another problem is criminals snatching ballad boxes and by model footer accreditation systems. beaver's machines. analysts say nigeria should have already gone well past this stage and it's election process. i with angry thought is have taken the law into their own hands and ideally ruthlessly with election disruptors in parts of nigeria. some of these cases happen before and i'm gonna ship is mill, can arrive to intervene. i

accident. so she had concerns over the transparency of the elections, the delays in a deployment of election officials and materials, and in the light of the huge tom out of waters. i'm has raised 30 concerns. i'm disappointment at my journey, have had with the selections. he could have been far, much better. i think it was enough time. i think we do have a legal framework that came into place that everyone looked forward to has been a major impetus for improved electron, an organization and management. and i think that he hasn't like to leave that as expected. i think we have to watch to see how the collision process goes even how the elections are concluded. i would be going too far to think of iran, given a concerns that we all have about how things have gone so far. but as i would really be a lot of time to talk about the room, in spite of the difficulties nigerians a trying to stay optimistic as the patiently

a we still action results and i know features are trying to resolve the problems balloon. david out see apple j o merging day in lagos, reports of biased by on and gum, and disrupted the elections with attackers arriving on motorcycles. i'm firing shots intimidate voters, violence in the region called further obstacles for the election process. while in the eastern state of bono boca romulus since injured 5 people in attack, the will of in causing their balance for the 3 main contenders. former ruling party governor bola met to new booth, former vice president and leader of the people's democratic party. i seek who i will, bucher and the youngest contend contender, former governor, and no money of the labor party, peter obee whose gaining popularity among young people. each of them represents a different region of the country, different tribe and appeals to

a varied electorate. over $90000000.00 people were registered to vote during the elections with a total of 18 presidential candidates to choose from. parliamentary elections also took place in the country with over $1000.00 running for the $109.00 seats in senate. another 3000 vying for the 360 seats in the house of representatives, i think was all kind of resolved the night june elections hit on all t throughout the day will keep you updated on all the dates. there's downtown are centers now to the middle east where policy authorities have strongly condemned a rampage by his ready settlers in the west bank town of water saying these ready government is fully responsible for conducting the terrorist attack. at least one

pass dean has been killed a more than a 100. others were left wounded. also violence ruptured the night. hulu . mm. a group of israel is rated. that's how it's i think local, i'm settling. i think building van called the place. one house was ruefully, tools want to pass in from the student side is where the troops apparently arrive shortly after the push back the it's active, i'm could take civilian employment and made a statement condemning the violence and pulled for the all me to do its job. he has also promised to find the effective, the destruction and chaos come just hours often to his res will feel in

a drive by shooting in the same town. he spoke to a proceeding teacher who witnessed the crisis i've is currently in the town. to us is very difficult in our town because many, all settings are small on 400 sectors of us and many, many houses and many. deborah hist for the people in toronto recently was also a link to house is it's why into can people here shooting them attacking our program is many things. it is difficult to go out now when. meanwhile, there are also reports of fresh crashes between parsons and is there a trip in the suburbs of jerusalem? ah, explosions were a full hit at the show of thought. refugee camp checked one in east jerusalem,

but led the idea allegedly opening fire at the site. the new wave of violence comes as it is really i'm passing authorities met in jordan for a one day submits aimed at curb, in the recent supply contentions last wednesday. and i d. f. raid killed at least 11 palestinians and left more than $100.00 injured and the occupied west bank city opened the blues. local director of the red crescent branded the incident. a massacre. quoting his assist 6, released by the part of the in helmand fairly 65 post students, including 13 children, been killed since january. the menissi describe this as the bloodiest ever start of the year for the people of palestine in decades. we spoke to is really generous, ample alice amir or him, who says the latest crashes just perpetrates. the cycle of once

a cycle of violence has become such a cliche, but unfortunately it is true because each incident is getting another one and not their revenge action or an action to fall. another attack and obviously no defensive measures neither offensive nor did karen's keeps the full the stimulus from acting against israelis and therefore, israeli actions against the palestinians. the tragedy is that everyone knows how the peace process should be relaunched via talks, at least between our president abbas and whoever these really prime minister happens to be. but there is no willingness, especially on these really side to really large these dogs. because down the road,

obviously, that would have to be concessions. they would have to be withdrawn from territories . there will have to be an issue of settlers and of settlements. they don't want to pay the price of fees and therefore they would rather have these incidents go on and on forever. now to the korean conflict, multiple joy, 5000 reported in the early hours of monday morning in several ukrainian regions explosions were heard in the capital q as well as sharon. it's key. it's omega and churney go reasons. this comes, i made ongoing bottles oven on the dunbar. front lines are these egos done of reports from the russian republic of the front and the la guns republic presents the ultimate challenge in military mass, icy country roads turn to swampy mud and freeze again in a span of hours. low lands are covered with fog, down toes and snow falls,

impede visibility, paralyzing the work of sports, his and anti tank crews. all this and move has to be factored into the gargantuan equation by both sides. russia planning, it's advance and ukraine holding defensive lines. for these grad walker launches can hit targets up to 40 kilometers away. not only does this range provide relative safety, but also flexibility in picking the best firing position, with the best conditions. with

