from the people democratic party has 29 percent. well, when the nigerian presidency, the winning candidate must have the largest number of votes nationwide plus at least 25 percent of the vote. in 2 thirds of the nation's $36.00 states plus a buddha, if those thresholds and not reach then now be a run off between the top 2 candidates. and the address has more from nigeria and capital. it's been a very tense moment for everybody from the voter 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 if you listen to his keywords, speech, basically the key word that is unity. this is a deeply divided country for jeff nation. so many factors have played in this election. you have religion politics, you have regionalism, you have

a 50. so many problems have gone into this election and also also helps determine which way this vote went. basically, the opposition from day one staged was out when the results are being announced. the correlation center park tested, but the procedure was wrong. and there are several legal arguments about whether or not the election commission was right or wrong. how about the next few days and few weeks will determine which way whether they vote is the courts will determine whether the votes or the procedure was correct or not. these is what the position wanted. they wanted the consolation of the vote. but the election commission, assisted by the process, much continued wherever wants to challenge the results of the election, was go to course no cargo and passenger train applied it in central greece, killing at least 32 people. emergency teams are on the scene just outside of the

city of lorissa, searching for passengers who may still be trapped in the wreckage. local media reporting the accident happens near the entrance to the tunnel several calls derailed and some of them caught fire. johnson helpless has more for me. if i fill in grief, it appears that a no bound passenger train collided, head on with a south bound freight train seriously in an area where double track has been built. the athens to the cello nicky stretch that these 2 trains were traveling on, which is the country's main line does not have double tracts to route 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 of the infrastructure remains the competence of the greek state. so they were the ones responsible for getting this material up and running. aah

humana tarion 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 needs that were brought on by 12 years of civil war. that campaign is so far, severely underfunded. both still had hail and l just returning home up to decades of food sudanese refugees, begin to rebuild. i live in north doleful with hopes of a better future. and we look into why the challenge of sustainability on every company's agenda at this year's mobile world congress. ah

well is marginal improvement in the stormy weather in the western bed, but if you're in the barracks but the storm is still revolving, as you say, most definitely the worst weather in europe at the moment of a good part of european in the sunny showing it's not particularly warm the in someplace. it's been more than normal. for example, in scandinavia, but kelly's son is dominant here. but it's not if you are though in new york or it's better in corsica, this is the picture of snow. and yes, it's still blowing a near gale that is west apartments rain with cost consulting here in it, but the sun is out for good. many. well for all the valley, eric adams and most to spain and portugal, the still cold in the north of spain. if you follow that line, the rain is going to spread through italy in passed through the balkan states and greece, but not particularly heavy. we're seeing the decline this stormy weather. but if

you're in or larger, you're not gonna enjoy it very much. anyway, this big picture on thursday extends again to european plains, still being settled still being at least bright, if not sunny and not in the least bit windy for the most part. and the wind is east hamilton when the season is wind as east through north africa as well. so that we got rain in the north and rain in the south in between is warm sunshine. ah, with join the debate, the you know that the sector seems empowered by the government and stained by the government today they are the government africans how security is also global. help security on it or online at your voice. there is no right to defense. there is no right to protest, we can't just keep relying on aid. there has to be some work toward a sustainable economy. at the end of the day, it is ordinary objects that are paying the price. this analogy

the sullivan java has more from moscow. this was once a busy wiper and sitting with cultural buildings like this famous drama theater, now damaged and peppered with bullets and bomb fragments. russian forces won the battle from opal after more than 18 days of intense fighting. and now they want the people of the city to move on from the scars afore to rehabilitation. by 2025, the city should be rebuilt according to moscow's more your pl reconstruction master plan. it wants the population here to go to half a 1000000 people in the next decade, by rehabilitating a 1000000 square meters of social buildings. the russian state plans to find a complete replacement of the city facilities, including a railway station, a port tram lines, and the airport well, rational different definitely. it's right to take this territory into organized new life. there was russian authorities also hold that ukraine. political vision would

