[000:00:00;00] with the question, the res, about the integrity of nigeria to lead to real system as a ruling party is a big 3 presidential election. the head on collision of 2 trains in central greece needs at least 30 people that and with the u. f. process of one of back for providing humanitarian aid t m. and while at the same time to find weapons, the saudi, that coalition of bombing limited country. we hear from a way of representative about the situation today is that

3330000000 people are struggling not only with an ongoing conflict with no clear resolution in view, but also companies like an infrastructure limited access to all the bases with good welcome to international cost in a way, it's going to help you with this. i'm on my. let's take a look at the top choice this hour. now the latest from nigeria presidential election, the ruling party is candidate bullets, appears to clenched a narrow victory over 2 opposition hopefully. in the africa's largest economy, what questions have been raised about the results? hey, we look,

toral commission has think they had to move from the center left all progressive congress policy or a p c. as the president elect, with 36 percent of the votes, just 7 percentage points higher than the run up fueling claimed that the election could have been rigged to who has attested that the election was quoted. and he expressed gratitude to supporters in his victory search. ah, a dash a as a election results were met with a strong resistance where the top $21.00 are up candidates from the people's democratic party and the labor policy. they have alleged that voter fraud was committed throughout the country. they described it as

a sham election and demanded that the official results be deferred. null and void r t africa correspond carabiner subtler as the details messed up. paula latino bow has been declared as president elect by the independent national electoral commission of nigeria. after having secured some 8700000 votes that is among the lowest tally that we have had in terms of someone becoming president elect of this country is close. the challenger was miss the i think who abaca with the georgia just under 7000000 votes and leave a party which was led by miss b r o b only managing the 2nd 6100000 votes. here among the list of the 1st, this is the 1st time that

a presidential candidate has lost his home state and still went on to be declared. the winner of the elections less the tenant who 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 with federal law, which says that a candidate must achieve more than 25 percent of the votes being attained in the f. b t. that's the estate of a boucher and the failed on that score. even though he did mazda the other part of the pro visa, which is you must win 25 percent of at least 2 thirds of the nigerians. they. this is among the smallest warring margins of anyone in

the history of nigerian elections to when the said to presidential elections. mind you, me, the ab see in this regard was also lost. the state of casino, which is the state of the incumbent president, mr. mom ado body and they continue in a long list of many that that they did. not only, not only did they score the lowest margin with regards to this election, but that they continue to be rather hounded by issues of impropriety. issues of vote rigging, issues of both and suppression and of voter intimidation. the i'll put this in yesterday had a joint press conference saying that they do not believe that there was anything free for all transparent about these results. but mr. dennis,

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 mr. mama do, will heidi to become president and only on his i take 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 interval is, is becoming residents incumbent calling on his opposition parties to come and build on nigeria as a victory so far that they have 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 the nigeria. now this will set the tone not only what west africa as like area is a b, him and in regards to is waiting in this part of the continent. but nigeria is the lead on the continent. and this particular set of election results says the tone not only for the west, but for the continent as a whole. opinions about the voting was often divided, not only among the campuses, but also among those who voted. we heard from louis she did it all of a little because there are so many in letters in the little dark. this is all boss watching. this is what i believe in. busy is 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 for the city. but what we are saying now is if there's any mistake, there was no party or anybody that you didn't class, i was looking to go to court in my since i did, i know you said it not allow them to upload is not going to sound like they just want to thank you. thank you. all right, i live in the me that the, i mean article so it's better to have it on it. if not, what was that started for me? would it, would i be able to the 8th we said to the parliamentary candidate from the opposition people's democratic party says, just like in any competition, are always going to be winners and losers. let me said is especially i am not in agreement that it is a way so lose this election. if we see a force,

i mean a win win. we've got to we don't watch it on our own before we are going to lecture, we are live party, los states on the we are really national where i would the president a, b, b we are going to national, we are the like just the like a lot with i got a new principal, but so me to my my this next song use a semester. i we, we got, we got to go from there. i spent a big national said alpha nigeria elections an all day will make sure that miss any of the developments on air and online. got you covered

with those curts grease our at least 32 people have been killed and 85 others injured as 2 trains including a fatal locomotive collided head on near the city of larissa. in central greece, a fire rub said em. plumes of smoke was seen bitterly out of overturned carriages. about $350.00 passengers are believed to have been on board when the train smashed into the phrase on the same truck. it's unclear what cools the into the, the local go to have said that about $250.00 survivors have been evacuated so far. and a rescue operation is underway. and i witness said the trans collided at high speed . goodell, sky, people naturally were scared. actually very scared. they were looking around searching. they didn't know where they were. there were many large pieces of steel,

