the top spot here. and they remain the most interested in, in, in this regard, we have a blessed at to know who, who is the, who is from the incumbents, party the all progressive congress does the party of miss double harry. he will be up against a man known as a to coo abaca mister albert cow was a former vice president to orlando by sango. and this was after the military rule that ended in 1999. 0, these kennedy's of course, are up against the 3rd one. now this p t o b is the dark horse in this race. he was a nobody in terms of the presidential elections at least some 6 months ago. but now all of a sudden everybody's talking about the labor party, everybody's talking about p, toby. nigeria is strengthening its security measures. having closed that plan, borders for the day of the polls. over $400000.00 police and law enforcement

officers are on duty. ensuring the security of the presidential and parliamentary elections and army rapid response operations center has been established in each of the countries 36 states for emergency military intervention if necessary. many in the country are also concerned about foreign interference in the elections artes below david breaks found the d more than 140000 national and international observers have been accredited by the conscious electoral empire, ionic income benson outgoing precedents. mohammed bl, harry, i'm chairman, mahmoud yakobelli, have issued a stern warning that one observers a welcome to submit reports to an actual permissions, to highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the process. the must not interfere with the processes themselves. i want to remind observers that that is on code of conduct for election observation. you are by definition, observe us,

do not interfere with the process or shall partisanship. in addition, international observers must be guided by the fact that the election is conducted by an in the federal republic of nigeria, whose sovereignty must be respected, mixed reactions, appeal to governments. one ends against foreign interference in the countries election. as supp analysts believed business tools to be afraid. interference is also really achieved equal rights cats in, ah view of the, of their program depending on how they feel for beyond rights and dis, cats in review, which is to dam does left to them. they can't come until the nigeria for various times the canto canisius could do todd decanter movie became rejected. who has been elected by the people of nigeria, the british i'm the u. s. i sees you that i play street that to smedley. mindy that

here on our tea. will keep you updated on all the latest right. as the cues, the u. s. of fueling the ukrainian crisis, citing washington's interventions in other countries as evidence of nefarious activity. the comments came from the russian envoy to the un speaking at the security council. as the conflict in ukraine enters its 2nd year to show up in the us and its nato. allies have appropriated the right to interfere in any international issues and the internal affairs of other states. and ukraine is a clear example of this. western leaders deceived as before, and they want to keep doing that by putting the right of needed talk spanned uncontrollably to an absolute level. since the end of the cold war,

the west has conducted 251 military operations abroad, causing enormous damage to other countries. the collective west must accept the fact that there are other players on the world arena, who have their own interests, and that it is necessary to coexist with them and even cooperate on an equal basis with mutual respect, russia had the opportunity as a permanent member of the security council to come forward and talk about the truth of the matter. and we heard russian ambassador, i knew them very thoroughly refuting the selective nature of the u. s. approach when it comes to things like human rights and concerns about supposed aggression, etc. on the bends, the a pretty thoroughly bon, the claims being repeated by us leaders and their allies. the security council meeting was essentially because of the anniversary of the case and operation. the various us aligned countries including ukraine, were given

a platform at the un security council. to give speeches, condemning, rush, accusing, rush of atrocities, et cetera. however, china, also a permanent member of the security council took to the floor, the meeting. and when china spoke, they echoed much of what russia dad. and in addition to that, they called for talk word resolving the conflict to begin without preconditions. here's what we heard from the chinese representatives or your job can i wouldn't use on some countries while stressing sovereignty and territorial integrity on the ukraine issue. are blatantly interfering in other countries internal affairs and undermining their sovereignty and territorial integrity. this reveals a double standard at full display. security is not an exclusive right enjoyed only by some countries. the security of a country should not be pursued at the expense of others. strengthening or even expanding military blocks, lonely, undermine regional security. russia, ukraine,

and european countries are neighbors that cannot physically move away from each other to realize lasting peace in europe, the cold war mentality and block of confrontation must be abandoned shina recently put forward a scenario for a resolution of the conflict. i'm trying to move toward an end to the conflict. i'm however, that scenario, but forward by the aging was roundly rejected by the united states. the very same united states that is continually insisting that it's russia that is preventing negotiations from taking place. in the meanwhile, the u. s. secretary of state has been ridiculed after saying big countries should and bully, others rushes foreign ministry spokesman replied with a sarcastic post, reminding anthony blinking of his own nations track record viscerally. most americans don't like to see a big country bowling another and they just feel it's wrong and want to do something about it. one country just can't attack its neighbor,

there can try to seize its land by force, can try to erase it from the map. shan't bully, was it not to you asked that attack to rock or as a rock, not a small enough country, unless i'm mistaken. lincoln represents the usa and not some other country. so the secretary of state should at least know his own state's history. in iraq alone up to 1400000 people die due to the consequences of the us invasion. according to one survey, a chinese foreign ministry spokesperson set on friday that 37000000 people were displaced following us interventions in afghanistan, iraq, and syria. since the 2nd world war, washington has been militarily involved in conflicts in asia, latin america, yugoslavia, and throughout the middle east. almost all of washington's interventions were justified by defending democracy or fighting terrorism. that's despite the fact that most of these conflicts lead to political chaos and high civilian casualties