collapse, told probably before the miscalculation as it was a necessity to make of this plan. but one can imagine that if you have this long, prolonged or long time conflict that people could live safely, there just was not possible to imagine. according to a new law passed by russia state, duma, people in antics regions of ukraine will have the same benefits as russian citizens . the legislation aims to provide free medical care, pensions, and benefits. piece by piece, people are trying to rebuild their lives. what we, what we are going to redevelop, we want to live free as our grandfather's grandmothers and relatives used to live in our free territory, where no one was shooters tell us what to do and force us to speak another language, a few 100 apartments and homes have been rebuilt in the city, where only a 5th of the population is left slowly, basic services such as water and electricity returning. we don't very of my house burned down on the left bank near the sea. it was at com, someone boulevard,

china full. brendan reports though from paris. after decades of colonialism and neo colonialism, it was francis withdrawal from marley last year and burkina faso this year, which unfortunately confirmed the shifting geo politics. in central africa, french troops were forced to leave. and the military genta in each of those countries opted for a new alliance with russia in the form of the mercenary wagner group. president macklin openly admits that mistakes were made in molly and his foreign nation tour of central africa will sell a more cooperative vision with host nations. cultural, scientific and educational partnerships and military bases, where the french troops operate as partners rather than commanders. now, how can you get somebody will get with zillow? the reorganization is not meant to be a retreat or a disengagement. it will materials through an african, his asian or mutual operation of these big basis general dominates franken is the former head of the french military mission at the united nations. he agrees the

importance of france dank militarily engaged in the region. we have to have small teams or pipe, for example, to help this african country. this is exactly the case in jail, for example, where the parliament arcs, the french forces to stay and to fight in support of noon. joe, in forces. that's probably the case also in chad where we've got a big airbase in central africa itself. some see the rejection of french influences understandable, but nonetheless, alarming and irrational. yes, there is anger about european near colonialism. however, the alliance is being offered by china and russia bring their own issues it, wes, in her world has it views, is position is, was it, you know, don't, don't be nation is bad. you because very, are in our history because when people are not rational anymore, like now we just have 11, or we want to get rid of france. want to keep,

get rid of the old system actually. and not realizing that it, what is the head is not probably better that one be at running away from president micron and box on this. so admitting that for too long, francis regarded africa with what he described does the logic of rent. his new vision is to offer a more mutually beneficial partnership, but he faces an uphill task to turn around that wave of anti french sentiment, pull brennan, i'll just 0 paris. the refugees displaced by the war in dull for 20 years ago. finally returning home. the war forced more than 2000000 people from their homes, and those who fled to neighboring towns, se conditions in camps there, pushing them back, but returning to the country has not been easy. as alger 0. have a morgan reports now from north awful. and this little village of the into dance

north star for state zayna mohammed is rebuilding her life. a former refugee who fled to kat during the early years of the dar for she says tough conditions in the camp across the border made her and her family decide to return to the region. i had my there was little food being given there. there were water shorter just so we came back here, we can farm and feed ourselves. and so what remains to get an income? we're now fixing the house so we don't go back to the camps. it's not much but stable. zayna and her family are some of more than 100000 refugees who have returned from chad in the past 5 years. more than 2000000 people were displeased by the war and therefore, which thought that in 2003 hundreds of thousands of those cross the border into neighboring chad. while some people have returned to their villages or built new ones, settling in can be difficult. 900000 people were displaced by violence between communities last year alone. most had previously been displaced by the war and in other areas.

tough economic conditions have forced people back into displacement camps. not all those who return settle permanently. the reminders of the war are still visible in tina homes that have been bombarded by government forces chasing rebel fighters remain untouched in the last 20 years. a few miles away is the border crossing that refugees used to flee from here. xena to go use the daily to move from the camps to tina and back mother, you know like my son goes to school when i worked some money to feed my family. i come every morning and return to the camp in chad. the end of every day, but my old home has been destroyed and i can't rebuild it. so i can't return and settle here. the u. s. refugee agency says long term responses if necessary for those who returned. and for those still in camps to come back home, we have to look to new approaches that can try to address a more complex series of durable solutions, whereby we help to increase resilience,

