i don't know how long with another problem is criminals smashing ballad boxes and by model footer accreditation systems. beavis machines. analysts say nigeria should have already gone well past this stage and each election process i with andrew thought is have taken the law into their own hands and ideally ruthlessly with election disruptors in parts of nigeria. some of these cases happened before and i'm gonna ship is mill, can arrive to intervene. i

explained. so shit 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 disappointed at my insurance. i've had with the selections. a could have been far, much better. i think it was enough time. i think we do have a legal frame walk that's i came in to please that ever one. look forward to us, been at mitchell impetuous, fully approved electron 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 coalition

process goes even how the elections are concluded. i would be going too far to tingle theory on given are the concerns that we all have about how fins up gone so far. but as i would really be a long 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. dave eat out. see apple jam. that sounds great is up days now a crossing live to out is africa correspondent, con abolla tablet areas right there in the shot. he's in lago swear, it's just after 2 pm now on monday afternoon of always rory here at moscow. i hope you can hear me. i believe there's a, a time delay between our signals here. i also understand you can't hear me that well, but the meantime, if you can hear me, can you bring us up to speed about the latest election results?

rory nigeria, it's a buzz, and i, jerry, i is literally on tenterhooks as stayed by stayed they start to trickle in. and what we understand is that a boy is also a hive of activity, considering some of the disputes that have been laid out by some of the party agents. they do have people contesting the chair of the independent national electoral commission himself saying that they shouldn't be announcing the results of the, of the, of each state of any state. in fact, considering the dispute that have been lawyers against that. now, top of the, of the, of the complaints list as it were, is the fact that people that these results do not have any, any or not among them that they do not really represent what has happened on the ground. people to this day complain about the fact that results when a transmitted live, which was what the beaver system was supposed to encourage. and to enable nigeria

to do the b vs them to you. and i is the bio matrix system that was introduced for this particular election is only ran once. and it's only ren at a, at a localized election states before it was adopted nationwide. this allows them, this allows that they're independent national electoral commission to transmit those results. live and on time, now they have not been able to do that with, with regards to this and the, the i, e. c, the, the independent national electoral commission. officials claim that it varies from a, from a list of issues from issues like being able to connect to the main hub that is in a boucher in order to be able to send such elections. but also those officials themselves have issues with how the commission has ran the election same they were,

they were basically expected to be to be election officials and as well as provide security. because as you know, these particular elections were mod by violence. they were mod by intimidation. they were also marked by disruption, in a sense that in some localities, as we showed you yesterday election material when missing election material was burned. and in some cases, there has been forced re runs as it were. there has been a re election in a state of a b, as we understand from our locals, here in the electoral commission that majority of the local governments in our b r. i re running the elections that happened 2 days ago. they have to have had the elections all over again and not of course, excluding the other issue which has been voted suppression. people are saying that they were not only intimidated, but that their voice was stifled,

that they could not choose. they, i chosen a representative, but here's what we do know from what's come up from the official elections. the state of a ticket has come up with the apc party trumping that number. they got over 200000 votes, and they were followed by the pdp, which got over a 115000 votes. labor barely showed up in the state of the barely amassing 12000, in fact, just over 11300 votes. that they were able to gather and then we move on to another state. and that is the state of ohio in orlando. we have a p c leading again. and it was a major major showing. they got over 369000 votes to the pdp, so the 115000 votes. now mind you, me,

this is are, this is essentially the party of the incumbent. that's the party of mama do bahati . getting close to 370000 votes to the pdp of a car, which was a 115000 rows. the next thing after that would be the state of florida. and enquire, state the abc showed up like in getting some 2 153000 votes to that be 856004 nearly 837000 votes. labor, again, really underscore being there from the populace movement that we have heard of coming into these elections and getting just over 31000 votes. but therein, as we move to the 4th state, which is the state of law, was his way. you find that the voice of the pdp might have really been around the

metropolis as it were, more than it's been nationwide fervor there, the pcp got some 571000 votes, and the pdp got 71. 757-5000 votes. right day there is willie bar party and the party of the that will be showed up. and then that's when he got 508 p 2000 votes. now the thing about winning lay was that no political party as ever one that nigerian local elections by not winning legal state. that's how important lego state is. it's the most popular . they, it is way everybody flocks, for best thought you called on the opportunity for better livelihood. for opportunity in general. this is the party, this is the stage rather than holds most of those of those promises for the great

nigerian populace and winning the state is very, very important. and in a sense label as written history in a sense that they were able to achieve this, even though they do not have such a major lead in others story in other things. but the thing is, story. the thing that must be remembered is that it is written in nigeria as federal law in the federal law that no party, regardless of how many bomb it gets that no single party is able to win the national elections. if it does not. 1 achieve with 25 percent of the votes and at least $24.00 states. that means that means that mr. juno, who as it stands, could win the elective if we were counting only on majority number. but if he does not need that threshold, that allows him to win 25 percent in at least $24.00 states. he will not be

