to court. so opinions are mixed, and of course the longer takes to announce these results. the more anxiety and suspicion they could be a nigeria. absolutely. how do there is a correspondent, how to metasource, who is keeping a very close eye on the unfolding events for i live in a boucher now british prime minister where she soon act is in belfast to shore up support for his new post bricks at trading dean for northern ireland, he reached an agreement with the european union on monday, but still needs the support of the democratic unionist party. i'm really pleased if
6:06 pm
i am over the moon yesterday. we managed to have a decisive break through with all negotiations with the e reached agreement, the new windsor framework that i think is an extraordinary positive that for northern ireland. and it represents as the european president has also had a historic moment for us to move forward. and results on the difficulties of the pulse. what he has had, the so called northern ireland protocol has changed when the u. k. left a u. a customs border was drawn between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom. which angered unionists under the winds, a framework of goods will be separated into a green lane that's for goods traveling to northern ireland and a red lane for goods moving into the you. let's go to our correspondent joiner hall . now he's joining us live from westminster and join. oh, soon has been receiving a lot of praise for this deal. and in britain for the most part, it's much harder to sell in northern ireland doesn't it?
6:07 pm
he knows he's got real work to do and know the not and that's why he went straight there this morning because you know, this is a deal that landed pretty positively on monday with m. p. 's here in parliament in london with international leaders with business leaders in northern ireland and political parties to even the d u. p. who are the big hold apps here and who's the so much of this is director that admitted that significant progress have been made . but he's now got to encourage them to buy this deal, and in doing so, returned to power sharing and all them out and, and all ready as they scrutinize the details. small tracks are appearing questions raised about specific wording. the prime minister himself on monday saying that this was a deal that removes the border from the irish c for good. well, it 1000 because with all this talk of red and green trade lanes, it's clear this is and will always be the external border of the single market. and they will god that with care. also this idea of the storm on break the sovereign
6:08 pm
right supposedly given to know the not to veto any rules in future. it doesn't like the european commission wording on that says this is something that will be used in the most exceptional circumstances where she's not asked about that this morning. admitted that more talks were required with northern ireland parties to codify exactly how that store month will work. so small cracks, hopefully for him they will become big cracks. the democratic union is in the meantime of studying the tex, listening and talking to the people of northern ireland. and i say their deliberations will take as long as it take and join us, some of what he had to say is prove quite controversial among n p 's back in london. tell us about that. yeah, well this was interesting because this was part part of the comments he was making in northern on and he actually repeated them on a national radio interview. earlier in the morning he said he was talking about the and believably special position of noah. not unique in the world, he said,
6:09 pm
because of its privileged access, both to the u. k. is internal market and the use single market. he said this was the prize and he said that made northern on the world's most exciting economics. well, that's touched off an enormous twitter, few rory, and not only among pro, remain politicians yet. people pointing out that this is exactly the sort of privilege to access that the whole of the u. k. had before breaks it. it's force number 10 to put a spokesman out during the day to clarify the prime minister's comments saying this is not the prime minister does not want the whole of the u. k. to go back to having that privilege access. and as he returns to london later, he'll meet with his back pension fees in parliament behind me. it won't help his conversation if any section of his back bench and fees begin to suspect that this is a prime minister. once pro, bricks it, who is now mentioned 18 for a much closer relationship with you, john, and thank you very much for that. john hall with the nascent live in westminster.
