here among the list of the 1st. this is the 1st time a presidential candidate has lost his home state and still went on to be declared. the winner of the elections less than 2. also, among the many folks also lost the f. c t. that's the federal capital territory of nigeria that a boucher and he did not pause the mazda, which is written in federal law, which says that a candidate must achieve more than 25 percent of the votes being attained in the f. c t. that's the estate of a boucher and he failed on that score. even though he did mazda, the other part of the pro vsl,

1:07 am
a joint press conference saying that they do not believe that there was anything free or transparent about these results. but miss the didn't. who said it at the beginning of the primaries running into these elections, that now is election slogan actually was that this is my turn to be president. and he was really affirming a call that he had made that he was very hard for me. the mom ado hardy to become president and only on his 3rd take at the cherry as it were. and now what's his turn to become president? and how that has come to be is quite extraordinary. missed that tenable. it is becoming resident incumbent calling on his opposition parties to come and build on nigeria as a victory so far that they have
1:08 am
a long way to go. but more than that that they have a single country to work for. they have a single nigeria, and now it's not the time to separate but the time to come together in the spirit of one nation. that is nigeria. now this will set the tone not only what west africa nigeria is a b him in. in regards to is waiting in this part of the continent, but nigeria is the lead on the continent. and this set of election results says the tone not only for the west, but for the continent as a whole are more. i kind of a great deal into thanks a lot for brings of think i will keep an eye on nigeria for sure. it's interesting how things are finding out. thanks again for your time. so opinions about the voting results were divided, not only among the candidates,
1:09 am
but also among those who voted. we heard from local buses. she did hear all of the little because there are so many it is in the little dark. this is all on both watching. this is one of the unit. busy right, if it visual is not going to go out, so 70 percent of the selection is good. so maybe 15 percent or less than mr. boy, because that you cannot call for consultation what he said. but what we are saying now is if does any mistake, there was no party or anybody that you didn't class i. so i was looking to go to court. well my says i did, i next. he said it not allow them to upload is nothing to sound like they just go to thank you. thank you. i'll try to, i live in the me that i mean not to go. so it's better if not what the, what i thought is for me, when i get out, be able to, we say silly parliamentary canaday if only opposition people's democratic party says that just like an any competition are always going to be winners and losers.
1:10 am
let me said is especially i am not in agreement, it is a one way. so lose this election is do we see progress from walking out in a way? we can we don't watch it on our before. well, when election, we are who live party last under the who we are really national. where would be president law states who really we are really national where the like just the like just economy. the biggest is, was laws with got a new political so to me, to my this is leshawn east,
1:11 am
at least for the semester. thank you. and we, we got, we got to go from there. so in the vegas national turn out for 9 years election of the odd c will make sure you didn't miss any of the developments on there and online. but i say on the continent, a former deputy prime as of zimbabwe, his last south us positions the interject. thing in the foreign alley, current policies of neighboring south africa, we reject with the contempt that it deserves the shameful, despicable us interference and african foreign policy. and commercial diplomacy formulation. ideally, we must unite as africans and then see global partners as a block of $1300000000.00 people with a collective gdp of $2.00 trillion dollars,
1:12 am
not as fragmented african countries. those covers came a response to the u. s. congress introducing a resolution condemning south f as recently exercises with china and russia. the reverse bill calls on the button minimization to demand that south africa publicly opposed russia's role in the ukraine conflict. the legislation also seeks a thorough review of bilateral relations quote, in light of south africans, government actions. little as an commentator, jackie shante says, washington would be hypocritical, condemned south. i've has drilled with russia and china, and the us has his own military place is all across the african continent. at the united states says south africa as its own exclusive sphere influence south nation has been going. retrieval, africa,
1:13 am
basha and china. us may be seen as a decline. yampa world, empire jets. somehow it is bigger and irrelevant. isn't useless. feels that it was still in some ways to try and reclaim it. suppose at home on the politics of sat africa, the united states does not have the right to, to disrupt her to interfere with people with its territory. so what breach of america? 2, palm suits, africa friendly exercising. it's so great democratic guides, whedon americans. so address in setting up military base, of course, the region of sub saharan africa and the entire continent as say with us used now as the country is given itself a great big path on the back. st has made quote,
1:14 am
a tremendous difference was a 2 man town aid tool, tanya, and here's what a washington top debra, and they've been come to say on the matter. the management crisis in yemen remains an issue where our collective action has made and can continue to make a tremendous difference. in 2022, the united states provided nearly $1100000000.00 and humanitarian assistance to yemen. the largest u. s. contribution to the country since the conflict began. we encourage everyone, especially those in the region to join us in giving generously the international community best to all we can to help and this war because for millions of families, our support is a matter of life or death. but money isn't the only thing washington has been sending in connection with the year many crises since the thought of the continent . almost a quarter of all us arms export of gone to saudi arabia, which is leading immensely operation against him. and he forces the white house
