this is bbc news. the headlines: there's been widespread anger and frustration during nigeria's closest presidential election in recent memory, as poor organisation and logistical problems led to severe delays at polling stations. there were also reports of violence, including gunshots near a polling station in lagos. the uk and the eu appear to be on the brink of finalising a new deal on post—brexit trading rules covering northern ireland. the british prime minister says he is "giving everything" to secure an agreement, as his government is determined "to get the job done". officials in turkey say they are investigating more

than 600 people over sub—standard buildings that collapsed during this month's earthquakes. meanwhile, internationalaid agencies say reaching survivors is proving to be very challenging. now on bbc news, our world. drums and chanting the great spirit, whose voice i hear in the wind, hear me. i need your strength and wisdom. we are kind of an invisible culture, because people know about native americans, but people don't know about native americans.

i'm tired of being homeless, man. | i'm tired of being alone. i'm tired of being too scared to kill myself. law enforcement, search warrant! come to the door! go ahead. violence, murder, overdoses from drugs, and we have to protect our people. it's ok. it's like trying to stop _ a haemorrhage with a band—aid. our communities are sick. we're trying to heal them, but it's a slow, hard process. strength lies in knowing who you are and where you come from, and that's what we're focusing on, definitely.

indian reservations are a difficult place for children to grow up, based on what's happened to us. some of them grow up thinking it's indian to be drunk, it's indian to be on drugs, it's indian to be poor, it's indian to be violent. they don't know their history, they don't know the beauty and the strength of where we came from. they don't know what our ancestors did a long time ago, their ways, their culture, that kept us as a people together, that makes us strong, resilient. drums and chanting on loudspeaker: good morning to you, sir. good morning. good to see you again.

i have been called on by the people, and they made me their leader of our nation. my name is mark fox. i am the chairman of the mandan, hidatsa, and arikara nation, also known as the three affiliated tribes. when i serve the best i can, it is an honour to be that, but it is also very difficult. it's very demanding and it is very stressful. one of the biggest reasons why social ills exist in indian country is because the answer has always been economic. but when the united states came in for their own purposes of flood control, recreation and hydropower, flood us out with their dams and destroy our backbone, that's where you begin to see the social ills begin to immensely take off, in the '505, '605, 705, each decade getting worse and worse.

85% of all our crimes committed are alcohol or drug—related. 85%. the reality of the situation is we have to stop being a market. we never had a dea before, created a drug enforcement agency, drug treatment programme, getting people off of drugs, and we try to save lives by building what we're doing now, not ten years from now, not 20 years from now — now. — this is good road recovery. they originally built it because we were sending a lot of people out for treatment, and we wanted to be able to try and take

care of our own people. there's two rooms that the clients can stay in, and we have close monitoring. sometimes it's every hour, sometimes it's every three hours. if they have symptoms, we can give them medications, so we can't take all the symptoms of withdrawal away, but we're just trying to get them to stay in treatment. my name isjoy fohlen. i am a member of the mha nation. i am arikara, i am also the executive director of recovery services for mha. hi, how are you? somebody�*s waiting? male orfemale? ok, then we need to get over to the male cottage before he gets over there. i had a warrant for

the 24—7 programme because i had two duis here. they arrested me and they took me to burleigh county. 0k, my room, my bed. i don't know how long i'm going to be here. it might be two months, three months, four months, i don't know. my addiction started when i was 13, 14, around then. started with me stealing cigarettes, drinking a beer every once in awhile. then i started smoking more weed, and drinking basically became heavier and heavier. ifell into pills when i was about 16. i loved the way pills made me

feel, made me feel confident, made me feel like, yeah, i was confident, able to talk to chicks, you know? my mum and dad would let me drink with them, as long as i would bust the guitar out, even on school nights. and then being recognised and having my ego stroked, as a little misunderstood, broken little kid, felt good to me, you know what i mean? when everyone around you is using and has this life, it becomes normal. the abnormal becomes normal. you are currently looking for treatment services, right? it's heartbreaking. last month, we had two people a week die from overdose.