6:10 pm
now we have plenty more had on the news hour, including a seeking justice survivors of the warn sedans, western the for region speak our for the lasting impact of the conflict. and as for what, a dramatic one von victory for new zealand cricketers against england details coming up with peter. ah, now turkey has begun work to rebuild the homes of 1500000 people destroyed in the powerful earthquakes that struck the south of the country. and with elections just month away, president at the want has pledged to rebuild as soon as possible, but his government is under pressure to prioritize safety standards. how should maldonado reports from caught him on? marsh ah, lavender has come back to his neighbourhood in god. a man mulash to recover his
6:11 pm
belongings. his family had to move to a village nearby, but levant says he intends to return as soon as his parent's house is rebuilt, una marsan in america. so am i told him i want to spend my life in marsh. i was born here. all i want is a home that is built on solid ground and in lie with construction regulations. margaret eager to counter growing criticism. the act had slowly during the earthquakes. government officials have pledged to finish reconstruction within a year. she emerges in there, this is the biggest earthquake mobilization in the history of turkey or where establishing new urban planning for affected cities. and we will ensure the cultural and demographic identities of those cities are preserved. ah earthquake every is being cleared, paving the way for huge construction sites in affected areas. city official say,
6:12 pm
thou determined to build houses that are going to be stronger, safer and better. turkish society is divided on how best to move forward after the devastating earthquakes and staggering death tall the government insists or rebuilding quickly so that those who lost their homes can find a permanent shelter. but for many experts and architects is about making sure citizen buildings are designed to withstand powerful earthquakes and save lives. your lives foyer, but not everybody is convinced the government is doing the bye thing. so i want bork, i good cheer. murs is a construction engineer. he says the authorities should 1st stop giving zoning amnesty is to builders a violate seismic construction codes. look laudable, news st. you harden? so since lulu i made use with the ongoing aftershocks from time to time,
6:13 pm
i'm wondering whether the building not is the right thing to do. the authorities have arrested dozens of builders and amelia, for violating safety standards. for no victims of the earthquakes continued to deal with grief, they know nothing will ever be able to compensate for the loss of their loved ones hush about. but al jazeera government, mulash, and teresa bos joining us live farm guardianship now. theresa, as we mentioned, president error, the one has pledged to rebuild as soon as possible rebuilding as clearly has to be a priority. but so is clearing the millions of tons of rubble in the country. well, that's correct. and the government has fledged tools begin. the rebuilding process as soon as possible, you can see how people, hundreds of thousands of people all across the country are leaving right now in the areas that have been affected by the earthquake in many of them have had their
6:14 pm
homes destroyed. others there are free to go back because those houses have been damaged and the earthquakes are still ongoing. on monday there was a 5.6 earthquake in melody. at 2 people were killed, search and rescue teams on the ground. 32 people were pulled. 5 from the rubber, so this generates lots of tension and lots of fear. the government says that it is hoping to build at least $300000.00 homes in one year. it's that it has to demolish around 2000 berlin. let's not forget that around 180000 buildings have been either damaged or destroyed because of this earthquake. and as you just mention, it to millions of tons of rubble around 200000000 tons of rubble need to be removed it so that they're rebuilding process may begin. if we wanna have a sense of how much time it will take to overcome this challenge, this rebel challenge, we can look at the examples of other countries that have endured a similar earthquakes,
6:15 pm
although not this magnitude. so if we look at japan after the, the devastating earthquake and soon army of 2011, we see that it took them more than 3 years to deal with 30000000 tons of rubble. and here we're probably dealing with 7 times that, that volume. so i think we need to measure it in, in years, although things can be done shorter terms. while the president is asking people not to leave the areas they live in, the cities village is that even though they have been destroyed, the government is working to rebuild. he's the government, they asking them to relocate temporarily, but not to abandon this area. they say that they're talking so architects or been planners, engineers among many others. but this is a huge challenge. true building. the world bank estimates that around $34000000000.00 will be needed. this country's economy is in trouble. inflation is very, very high. the currency continues to depreciate, so if a major challenge for the government,
6:16 pm
then this whole reconstruction protest for the people that are living in places such as this one, they're hoping of course to have access to a home again to, to when you house again. but they know that it is going to take a while to he's a thank you so much for that. that is to raise a boy with a lace his life for us and ghazi on tap. thank you. will syria is also suffering from the aftermath of the massive earthquakes that struck or the 3 weeks ago with 8 slowly getting through syrians in the city of ed live, a trying to rebuild their lives as a bag for ports, piles of rubble with homes, one stood up, oh, ali hardly recognizes his neighbourhood. he is recovering what he can of his former life. hi the vehicle that little of under or and them of the yeah, this homes are rock. it's part of our life. it's now cracked as a result of the earthquake on collecting up positions and we'll look for shelter. i can afford to restore the building of a lot. all the cracks cause fear. many have left their homes as the aftershocks