1:15 am
reported he blocked legislation that would have stopped those sales last year. we'll discuss the issue with the executive director of the will, the beyond war movement. and also a yet many journalists. it's not fair to see the united states talking about the problems that humans are facing. the united states is a problem itself. they have been selling the weapons, including miss hahn's to so saudi arabia and its allies in the region to pump the many people. me personally in my neighborhood, has been bombed by saudi arabia using american missiles. you can't even compare what has been paid to the many people during the 80s of all to what has been paid to the ukrainians during the conflict. we have only the clumps of what the westerns are paying to help other countries. this is a conflict that's been created and has been exacerbated and continued by the us
1:16 am
government. not just with the drone killings and not just with the weapons to saudi arabia, but also through u. s. participation in the war, candidate biden was going to end the war and the weapons supplies, and treat saudi arabia as a pariah state. now it's now it's almost, you know, an act of betrayal to the democratic party to remember that as so, you know, we have a great deal to look for in terms of, of, of humanitarianism i and the united states is not the leading supplier of humanitarian aid to the world, that is why the us phrase is age to you, haven't humanitarian organizations all found in the law of a what they say is the under funding of the charity program for the country, the you and have fallen short by around 3 quarters of its $4000000000.00 target for donations this year with humanitarian groups condemning the show full as
1:17 am
disgraceful the international community today. so it has abandoned yemen at this crucial cross roads with a mayor quarter of the amount needed to support the millions of yemenis here require urgent assistance. this is woefully inadequate and gives the signal that some humans a less valuable than others. the consequences of this disgraceful shortfall and 8 will undoubtedly be dire for the people of yemen. for a year man has been suffering from a humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing comp. ruth, over 21000000 people are believed have been in dire need of 8th, 8 of them more than 2000000 children. on the brink of starvation and almost 18000000 years is done have access to safe, clean drinking water. we spoke to the regional fo further for the international committee of the red cross, who says that the situation is getting worse on a daily basis. a few months ago,
1:18 am
i visited yemen for the 1st time in my humanitarian career. and let me tell you that the imagery of all human suffering i've seen there will haunt me forever. this was not thing like i've seen before in my humanitarian career. i've seen families of 6 and more surviving daily on a too low. so breads are dipped in water and this was their diet that including other imagery that was that the word should dirt should not ignore and look away from today. the reality in yemen is that 3030000000 people are struggling not only with an ongoing conflict with a nor clear resolution in view, but also crumbling vital infrastructure. limited access to all the basic needs, including food, water, health, electricity, a very intense human economy. situation that is affecting the livelihood and every corner in yemen. a fun for sure to dress is not a situation that only the international red cross is flagging. this is
1:19 am
a reality for all humanitarian actors, which makes the situation even extra dangerous. just to give you an example, 2021 pledge in a number for a human 8 operation collectively reached only 50 percent to day 27 percent of it was reached. so it is a pattern that has been happening for the last few years and is impacting all humanitarian actors, pushing them to cut their programming to cut their activities. and the price is being paid by the millions of your money that really are relying today on these activities to be able to access the most basic of the, of the services. which means that more yamini swirled sleep hungry to nights r 2 and more children will not be able to go to school. more women will not be able to deliver in a, in hospitals to access life season health care. this is the reality of 8 fonts
1:20 am
shortages in another middle east and country in dire need of humanitarian assistance is syria, the hardships in june for them years of civil war. there have been compounded by the devastation from massive earthquakes that struck the region last month. but where some powers of oppose sending much needed aid to the countries official government. are these vogue with an adviser to a serious president about the situation the west. they didn't talk about city up because the west did not want to accept press any human empathy towards the cillian. and this is really disgraceful for the west. so they only talk about cilia if they want to talk about chemical weapons or about terrorist or about something negative about syria. but they were not civilized enough to support syria until
1:21 am
talk about a catastrophe that has befallen the silly and people this shows me that they are racist they're, they're not a humanitarian. they are racist because if this catastrophe has happened in any anglo saxon country, they will not behave in the same way. they behave in the same disgraceful way they behave towards syria. so what is assuring me personally, is that despite 12 years war or they were not able to strike at the root of our living together of our being one people without any necessity or religion or sect, able to differentiate between sit and people. and i think this is extremely important because this is the identity of syria. and this is why cereal lasted for 10000 years because it's people always got together as one
1:22 am

1:23 am
