belief systems ology are removed, it was very impactful. when someone finally came along with no fear, no judgement, you heard my story did nothing to challenge with a box that done vo, to intimidation my of the presidential and parliamentary elections in africa, largest nation nigeria. also this out. oh wow. is really central is way the palestinian town a wire. i 2nd buildings in cars on fire, reportedly killing one person and leaving 98 wounded. this comes off like deadly drive by shooting of these re lease on sunday or freedom and peace is only possible. you feed your move in be permanently from america. 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 liberal weapons to ukraine, not one of the messages as crowds protest outside ramstein at faith in germany, following a weekend of multiple anti war demonstrations across europe, plus a revenue this because can't take anything. i don't think here in russia, people are celebrating the end all the week long festival called the martinique, which precedes the orthodox christie and at great length with the international, with the very latest world news out data. very warm welcome to you. we start the,

our with the general elections in nigeria where vote counting is under way to choose the next leader on parliament of africa, most populous nation. we're bringing you our special coverage of one of the continents. most significant political events. thing or polling stations was supposed to close on saturday, then immediately transmit the counts as soon as they were tallied. but so far, the electoral commission has only published results from around a quarter of them, as amid reports of ballads box theft and the tax by armed individuals, africa, correspondence, corolla, toddler visits, different polling stations across the states of logos. a

look, i don't know how long with this numerous incident flag 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 as being stolen. it's got 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 the bottom of the state, for instance, we had, but one who, you know, you know, been 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 then by it's mantra that these elections were credible that they were fe. 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 late to saved by and the police are wanting to view us. it is a bit disturbing. let's take a look i

and that is the summer and 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 elections 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 position where the press conference is 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 state in nigeria and the coalition 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, and that's how important it is and such as 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 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 acceptable relax and 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 causing, causing mayhem 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 who have woodson, they did the boys here. so people lined up here too before i came by the day of points everything. but i did not see the pupil that these votes him before. where boys night came on scot that everything there was no votes enough that the boy knew. and this is just some of the incidents that have happened throughout the country. as people went to cast their votes,

others were they to make sure. busy the intimidate that voice of freedom, that this is another vandalized area where the materials were another thing about nigeria that they have a lot of a lot of stops where, where in maybe in one street you could find as many as 567 votes, him locations, this was part of an all history that effort to try and stifle the voice of would be voters. nigeria, the electoral commission, also put voting on hold at 141 polling stations and by elsa state on saturday before resuming the process on sunday. voting was temporarily suspended in the state of an umbrella. the regions of albia emo and cabby also faced delays. 3 districts in ido state to have seen elections postponed until the 11th of march. well, meanwhile in abbey, a state a fresh vote is scheduled on monday in several local government areas according to

election officials. his how yaga africa, the country's launched, election monitoring body has commented on the situation this week. we are the look musicians kind of as you go. because it gets to the point where 2 sides of the shop to move back. i just got to talk to them with confidence and i that go to how diverse was to court the electron commission to accounts with out. so we have off, i know you're right. what you do there on to do that? yes, his shots were election to look yesterday. however, many other parts of the country, the election process is said to have gone smoothly, according to vote, as he described their experiences. you see the initial was very okay. so 3 i'll say, because nobody quite a liquids

to be taken care of since results are now coming in from parts of the country where the voting was not disrupted in a t t states. the candidate of the old progressives congress bowler to new booth has been formally declared the winner of the presidential race. we spoke with economists that type f, a c, y, who shed his take on how nigeria new leadership could stall the country's economic crisis. a lot of the money that should be due to godson and when are you talking about taxes, duties, raised fees, fines or whatever you end up in people's pockets out in a bucket of nance that to run ah, don't run places within the society which the government mr. clark. mr. callback id, so ms. powers to generate the funds and generate the income. and so we were able to

generate the income that we can do a bigger budget. and then he flavin borrowing any has to go to specific developmental ah areas. i talk about cisco policy, it's about the facts and spend and you raised the money. what do you spend them on? so i don't probably, bloomberg will probably be surprised if we get, if we have an opportunity to get a better thing, can people into office what we can do? so however, that also has to do with how the new government, whoever comes in and manages to be of your alisha, are people. for example, armanteros one country where you, you don't get find full, my speeding may run. i don't think there's any speed limits anyway. my jr, where you go abroad and people actually get, find and of many makes money from that. and natalie makes money from that, yoga my society as well. and so you, so what we need to do is we meet a leader that can stand his ground and this as the cascade down the line. when a country is of them ised the got men makes money and,

and the people also are comfortable. so i believe strongly, i me from what i know, and i, i interact with some of the ministries down here that the fiscal crisis can be fixed. in fact, in a spectacular way that even raise the money from we beam based on the interactions on the velocity of transactions in the country, which i'll raise a lot of money in here. but if you, we have to money the survival aspect. and also we have to let the people know in real time what their money's or their taxes are being used for. i believe our people were corporate and i'm, i've always been an advocate of like them or just because i look, the budget copies are used to be about a $100.00 per person per year. that's the federal budget, $300.00, which is what it said for agriculture, full for education, for defense, for information, for everything because of the interventions of people like us. it's gone up to about $240.00 to $50.00 per annum, which is still not good enough in europe,

but budget per capita starts from about 10000 dollars, 20000 dollars on, on the federal level. if we could move last week about $2000.00, perhaps will them be on our way? so i believe that a fiscal problem can be solved is going to be difficult, but disposable. and watch our coverage of the nigerian elections. hey on our team throughout the day. will keep you fully updated on all the latest news. my protest has been held at one thing at base in germany, where hundreds of people have gathered calling for an end to u. s. military influence over the country and a host of fed, the arm supplies to ukraine, his while some of the protesters had to say. so these are so the german, they deliver, so weapons. so this, so this is war, this was not oh,