creat livelihoods, rebuild social services, and encourage social cohesion, peaceful coexistence. dana says she knows her life won't be like it was before the war, but she says as long as there is no fighting, she'll stay in the village and try to build a future for her and her family. he been, morgan argues 0 tina north star for the sustainability is all, maybe every company's agenda, the move all well congress in barcelona, but with around one and a half 1000000000 neetha and sold each year. the industry is facing an enormous challenge. charlie angela has more from barcelona. it's the desire for the latest model that drives the mobile phone industry. but after an average of 2 to 3 years, use 90 percent of these hands that won't be formally recycled. one can open the phone like a book or companies are now being forced to find a sustainable future of phones. nokia is encouraging customers to repair and recycle their devices, people in the industry, se giving handset 2nd and 3rd lives is crucial. and the industry about

$1500000000.00 devices will come into the market every single year. and this year, over $5000000.00 devices are going to end up in landfill or in florida. and that is a real problem because that just means we're going to continue to make more and more devices. ultimately today, only 10 to 15 percent of a new device fail is accompanied by a traded in device. and that's just too low. these 80 phones have been waived into an abstract demonstrating the potential of the economy because like spending the life both smart phones in the world by just one year, we could reduce carbon emissions by 20000000 tons. that's the equivalent of taking 4700000 cars off the road. reducing emissions source is a more accepted goal in the industry, with a commitment to reach net 0 by 2050. some companies already on track to reach 100 percent renewable energy years before then. others a lagging behind,

still refusing to disclose that carbon emissions output net 0 without t ahead of any of the g 7 economy. and we have been helping our members on the climate disclosure. there is a global reporting platform for this, the cdp times in the last year. $67.00 of our members reported to the cdp and this actually covers 80 percent of the industry. revenue for the industry believes it can make an even bigger contribution to climb action through digitization. here teams a brainstorming, a solution, put a challenge on the day as how my really satisfied the food and water demands of an urban area in a sustainable way from post it to poto type, using tech to solve the problem with a tight self imposed deadline, the sense of urgency helps drive momentum, a similar urgency for actual climate goals and sustainability could be encouraged

to the lowest point since scientists started counting them in the ninety's. ah, not to sir. you're martinez is in son 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 ecosystem science program. i asked him why the drop . i am phenomenal. they are my and syndrome and eliana felucca. there is a phenomenon called the skinny whale in which you start seeing that their body condition is getting worse is getting thinner and because they're not getting enough food. and from the middle of 2018, the phenomenon started happening, although it peaked in 2020. when 30 percent of the whales were in that conditional mental. the whales feeding the optic on shrimp like creatures could empty poets that they dig for in the mud. the indications are that the supplies running log 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 way numbers. scientists believe that there is

a natural top out point in the number of grey wales of our ecosystem can support when they reach that point. the number goes down and then it starts climbing again back in the labs. and so he says he's cautiously confident it will happen again. this time the new numbers his team are coming up with by up season process, i think because it is a cyclical process. now that's our hope we've seen it happen before and you know, it won't keep going down. oh, there is an unknown fact to here in problem my escape. but the 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. there were a lot of people in the human ecosystem of sun ignacio lagoon who depend on the whales to holiday. his use is one of those who have tours and businesses here. they to a tried the best to protect the animal, applying their own rules, limiting the amount of way, watching boats on the lagoon, and the time they can spend around the wells, so as not to spook them all their calls. for example, us in my house like pipe person's paying 25.

how we are going through. so mike is the thank you, he's gone i, we need to preserve, he's one. the clients have come from a fall just to see them up close. like ingrid, we've got the chance to touch one. i said, i don't think i've ever had anything quite like that. and it came after 5 minutes of watching my mother well with her newborn baby, which was just tremendously joyful, be profound. i am so grateful. it was, it was absolutely amazing from tourists to go. it's to researches, there's a natural thrilled that we saw every one on miss lagoon getting from these huge friendly animals and all of them a hoping that may long continue. john holman, al jazeera, some ignacio mexico ah your challenges here with me.
