a thank you for joining us. we begin this news hour in nigeria where the new president likes ball latino boy is defending the integrity of the vote. after the main opposition party said it was fraudulent to noble who's from the governing. all progressive congress is urging citizens to unite around him. the nigerian independent national electoral commission says tenable got nearly 8800000 votes. that's about 2000000 more than his nearest rival opposition parties had earlier called for saturdays, paul to be cancelled describing the process as a shop a it is wrong, though we're both really good. we want to labor so paunch

again. we're more long for the unity upper burner hub warden. let's go to amity trees. who's in a boucher for his so i made after long delayed announcing these results to new boe has been declared. the winner by the opposition rejecting this decision. tell us about what's been happening in the last he hours and the different reactions in nigeria, whether basically it fully right now. the opposition is in a meeting to put the united as 10 on the declaration by the election commission. regarding mr. bhalla, i'm at unit will as when i or calling mr. what i mentioned it was when in this election, i spoke with the chairman of one of the main opposition parties, disputing the results or the outcome of this election,

or the chairman of the labor party, who said they will go to court to reclaim the mandate. he said the process was flawed, deeply flawed, and that they don't accept the result. and i to and asked him specifically whether he, they believe that when they go to the course, they will get there. they get go and get justice. he said, the judiciary said lots of the common man, but going by the history of election or election tribunals or election petitions in this country. they don't see that happening at the moment, but they're hopeful that at the end of the day the judges will agree with them. now on the streets of nigeria, everything is calm. it's looking calm. you find nigerians in groups discussing the outcome of this election. some people are happy, others are not, and there is a cautious optimism about this. a lot of businesses in such an area is not open. hearing that today when the results are declared, then probably they could be something happening on the streets. ballast,

for example, and security is a bit normal on the streets of buddha, for example. but again, traffic is very, very big. so the opposition, you say is meeting right now to decide on the next move and what we can expect from them. what about the conduct of the vote army to how has it been judged by election? observe is because they were issues with pulling stations, opening late issues with people reportedly being attacked at pulling stations. what are independent collection observers saying about the conduct of default? well, the preliminary reports by the independent observers or independent election observers show that voting started late in many parts of this country. and there was cases, pockets of banners across the country, both in the north and south of the country. what we are waiting for right now is that results or the final report regarding the conduct of the election. now the

biggest thing in contention here is the use or lack of use of the a bio model voter accreditation system. it's a device which recognizes phases, registers of water and then automatically when it's connected to the fence signals that this particular individual has voted in an election. now, what is there on the server is what officious of the election commission will look at and to see whether they match the number of votes they're receiving on the manual registration report model for to sheets. so the, when the election commission started and also the results of this election from the fos case that was being in the opposition stood firm and said that the process is flowed and there will not agree to any result that was announced without 1st seeing the number of people accredited as all pulling stations across the country. and

that will guide them as to whether or not the result seeing on the report shit. exactly. tallying with the number of people who voted at the polling station. so that's the main point of contention. but unless, you know, officials are insistent that that system, that technology is to aid the process of verifying the number of voters who took part in the election. and totally also with the result that they get at the end of the day. now the election commission insisted that it will go ahead with this process, the opposition said no, you can go ahead with this process until we have this in place. but all the same at the end of the day, the election commission went ahead and compiled this with some political party as present. others have decided to boycott the presentation itself. and that's what is the main you meant between the election commission and opposition. politicians at the moment. so basically what we're hearing from them, if they are going to take this matter to the court and the court will decide

whether or not they want to right or wrong. we expect the next process to be starting in the, in that in the next 2 weeks. now, right now, what's happening and probably in less than an hour, the declared winner of this election, the president elect bush. i. michel was presented to such certificate of return, which indicates that the election commission recognizes him as the winner of this election. now, what the international observers will say or do is what we expect to hear in the next one or 2 days. we understand right now they too are trying to compile the number, the compiled reports on various parts of the country, from the monitors in those parts of the country. and then to issue that statement regarding this already the president of niger has come, congratulated his success at ball and after the election. thank you for that. i may decrease on corresponding in nigeria, boudreau and we'll have a little later in the news. our more on the outcome of the nigerian election in