6:17 pm
continued in the market place, businesses having closed with many badly damaged da da da shelter. i managed to solve some of the goods. the rest was damaged when i keep them at home, i'll try to fix part of the shop and resume business when possible. that is my story. buildings that remain standing, need to be inspected. the engineers syndicate, examine the damage, or the crack is 6 millimeters. white glove is all of the building must be demolished. he says, unlike neighboring turkey rebel held it live, doesn't have the resources or finances of a fully functioning state that i'm validated in early. thank you for that. we try our best to avoid demolition, taking into account the extremely high cost of reconstruction. the financial situation in general has already deteriorated. we are trying to strike a balance o residence fair decision to demolish many don't have the money to rebuild and there's no financial aid available. ah, for i will ali, living in
6:18 pm
a tent is safer than his house. he does what he can to keep his children happy. come baby, see what i've brought you. he says why? i love the serum response coordinators organization says more than 50000 displaced people are now living shelters here. this 10 city. now the homes for the foreseeable future, i said bake, i'll deserve now the european parliament is banning tick tock from star foreign. so what it says, a security reasons. follow steps taken last week by the european commission. on monday, canada banned the use of the chinese owned social media, f. one government issued mobile phones, and the white house has asked federal agencies to remove the app from their systems within 30 days. or china says the band by the u. s. is an abuse of state power, new woods only she had told her that war,
6:19 pm
as the world stopped superpower how unsure of itself can the u. s. b to fear a young people's fear it up to such a degree when the u. s. has been over stretching the concept of national security and abusing state power to suppress other countries. companies. we firmly opposed this wrong action issues in the u. s. government should respect the principles of market economy and fair competition. let's go now talk osborne and rosalind jordan, she is joining us live from washington d. c. and the house foreign affairs committee is set to vote on a bill to give president biden new policy to ban the tick tock at later on tuesday . roz. well, that's just part of what a bi partisan movement on in congress is looking to do. and in fact, there are some members of the us senate that are taking issue with china's attempts to portray itself as a young country there's. there's now a movement to basically remove china from getting any special le trade privileges
6:20 pm
that will go to smaller, less developed economies. that said, there's been a long standing concern here in washington about the use of tick tock and whether it is being used to essentially spy on americans. the trouble ministration raised these concerns. donald trump, the former us president, wanted to band the software. an agency within the us treasury department, known as safety is, has been trying to figure out how to allow tick talk to continue to operate inside the united states. at one point there was a talk about giving it a very specific operating rules, as long as it basically separate it from its owner bike dance and set up a purely us based operation system with, with very strict firewalls. so that data collected here in the united states could
6:21 pm
not be shared with byte dance, which is based in china. but so far that has not been worked out. negotiations are still under way. and both republicans and democrats on capitol hill are very concerned that the longer this goes on, the more vulnerable us users will be to any efforts to take their personal data. there's also, i should mention a report from reuters indicating that the white house is ordering the federal agencies to remove tick, talk from all of their devices from all of their computer systems that they have 30 days to do. so, of the biden administration, and as innocent sharing that same concern about the violation of americans privacy . but raw's, you know, would that would reports from last year that the committee on foreign investment in the united states tick tock, they had reached a per 1000000 preliminary agreement on safeguards. is there still
6:22 pm
a chance that that could bypass banning the app altogether? it's very unlikely when you consider that now the white house is trying to take its own action and that you certainly have a robust movement in the house of representatives to try to curb but take talk so usage in this country. now that doesn't mean that if the house of representatives came to a own agreement, that the u. s. senate would go along with it. but assuming that they agreed on how to curb tick tock activities and it reached the president's desk, you could probably expect some sort of legal challenge. the a, c, l u, which is, are the primary organization that is concerned about civil liberties in the u. s. has already said that efforts to curb tech talks a availability and it's usage violate the 1st amendment,
6:23 pm
the public's right to free expression without government hindrance. and so this is not going to be over just because a house committee of going to be taking up the matter and trying to figure out how to put restrictions on tick tock in a committee hearing later on tuesday. ross, thank you very much for that. that is a rosalind jordan with will the nicest in washington dc. thank you. ah, now president for not him is it ends. he's warning that the situation in the east and frontline city of buckman is getting worse. regional, separate us leaders, say needy. all the rows into the city and now on the russian control, the area has been the site of a bit, a deadly bass, one for more than 6 months, which cannot oxidize in buck moved. the situation is constantly becoming more difficult. the enemy is constantly destroying everything that can be used to protect our positions for fortification and defense. you are soldiers. defending in