president. and that puts the cool ob about car in the, in the front seat as it were. and it leaves him, even though he's got a lower percentage in terms of numbers, it leaves him in the lead. so much thought to know who really has some work to do, but still has some groundwork to do if it's going to claim any legitimacy with regards to winning this particular election at that it's, it's something that it's only peculiar in nigerian federal law. now, we understand that some states will still be going to count that some states will still be going ahead and conducting the elections all over again, due to a myriad of reasons from disruption to intimidation, to violence. but these electrons do not really has a favorable light on the independent national electron commission. it leaves them

really with more questions than answers as to what was supposed to happen because you have the officials of the electoral commission. the officials themselves think that they did not even get their stipend, that they were basically was to conduct elections on a hungry stomach that they were not given adequate security. that they were supposed to contact the security and conduct the elections in the very same breath . and that they were not good to be able to conduct so much in the face of this myriad of issues that faced up. but that is only one of the, of the issues here that, that faces these elections. and that is, in the con you state that is most prevalent that you find most of those issues. but still, the chairperson of the independent electoral commission continues to,

to count the numbers to count the votes and, and also declare things even though the party asian in that same a brute hollingworth center. i really denying him the opportunity to do just all right, with the latest on the presidential and parliamentary elections in nigeria, ortiz africa correspondent cannibal a. tattler. thank you. we will continue our special coverage all the elections in nigeria here on our team to national throughout the day you will get all the latest updates with or to or india. now where the german chancellor left sholtes travel to india on saturday to try and convince the country's prime minister in a range of moti to side with the west against russia. however, moody stated that india maintained a neutral stance and is ready to,

to contribute to and even mediate a piece process for ending the conflict in ukraine. you see, be shan't be proclaiming since the beginning of the developments in ukraine. india has insisted on resolving this dispute through dialect and diplomacy. india is ready to contribute to any beast process. we have also agreed the 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. clear how did that ard open, how to enjoin sharma, who has more on how sholtes basically sees the chance to blame moscow for the global energy crisis and food and security. while cargo ships carrying grain continue to head mainly to europe and not to the poorest countries that needed the must. there are one, chancellor essentially said that he wants to deeper an economic and political ties

with india. how so on his to day was it or the weekend and this was his 1st with it ever since sir. are taking gum or taking office in 2021. i centrally. both the countries signed some agreements, wind, also solar and dumb are in fact, green hydrogen sector. now this meeting between the gentleman chancello as well as the prime minister of india, and that into worthy it don't please just a day after the anniversary of russia's 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 to member where the green wessel goals the wrestles full of greens from you korean, from unblocked boards. in fact, they were going north to the starving countries of africa, but mainly to europe. in the top, the world is suffering as

a consequence of russia's aggression. a very important question is 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. our last shots also retreated about have commitment of sealing the deal between europe as well as i could look in union as well as in the, the free trade deal. and why do they want to do that? essentially because of course it is going to stranded use ties, we in the indoor specifically june that but more importantly, they believe that by doing so they can father isolate law school. so basically reading in the, we're from russian alms add energy, but it doesn't want that. there's a clear answer to that. no. in fact, as far as 5 minutes to the movie during his visit is concerned. why do you, seth,

of the conflict should be sold with dialogue and diplomacy bought, 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 the finance minister's needs in india. and while the finance sheets had a lot to ponder bod, discuss economic problems. but what really happened was that all that good overshadowed by the west and demands for india to condemn russia and taken a supple stance. and it refused to comment on the incident. the palestinian authorities have condemned of rampage by israeli settlers in the west bank town of water on sunday saying he is ready government. it's fully responsible for the terrorist act. at least one palestinian was killed and more than 100, others were wounded off to violence erupt. that overnight,

we can show you in the footage, dozens of burnt out cars, while multiple homes are also set ablaze and damaged by the settlers. a local say, the israeli army was protecting the attackers and not any palestinians but we are not afraid of them. he is really army protecting the settlers american. but if you try to protect yourself, the army will attack you and spray you with gas law. this is oppression. they are attacking us inside our houses and you have no right to defend yourself. oh god over there. just as you can see, the area here, they forced the doors broke. everything up, they burned warehouses in shops. i ali, they have burned belongings, of our neighbor, and his new b, m, w car, most of the months may god compensate him. as you can see, they have burnt, the facade of the building, among other damage. i believe i was here yesterday when the incident occurred. i didn't know how to escape as they closed immediately, all roads and exits. so i was obliged to stay here. i have locked the door and

after the settlers came to burn, thanks love with it. they set fire to all the wood. i had the car and burnt the area on the board. so as well if that a group of israelis rated the town attacking locals and starting 51 house with a 40 torch while a palestinian family was still inside israeli troops report a arrived shortly after to push back the attackers and protect civilians. is ready . prime minister made a statement condemning the violence and cold on the army to do its job. he also promised to find those guilty ah ah, dismissal. we came home from work as usual,