other words and use now these really ami says it has retained to palestinians. it accuses of killing and israeli american on monday that were held after israeli forces rated the acrobat job or a refugee camp in the occupied west bank. just a short while ago palestinian medic say there were multiple injuries during the confrontation of violence has been escalating across the occupied territory in recent days. go live to neither abraham who's on her way now to jericho in the occupied west bank, where those majors confrontations happen to nita, as we've said, tensions have been extremely high in the west bank in these last few days. tell us about what you're hearing about the situation in jericho 1st. oh, well we've heard that the undercover israeli forces have rated the bit double refugee camp in jericho. they've surrounded one house off those inside this to surrender themselves when they didn't. according to witnesses, there was an exchange fire between these ready forces and the people who were the

beer. now, according to medic's, we've spoken to they were treating one of those who were injured a guy who was injured in the abdomen. when there's really forces asked the paramedics to stop doing any cpr, and they snatched a person with them and his health condition is still on confirmed. now according to the palestinians, they say that 6 palestinians wit, arrested from inside that house. some of them are brothers and one of them is a son of another palestinian. so it's a tense situation there. and let's not forget that it. on monday, there was an attack against the, as ray, the american, and according to these really forces they say they've arrested or at least the minister of defense to ethan, that they've arrested people who are in affiliation or have to do with the killing of these rated americans, now that attack happened in a place with a close to where we are just

a few kilometers down this road. i'm going to show you just to give you an idea of the area. this is on our way to jericho, which has been under a blockade for a couple of days since that attack on monday. if you can see there, there is an illegal rainy settlement and, and i'm sure you see that they have to, they have road the infrastructure. so this is hard to all of the attacks that palestinians have been carrying out here in the occupied west bank on settlements on settlers because they say that not only do they feel fed up over years and years of military occupation, but also they've been witnessing an uptick in the israeli. a settler violence that has been taking place in the occupied westbank. what's been the political response, nita? well the palestinian authority has joined the summits on sunday that was under the auspices of the americans and jordan with egyptian jer jer,

damien officials on his radio officials. and they were saying that they're looking towards the g escalation. we've heard that interview by the piano's a secretary. janet are in a share saying that the meeting was political, security, and economic. when in fact, palestinians would tell you that they know it was a security meeting, and they say that palestinians are not just looking to secure the israeli occupation. they want basic political steps that with and the occupation. so there is a lot of anger in the streets. we've seen the palestinian prime minister from which they visit for water, a place where settlers went and burnt cars and houses and shops of palestinians and killed one palestinian leads on a sunday. so palestinians would tell you that these visits are not enough that people feel that they are left alone dealing with these really military, these really army, these ready forces, and also increasing violence of israeli settlers needed. thank you for that. i did

meet abraham, repeating their life from the occupied west bank on her way to jericho. now meanwhile, hundreds of people are rallying across israel, protesting against prime minister benjamin netanyahu was planned judicial reforms. oh, major rhodes oblong tend organizes have called for a national day of disruption. the proposed changes would limit the power of the supreme court while giving great powers to the government. critics call it on democratic than to moorhead on this al jazeera and use our including. i look at life inside russian onyx mario pole in ukraine after a devastating months long siege and in sport action from the b as a milwaukee box. when again, that's coming up later with ah,

to to key is frankly shipped. hyper tuan has said presidential and parliamentary elections will be held on may 14th earlier than the scheduled dated june. the vote will follow last month, devastating earthquakes that kills more than 45000 people in turkey and 5000 others in syria. let's go straight to cynical seal noisy, non cra fours seen in person or to want had planned to move the election date forward before last month's devastating earthquakes. and he still wants the elections held in may despite the disaster. well yes, let me begin by saying that this is not an early election full. as you said, prisons are dawn has asked for this before the earthquake happened, as the official date of the election is set for june 18. he's been claiming that this is a time when it took his citizens, a goal to holidays, and it's the time when the schools are closed. that's why it would be better to