freedom and peace is only possible if you germans who served independently from america. it's 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, most all goes along be done once our country to be free again, us as well aware what i'm talking about a community. we're 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 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 announced abrams m on tags 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. tolvine huffman one to biden has signed contracts with dogs companies to supply ukraine with weapons for many years. the 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 doubting the des 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 interests 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 a terrible escalation and we don't know where it will take us. sending arms does not help us achieve peace, european or other things that they are doing. no, no luther books. we progress with the see for a or who should 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 and ukraine in favor of peace around page by israeli settlers in the west bank town of hawaii. has reportedly killed at least one palace city, and left 98 others wounded. wow . the group in these railways rated the town and talking locals,

inserting buildings in cars ablaze. one house was reportedly torched, while a palestinian family was still inside is ready. troops arrived shortly after to push back the attack is unprotected civilians. prime minister has condensed the incident and the defense to avoid taking the law into their own hands. well this comes to our office who is really were killed in a drive by shooting in the same town. now we can speak to the badger. oh de, a local teacher who's now inside, who are a thank you so much for joining us. all the program this evening. what can you tell us about the israeli rate in the current situation in the town? at the moment? yes and no, no. the situation is that a difficult out of town because many or such a small town for a us or us. and they've been many, many houses and ready to go. but it is for the people in

a lot more than 300 cause they, they've gotten to it more than 100 piece continue. we understand at least one person has reportedly been killed and 98 wounded. i want to take on those numbers. did a sound right to you that there is a person who was here in a. ready ignatius, which was a water, is sent to 7 years old. he's trying to protect his house, and the settlers shot him dead. i was say, the current situation on the streets right now, if the situation intensifying and what exactly is being done to ensure security of people in the town that is into security now, because because the,

the so does we didn't, i didn't get us go out to see, will come in and they said there was also a link to house is it's why in token people here shooting them attacking, you know, what is meant many things it is difficult to go out. now do you feel safe in your home right now? no. it is, we are unsafe now because of the situation now. and the situation is not too difficult now. now, because i saw jose, the on the set, the no and the streets. they took the certainly a streets, but the soldiers auto lamp and every street and a message from a spouse prime minister is that a citizen should avoid taking the law into their own hands. them. what do you make

of the government's response so far? there the good is that there was to take it there the event of that that hands, but they did then do it. this is the crimes by bending. our house is by bending over is here by killing. by joining people, they are more 100, more than 100, the people were injured. and the ashes attention is hopping on the rice in recent weeks. and how do you see things going from best points? now this is very difficult and if they didn't for but in the settlers from doing the crimes, the situation will,

will be very difficult. and then the situation also also becomes dangerous for both of our our service has been a senior and they said that was them since we've been speaking to a. 5 local teacher from the west bank city of hawaii. thank you very much for your time. really appreciate it. thank you. thank you would come anytime ah ah. well, meanwhile, there are also reports a fresh class. it clashes between palestinians and israelis. troops in the suburbs of jerusalem, idea forces have allegedly attacked refugee camp. there are joining us from jerusalem. now is a thought activist at some cynita law way. thank you very much for joining us on the program. what can you tell us about the situation at the moment when i say

a law and they are doing massive boundaries against a i was unfortunately on the side looking and i was wondering whether there was a population, civilians who are angry and i said the action i have been talking to, they would have opened on every one of these people and we could have ended with the army and does not have a city and he's in very

and he's very sorry for their private security company for the fact that he's not there and there was a low, he just did that. and then we could see more stuff with being her during tonight because then the number of the, it's very big. i'm continuing that on the more of an issue of water. this comes at the same time that there was somebody that was trying to be. ready in calming the situation of the americans, a naive and they have low balance and all the stuff that a student isn't broken. it's not that they continue providing

isn't with, in the occupation, look, look about how they are dealing with you. and for example, they have very aggressive against russia, and at the same time they are very given a they have, they are doing good pick and choose with a lot the way that it as if they are, they all know it, they, on the people, the whole world and this is what's, what's a creating the problem is it's without a one hour, one day will not. but the americans are given all the support for this patient to

continue day by day, and to be more aggressive. and personally it tomorrow will throw an atomic bomb over or jennifer, i mentioned we do not think they will continue to kiss their learning is that they continue to, to provide in unity. and so, and it was, this is that they don't care about human being. they don't care about it. all they care is about it. and all that is smoking, they already get, i'm out who finds their campaigns in the election campaigns and here they different jewish lobby is working and they bought a a lead. he, paul, can i see in the way they are managing the work they think they, on the way,

i think they can say tension the boiling, i've read them. i mean what, how do you feel about these ready governments response? well, is there any government? is this well, because of the wrong policy, it is very like we are government and there are, there are presenting all who are now controlling this this. ready a government and we have, you said, for example, to be one of the extreme right. we are a member of the cabinet minister of it is a national security. and he has said what has happened in out there and he doesn't care about what has happened. and he continues with the minister of,

of treasury. they are continuing with getting more and evacuating and the motion on a studio. and they're doing a continuing to displacement opinions because for them, this is the green line. that is it, but i think there was a problem for them all going on with the project simply and they know they want to put us in and send them to jo. this is that, and we will continue to suffer from this government or needs to come without an interference or do i mean thanks for joining us on a program. we do appreciate your, your insight into the mass injuries and that was fun to meet allowing. thank you.
