nations, enter kia is set to expire on saturday. and there is a lot at stake, both at home and abroad, which i know and oh that a great deal gave us hope because our internal price is dropped almost 3 full during the winter. but afterwards, sign ward prices rose immune and of course not like before the war, but they increased. this gave us hope that we can work and sell our harvest in the future war dollars. despite his deceivingly peaceful moment. this is a country at war. and what happens in these fields has global implications. ukraine is one of the world largest produces and sunflower oil, and also wheat and grain one gets produced here an export. it has a direct effect on food prices. around the world. is one of the main reasons why this deal was brokered, the global need to bring down soaring food prices that resulted because of the war . russia controls access in and out of the black sea,

which ukraine needs to ship. it's produced to the rest of the world. the deal is said to be renewed every 4 months. russia now says it only wants to renew it for 2 citing sanctions affecting its own exports. but ukraine's deputy had of infrastructure who's been part of the team negotiating the grain deal, tells us such a short term deal does not offer stability. what is important to the farmers to see there for a ghost? ah, how they will export their products unit. next, marketing gear. i go sir, and in case on the farmers for see you and for masses, offer me as j. it is also small period. we are asked our partners to make minimum one year. farmers have also complained of russia delaying checks on vessels transporting, produce, which costs more money had moved from his name or sure, yet, we know russia wanted to only extend for 2 months. but this is not as it should be . also the vessels that go to ukraine are delayed by russia in the bathroom,

and we end up paying for this because the vessels don't reach us on time horribly. currently, the western border with poland is working, but we cannot fully sell the grain that we have by road. so we need to see the journey out has begun. russia holds great leverage in just how far they will reach . such tiny seeds and grains with major geopolitical implications. stephanie decker al jazeera, yet kavitsky on the outskirts of keith. nigerians will return to polls within the hour to elect new governors in $28.00 out of $36.00 states. new state assemblies will also be elected. this vote has been delayed by a week. the electoral commission said i needed time to reconfigure the electronic voting machines following a disputed presidential election in february. i the denise is joining us now from cano. so my, how significant is this election? ah,

what basically the election is important because it's closer to the voter. this is we talking about the election of a governor and representatives of the state level. people expect the turn out today to be higher than what it was 3 weeks ago when the presidential and part national parliament election. why held, then we had less than 30 percent participation of the populace. and because of the dispute are regarding that particular election and lot of people want to show their anger. and a lot of people who feel that some of them are percentages are failed to represent them better well, in parliament or at the state level. they want to use this opportunity to punish those representatives, and that's why a lot of people are expected to turn out to be higher to date than it was 3 weeks ago when the presidential election and national parliament elections. why held? now today, like you said in the introduction, we are going to witness the election of only 2 categories of governance in $28.00

states as well as up thousands of people running. busy for parliament at the state level, we're looking at $950.00 something seats at the state level in the various state assemblies. why these people are expected to go and represent their local communities in parliament state parliament. now, what is happening right now here in this center, this center kicked us for more than 36 calling units. and what you see right behind me is a process of distributing voting material to the various units here in quiet and the opening of the pooling units. or opening of watching itself is just less than 25 minutes away. and already people are queued up waiting for these officials to start the process of a credit in them, as well as given them the bulk paper so that they can cast their ballots. let's move now to some of the falling units that are,

are sort of organized here by the electoral officials. what you see here is one of the boxes for governor. this particular one is monk for governor and the other one is. busy for representatives of the state level, these officials are the ones who are going to credit the voters. this is one of the machines that was in contention during the presidential and national assembly elections. it's called the beavers is by more dull voter verification system that is used to capture the image of war to some to verify whether the voter is the person who it says, who says he is because there is a registration exercise that was our registration exercise. why the details and up the, the, the, the bad metrics of every voter that's been captured. we're talking about 87000000 people who collected those ra voters cut. now, this is what they're going to do. after this verification exercise. they move there

to be given the pile of papers and then they will cast their ballots in sight this ballot boxes. and that's what we expect to see across nigeria. in $28.00 states, i included went without the federal capital territory. 6 other states are not going to have their elections because of the psychedelic estimate as it is. thank you so much for that update from cono in nigeria. us markets wrapped up the we clothing under a sea of red, pushed down by banking stocks on friday. so shares and 1st republic bank closed down nearly 33 percent of the spite and injection of cash worth $30000000000.00. european stocks also ended the weak down us president joe biden, once congress to impose tougher punishments on bank executives. as he tries to reassure the public following the collapse of silicon valley bank. and then the parents company of silicon valley bank has filed for bankruptcy protection with much of the tech focus company already under the control of regulators. it comes

a week after a surge of withdrawals triggered the worst bank collapse since the 2008 financial crisis. gabrielle is on tow, not more from the new york stock exchange. it was another tough day on wall street, as all of the major indices were in the red and down throughout the entire day. any of the gains that were made on thursday were wiped out on friday, but the market is also giving very mixed signals as we enter this next phase of the u. s. banking crisis. in some ways, we're seeing the markets very much down. but for the week, the market has been quite resilient. for example, the s and p down 1.2 percent on friday. but for the week up over one percent. the nasdaq down a little under one percent on friday, but for the week up 4 percent. and we saw the same with the dow jones industrial average down 1.4 percent on friday, up

a little over 0.4 percent for the week. so we're really getting a lot of these mixed signals and are getting a sense, you really don't know how the market should be reacting to this banking crisis. it's clear that this is top of mind here on wall street now, but it's really a sense of will this crisis be contained to the regional banks as what we've seen for the last week or so? or will it spread beyond that to larger banks, which could cause a much bigger banking crisis and what we're seeing now, and of course, spread even further internationally. according to one trader, it's almost like the market doesn't know how to react right now. they're kind of like a deer stuck in the headlights, as the old saying goes just sort of frozen. and that's what we saw while with the markets on friday. there wasn't a lot of selling, wasn't a lot of buying. it was just sort of frozen in time,

so to speak. now 1st republic bank, one of the banks sits at the center of all this down 32 percent. it's lost about 70 percent of its value for the week. and that's after $30000000000.00 aid package was promised to the bank trying to stabilize the markets. now, what are we looking to in the future? the next big thing will be next week, next, tuesday and wednesday, when the federal reserve makes a decision on if they are going to hike interest rate again or not. traders will be watching that very closely because whatever that decision is, could then have a knock off effect for wider implications throughout the market. and through the goal, we commie, the united kingdom's interior minister as an rolanda to discuss a migration deal sweller. braverman will meet with the rwandan president paul could gum a britain, agree to send tens of thousands of migrants to rwanda as part of $146000000.00
