2:05 pm
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 was going to be we're, we're 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 a state leg was like one where we are now. it was 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 elections here. if you do not when lego state,

2:12 pm
germany, but not just germany, also switzerland and france gathered here at ramstein military base 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 allied command for aaron space operations. it's also the focal point of a community of about $50000.00 americans. it's the largest community of americans outside of the united states. it's called little america. and um, it's also you might remember the sight of these defense group meetings among western military and defense officials to discuss weapon 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 biden administration. and that just the fact that by
2:13 pm
announced abrams m on tanks for ukraine was enough to have german chancellor, olaf schultz who was reluctant initially to send those tanks. 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 grant. 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 there were also about 10000 demonstrators who turned out in berlin on saturday. told mine huffman one to biden has signed contracts with dogs companies to supply ukraine with weapons for many years. for many years, dable machine is to be engaged so that it does not run out of weapons. what an insane and cynical policy. and then they stand up and say that this is sold
2:14 pm
a diety, the de crane, what a lie. and this war is not about noble valley is, but about nature and the scope of the american zone of influence. there was a tank that was placed there by the authorities. it was a 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 conflict and in demanding negotiation. because protesters just went up and placed roses and flowers on the tag. 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. use an agree ology father. i am here today to firmly reiterate my absolute no, to weapons for ukraine. we are now seeing
2:15 pm
a terrible escalation and we don't know where it will take us. sending arms does not help us achieve peace or other phrase, but they are doing no luther. but we progress with the c for a or who should it be? should i support the training people and the russians are victims of an american prophecy? a lot of people have also spoken to be about nord stream and the north 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 hearse that has made headlines recently. so again, this is 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. a new frame in