these grad crews will they make an immediate escape? very often here in the don't bass. everything that separates you between life and death is just minutes. ukrainian forces can be very precise and very quick with return fire. even with grown cameras, blinded by weather rushes, command centers packed plenty of intelligence data. the frontline is vast, but there's only a handful of places where a key forces have developed a habit of masking their equipment at about a month in tune of work intensively. we have multiple goals. we constantly pushed the enemy were satisfied with our results. although we hit both infantry and ukrainian military equipment order, russia has amassed a powerful fire fist here and is now probing ukraine's defenses. heave troops in

turns scatter their perimeters with hundreds of mines. a clear sign that they've abandoned hopes they once cherished to deal another blow to the russian army. here, i'm a good done of reporting from the dumbass artsy during a meeting with indian prime as an a render modi german chancellor. so sees the chance of blame moscow for global energy and food problems. while modi claimed india is ready to contribute and, and mediate in any piece process you see, be shan't be for korea me. since the beginning of the developments in ukraine, india has insisted on resolving this dispute through dialogue and diplomacy. you, india is ready to contribute to any beast process. we have also agreed that reform of multilateral institutions is necessary to reflect global realities in a better way. this is evident from our active participation within the g for to

reform the un security council. it's a clear so for us to live now to our teeth correspondent london sharma rendered that to see what more can you tell us about the german chances visit to india? well, the german chancellor essentially said that he wants to deepen economic and political ties with india. i'll so on his to day was it or the weekend and this was his 1st wizard ever since sir. are taking gun or taking office in 2021. i centrally both the countries signed some agreements, wind all saw solar and dumb are in fact, green hydrogen sector. now this meeting between the german chancellor as well as the prime minister of india and adding to more the it dog please. just a day after the anniversary of russia offensive in ukraine. now the german chancellor says that the conflict is hurting developing countries and that it's

also causing gar fuel as well as food shortages in these countries. but remember, where are all the green wessel rowing the wrestles full of greens that are in fact are going out of the unblocked boards of ukraine. they're all going more sleet to europe and not the solving countries of africa. but looks like the chancellor forgot about that in the tartan, the world is suffering as a consequence of russia's aggression, a very important question of securing the supply of food and energy. we have to make sure that countries in asia, africa, and america not too strongly and negatively impacted by the terrible war of aggression that russia started against ukraine here. and that the impact is not too negative for them. supply shortages is thus the one priority of our work towards also reiterated about hazel e, about his commitment or ceiling, the deal between europe as well as a european union, as well as india,

the free trade deal. and why do they want to do that? does a sensually because of course a it is going to strengthen our use ties with in the indoor specifically june. but more importantly, they believe that by doing saw is they can father rightfully ma, scores basically winning india away from russian alms add energy. but it doesn't want that. there's a clear answer to that. no. in fact, as far as from ministers in the movie during his, with his consent. why do you said that the conflict should be sold with dialogue and diplomacy? but, you know, keeping in line with the countries approach to now, he in fact, refrain from saying anything against russia now. meanwhile, last week there was also a g. 20 of finance ministers need in india. and while the finance sheets have a lot to ponder bod, discuss economic problems. but what really happened was that all of that got

overshadowed by the west and demands for india to condemn russia. now, you know, southern stance and it's refused to comment on the incident on john that's great answer. i joining us this is this morning. was the against and know that things are going to be time right. and indian political, i'm a foreign policy expert says new denny stands with a peaceful settlement for all disputes and will side with the west and its political stance progress. 10 countries have been trying this for a long, long time now. and they have tried in the past also, and they have tried to run the game in around bank lou meeting in india, you know. and in my understanding, it is a part and parcel of diplomacy to get her countries to their side, to and nato and west has been trying to us for love. but as our prime minister has

categorically, say it in the past also. and we have once again, retail rate of this that india is not going to side with any group or read amy country as such. we stand about piece and we stand all peaceful settlement up. all disputes are such and mean that whatever i help is needed from india for and arriving at this peaceful solution. india would be very, very happy to do this. 20 years ago to this day, raso called for the disarming of iraq's ballistic of a peaceful means, se would veto any un resolution for the use of military force. despite that the u. s. as allies launch an invasion that destroyed the country coming out of thousands of civilians is our special coverage of u. s. war of terror in iraq. 20 years on at this hour,

american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great. a thing we with with a took just over one month for the u. s. allies shock an old campaign to

take control of baghdad, however, us soups only officially withdrew in 2011. over those years, many families have been shattered. i'm the young people's aspirations for the future will left in ruins. oh, i was a teenager in the tardy area. there was an army training camp and weapons depots and the sides was subjected to heavy bombardment by merican forces. we were teenagers and we were playing football not caring about the shelling a sometimes you would have to hide one date, there was a huge explosion. we did not know that a bomb had fallen on us. 3 children were lying dead near me, and i remember that the person who was holding the bull died instantly of me, but i was injured in 2000 sakes. while i was playing. i have a shooting and then suddenly a mortar landed near me. i was only a child of the time. i was injured in 2008 when i was just riding my bicycle when suddenly i was spinning. i landed on my back and could see my entire stomach hopin

