mo, bipolar ideological cold war any more, but we're not going to allow a new relationship to develop with ah ballard. bog staff down vote to intimidation my of the presidential on parliamentary elections enough because law just nation nigeria also coming up this out. oh wow. it's really simple, it's a setting building thing, talk on fire, reportedly killing one person and leaving 98 wounded. this comes off to a deadly drive by shooting of israelis on sunday or freedom in peace is only

possible with independently from america. we are not an instrument breakout yet. another war. america has already twice. let war begin from german soil and it's enough and then we'll weapons to ukraine. that's one of the messages is proud to protest outside rounds dina base in germany following a. we tend to have multiple people with demonstrations across to europe plus a brotherly fisticuffs. punky thing on dont saying here in russia, people are celebrating the end of the week long festival court moslin eat which precedes the orthodox kristian. great land with a welcome. you're watching on t international with the latest world news update. it's good to have you with as this out. i. we start with the general elections in nigeria where vote counting is

on the way to choose the next leader on parliament of africa, most populous nation. we're bringing you all special coverage of one of the continents, most significant political events. hey, polling stations was supposed to close on saturday, then immediately transmit the counts as soon as they were tally. but so far, the electoral commission is only published results from less than a quarter of them and also made reports of ballot box theft. and the tax by armed individuals are africa correspondent, parabola toddler visits, different polling stations across the state of legos. a book i don't know how long i'm going on with

this. numerous incidents like that that have come to really become 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 showed that we had ballot boxes being burned in, in other states we have valid books has been stolen. it's gone as far as, you know, having valid boxes, actually not arriving at all in other states, such as b elsa 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, the bottom of the state, for instance, we had,

but i wish you know, you open discriminant shooting on voters, injury and some to women and 30 men. and this has become a part of what's become known as part of this election cycle. the i n e c is feels bends by its mantra, that these elections were credible that they were faith. but to tell the truth is very difficult to sustain that with bags and to bag them up with credible information. let's take a look at a video now where man was caught by thugs in that region where he was really taken to task and the mob justice before you was later saved by and the police are wanting to view us. it is a bit disturbing. let's take a look i

and that is somebody really of what you've become of these elections, no one trust 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 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 popular 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 when lego state, and that's how important it is and such, a state has not even been counted yet. this means that there is a lot more work ahead and there is a lot more to do for that. and for the i n e c to at least to restore their credibility if they hope to get out of this with any punch of respectability and an acceptable reaction results. this is rashadi is one of the voting. where are the polling districts? here in the 2023 that jerry elections here, you have the remnants of reverend yesterday is burned, thesis of favor. # that's clearly. busy belong to over to the independent national electoral commission of nigeria. and we understand that here, thugs came around vandalized, the police shut in the air caused

a lot of confusion and scared of the officials and the would be voters. and it was only then that they proceeded to burn the election material there was here. closing, closing may have really to the people that were here and some of the people that wanted to vote. and this modus operandi we understand carried on because further down the road, the same kind of exercise was undertaken. people were voting, they did the boys here. so people lined up here. so before i came back, they are points every 2, but i did not see the pupil that these votes him before. where boys night came on. scott that every time there was no votes enough that the boy knew. and this is just a, some of the incidents that have happened throughout the country as people went to cast their vote. others were they to make sure. busy the intimidate that voice of

freedom, that this is another vandalized area where the materials were. now the thing about nigeria that they have a lot of a lot of stops way. where in maybe in one street you could find as many as 567 votes him locations. this was part of an orchestrated effort to try and stifle the voice of would be voters. my dear is the electoral commission also put voting on hold at 141 polling station in by else of state on saturday before resuming the process on sunday. voting was temporarily suspended in the state of an umbrella. the regions of abbey, a emo and cabby, also face delays. 3 districts in edo state have seen elections postponed until the 11th of march as a result of the absence of a logo of one of the political parties. meanwhile, in abbey, a state a fresh vote is scheduled on monday in several local government areas that's according to election official. we had various degrees of discrepancies concerning

the procedures that were violent. to some extent, the commission felt that the credibility of the election should not be compromised, and that there should be no winner by default. so the voting must take place in the effect of pulling units on monday. however, in many other parts of the country, the election process is said to have gone smoothly, according to vote. as you've described their experiences the, the initial was very okay. so 3 of face because nobody friday was just movie now. accordingly, let them do the rising. no, i cannot do it all on the icon for them. 100 percent that we appeal in that is you do this. so that is a liquid will be taking care of terry inactive. his act met shahan, who believes that the outcome of the elections is vital for both the country and the continent as a whole. we all know that the giant of rica and men julia,

looking at our population identity departure, and we, we all play and do all hobby and prominent and in prison. the impact that you found, treat the provider you want. everyone is interested in what comes out of media. so the idea here is, if you tried all of the, of the con county would get it right. if you were to draw all over the country as we get the throw on you to also have if you take on the or the home to a for us, the one that use why you are the most of the will leave this, the american breaching. so serious about getting in, well, i'm taken to here in the center here to show that we have, we are listen closely with the up here and you know, and was on order here when we are looking to get up for the addition to the new that the position and get out. right. and then what effect of najia is very important though, that is why you see a lot of interest, a lot of commitment and

a lot of support by the international community. and in order parts we can watch the coverage of the nigerian elections here on our team throughout the day will keep you fully updated on all the latest. ah, a protest has been out at ramstein abbeys in germany, where hundreds of people have gathered, quoting for an end to us military influence over the country under a hold of feather and supplies to ukraine. his will, some protest is hard to say. so these are said a german, they deliver sir robins to him to so it is war letters was not o. freedom and peace is only possible if you germans decide independently from america. it's forbidden to talk about. a that the conflict in ukraine is,