move forward and may 14 is the best according to their evaluations. of course, there were reactions from the opposition to this request, but after the earthquake happened to we heard some circle, especially from the federal government side that asked for was supporting the election for one year, which is not possible in to keep it. because according to the constitution and no one election can to postpone unless it is the time of war. so we're expecting the higher election more to and now. so officials date as may 40 on march 10 and within 60 days should kid need to go to a need to finish this this election. but the, so this will be a very challenging one full day because there is quite effective 11 cities. we're talking about 14000000, some experts, so just nearly half of those people have been displaced. so logistics wise,

it'll be a difficult task for the higher election board despite they say that they can do it, because we don't know where those people are going to vote. where are going to be the ballot boxes. some people suggest that the voting should be online, which is not very secure to some other critics. so this is a challenging one. but for turkish president jeff taper the, the most important thing is to provide shelter for his citizens in the region. he has been admitting, acknowledging that the government has been late and were schools and a he said he will be doing his best to complete the necessary housing within a year. but of course people have most people lost relatives. people lost money houses. that's why we spoke to some turkish people who are sticking for their legal rights. let's watch in our newspaper. these trucks return again and again to dump the wreckage of thousands of buildings that collapsed after devastating earthquakes hit southern turkey over 3 weeks ago. in the rubble ly

irreplaceable memories and possibly the life savings of people who lost their lives . monitor kesh people keep cash and gold at home because they don't trust banks. taya is a lawyer from hud site. one of the worst hit cities. now she is in a capital anchor with her counterparts chasing jestice after losing her grandmother and aunt will not on the phone. we are preparing a lawsuit against the ministry of environment, an advantage zation as well as municipalities because the buildings were so old. we've already begun preparing to follow material and moral compensation claims with the judiciary investigations into the 10s of thousands last last and almost 200000 buildings damaged or destroyed. have been launched by the people who been affected . what compensation and reserve the right to sue. not only contractors, but also inspectors and public officials. but the legal system flows slowly

intricate, and the number of the cases are massive with an audible look system in the parliament, me and stood work on a mediation solution that would keep time meat minds and compensate losses. without spending ears said the coach bob students must definitely have legal representation during the settlement or how much resumes participation in the judiciary is crucial . given the size of the damage caused by the powerful earthquake and the whose death toll many of the leave, the court cases could take years. the government acknowledges that some of its laws and legal procedures made to be changed were updated to reflect the reality on the ground. seen anchor solo al jazeera on clara on it. i'll speak to tyke august, lew. he is a professor of political science and international relations that he's stumble, 18 university, and he's joining us. vice came from his stumble. thank you very much for being with us. so it was thought that the, the disaster would force perhaps a delay in the elections,

but the may date it looks like is going to be maintained. why, why do you think presenter to on wants to bring this election forward? i think the election date may 14th had already been decided before that the government gear kind of struck promised to it's elementary. it's on the constitutes and opposition. on the measure to talk to donors, people have all the ball this idea. so it would have been commenting, see, sorry, for the government to perform the elections increase for 3 months or me before one year because the longer a good time to elections less the much severe the economy or other kinds of consequences to arise in today's life of the people, so in the short period of time, it's really quite clearly that the government will provide shutter, an emergency aid to the people. and i think the government has quite commitment to provide such kind of how good area, right. but, but i mean, it's one key, one thing to keep

a promise to hold the election in may as he had. but his cherokee, today in a position to hold this election, how feasible is it? it's going to be challenging, logistically, because people are still not living in their homes. they are living in tents, as you've said yourself. there are some provinces, some cities that are still under emergency measures. how do you hold an election in this context? a dichotomy agreed to its go go, going to be a quite problem ethical to organize a counter why the election, especially this particular job difficult location due to some technical problems. i admit such kind of things, but we don't need to forget the fact that full decal leaders page into a car. most of the time, short term political calculations for the government could provide exist shelter, an emergency aid to the people in the next 2 months. by the time we have the elections, he cannot provide something more than debt. but if he postpone the elections, it is for one year, the people who feel the negative consequences of the election is much more severely