countries. what discussions between the 2 heads of state tattoo and economy, continental and international issues? was there any, is accompanied by several cabinet ministers and a business delegation aiming to boost trade to an investment relations between the 2 nations. and as we know, uganda is the one of south africa's largest trading partners on the continent. and after years of struggling to improve relations, and i am a poor sa says this is the beginning of many opportunities between the 2. now it seems like business between the 2 countries is expanding the prisons in each other's market, which uganda exports to south africa totaling $11000000.00, while imports were over $220000000.00 during 2020 with gold country is now saying that they can to war, and even though you gonna has had little success in penetrating the south,

african market change is and away. and thus visit is an example off of that. if we are cooling g r a t to highness beg turns within the earth and china roy again as the white house has ordered all u. s. federal agencies to remove the chinese owned social network, tick tock from their systems and devices on face. it could compromise state secrets beijing as lashed out at the measure. call it an unjust, a viable violation of fair business practices. niggley she's yet or how cap? well, how unsure of itself can the world top superpower like the yes speak to fear young people's favorite app like that? we firmly opposed those wrong actions. the u. s. government should respect the principles of market economy and for a competition stop suppressing the companies and provide an open fair and non
1:25 am
discriminatory environment for foreign companies in the u. s. the u. s. has all the federal agencies fulfill the directive within 30 days, canada and the e. you have also adopted similar restrictions, particularly concerning devices with access to secure networks. whereas in officials have a laser chinese authorities could use the app for espionage operations. the company have adamantly denied those claims the us despite is constitutional values of freedom of speech has been considering completely embodying take talk in the country. that is ation to that effect is reportedly being prepared for president joe biden by the u. s. foreign affairs committee. the wasn't by sheet group, human rights watch have even jumped on the bad wire in calling for the app to be prohibited. that has raise questions about whether the user should be able to decide for themselves the ban of tick tock on federal devices passed in december
1:26 am
without any deliberation. and unfortunately, that approach has served as a blueprint for other world governments. these bands are little more than political theatre, a ban on tick tock would violate the 1st amendment rights of millions of americans who use the app to express themselves daily. we call on them to fight against censorship and support our constitutional right to express ourselves. behind form legal media, allies light on these are crack, dimas re the app somewhat of, of forbidden foods and that could actually raise public interest and it do people think that tick tock is the only means by which you can get this information. that's number one. number 2, from a practical matter, how would let, let's go a step further, let's say the band is going to be across the board. is that even possible? and i would venture to say no, because what you're doing is your 1st of all you're,
1:27 am
you're creating this forbidden fruit aspect of it. so as soon as you tell young people in particular, and by the way, good luck telling a gen's ear that this poses some kind of national security threat. but the moment that you tell them you can't do this in this rather recalcitrant generation. good luck with that one. when you keep saying, china, china, china, china, it kin 10 to sound dare i say sino phobic. we've seen this before in the way. people talk about anything that's russian, russian propaganda, russian, you know, inter fair ridge russian. and after a while this rousseau phobic kremlin meeting, i'm kind of language seeps into the conversation. i can see this happening a if it hasn't happened already. and i'm not saying that criticism is not warranted,
1:28 am
but it tends to obfuscate and to confuse the issue when you keep saying this over and over again. progress savvy, rob said in moldova, against these soon european countries for some government and made a rising egoistic problems. oh, look, we will take into the face of the nashville capital to demand the resignation of the country. for each president, my son do some of the produce of cardboard effigies of the leader, which they ripped apart and stormed on local authorities of restricted access to the area to try to prevent further demonstrations. this footage shows the crowds marching through the city center. the anti government rally brought together residents from all across the country. we heard from opposition lee,
1:29 am
the 11 shore with spray and the reasons behind the system protests is globally the citizens of moldova have to bear the burden of mistakes that the authorities have made due to the unacceptable and unbalanced foreign policies of the current government. people are simply unable to pay their bills, they could use their savings in the 1st month of winter. then in the 2nd month they borrowed money. now they just don't have the resources to pay their bills. these costs are higher than the income of the majority of citizens, particularly pinchers. this is why many of us in our country want the current government to resign to enable new elections. the situation is getting worse day by day. whereas in the autumn, there were protesters demanding the prime minister. sandy's government resigned because of the economic situation. now they are calling it an absolute catastrophe . the current administration is pulling us towards the e u. but at the same time it is depriving us of our traditional values. the west
1:30 am
has assured us that they would bring democratic standards to moldova, like freedom of speech. but in reality, the authorities have closed 6 channels. would freedom of speech? are we talking about when a significant number of opposition leaders have been imprisoned? there is not any freedom of speech, although western values are simply fictional. ross is top, deborah might say, gala rove has arrived in new delhi for a meeting of, for mrs. of the group of 20 major economies. the conference is set to begin in the indian capital in the coming hours. laboratories excited to me with an indian counterpart to discuss a strengthening bilateral 5, particularly in the economic sphere. and there is a major purchaser. russian commodities, particularly oil, this white pressure from western powers over the ukraine conflict assets but.