is annoyed. conflict in for 2014. and if you say that you are not see most august until and be done once our country to be free again, that's great. us is well aware what i'm talking about, a community that we are not an instrument to break out yet. another war america has already twice let war begin from german soil and it's enough to protesters from 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 ally 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 it's also you might remember the sight of these defense group meetings among western miller, barry, 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 biden administration. and that just the fact that by now inst abrams m one tax 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 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 there were also about 10000 demonstrators who turned out in berlin on saturday, told by huffman one to biden has signed contracts with, dawns 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 so the dieting, the di crane. what ally 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 now lance 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 a terrible escalation and we don't know where it will take us. sending arms is not helpless, achieved europe or other face that they are doing? no, not the military, but with the see for a poorer solutions and fees. without this destruction, i support the ukrainian people. i'm the russians. who of it? tim's is an american proxy will. 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 hearse 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. not to russia, as apple, j, a region where ukrainian forces have shall the town of basilica footage from the scene shows the aftermath of the attack that hit a university building. ukrainian artillery reportedly used cluster munitions to bombard the civilian site. according to local officials, at least 10 shells struck the roof of the building with no word on casualties. and on the dumbass run lines russian troops led by the volcanic group have advanced deeper into the strategically important city of archer. mollusk also known as bach

moods on saturday, russian forces took over the village of got noise that off the 2 other nearby residential areas came under that control. these latest developments complicate logistics for the ukrainian truth troops. they've been phased. they defending awesome off for months. some of the latest drone footage from the area shows the devastation brought to civilian infrastructure by the relentless bottles and a bit slow down the advance of the russian troops. ukrainian forces reportedly detonated a local dam, flooding near by houses, and forcing residence to flee while rushes long the group has been targeted in the use latest 10th round of sanctions against moscow. block has included restrictions against specific members of the private military group and 7 african entities with alleged ties to them. you foreign policy chief years well has criticized wagner track record in africa. the wagner groups activities are

a threat for the people in the countries where they operate in the european union. they endanger international peace and security as they do not operate within any legal framework. the e u as determined to continue taking tangible action against breaches to international law. the head of wagner forces in molly has also been included on the sanctions list. the money and government has requested vog. ms. assistance of the french troops were unable to contain jihadists in the region over the last decade. and the central african republic, the russian military group has been involved in coiling belly and also at the request of local authorities. a political analysts told us that africans welcome back those missions on the continent. while western powers are the only ones who oppose russia's presence. there. russia, if sanctions gun no pressure on russia, did they have been already socrates?

what before and then the president of russia in africa is grant is growing, know every day russia is person now in many being great. know, even though who are the only people that decides seeing that presenting africa, those will be any sort of yes, but i speak to them, says presented in africa and i think i'm asked so much you know what is good for them or not they are not happy for the president of russia, russia, india. yeah, yeah. and the categories. i think h c, i a chief, i said he's confident that paging is considering supplying on to moscow. william burns did however, admit that there's no evidence that any actual shipments have been made. we're confident that the chinese leadership is considering the provision of playful

equipment. we also don't see that a final decision has been made yet. and we don't see evidence of actual shipments simply from equipment. apart from the us, secretary of state blinker and has also always concerns of a possible deliveries to russia and won't have serious consequences. the beijing, china denies the us allegations saying that washington is the biggest supply in the ukraine conflict may fast, so they will, can count on it. i will, if the u. s. is the biggest source of weaponry for the battlefield in ukraine. i'm going to keep smearing china by falsely claiming that china might offer weapons to russia. this will not only hinder the process of the political settlement of the ukraine crisis, but also to further harm to china, u. s. relations. if we urge the u. s. to stop smearing china and shifting the blame, have to stop fanning the flames and fueling the fight with more weaponry kit you of it. russia and china as to, sorry, nations have complete discretion and sovereignty to decide what they want to do

with their bilateral relations. as including how they want to conduct their bilateral trade relations. and no other country has any legal right to say what china should do. ashanti, as far as china, russian relations are concerned. or therefore, the united states should caribbean mind its own business, stopping supplier weapons to ukraine, and promote peaceful negotiation to be the end, the war angel cray. and rather than following the war e, u cray. now the cia director and the secretary of state bullington, even talk about what li know about what china thinks about. china thinks about nothing but bring the war to an end. so diplomacy and negotiation. why don't they think about what china thinks to contribute to peaceful ending of the war in

ukraine and stop the suffering in europe as a whole? rampaged by israeli settlers in the west bank town of hawaii has reportedly killed at least one palestinians, palestinian and left 98 others wounded. oh wow. wow. i agree. israelis rated the town attaching locals and so i think buildings and cause a blaze. one house was reportedly taught while a palestinian family was still inside, is where the troops arrived shortly off the to push back the attackers and protect civilians as well. the prime minister has condemned the incident on the citizens to avoid taking the law into the hands. this comes to ours also to israelis were killed in a drive by shooting in the same town. we can now speak with him a wired member of the hawaiian municipality joining us on the phone. thank you for

defensive measures neither offensive nor the karen the, the seniors from acting against the israelis. and therefore, israeli actions, i guess they're probably senior about the conference, should have been an important measure because there are really no 2 sides in 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 policy side, the authority and security forces do not control these youngsters coming. patching in israeli 11 driven by cetera, from the area and the shooting at them out here in russia, sunday marks the end of a week long 1st code mostly need some historically an ancient slavic holiday and
