some degree as an increase in shares, also in passive kenya, townsend. he earned uganda. little unusually for this tom. yeah. maybe it's welcome but it's, they're all the same. and you know, in southern africa, this is still the remains of tropical cyclone freddy. it still looks like a circulation is produced almost a year's worth of rain in some parts of mozambique. there's got to be widespread flooding here. and now i'm looking at the forecast for wednesday and for thursday has it gone away? no, it has not been for showing signs of wanting itself up once again. ah, ah. oh. where mom want what do you mean ob brunelsa? how barney nigeria is president elect to bowler didn't boom boom. defends the

it was fraudulent to new bu who's from the governing? all progressive congress is urging citizens tonight around him. ah, luxurious independent, national electoral commission says to new bu got nearly 8800000 votes. that's about $2000000.00 more than his nearest rival opposition parties had earlier called the saturday's pole to be cancelled describing the process as a sham and we in the world that we're that we won't forget where much one for the opera. how

morning. let's join over there. dress correspondence to joins us now. lie from the capital of boucher. a very interesting election admitted a declaration in the early hours of the morning. it's very strange time to declare the window when most of the population is in bed. well basically it's a hell, it's been a betty moment for everybody from the board to the political parties. so they election officials and considering the delays, we've seen over the past few days and reactions or proctors from opposition. parties up the people. i expected this to happen and what the results coming so early or so late into the night depending on which side of the bed on. definitely a lot of people just waking up to the news that the ruling party candidate has just one. and like he said, if you listen to his keywords,

it's just speech. basically the key word that is unity. this is a deeply divided country upfront, just nation. so many factors have played in this election. you have religion, you hop politics, you have regionalism, you have a 50, so many problems have gone into this election and also also helps you tell me which way of if the vote went, basically the opposition from day one. stage one out. when the results are being and i was the correlation center a purchase that the procedure was wrong. and there are several legal arguments about whether or not the election commission was right or wrong about the next 2 days. and few weeks will determine which way, whether the votes is the courts will determine whether the mode or the procedure was correct or not. is what the opposition wanted that they wanted. the

confirmation of the vote by the election commission insisted that the process must continue wherever wants to challenge the results of the election. will go to court in terms of the way politics works in nigeria. normally, when there are disputed elections or losing side for the moment, should i say, is not happy with the way the vote was conducted. we do wait to hear about what they say. as you said, they, they've already said the election is a sham. the not very happy about the way the vote count happened on the one day with delays in various parts of the country. and how do you think they all going to proceed? is it down the legal route or do you think from what you've seen and heard in the lead up to the selection? that there is an appetite for the opposition to call the public house onto the streets if they feel very strongly that the election has been taken away from them . what the hell, the key dispute in this election or in the procedure of counting the votes and

correlate in them, is the use of the vast a device which identifies our records as well as a credit of water. before you vote, the opposition insisted that the results of these machines have not been up loaded as promised by the election commission on to the server, which will give, which will allow all parties either the opposition or the governing party to determine how many or to determine whether the results on the sheets that was given to agents of political parties and the result on these machines tightly together, that's the main bone of contention. now, depending on what we see, the next few days will determine whether or not we she protest on the streets. that is a lot of anger on the streets, especially from the opposition parties that this election has been stolen from them . and the, the, the wound and party insisted that is no foul play in this election saw is the election commission. and what angered most of the political party, i mean,

the opposition parties is that refusal by the election commission from day one to proceed with the demands of the opposition. but they have to node or up load the results on the vast machine on to the ionic server before the connection continues so that they can verify whether the results loaded by the machines and the ones on the paper. physical results shifts tightly together. so we are watching closely to see the next few days how things pan out on the strength of nigeria. whether that is that appetite for practice on the street. we've seen a little bit off in yesterday. some people tried to protest in front of the coalition center and some went to the headquarters of the election commission to protest what they say. 5 the, the breakdown of the, the, what do you call the abundance of the guidelines of the election commission itself or sale. so while the domestic holiday titian's fight it out, so to speak, and in a war of words, we still have yet to hear from the independent. observe as in the foreign election,

observers more often than not, with elections across the world, their opinion about how the election was conducted can be crucial in a moments like this. absolutely. already that preliminary results from various election observe emissions of the african union to come on well, the and r i, the n v. i have all issued reports based on the observation of election date. and what's transpired after the close calls on that particular day and a lot of them complained about the process, the delays as well as the violence. but whether or not these violence are enough to condemn this elections or to $95.00 that would affect the outcome of this. and let's wait to hear from them because we expect today or between today and tomorrow . busy these observer groups will issue a statement and their reaction to the announcement of results by the electoral

commission here in nigeria. but basically at the moment we receive reactions, mute to react, to support this polar material. this is the day or the morning after the election results. why? here we are in front of the company headquarters of the governing party. and you can see there is little activity here, but we expect probably in the next 2 hours also to see some movement either on the streets on the part of the opposition parties on the part of the governing party. that one elections and will continue to modest events on the ground with you and our teams across nigeria through the day and that address that for us in a boucher thank you. the cargo and passenger train have collided in central grease killing at least 32 people. emergency teams are on the scene just outside of the city of larissa, searching for passengers who may still be trapped in the wreckage. local media are

reporting that the accident happened near the entrance to temper tunnel. several cars do railed, and some caught fire it. so moving stories that sir bring in john ser awful us to join us now live from aetna, valeo in greece, and john just bring us up to speed on what we know about the exact circumstances of the incident. it appears that a north bound passenger train collided head on with a southbound freight train seriously in an area where double track has been built, the athens to the seller need you stretch that these 2 trains were traveling on, which is the country's main line does not have double tracks to routes, and it's been a big issue for a number of years now. how quickly that can be built? well, here it was built, it was ready. it was meant to be one of the safest stretches of track in greece.

