ah ah ah fella box that on votes intimidation my the presidential and parliamentary elections enough because the largest nation, nigeria to israel is all killed in a drive by shooting in the west bank as israel on palestinian authorities meeting jordan security told also ahead movies was looked over or freedom and peace is only possible to feed germans because independently from america, no more weapons to ukraine, nuts. one of the messages us crowds protest outside the ramstein base in germany with

sunday. and that means one thing is the weekly, hey, on our team to national i'm pizza. scott's been harris from the top stories from the week. just gone. thanks for joining us. but we start this hour with the general elections in nigeria, where votes counseling isn't the way to choose the next leader on parliament of africa, most populous nation. we're bringing you a special coverage of one of the constants most significant political events this year with no tensions are on the rise. however, amid reports of long delays bollet box that's under tanks on, on individuals. a

meeting with this numerous incidents like that that have come to really become the the, the hallmark of the election which was supposed to be a celebration. a culmination of the growth of nigeria populace democracy, a stamp of authority at least for the west african states. as a whole, but yes, in no show we had valid boxes been burned in, in other states we have valid boxes being stolen. it's gone as far as, you know, having valid boxes actually not arriving at all in other states such as b alpha. and these kinds of things have come to like, become the hallmark of what we've come to expect out of nigeria and election will at least in the 2023. if you go on to the greater part of leg was here,

you will find most of the young people who happen to, to follow the rise, the recent rise of the labor party telling you that day while the expect is a labor party victory and nothing less will actually make this election become more credible. but in bottom, those date, for instance, we had but one who, you know, you open to discriminate, shooting on voters, injury and some 2 women and 3 men. and this has become a part of what's become known as part of this election cycle. the i n e c is bills bens, by its mantra, that these elections were credible that they were fe. but hello, this is very difficult to sustain that with bags and to bag them up with credible information. but let's take a look at a video now where a man was caught by thugs in that region where he was really taken to task

on the mob of justice before you was late to saved by the police authorities. wanting to the view as it is a bit disturbing. let's take a look. i and that is the summary really of what you've become. of these elections, no entrust. anybody and that fear and that sense of mistrust and suspicion, has been heightened particularly around the election that most people feel should be a story that is really not that difficult to get to the bottom of what we do know right now is that the independent national electoral commission has ellia had set up a,

a position where the press conference is going to be, will going to be informed of the progress so far right now. there is nothing to report. there is basically very little counting despite the content that has happened in several localities. the correlation of that count has not happened in the state leg was like one where we are now. it is a huge that is the most populous thing in nigeria. and the correlation of such has not happened yet. we still have toilet all the centers that have counted their results. and to get a picture at least a state wide picture of how league was turned out. and if you know anything about nigerian elections, you will not win the election yet. if you do not win lego state and that's what it is. and such as they has not even been counted yet. this means that there is a lot more work ahead. and there's a lot more to do for the and for the i n e c to at least to restore their

credibility. if they hope to get out of this with any kind of respectability and an acceptable election results. that was our africa correspondence corroborate a total of their reporting from lagos. the independent national electoral commission also puts elections on hold in a 141 polling stations in bales estate planning to reopen them on sunday. voting was temporarily suspended yesterday in the state of an umbrella, the regions of via email and tabby also face closure. briefly. the districts in ido states have seen elections postponed until the 11th of march as a result of the ovens absence of a logo of one of the political parties. the eastern region of warner also faced a terror attack, reportedly carried out by the boca her. i'm minutes and group as, according to the chairman of the countries independent national electoral commission. earlier we heard from humanitarian activists, ahmed sure, who, who believes that the outcome of the elections is vital both for the country on the continent as a whole. we all know rica and julia,

looking at our population identity departure we, we all play and you won't be in from, in our prison, the impact that you treat, the, it provides you what everyone is interested in what they did here. so the idea here is, if you look at it, right, or the african countries would get it right. if you were to draw all over the country as we get the throw on you to also have 3 on the other countries for us. the one that you why you see most of the lead to the american breach in so serious about getting and well that's, i'm taken to here in most center here to show that we have, we are listen closely with the l p. and you know, on an order here, when we are looking to get up or do the addition, i said he knew that the position and get out. right. and then what he said to julia

is very important though, that just why you see a lot of interest, a lot of commitment and a lot of support by the international community. and then i don't know, i did an order button and we can watch our coverage of the night, june elections here on our team to national throughout the day and will keep you updated as always on all the latest. in the news, the checkpoints leading to the palestinian san of hawaii in the west bank has been sealed off following the drive by shooting of to israelis. of those on sunday when reports say the 2 men in their twenties opened fire on the vehicle, the 2 were evacuated by idea, harmonies were pronounced dead upon arrival. hospital israeli authorities have healed off the town on a reviewing cctv footage to identify the suspects that comes out of israel and palestine. you authorities meet in the jordanian city of cub on sunday for one day