. and this might somehow break why this might produce some negative consequences for the government itself. and thinking of back firing for simple calculus. yeah, i understand what you mean there and speaking of calculations, it's a big gamble though, isn't it for present at the one given the d. p sent it, there is an over the government handling all of the disaster and it's initial response. this is a big gamble, is me. it is a very big gamble in the but the should not forget the fact that the opposition people has denied cuts the or behind this idea, the idea that the election should be has on time. and the majority of the people have this kind of expectation. the election should have all time, so it's gonna be quite risky for the government to postpone daily. just because this time the people of the city might come to the conclusion that there is something that the governments peeves allots of giving the impression that the government is fearful of some potential consequences of the upcoming elections at

this might produce much worse political outcomes for the governance or so risky for the government to delay the election, but also risky for the government to hold the election because of the discontent. do you think the opposition has been able and will be able to capitalize on this? i think i'm a, let my see about this because the co position circles have not decided they have a candidate yet. and so if they have to declare the presidential candidate in the next. busy one or 2 weeks most probably, and the government might have calculated that the sooner the elections are had much higher than the mountain, the high and the electoral, the chances of the electoral victory. so this might be another, a conditional departure from the part of the ruling authorities to have the elections of time to quote the death will give less time to opposition circles to organize. i kind of strong election campaign in that particular region. is that

because by the time they have their next is the government to be can in the area nation of this, the action partly and other the house support of the bar. people stay. ringback in that particular region and do whatever they could to give the image that the state is here, the state is taking care of your be any emergency needs that like this one and the kind of things they, they could add, she is in, in the next 2 months not very long. yeah. okay. grades up, but a lot of it thought the my for some negative goes to a lot of uncertainties and a lot of questions. very interesting to talk to you about this topic overflow professor of political science. any national relations that he stumble, 18 university. thank you for joining us on out is isolation by bush. why more than 3 weeks after those 7 stating earthquakes? many people are still living intense in turkey. let's go live to terry. suppose in lie here in guys. he entire province, one of the worst effected areas in turkey. tell us about the situation where you are teresa, and how people are coping 3 weeks on well,

i am here in a container city and here in the province i've got to enter. the city was devastated by the earthquake and now people just like in many other parts of the country are leaving intense or in containers. cities like they want. i am right now when talking about the election, who were talking to some people about them. and this fact several debates about people being happy or unhappy about the government's response with lots of criticism about the handling of the aftermath of the earth wake right after that. and some people were debating somewhat happy. others were not. and suddenly that's something that's something that's being discussed even in places like this one. but i have to tell you quite so pricing. how organized this please. so you can see right behind me, for example, there's been a market set top, a place for people to get coat. there is a hair dresser. there's a school, a pharmacy, among many other things,

for people to tend to the most basic needs. there at least 3000 people living in containers in this part of the country. we've been talking to several of them. they're telling us that they're very happy to have a place to live, to have a place to keep. but all of them want to know when the be able to go back to home to own home. once again, that takes us. so the whole rebuilding process a process that is going to be very, very expensive. the world bank gets the major is going to be around $34000000000.00 this country struggling with inflation evaluation of the currency. so it is going to be a big challenge for the government or wrong. we 1000000 people have left the area affected by the earthquake. they have gone to their relatives or so their house has houses of the rela pins or to some villages, but president or the one is asking people not will leave permanently have been promising them that there's going to be a rebuilding process that it's going to be fact promising to build over $300000.00

homes in one year, telling them that they're talking to architects who are been planners to engineers so they can carry out this whole process. so, but still on the ground, in spite of the organization that you can see in places like them, there's lots of hardships in many places where people are leaving in 10 cent. almost everyone wants to know when they'll be able to go back to their home. teresa, thank you very much for that to resubmit reporting their life from guys. the untapped been 17 in greece. prime minister, caveat calls me subtract, he says visited the site of the worst rain accident in the country's history. at least 36 people died when a congo train and a passenger train collided on tuesday night. the government has declared 3 days of national morning. the station master in the nearby city of larissa has been arrested in 2 others have been detained for questioning. our thoughts today of 1st and foremost with the relatives of the victims,