in the countries involved media and political analysts line all told us the current conflicts in ukraine is important for me also because of the risk of u. s. military involvement, right at russia, se, doorstep when you consider the fact that there are people who still understand, i think based in some kind of good spirit that we have to protect individuals from being bullied and being traversed and being manhandled by. i don't think they really understand. number one, the history and how history has shown that very frankly, we were doing this in the past in my generation. we remember vietnam. you can take the same argument. exactly. i still don't even know what iraq had to do in 911. we know. no, we're not even sure about have gander stand. one day we were out of afghanistan like that. and nobody's talked about that. we're not even talking about libya

anymore. we had to go in and we had to take care of libya because this man was an evil, terrible despotic. and what about libya who runs it? is it worse or better since we were above? we don't know. this is not about being an apologist for looking the other way. this is about the way to handle geopolitical reality today. what would we do? what would any country do if we switch the situation and all of a sudden we had china on the border, let's say of texas or canada is out of canada was china. it will be a completely different story. i don't understand how this message, how analogy is specifically, how history is it remembered? ah, south africa, russia and china are carrying out joint naval drills in the indian ocean off the

coast of south africa. vessels from the 3 navies have kicked off the active phase of the exercises that include fire in practice, tactical maneuvering, and counter terror operations are ti corresponded on a christian go. take a closer look at how the exercises have unfolded. joined naval exercises between russia, south african china continued the shores of the indian ocean. the drills in both worships helicopters and platoons of marines. for though moshe anybody i do, i do not like marine corpse units are considered the elite of the navy in every country. they perform missions at sea on land and in the air. we are now watching a marine courts training exercise to free a sheep, hijacked by pirates. one of the important steps in the exercise is to assimilate the exercise on a map before a ship enters the open ocean. despite language differences, it's easy for the military to find waste exchange ideas and experiences. there was also

a signing ceremony of the final protocols of the maritime exercise plan at preacher's bayport, them, i, this is literally the go by the communication despite the language barrier was quite easy because both the self, african and chinese sites are great professionals who understand everything without any necessary woods, the basic knowledge of the english was enough to explain the details of the maneuvers and which position every shape should be in a different boyd's in time. the chinese delegation presented the participants of the naval exercises with books written by the renowned chinese philosopher confucius, which spoke of friendship and good neighborliness day by saying this i am. it's shows that we are strengthened in our friendship between the 3 countries. the russian representatives are playing the role of the commander in the exercise. and they've been asked plans to hell. the 3 set of drills with the participation of the brazilian navy. ah, u. s. president joe biden lied about north stream blast. that's according to

pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh speaking exclusive liter journalists option ritathui on going underground. this comes as u. s. minority leader hakim jeffries was grilled by a journal. it's jose vega about the nord stream sabotage allegations seeking to gloss over a direct question on u. s. involvement in the sabotage the law maker was accused of putting american lives at risk. i want you to say something about the bombing, we're going to continue to stand with the ukranian. do not, you know, war again. when we need talk about a battle be in tomorrow. will not said american journalists, an activist, jose vega says the u. s. establishment, along with the mass media and military industrial complex are the only actors

benefiting from the north stream pipeline sabotage. the united states had to do a desperate attempt to make sure that germany would continue to support the ukrainians and continued to walk hand in hand with the united states. i mean, you have to ask who benefits in the united states? the russians aren't going to blow up their own gas pipeline, right? the media is just as complicit in this as the military industrial complex is complicit in this. they are working hand in hand. and i think, you know, you can see that the germans have really no choice, their hands are tied behind their back. right. so they have to rely on the us now. and this was only a grand geo political strategy to ensure that. and also as a reminder that we have a color on the country of germany and it was the united states trying to make a state and saying, we can do whatever we want. and we will make sure this war continues to go on by

any means necessary. herschberg, the north stream sabotage story in his report. publish on february 8th of peace, the ledges the pipelines were mine by u. s. navy divers. the journalists said, washington used nato military drills as cover for the operation with assistance from norway. according to the report, joe biden made the decision after 9 months of consultations with his security advisors, the claims have been denied by both washington and the you with officials dismissing hirsch's findings as speculation, and even fiction. for more revelations, from the man who previously exposed us war crimes in vietnam and iraq will have the full interview with seymour hersh on going underground right here in our tea. this saturday. a palestinian man died after being shot in the head by the idea of during clashes in the west bank on friday. police use tear gas and

enough is enough. and to say to the israel settlers in hebron with you must leave and that what is happening in nablus is a heinous crime. all our people have to take to the streets to control this occupation. the latest protests come in response to israel's escalation of violence against palestinians highlighted by a massacre and nobliss last wednesday, which left 11 palestinians dead and nearly 110 others. injured. tel aviv said the deadly raid was carried out in order to arrest 3 fighters, allegedly involved in earlier violence against israelis. according to statistics released by the palestinian health ministry, a total of $65.00 palestinians, including 13 children, have already been killed since the start of 2023. the ministry has described this as the bloodiest avar start of the year. for the people of palestine in decades are

t spoke to palestinian journalists. mohammed not g. who says the world silence gives israel the green light to continue displacement and violence against palestinians. that is any fuck with a slice. when gay is ready, governments let us motrin vinegar, v auto becoming fully charge of the issue as affairs they are charged with doesn't live on. so those bank go to grabbing their less, doing their homes in the area, see a gale's on a lot so most can is a limb. so the situation or heating for more, an escalation on the violence, especially when it's much affordable gone month. where does it efficient would be increased more as we with this in the last year? there is no heck when donation a government is told, it's a can i get into the senior russia special military