6:24 pm
the backward region are real heroes and icons spot and hold on than how many has mo, from the ukranian capital. well certainly the korean forces they are under enormous amount of pressure as we understand that the russians have been trying to circle the ukrainians from the north east and the south of food and have been quite successful in advancing into 3 directions over the past few days. now do ukrainian forces, i'm the western part of the city they're holding ground but it's becoming more and . busy more difficult residents and so he has been warning about this for a while. this is not the 1st time, but certainly his latest remarks do, give an indication that my mood could be lost. it's not lost yet, but that could happen in that case. certainly for the russians, it will bring about a long awaited victory. it hasn't had one militarily for
6:25 pm
a long time. actually since october, russia has lost a lot of ground to the north east of the country when it pulled out of the hockey region during that ukrainian counter offensive. that took to russians by surprise, and also then after that in the south, in southern region, when it was forced to abandon the regional capital of the city of his own. so certainly for russia it will be a great victory, and it will also become a strategic victory in this says that from move it can then push towards cities like comic tours and slow vans. now, russian media is reporting that an unmanned draw and has crashed and the moscow region, the governor says the drawing was targeting a facility used by civilians. they have been no casualties or property damage. the incident is being investigated by local authorities. and russian president vladimir putin has told, has security service on tuesday to step up its activity to count on what he described as growing espionage operations against russia. if you could,
6:26 pm
duct you and then i will tell you what i see. we must strengthen our counter intelligence. as western special services have always traditionally worked against russia in inactive way. they have now thrown additional personnel, technical, and other resources against us. we must respond to it accordingly. and the russian defense ministry has accused us of planning a so called provocation and ukraine use and talks with chemicals. what's that? what we're doing, americans can, on february 22nd, the wilson center for when shall american in j o held a conference and events in the ukraine. speaking of the event, a former us ambassador to russia, john sullivan said, and i quote, one, it was russian troops planned to deploy chemical weapons in the area of special military operations. when you got this information as an intention of the united states themselves and that accomplish is to carry out a publication in ukraine using toxic chemical. and we will, we gave warning that if any such a presentation deploying, talk to chemical thanks,
6:27 pm
play for what we will identify the crew culprits and punish salma, been java has more for moscow. the ministry of defense for the 1st time has actually detailed a plan of how allegedly chemical weapons have been brought into ukraine in near the done yes, the region. this is where intense fighting has been taking place for the last few months. the minister defense is actually identified. the number of bo gave the type of chemicals it says could be used and which will be a violation off the organization of the prohibition of chemical weapons treaties. so it is all happening this morning in russia. this seems to be more alarm bells ringing the actual fighting. still ahead on the news, our beijing accused us of politicizing, the code, the 900 pandemic. as washington courts, the greater transparency, making real profits from the virtual world. just how will companies make money for the net? adam ford will show you the good and the bad from one of the biggest stars that's
6:28 pm
coming out with pizza. ah, ah. there, but again, near the far south of argentina, the wind up again declared spreading across. we'll see more rain and snow but actually as a building heat wave it argentine and further north and she lay once again the winds are particularly strong, but the sun still is these showers here back to standards shouted nothing extraordinary. now there on his in pot paraguayan, the south east of brazil, maybe the concentration of the heavy rate is a lot further north for this line. back towards ecuador, again, it's not extraordinary. new orange tops, if it is fairly persistent. and the breeze coming across the caribbean, his nostrils are the so light is showers, persistent may be in nicaragua, in costa rica, otherwise it's
6:29 pm
a dry looking picture. and warming up as it is still in the southeast corps of years. this is quite bizarre weather in the u. s. or the last winter storm, the hard ones blown through here and you see it now having less snow in new york 1st significant snow for over a year. yes, we're in late february. now the want to be pushed out if you like from southeastern states, we've been rec, hold warm recently. but winch has been the stories, you know, particularly in the rockies, still down the pacific coast, that cold wind blowing, temperature wise, you're not going to recover very quickly in san francisco. elaine is more snow for all the mountains. even the low ones. ah, women run micro businesses are key to santa goals development and to improved food security. access to finance helps them succeed. since 2014, nearly a 180 micro enterprises, collectives and small businesses across synagogue received concession re financing
6:30 pm