then it was after evening prayers. suddenly we sold from the main street mob settlers. we heard the sound of things break in and shooting. there was streaming a noise, got louder. we heard women screaming from one or 2 houses. there were 7 or 8 of them. we came to see what was happening, household one resident abdullah, sir. his sky was set ablaze around it. there were 50 or 6, the settlers within, they set it on fire. we picked up some stones and confronted them. the same thing happened to our brother. a bu, ahmad, his son was wounded, his shoulder was injured. the settlers beat him up, women's studies screaming inside their houses because they were alone home, so our residents were broken into the broken windows of the houses that burned some houses completely. they burned every fi. abdulla so scar, they sit at the blaze, there's nothing left. they entered our houses, you see the stone, they threw it in here, they broke everything with them. this is ethnic cleansing,

but thank god the people are resilient. this is all land and we will stay on it. the destruction and chaos. i come just hours off the to israelis were killed in a drive by shooting in that same town. there was gun down and a drive by with a man hunt, as we understand is still on the wave of the suspects. chaos on sunday took place off to the up a summit in which officials from both israel and palestine participated in a joint, a communique. after the summit. both sides reaffirm the importance to deescalate and prevent further violence. they also confirmed the need to end unilateral measures for a period of up to 6 months and included a commitment from israel to stop at any new settlements for 4 months. however, is really prime minister netanyahu, along with other top officials in the country, denies that televi was planning to freeze the expansion of settlements construction and regulation in judea. and samaria will continue according to the

original planning and construction schedule without any changes. there has and will not be any fries. there's no settlement freeze or change in the status quo in the temple mount. and there is no limitation on the i d. f activities in the coming months. israel will authorized 9 outposts, angle approved 9500 new housing units in judea and samaria. what happened in jordan if it happened, will remain in jordan? let's learn more now of course, lots of dr. i'll on lee l. a former director general of a foreign ministry of israel and the former israeli ambassador to south africa, a very warm welcome to you. so thank you very much for joining us here on this program today. it's great to have you with us. i hope you are listening to repeat the report just now. what do you make of netanyahu's words concerning the statement made by israeli officials off to the summit? it seems that the expansion of settlements will continue to sink

this stage. it was last the meanings. anything it is where the government says or the prime minister says, has to be checked on the ground. in this such event wrinkled offspring twisting things a spinning it. the only thing that matters is what's going on on the ground and all that wrong from what we see around us. things are going on both settlements, balls that will issue is the outcome is that the population in the west a growing will. and as you saw yesterday, my becoming will is so i see the world to judge is we're only speeds lot on its words. what's the word? 11 official use,

the word massacre. we've heard the word rampage being used to describe the violence, as you said in the past 24 hours and the overnight hours of all these people essentially storming streets and burning down buildings and burning an awful lot of cars. what your expectations are for the immediate few days. do you think it's going to get worse? this'll i'm ashamed to be in this really. this was done in the name of for the jewish people, i'm ashamed to be jewish. these are barbaric. it is that have nothing to do with the country. i grew up in again i represented that brought it in, i believe. so this is a huge shock for us. all of them is to future developments. i think further violence is unavoidable. and you know, they usually the government was warmed many, many times by the way,

and by the international community, by opposition inside these, right? this occupation cannot go on forever. and then i'm so sad to see that these warnings all materializing and the violence is there. and becoming daily in able to watch dr. layla, i appreciate you joining us here on the program today. and i also appreciate you being forthcoming with such straight comments here on the program and thank you for your time as well. before i, before i get into my next question, i wanted to ask you, we had reports that in the past 24 hours, this overnight violence, we had reports that, that the settlers who were burning and rampaging some people say they were being protected by the military there by the israeli military, i wanted to ask you what, when it comes to this latest bout of violence homes torched caused torch over a 100 people wounded. is there

a group behind the settlers that is pushing this agenda right now, because it seems that there's been a spike in emotions and confrontation? sure, the rule behind the settlers on the overall, i'm not speaking only on that yesterday. the group behind the st. louis is that he's really government the easily government is ministers, a settlers. this is really government look at the coalition agreement, is committed, committed to expanding settlements. it could mean that even to enhance the annexation of zone see. so what you saw yesterday night and what we gone settlers ah manes. 3 is read. it smoke a lot, thinks it's to day people who are directly connected to the israeli government.

and they're blending should be on 1st of all their organizations and the mayor's over that. but also on ministers in day is really government will not say to see if these developments including yesterday and then ah, i would even say here and there. why happy to see totally, i'll what about the united states? we understand that washington was i was also involved in the negotiations in jordan of, of course, washington is frequently spoken about the importance of building piece in the region. what, what do you think washington's role is the, i guess in the mediation of his conflict and which side are they more likely to lean towards? you thank. this is no secret. the united states republicans or democrats are leaning strongly with. and those of us will be leaving peace then for the settlers, if we will. if they go on roy,

the chairs will be for disappointed by and he's a ministration. is they sometimes say the correct words, but when it comes to putting pressure on these when the government that's very, very reluctant to do and i think a nobody here in the shrinking these camps is holes from the united states anymore . totally el, i've only got time for one last question, but it's so good to happy with us before i let you go. what do you think motivates netanyahu's actions and statements? is it possible that an yahoo is policies are an accurate reflection of public opinion in israel? i see you soon thinking girls of the coalition looking them off, let me out to the right of left on the out.