and yet that due to a sick milling era, perhaps we still don't know where the human error was in bold, but it appears to be that way of both track, both trains ended up heading towards each other on the same track. the head of the train drivers union was interviewed earlier on local media and said that throughout this line, not just on this section, all signaling and all switching is done manually. despite the fact that machinery has been put in place for automated safety procedures to work. but that hasn't been activated, so that will definitely be one of the issues that the government will have to answer. because although the operations side of greece's trained network has been privatized since 2017, to the italian state train authorities, the infrastructure remains the competence of the greek state. so they were the ones responsible for getting this material up and running. it's of good. well,

let inquiry, of course, we'll start a in due course. john, we're getting a range of figures about the amount of people that have died. angels could still be trapped on water people on the ground. they're telling you about and certainly the injury at numbers, but also whether there are still people trapped in some of the carriages. is that correct? yes, the pictures we've seen this morning of enormous cranes lifting parts of the passenger cars that are visible to the camera. but apparently they lie on top of other passenger cars that mangled and disfigured beyond recognition. they were the ones, the 1st 2 cars in the passenger train were the ones that were engulfed in flames. and where we expect we're going to have many more fatalities discovered that process remains. that's going to unfold today til off las for us in the valley.

thanks for joining us. of course, we'll follow events through the day. ah, in the color break in northern syria is less than the humanitarian crisis after last month. powerful earthquakes, the you and humanitarian cheese. as the situation on the ground is dire, a more international aid is needed. growing demands and density therefore of critical items tend to be the obvious example. rising prices, australian supply chains into the, into the region to beginning to fly and suppliers detection border and also goes into damascus and aleppo. this is essential and most welcome of the markets. no longer readily supplied cross border operations. some of these

poor items and some need such costly but necessary critical infrastructures about damage. lucas and slay me has more from the united nations in new york. the united nation says more 8 is getting into northwest syria, but it still is not nearly enough. thousands of buildings have been destroyed or are at risk of collapse. and because of that, it's estimated 5000000 syrians are in need of shelter and non food humanitarian assistance. so un says that as many as 5 syrian families are cramming into one tent to stay warm at night. heavy equipment is in short supply to clear debris and begin rebuilding. the un says the humanitarian response remains hindered by restricted access, a lack of funding. and what they describe as the unintended consequences of western sanctions. un has been working with the us and the you to reassure businesses with

resources to help that sanctions do not apply to humanitarian assistance. they're also working to get more access from within syria for deliveries to get through damascus. and then there's the need for funding. a pledging conference in the coming days will ask countries to contribute nearly $400000000.00 to respond to the crisis caused by the earthquake. that's on top of some 4800000000 dollars that the un was already requesting to address the needs that were brought on by 12 years of civil war. that campaign is so far, severely underfunded well, still had hit on al jazeera. we'll take a look at life off to among sloan siege, with a report from insulted russian annexed mother. i'm informed opinions for right extremism is real and need to be factual as soon as

the great wells numbers have gone down by almost 40 percent. according to the national oceanic and atmospheric research administration, u. s. agency, that's the number of carbs is decreased to, to the lowest points in scientists. started counting them in the ninety's. the doctor says here martinez in san ignacio laguna mexico together with his team where whales breed. he's been coming here for the last 15 years to monitor them as part of the laguna son ignacio echo system science program. i asked him why the drug phenomenal c m i, and seems to me that i, you know, like when there's a phenomenon called skinny well in which you start seeing that their body condition is getting worse. getting thinner. it's because they're not getting enough food. and from the middle of 2018, the phenomenon started happening. it peaked in 2020, when 30 percent of the whales were in that condition and all the whales feet in the arctic on shrimp like creatures could empty boats that they'd dig for in the mud.

indications are the supplies running low climate change could be involved, but there's also precedent to this in the late 19 eighties. and again in 1999, there was a big drop in whale numbers. scientists believe that there is a natural tough point in the number of gray whales, so every system can support when they reach that point, the number goes down and then it starts climbing again back in the lab. so he says he's cautiously confident it will happen again. this time, the new numbers his team are coming up with up. but of course it is a cyclical process. no, that's our hope we've seen that happen before. and you know, it won't keep going down. there is an unknown factor here. ill, probably my only thing is that it's going down and then you factor in global warming and you don't know if it will go up again or not. i'm not seeing certainty here every time. the numbers dip for the researches i'm for the curious friendly animal that they're watching over john home and i'll just say to son ignacio lagoon