our obligations to treat the injured and after that to identify the bodies. beyond that, i can guarantee one thing we will find out what the causes of this tragedy were and do everything in our power to make sure it never happens again. out of here is stephanie deca has more on the disaster. it was dark when the 2 trains collided had on at high speed. or but i'm a gullow bomb, oklahoma. we heard a big bang 10 nightmarish seconds. we were turning over in the wagon until we fell on our sides and until the commotion stopped, there was panic. cables, fire, the fire was immediate. as we returning over, we were being burned. fire was right and left greek rescue workers or at the accident site and searching for survivors. those who made it out, we're still coming to terms with what happened. kudos to guide on her tomorrow. people naturally were scared, was very scared dutch. they were looking around searching so they didn't know where they were. on our logo, one was a passenger train carrying around 350 people. it departed athens around 7 30 in the

evening, traveling to their salo nikki. the collision happened with a cargo train outside the city of larissa in central greece. the cause of the crash remains unclear. stephanie decker, i'll g 0. the war in ukraine now, in months after russia destroyed large parts of mary, a pole in one of the bloodiest battles of the conflicts. moscow has promised to rebuild. the city is in a region that was annexed by russia in september, osama bin geometry for some moscow. this was once a busy wiper city, with cultural buildings like this famous drama theatre, now damaged and peppered with bullets and bomb fragments. russian forces won the battle for more your pl, after more than 80 days of intense fighting. and now they want the people of the city to move on from the skulls of war 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 con, a complete replacement of the cities facilities, including a railway station, a port tram lines, and the airport well, rush a different, the different. it's right to take this territory into organized new life. there was russian authorities also hold that ukraine, a political asian would collect, sold 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 long time conflict that people could lift safely, there just was not possible to imagine. according to a new law passed by russia state, duma, people in the annex 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 develop, we want to live free as our grandfathers,

grandmothers and relatives used to live in our free territory where no one was shooters tell us what to do. and for 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 are returning. and we do very of my house burned down on the left bank near the sea. it was that comes from all boulevard about 50 meters from the ceiling . and my son took us to his house so we can live with him and his family don. yes, the parisha and her son were to buy russia in september in what preston power is called a shop referendum was to it and says that people chose their right to self determination . this mike rest in condemnation. but for the hundreds of thousands of people in these territories, any help to rebuild their lives in welcome. if there is no more fighting here, will take years to remove the scars afore from the city of mario pal. before the

families of the thousands of people killed in these territories, no number of new buildings or benefits can replace their loss. some of a job done to 0 moscow time now for the wintry, whether he has rom, there has been too much snow in california. hard to imagine that in mountain resorts. ski resorts has been too much for the has stated emergency. this is a san bernardino man is not exactly how i mounted and in contrast to what's going on throughout california, you still got reco, breaking high temperatures in the southern states, louisiana, mississippi and alabama. for example. no reason why that should change or that contrast continues. the cloud is coming across the high ground, spread across the plains and go towards the northeast, leaving this bottom right hand corner, relatively speaking warm. so it's a bit of a mess. this picture will not concentrate on the detail walk show you the obvious stuff and it's what's happening down here anywhere from california through nevada. and in the fall corner state strong winds taking the cold air south was heavy,

rain or snow and snow has been the major problem. but in some ways, as a blessing, because this snow once fallen will give most of the summer's irrigation water to california. so silver linings. anyway, the snow stops falling during thursday for a large part. it's still cold, but the sun is out and you'll see her pretty than looks. but of course, it also means as cold as for across the plane states in the got a storm system to develop, to watch out for tornadoes. thank you, rob, still ahead on the use. our lebanon's last history. white fees have made off with some of the countries digital archives. millions in the united states are said to lose government health with their food bail offending sport. we hear from novak joplin, chanty, came through a tricky opening match in dubai. hm