and so, our people are dying. do you use substances as well? i'm just thankful that our council and our tribe is trying to, and is, making a difference, and one of the ways is to try and make a sober community. i'm a drug cop, always been a drug cop. it's poison, and addiction runs rabid. i wanted to do more, and i wanted to help my people, so i went

into law enforcement. we are going to newtown, to an apartment complex, for an overdose death. it's unfortunate that i haven't been to a scene like this in a while. he wasn't really on our radar. i know people knew him, but he wasn't somebody who i thought i would be responding to this sort of call with. and to have him lose his life so young, to something like this, it's upsetting. i have relatives that are hooked on meth, and it's tough. close cousins that i grew up with, i never would

have thought would go down that road. you know, you have to arrest family members, you have to make those decisions, and you get ostracised by family, you know, you're no nephew of mine, you're no cousin of mine, you're no brother of mine. what? what is it? do you need some lovin�*? we know our people are great, and so let's give them every chance possible to have a great life and get back to their roots, get back to who we really were, you know, loving the land, and having community.

it's hard to do that when your community isn't sober. tonight, they have sweat. yep. so we're going to run and get funds for them. how it starts out is that we have wood and we have rocks. we heat the rocks and we take them inside the pit there. it's very similar to a sauna. the thing with this one, it's more connected to nature, you know? we have all the four bases of belief there, fire, the water, the air, then we are setting it directly on the earth there. if you want to tell us a little

bit about what happened to bring you here, why you chose good road, what progress you are making here. and i see you have a thing on. what have you got there? this is a sweet grass, and it's got sage in there, and it has bark from the tree that me and the boys we cut down during the sundance, and the analogy for that was, you know, kind of fighting my addiction, fighting my demons, fighting this darkness inside my soul, our soul. it's like we went to war with it and we cut the tree down. to protect me. i got two circular rocks there to protect me from negative energy, negative spirits. for both of you, that was your first sundance? yeah. i know some folks talked about the spirituality. did you find that too? like i say, it was my first time, so it was a new experience for me. mine came afterwards.

when i was there, it was kind ofjust like learning how- they're doing everything - and how the ceremony went. afterwards, reflecting| on it was kind of more the learning part of it, - just looking back and thinking about what everything meant and being able to be - a part of that. yeah, it was pretty special. when you get them sober and you say, re—examine who you are and identify who you are by where you come from, your lineage, your roots, when they do that, they find the strength. that's the stark difference between what other treatment might do, non—indian treatment facilities may do, and ours. addiction, it affects families.

it doesn't just affect the person, but the whole family. my son is 25 and he first came in contact with alcohol and marijuana when he was a teenager. for him, it became a problem, it became an addiction. it continued to get worse and worse and worse, to the point where we were staying up at night with him because we were afraid he would vomit and choke, or even just so he would not sneak out of the house and take the vehicle and drive someplace and kill himself or kill others. and he's sober today. 18 months sober, i think. and he's doing good, and i'm just so proud

of him because i know he overcame hurdles. i'm gonna go somewhere. i'll be there for a while and then i'll come back. it will be ok. i'll be careful, you know? it sounds crazy that i am more fearful of him relapsing than i am fearful of him getting shot. but that is just addiction. it tears families apart. what we're going to be doing is going over our dot brief, for our search warrant

of a residence that we have information on, to have some suspected drug activity going on in there. counsel received information that she is possibly pregnant. when we take her down, just be mindful of that. they said six or seven months, but she does not look like it. all of us are affected by it on or off the reservation. i don't think there is one family not affected by addiction to either drugs or alcohol. and it causes a lot of trauma. he thumps on door law enforcement! search warrant! come to the door! go, go, go! the worst situation that we

could everfind in a home is kids being exposed to this. this being normalised. this fentanyl, if you would tell me ten years ago that this was to come to my reservation and invade and kill this many people, i would never have believed you. this isn't a movie. this isn't a game. this is real. the lives are real and we're just out here trying to save them. that's what i tell my team all the time. every pill, we saved a life. that's all that matters to me. you can't save them all, but we

can save them one at a time. what's going on? what's up, bro? good to see you. good to see you too. and i'm back. i was relieved to be arrested because that was my way out of the chaos and it was a way to keep me from my addiction. there was an opportunity for me to become a better person and become a better father, a better version of myself. yes, i was here earlier this year and, you know, i was in mid—addiction and i abused the grounds and everything and i was wrong for that. i do appreciate you coming in and owning up to that. l i am glad you are doing better.