. so it's aimed at curbing the current wave of violence stemming from last week's massacre, nobliss, which left 11 palestinians dead and at least 80 injured. we spoke to read a journalist on political analyst, i may or and who says that this latest shooting just perpetuates the cycle of violence. the cycle of violence has become such a cliche, but unfortunately it is true because each incident is getting another one and a revenge action or an action to fall. another attack and obviously no defensive measures neither offensive nor degeren's. keeps the police genius from acting against israelis and therefore, israeli actions, i guess the probably seen about the aka conference should have been an important

measure. because there are really no 2 sites, you know, the 2 parties. israel is a central authority state, at least up to now where we will see what the new judicial measures bring. but on the other side, on the palestinian side be or story the and the security forces do not control these youngsters are coming a vehicle. passing is really $11.00 driven by sectors from the area and the shooting at them out. the protest is being held at ramstein air base in germany, where hundreds of people have gathered calling from n. c. u. s. miniature influence over the country, as well as a whole to further arm supplies to ukraine. ortiz mitchell marston has more protesters from germany, but not just germany. also, switzerland and france gathered here at ramstein military base about 40 miles

or 66 kilometers away from the french border in germany on sunday, and down to here to call for peace and to demand an end to weapons shipments from germany and the west to ukraine. it's important to keep in mind that this is a highly symbolic military base. ramstein is not only an american base for operations in europe and africa, but it's also a base for a nato ally command for aaron space operations. it's also the focal point of a community, about $50000.00 americans. it's the largest community of americans outside of the united states. it's called little america. and it's also, you might remember the sight of these defense group meetings among western military and defense officials to discuss weapons shipments to ukraine. there was talk in the western press after that that there was a bit of a ruse on the part of the by didn't administration. and just the fact that by now

inst abrams m one tax for ukraine was enough to have german chance or olaf schultz who was reluctant initially to send those tax ukraine, pull the trigger on not it's what really bothers a lot of people here who i spoke with is the fact that, well, they don't want weapons to be sent to ukraine. they want peace, they want negotiations. they just want an end to all of this for the sake of both ukrainians and, and russia and also for themselves as well. and i spoke with some of them earlier, here's what they had to say this of these also, the german they believe is ripping soon to. so it is, well, this was not oh, freedom piece is only possible. if you drew a move, you saw me from america forbidden to talk about it, that the conflict in ukraine is annoyed. conflict in for

2014. and if you say that you are not see, there were also about 10000 demonstrators who turned out in berlin on saturday. and there was a tank that was placed there by the authorities. it was destroyed russian tank and it seemed to be placed there in order to garner sympathy for the ukrainian cause. but all i really did was garner more interest in peace and then quelling everything that's going on with the conflicts and in demanding negotiation . because protesters just went up and placed roses and flowers on the tank. it's also important to note that these protests in berlin over the weekend aren't the only protests that have been taking place in europe around the same cause. there have been protests in italy, the netherlands, and the u. k as well. and

a lot of people have also spoken to be about nord stream and the nord stream pipeline. and one person said night biden is the nord stream bomber. so that's obviously a reference to some recent investigative reporting. i see more hurst that has made headlines recently. so again, this is a part of a much larger movement and they plan on continuing to voice their concerns and their opposition to the weapons being sent to escalate the war and ukraine in favor of peace. and now to the dom bus from lines where this week, russian troops led by the private military company, wagner of advanced, near the strategically important city of bachman, also known as our show mosque. also today, wagner fights is, took over the village of jaga naya now, so the 2 other villages came on to russian control. this latest development complicates logistics for the ukranian forces that there are some of the latest drone images from bach mode and bid to the advancements of russian troops,

ukrainian forces, allegedly that's an age, the local dumb, living, neighboring houses enforcing residents to flee correspondence egotist on a visit to one of the areas recently taken by the wagner group and wanting to view as some of this footage is disturbing. ah, less than 12 hours ago, the entire territory of this cargo railway station was under the ukrainian control . well now it's wagner's domain. humor, fenwick, from earth. there was fighting here in the night mil to reformations worn residential areas. machine guns and grenade launchers were firing here shortly.

they had a great position for shooting trouble, but our guys took this railway area by storm. plenty within the enemy. last about 40 soldiers out of a 100 of the others just ran away. and this ambulance on black military plates, which means it was officially on ukraine's army. roaster was no aid or humanitarian vehicle. it was used by keep troops to deliver reinforcements and ammunition with a disguise. it's crew found their final rest right next to it, r o j america's go. these are us made weapons. they used this ambulances cover to deliver ammunition and food supplies were most care with very or you are asked leon. gov, i so mercenaries from south africa here. i saw us instructors, germans polish ukrainians from the i dar and as of battalions,

as well as the ukrainian paratrooper brigade. there was a strong group here, made up of all they've got, they didn't want to give up our, cham offscreen, the road we cut off was very important for them. they were using it to deliver ammunition and food. but now that road is no more those as well as mercenaries. well, now you have to brace yourself for some truly gruesome images. the defensive lies here in this building are held by you k mercenaries. this is one of them or what's left of one of them. close quarter combat is with wagner. excelsior fighter, who was among those who stormed this building. shares with me what kind of resistance they had too overwhelmed with machine gunners held up defenses in every stage, hearing bozer and they were even shooting in corridors to the door. it didn't help them though. shouldn't our guys know what to do to finish the entered the building the right way and covered each other with