and intestines on the ground. ah o the number of iraqi martyrs who were killed by american forces and car bombs is nearly 250000. the injured are more than 500000. what did they do to deserve this? what has been achieved by invading iraq under the pretext of having weapons of mass destruction? where are those weapons of mass destruction? oh, my life got worse. i left school, i couldn't walk and my abdomen was cut open. life weiss, my life is over as i can't even get a job my life end and and my future was lost. this destroyed my mother and father especially badly. and after a while they died. one after the other,

after i lost my foot, the injury affected my life in a major way. i told myself my life is over. i was just a teenager. how would i live like this? you would ever want to marry me? oh, oh. oh. the murder and destruction of the iraqi people is a genocide perpetrated by us forces the entry of isis and the further killing of iraqi people. and the security forces are all because of americans. we have evidence and certified documents that prove the u. s. bombed and iraqi police patrol simply for being in an area controlled by the u. s. o. with a, you know,

gets any compensation even though i submitted all the required documents, only receive social welfare payments amounted to a $170000.00 dina's which is completely useless for so presumably the iraqi government, how to dr. required measure and compensate the wounded at least financially considering they haven't even made any moral apologies. oh, america did not compensate the iraqi people for even one dean or of it's bombings, which destroyed and humiliated the people of iraq all injuries have been documented . and the united states knows this. unfortunately, the killing and blood shedding of iraqi people continues. there is no deterring me . 2003 was the only american montville horizon against iraq back in 1990 iraq face a di, economic situation office wall with neighboring iran. then present southern his same blamed all the arab states for over production of oil that reduced energy prices and shrank iraqi annual excell income. my billions of dollars are the same

time back that a huge coit of stealing is oil from the boarder regence. now baghdad, also assisted quite should council iraq. he bets now after the failure of the iraq, tall and quaint talks. baghdad invaded its neighbor and occupied it for 2 days. having overwhelming the military superior superiority the global him, and he called on iraq to withdraw its troops with bagdad, ignoring the warnings in 2 days, then you as president bush senior, sanctioned the desert storm operations against iraq. in one month, the coalition liberated kuwait and a peace treaty was signed with by that. as a result of the bowman's campaign, about 3000 iraqi civilians are estimated to have been killed. hundreds of us soldiers and thousands of iraq. it should also lost their lives during the war. my

colleague, roy, sushi spoke to desert storm veteran daniel bosworth. compare that the 2 military campaigns against iraq. in 199091. we had all the military equipment soldiers. we were stopped at the border of iraq. they let saddam hussein stay in power to keep the region stable. right? because you have iran, iraq, i believe in 1991, had the 4th largest military. but then why in 2003, they wanted to take him out of power. when they know it's going to open a vacuum. but was saddam hussein a direct threat now to the united states? no, was he a direct threat to the people of the united states? no, in my opinion, i don't believe so. why do you think, daniel, that america, england and some of the nato allies? why do you think they chose the middle east?

one i believe oil i and to i believe to make the middle east unstable. there are certain people who like to control through fear. and if you make to the middle east, unstable, and then you, you keep pushing the narrative terrorists roof. i believe this is a way that they're able to control the people with fear and to be able to have the opportunity to invade other countries. and do you think though, do you think that, you know, you said the oil was so important for going into iraq d ready thing oil. was that important for going in know, in the year 2000 there were 7 countries who did not join the us central bank and look, 2001. afghanistan, 2003, iraq,

2011, libya and syria. then off of that. yeah, he just, you know, just makes me think that is a motive for invading a country. you mentioned these countries here who essentially got invaded over the past 20 odd years. general wesley clark near forced our general that he, he came out, he actually started talking publicly about this didn't he said i, i came up, a commander came into my office one day through a stack of papers on my table and said, we're going to me evading 5 countries and 7 years or something like that, wasn't it? right. so you know the story as well. i briefly but it's interesting for me because 911 happened. we knew it was osama bin laden and al qaeda in afghanistan. we started in afghanistan, 2001, and then we switch to iraq. that's a big question that i believe american citizens who live in

nato ally, countries. you know, we need to start asking questions. why watch our special coverage? oh, the anniversary throughout the day i'm be on here on our team. national you can find more details on the human, an economic costs of the attack on iraq on our website r t dot com. they tend ah well that i was of this new though. it's great, but you joined us. we'll be back with the top of the hour with more headlines they say to ah ah,

i was standing in an alley smoking a joint one day and a man came up to me and pulled a joint from my mouth and he said, don't you know that that's what the capitalists and the jews want you to do. to keep you docile. we were violent torture, those people because we believe that were the superior race. we were here 1st and this is our pantry, guns ammo, still too dark. martin catching violence. justice prerequisite to enter or exit free. walked off like i could see this look in his face. i thought it fear like he feared me. being part of that movement, i got to feel a sense of power. when i felt powerless, i got attention when i'd felt invisible and accepted when i felt long, we had a strategy we want.