. every 3 days, a woman is kinda in the murder of women and unprecedented levels of domestic violence. have shocked italy to the call. the violence is more violent, violent men are younger. why does it keep happening? and what can be done to stop it? this is not deprived, i want my daughter and all the daughters to pay, that's not the country i want to witness. famous studio for me is very simply a question of power on al jazeera. when the news breaks, families still have, or they say they want to be without getting their relatives out of the problem. when people need to be heard. and the story told my dad and water everywhere, we are left without anything to keep us warm with exclusive interviews and in depth reports on the shelving doors, here are precious thought. the same specimen, al jazeera, has t's on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and live news.

lou. ah, you're watching the news. our on al jazeera with me for you by tivo, our reminder of our top stories. these really ami has rated the aka bed a job or a refugee campaign occupied westbank and detained to palestinians. it accuses of killing and he's really american. on monday palestinian medic say there were multiple injuries during the rate turkish prison, reshape typo on has said presidential and parliamentary elections will be held on may 14th earlier than the scheduled date in june. the vote will follow last month's devastating earthquakes that killed more than 45000 people in turkey alone. an idea

is governing party candidates, ball, latino who has been declared the winner of saturdays presidential election. the opposition name party has announced it will mount a legal challenge over the result. after calling the process a shop. while i speak to ali mohammed ali about this, his immediate adviser on the election campaign for the ruling. all progressive congress, already the apc and is joining us from boucher. thank you for your time, sir. so as you've heard the opposition has said it won't accept the result of the presidential vote. they've been meeting, they're considering their next move, which could lead to a legal challenge of these results. what is your reaction 1st to that? well, we were not surprised that taken that wrote, but we had to wish that they were not too bad wrote because the election was conducted ah, free unfair. as far as we can see, the election was

a conductor free, unfair. but if this is the one to go that route, we will come them lead middle and caught her is an election that manager and spoke and fight to kelly. and they chose the leader of the president elect, who had just been declared early in the early hours of to be i. so what we're not surprised to have taken that route can came to say the election sir, will be later than taken to the streets. can we say that the election was really free and fair when they have been so many reports of irregularities have been reports of delays. they have been reports of voters being attacked at polling stations. also, the opposition's main concern is that the results not being transmitted electronically to the independent electoral commissions website as it was planned. do you understand these concerns? so wish certainly we understand so of this concerns. we also wish that

a b a lecture result were transmitted in real time. why were they not transmitted in real time? does and is i think the electoral body a splint bell. there were glitches in the v was the by magical verification. when the mission, there were glitches they asked plain, but the reason why they were not trans muted electronically, but in any way that has not invalidated the results. because what the said, the electro empire, a splint is that the ever poly units result would be computed. and then the edges were such a fight that this is the authentic result and pixels will be taken on all the edges in all virtually the polling in is where our grid on that but the result declared

of the pulling units away genuine. and the only problem according to the electro, but there was that there were glitches in the, in the v was. but how do we know that when we, when do you say that when we only have to take your right for it? we say that they were genuine, but we, we then take your word for it because as you know, the, the, the opposition has accused the ruling party of actually concluding with election officials. and that's why the results were in transmitted ah, i to the or website of the independent electoral commission. when he respond to that accusation of collusion with the i neck. well, in all the history of ledgers election, every election cycle, the loses, invariably, almost always without change, without her variation, the which i linked the word and says, but they lost because they've been, quote,

unquote rigged out. so this is not different and the days leading to the election, this was one of the most challenging election we've had because the election campaign itself was along some of the well if you like some of the biz aah on the lane division that are captured the danger in a state, the divisions where saw ah pronounce in the days leading to the election, there were people who thought rightly that they were going to win this election. they have already some of them well prime to face what their face. and now her rejection by the put by the nigerian people because they have no really plan to, they're not what had the way we've walked out. reaching out to ever a nook and cranny of the nigerian people engage in nigeria as frank to support us to give up their vote. but those who were very lazy in doing
