5:07 pm
district attorney's office. he calls to his supporters to protest. let's get more on this with mike canada, who's following the situation force washington, d. c. so willy hills or won't be arrested. it really depends on who's talking right now. yes. and what this information is based on donald trump, saying that he received this information from what he calls illegal leaks within the last few minutes. a spokesperson for donald trump confirms that there has been no official notification that this information comes from what the spokesperson calls illegal leaks out of the manhattan district attorney's office. now this is in connection according to trump's tweet on social media. that it's in connection with the hush money paid to, to women long period of time ago, but paid during the 2016 campaign. now we do know that a grand jury has been investigating this matter. we do know that comes form
5:08 pm
a lawyer, michael cohen, who allegedly orchestrated the payment of this money to the 2 women has appeared before that grand jury. but what is interesting is that this is probably the least consequential of the many legal actions taking place against donald trump. he's facing charges potential charges in georgia. he's under investigation by the special council with connection to the events of january. the 6th, when his support is storm, the capital, so many questions as to why the statement is being made at this particular time. difficult times the donald trump really is trying to sort of make his mark in trying to get to the white house again. so a statement like this will confuse a lot of people. yes, indeed, it's also what many observers believe is a blatant attempt to get his supporters out into the streets. many a think that his campaign, his 2nd campaign for the presidency,
5:09 pm
is losing momentum. he's facing potential opposition from other republicans this time around and it would appear that he needs to get some kind of oxygen into his re election campaign. one of these is to get his supporters out to the street, which some observers believe this is blatantly intended to do and some in fact making it in parallel to the events of january. the 6th 2021. when trumps made a similar call to supporters and that ended up with the riot and the attack on the capital. but kinda with the update that thanks very much mike in washington dc. now, nigerians have returned to the polls to elect new governors in 28 states. new states assemblies will also be elected. another vote was delayed by week the electoral commission that it needs a time to reconfigure electronic voting machines. following a disputed presidential election in february and the address is joining us now live
5:10 pm
from carla and emma. you've been monitoring the election process throughout the day . so different type of election really isn't it to the what we saw just a few weeks ago. how's it going well, so far it has gone on very well. the voting has ended officially some 40 minutes ago, but in certain areas where we've seen a large town out of reuters, the process and a just few minutes ago, especially in this color center, which is populated, are almost to the brim. officially, voting has ended. the counting process was about to start when suddenly there was commotion and chaos here. it took the intervention of the security forces to clear the area. let me show you exactly what happened. this area was populated by hundreds of voters, party supporters and secure to agents. so when the process ended, some people probably wanted to disrupt the process. this is usually the most
5:11 pm
critical moment of the electoral process in nigeria, the counting process. whatever happens at this juncture, will have large implication on the outcome of this election and because of the commotion, the security forces quickly stepped in and stabilized everything. if the camera pans this way, what you see inside that room in particular, ah, electron officials and party agents were monitoring this election. and the reason why they kept in here was to safeguard the integrity of the vote. and the safety of the polling officers, as well as my children who are here now. so hell this exercise night went on successfully and peacefully in the early hours of today was huge cases which spoken to the commissioner of police encounter. we've spoken to the electoral commissioner here in coddle on several of the individuals who trusted to the fact, but the process was going on successfully and peacefully throughout the day. now, like i said earlier, the crucial moment is not when the votes atomic,
5:12 pm
when an individual realize that they may not be getting the votes. they want to not just when there was all kinds of trouble. and hopefully, hopefully the police stepped in quickly and step licensed situation along with other security services. so what were the issues that people wanted addressed in the state your in because 28 states is, is a lot of issues, isn't it? and each state has its own electro group, the one that issues addressed was exactly the reason why the other states, 8 states in particular, don't vote in the selection was because of the judicial pronouncement judgements on the outcome of previous elections. as a result, the tenure of governance have been shipped it from the regular may 29th to the end of may 29th after 4 years now here in the rest of the 28 states, why this mocking was held that all cases previously there. what case is in the
5:13 pm
presidential and parliamentary and just now it's 3 weeks ago. and one of the reasons, one of the biggest problem was the use of technology in the process. and a lot of people was not happy about the way it was conducted, especially political parties who felt that there was sort of robbed of the vote or the outcome of the election results. a lot of people who are not happy with the conduct of the last election did not come out to vote in other areas in connell state. we've seen a large time out of people who came out to vote, but in one particular, appalling spent that which has more than 36 polar unit would seem a very, very low turn out. simply because people there felt that they're the part to they were supporting 3 weeks ago. did not do well. all was sort of reach out of the out of the results. and i said, result, they just quoted this particular, but elsewhere would spoken to people and they confirmed at the high turn out was
5:14 pm
high in certain areas. simply because the interaction is so important at the local level. these representatives i've been elected today are the ones that are closer to the people. and apart from that, every governor has a significant role to play in the emergence of a presidential candidate, one the next round of election take place. and because of that, people are really, really putting all in all to ensure that they're part you went. and because of that as well, you see the praises of violence. people try and, and also the means to get elected or when actions. well, i mean address with the update then from con i, thanks so much for joining us. people will always now continue to search for loved ones buried under mud. and the death toll from cycling freddie exceeds 430 tens of thousands of being false from the home by the flooding, survive the shorter food and aid has been said to reach many areas blocked by the land slides. so, me to mila has more from a kanga. it's far from over,
5:15 pm
and the rescue services are continuing here in mac. conga, it's just off land. oh, it's quite a distance from the mainland. there's a river between my congo and the mainland, and that has been entirely flooded the water coming up into what was a village. and i'm just going to step out of shot to give you a better idea of what it looks like here. the water wasn't this close to where people were living and you see people sitting on local canoes waiting to be rescued by the police services. the canoes would normally transport people back and forth between here and the mainland, but they're charging $4500.00 below in shillings the equivalent of $4.00 to take people to the mainland and they simply don't have the money. so they're relying on police services. we're sending 2 boats out a day and collecting people to make about 6 trips. and so far they've reached about 1300 people. but hundreds more are waiting on an island like this other to take refuge in trees. they've lost absolutely everything. their homes have been washed
5:16 pm
away. they also don't have any food, and that's the main thing they're complained about. as soon as we reach this island, they said they're hungry and they're trying to get to the mainland to get food. because a little may, they did have, has now run out and there's nothing left they even, even if they did have made, they don't have homes, they don't have shelter, they don't have cooking utensils or pots as really nothing they can do. we also understand it further on this island. they are more people waiting for rescue efforts are, but they're simply too weak and tired to make it here. so they would have to wait for assistance to reach them a little more in land. we know about a 126000 people in this district alone have been displaced. please say they're doing as much as they can. it's taken some time to reach areas like this because have been inaccessible. the water was too strong and too high. so these rescue efforts continue, and it certainly will be a number of a few more days before the is i suppose, a greater
5:17 pm