the ukrainian command used this factory warehouse to shelter a tank. ammunition grades are scattered all over the place. a roundly wagner fighters are telling me that the everything indicates that the ukrainians they were planning to hold these positions for a long, long time. but well, this particular sector, it fell in less than a week. which means these are input some tank tracks spoke there. they made a trench probably for tank ammunition. they planned to hold this position for a very long time here and did a lot of preparation for that, but they managed to keep it for only 5 days. just uncle chance was what happened to the tank. i went out over there about a kilometer and a half from here. it stir. it was blown off. here. russia has tightened the noose further on ukraine's garrison in black. moot. because all this is a prelude to the resounding crescendo of the fool of the city,

to the tune of wagner hamburgers done of reporting from the dumbass. our t russia has suspended is participation in the new starts nuclear treaty was not withdrawn from the agreements altogether. that was not even put in statements in his annual address to russia's parliament on tuesday. but they would kick noah, but would get with the needle representatives. the u. s. is sending signals and putting out ultimatums to russia. they say you, russia must implicitly do as we have previously agreed to, including the new start treaty while we the us or do whatever we want to say, say there's no connection between the new start treaty issues in the ukraine, in conflict or other hostile actions by the west towards russia, as if there is no loud statement that the u. s. aim is defeating russia strategically. so it's either utmost cynicism and hypocrisy or utmost stupidity. we

can't call them idiots though. they're not stupid. they want to defeat a strategically and you also want to continue to inspect our new killer objects. in this regard, i have to say that russia is forced to suspend our involvement in the new start treaty, who knows jim the suspension of the treaty caberry verse, according to russia's foreign ministry. and moscow says the u. s. d, escalation of his sons towards russia could create the conditions of fully packed to fully function secretary of state. and they've been can called the russian move deeply, unfortunate and irresponsible. michelle, so states is still intends to follow the timeline on weapons reductions set out in the agreements for the stocks as i checked on stockpiles would not be allowed when you start is the last remaining nuclear limitation. pilots between moscow and washington that they were signed back in 2010 and he set to expire in 3 years time . the treaty, curb strategic arsenals, cap in nuclear assets, at fixed quantities. it also includes on site inspections, to verify compliance. john coverage, political analyst, and seni,

editor for issue insights. so that is clear why moscow suspended his participation in the treaty. it's not a surprise that the government of the russian federation would suspend and it was important that he used the word suspend. he didn't use the word abrogate, remove the ring, renounce it makes sense. you know, from, from his perspective, the russian federation is not just in war with ukraine. it's at war with nato, a war, particularly with united states, and to have inspections, you weapon during whether or not that weaponry is going to be used in ukraine. in this case, nuclear weapons wouldn't be, but they're just the, the intrusiveness of having your enemy on your territory, hoping around is unsettling. and so it, you know, it's not surprising when there is a cessation of the war in between russia and ukraine. at

some point some they'll be a return to a to the inspection regimes. but you know, we don't know how long that's going to take well, just hours of letting a person's address theorists president's how to meeting with his polish count spots in walsall, where the disgust a new alms delivers to ukraine. president, boon chose is more every day the work continues is his joys over the past year. democrats or republicans in the united states congress have come together to stand for freedom. that's all americans are and that's what americans do about his statements came during his visit to the polish capital on tuesday, where he's just the importance of collecting european security and said that nato is stronger than ever. it follows the american liter surprised. it's a key on monday where he told with president followed the minister lensky was while

air raid sirens were heard ringing out across the city. the visit was widely praised in the media. what's a talk show on fox news walked the siren. ah, a resign! often at city in 5 days it was phony. baloney, hollywood, a 100000. i was notified. a was by to me a showed key if the u. s. will stun with them using all means back homes. these countries struggling with his own issues. the state of ohio saw a major blasted to mental punch that followed the chemical catastrophe after a trained carrying toxic substances de bailed in the states around 2 weeks ago, spilling his load and bursting into flames, and does not plan to visit the areas. i

with the republican politicians, took the opportunity to score political points, claim the by dim preferred keith over america, and that was on presidents day in the us. this is incredibly insulting. today on our president stay, jell, biden. the president of the united states chose ukraine over america, while forcing the american people to pay for ukraine's government and war. if you want to understand why so many americans are frustrated right now. biden is in ukraine before ohio. no time to visit east palestine, ohio, but plenty of time for this. o geopolitical analyst marks lebanon believes that

biden's visit to poland on kiff is little more than a stone. they were definitely trying to spin a dramatic propaganda narrative with president biden's speech in warsaw. i mean, he punched home freedom and democracy versus autocracy light versus darkness good versus evil. and all of this, of course is, is really an obscene misrepresentation of the situation. and you grand, i read in a p piece that described zalinski and bite in walking through the streets of kia with the air, raid sirens, as a taste of the terror that the, the people of kiev have lived under a never mind. of course, the 9 year bloody war that the kid regime is waged on the people of don boss. this