. these loans were made possible by an initiative administered by the q 8 good, will fund the q 8 fund partners in development, a catastrophic series of earthquakes into kia and syria has taken thousands of people's lives and left many more homeless and major mobilization of humanitarian support is underway ah, teams in the ground who bring you continuous updates to t n. syria makes on al jazeera lou. ah,
6:31 pm
who watching the news hour with me, elizabeth prom and doha reminder of our top stories the south election observe as an urgent candidates in nigeria to accept the results of saturdays. paula's vote counting continues, albeit slowly. the election has seemed long delays and report and results with opposition. parties alleging vote afford ukraine's president has warned, the situation is getting worse. the eastern frontline city of buchholz regional, separate us lead a se, needing all the roles into the city. and now under russian control and u. k. prime minister was used to knock his in belfast to seek support for his new post bricks at trade and dale for northern ireland, the democratic unionist party say this progress but warms that key issues remain void challenges more from belfast. since the deal was unveiled on monday, richie sooner has been basking in quite a considerable amount of prey,
6:32 pm
certainly in westminster and amongst the british press. people genuinely surprised . nothing encouraged her by how far reaching and deep are they steal, goes and also this new constructive tone. or of the u. k. 's dealings with the european union when you compare and contrast that with her the tone of years gone by certainly bore us johnson, her aunts and lis trust took a very different attitude, sir, to the european union. but richey soon act. i think should let that go to his head because he knows that the real acid test for this test is how it goes down. in northern ireland are particularly how it goes down or with the d, u p, who will be measuring it against their 7 tests. the criteria that they think that it has to meet or to get their approval. and they are, i think her cautious about giving approval just yet they're going to be going through the deal line by line, making sure that there are no traps for them. there are and working out whether they can come to
6:33 pm
a consensus view on that and that might take some time. now you as delegation, has visited the palestinian town of what are after it was attacked by israeli settlers on sunday. special representative for palestinian affairs. hardly, annette met with the victims israeli settlers burned down several horns, businesses and cars, where there has been an escalation of violence in the past few days to israeli settlers were shot dead near the city of nablus. and another israeli american was shot on a highway near jericho. far higher up has more from jericho just behind me, joe's going to show you here. we have a check point. it's one of many stopping people from leaving jericho or entering. they have allowed a number, a small number of people out, but it's taking a very long time off the bits of interrogation if they want to come out, jericho right now is on the lockdown. and the reason why that is, is because there are palestinians that are accused of carrying out
6:34 pm
a drive by shooting that happens on monday night. that kills and israeli american citizen, he was in his twenties. and now this is the 3rd israeli to be killed in just the 48 hours to israeli settlers was shot by a palestinian whose also on the loose i'm not was on sunday night. so tensions have been incredibly high. now jar code just behind me is a gateway for everyone in new occupied was fine if they want to leave occupied with bank cross to be crossing which then takes you into jordan. that's the only way out if they're going to be traveling. so you can see already those are coming out have had smiles on their faces because it's taken so long to do so. very few of them are able to leave. now this is all happening at the time where yesterday, monday we was filming in hawaii, which was a town not far from here. and that's why israeli settlers set home,
6:35 pm
they torched shops, they touched business as belonging to palestinians, and occupied was, bank seemed to be on fire in the last 24 hours. the attentions are incredibly high at the moment. and as you can see, we're still waiting for them to find the person that carried out the attack. now survivors of sedans, the 4 was still waiting for justice more than 2 years after a piece student was signed by the sudanese government and the main rebel lions rights group. say the war and board atrocities which amount to crimes against humanity have more than reports from north 3rd, 4th, when he's not moving around, show camp for internally displaced. people is how half of usually spent his time at home. one of the chief of the camp, he says he takes his free time to pray for the family members. he lost in bizarre for war. i mean, yes, my brother mohammed and my cousin you're here were both killed during the start of the war in 2003. both died just

6:37 pm
any one will be held to account a peace dealer signed in 2022 and the war a year after president bush was ousted. and while the deal stipulates those who committed crimes in dar 4 should be tried. those here say the fact that the government was involved makes them doubt that will happen, get i will, who will be bill is that any crimes against humanity? the crimes that involves government figures, the perpetrators always get away. it's a big disappointment to the revolution in 2019, when people called for justice. it hurts to see those who committed crimes against us walking free. while we continue to suffer is hawk says he doesn't know if he'll see justice for the killings of his family members. but he says if that day comes, he'll know that the war has truly come to an end. he but morgan bulges era. we shall camp north dar for now, baden has accused us of smear in china by re igniting the debate on the origin of the corona virus pandemic. the u. s. department of energy says it's likely the