i do remember that incident that happened, so i do - appreciate it and i appreciate that you're doing a lot betterj and that's good enough for us, that you're doing better. - thank you. be betterand keep it up, 0k? yes. # said, said that's what you want # because i've got my baby on my side... # it has been this way ever since my mother died...#. i have to take action,

making it right with people i've done wrong. oh, my gosh. just for the camera. good to see you. how are you? good to see you. melody. this isjoy. she is the boss of everything. do you want to come into my office? sure. 0k. she has already been through so much. we've been kicked out of, like, two or three homes and she's only six, you know? so she's been homeless... but you know what? what did you learn? as long as you have your dad and your dad has you, that's all that matters most. yeah.

that's my heart and soul, that's my world, definitely. you're doing awesome. one day at a time. and i have learned that from you and tyrell and other guys and gals, it is, like, i am sober today and that is what matters. that's what matters, yeah. and if i'm sober today, then i'm capable. you know? to be the father i need to be. he sings i think everybody has a light. when people have addiction, that light is covered with darkness, and when they get sober, they glow and become what they were meant to become. # it's a lonely road when you're going nowhere

so i've to go with somebody #. my plan now — help. be of service. help my people back home any way i can. to show them that you do not have to get drunk to have fun, you do not have to get high to cope, you don't have to live that lifestyle to have a good life. at the heart of what makes us indian is our tribalism. is our communal togetherness. we take care of each other. and that's what allowed us to survive for thousands of years and that's what's going to make us survive the next thousand years.

hello. high pressure continues to dominate the weather picture this weekend. now, the best of the sunshine on saturday was across western areas, but the high pressure not only brought these sunny skies to northern ireland, but also brought this squished cloud as the air descended down through the atmosphere. whereas further east, we had extensive cloud really for most of the day and a number of showers coming in off the north sea. now, yesterday's satellite picture, you can see the extent of the cloud. it was particularly cloudy across these northeastern areas. but if we take a look at the satellite picture in a bit more detail, this cloud sheet is going to continue to feed in this kind of direction, which will take cloudy weather into northern england, the north midlands and north wales, whereas we've got much clearer skies in this part of the north sea,

drier air and that's set to move into east anglia, southern england and the south midlands. so there will be changes in the distribution of cloud as we head into sunday. now, the clearest of the skies over the next few hours across southern areas of england, southern wales, scotland, northern ireland and perhaps parts of western england, there'll be quite a widespread frost. the lowest temperatures, west scotland gets down to about minus five degrees. so it will be a cold start, but extensive cloud will continue to feed in across northern england, the north midlands, north wales, with some light showers coming in from the north sea, whereas across east anglia, the south midlands, probably southern wales and definitely most of southern england, you should have more in the way of sunshine compared with yesterday. the other place that will do quite well for sunshine, west scotland and maybe northern ireland, because here we're close to the centre of high pressure and that high pressure continues to build in on monday. so again, it's probably west scotland and northern ireland will have the best of the day's sunshine, otherwise probably a little bit more in the way of cloud filtering down the north sea. so it could well be a cloudier picture across england, wales and eastern scotland through monday.

tuesday, well, the high pressure is still there. however, this is a troughjust coming in from europe. and what that will do is it will thicken the cloud a little bit across southern areas, enough to bring some scattered showers in. so you might find a few patches of rain here, not expecting anything to be particularly heavy, whereas the weather should be drier with the best of any sunshine again, for west scotland and northern ireland. temperatures continue to be quite close to average really for the time of year, and with the high pressure staying close by the british isles really through the rest of the week, the weather stays quiet with cloud varying day by day.