wasn't the trains were completely destroyed, both the passenger train and the freight train. the passenger train was going about a 160 kilometers per hour. and it was a clear head on collision. the by the administration has thrown its way behind a controversial mass surveillance program, which will come to an end this december if congress doesn't vote to extend it. it permits the government to spy on any non us citizen outside americas borders, and allow snooping on any communication between those targets and u. s. nationals. art is caleb more been rebels? the u. s. congress sized being urged by the, by the administration to renew this very controversial spying program. that essentially enables the united states government to gather data without the

traditional warrant process. now it traces back to 911. i was instituted into law in 2008. it is, section 7, o 2 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act, pfizer. and this program a it, when law enforcement officials describe it, they really don't make any bones about what it's really all about. here's what they've said. we are relentlessly focused on serious threats such as the chinese government's efforts to spy on us and steal our technology around sanctions. evasions, north korea's nuclear program, and russia's invasion of ukraine. now the program essentially enables the f, b, i and the national security agency to go to tech companies and acquire text messages, electronic data e mails and other information. this would apply to google. busy microsoft meta and other corporations, without the traditional warrant process and civil liberties. organizations have

raised serious concerns about this and the right to privacy. now in 2013, after edward snowden reveal the nature of the program, the supreme court ultimately slapped down lawsuit from civil liberties. organizations in response to concerns about the privacy of americans. the court's refusal to hear this case shields one of the most far reaching government surveillance programs from meaningful judicial oversight. it has allowed, baseless claims of secrecy to prevail over the rule of law. if this law were not renewed, it would expire in the coming december, but in all likelihood, there's very little chance of it not being renewed. it appears that the biden administration is following the trumpet ministration, which was following the obama administration, which was following the bush administration. and continuing this pattern of encroaching on the privacy of americans and expanding the ability of the government

to carry out surveillance and spying without much oversight. the u. s. is give yourself a great big path on the back. thing of has made quote, a tremendous difference was it's humanitarian aid to war tools, given his little washington different, anthony been going to say on the matter, the monitoring 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 must 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 sent . ne, in connection with the yamini crisis says the thought of the conflict almost

a quarter of all u. s. arms and 4 of them gone to saudi arabia, which is levy and military operation against yamini forces. the white house liberal to the block for legislation that would have stopped those sales. last year we discussed the issue with the executive director of the world 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 pompeian. 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. ringback continued by the us 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 does why the earth phrase is h t. evan humanitarian organizations, all sound in the alarm of what they say is the under funding of charity programs for the country. the u. m. has fallen short by round 3 quarters of its

$4000000000.00 target. for donations this year with humanitarian groups condemning the shortfall of disgraceful. the international community today showed it has abandoned yemen at this crucial cross merits, with a mayor quarter of the amount needed to support the millions of yemenis he 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 in 8 will undoubtedly be dire for the people of yemen. easier when, as when suffering from a humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing conference over 21000000 people are believed to be in dire need of aid of them. more than 2000000 children are on the brink of starvation and almost 8 seen within yemen is don't have access to clean drinking water. we spoke to the riddles 1st person for the intellectual command, community of the red cross, who says the situation is getting worse on

a daily basis. a few months ago 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 their 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 voted 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. 8 front for sure to address is not

a situation that only the international red cross is flagging. this is 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 yemenis world sleep hungry to nights are 2 and more children will not be able to go to school or more women will not be able to deliver in a,

in hospitals to access life even health care. this is the reality of 8 fonts shortages in another middle eastern country in dire need of humanitarian assistance is syria. the hardships of jewels from years of civil war have been compounded by the devastation from massive earth quakes that struck the region last month. but western powers proposed sending much needed aid to the countries official government. artie spoke with an advisor to a serious president about the situation. the west, they didn't talk about city are 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 would not civilized

enough to support syria until talk about a catastrophe that has befallen the salient 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 would not behave in the same way. they behaved in the same disgraceful way they behave towards syria. so what is assuring me personally, is that despite 12 years war, 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 possess have erupted in moldova, against the eastern european countries fro. worse and government made roy's in economic problems. oh, thousands of people taken to the fees, so the national capital to demand the resignation of the country for the president, my son do. some of the protests is carried cardboard effigies of the lead that which they ripped apart and stopped on local authorities restricted access to the area to try to prevent further demonstrations. this footage shows of the crowds marching through the city center. the anti government radi brought together residents from all across the country. we heard from opposition leader, illinois,

sure. who explained the reasons behind the persistent protests this globally, the citizens of moldova, have to bear the burden of mistakes, the president, sand do. and her regime have made with its foreign policies which are unbalanced wrong, and simply stupid. people are 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 pensioners. 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 after day. whereas in the autumn there were protesters demanding that sanders government resign because of the economic problems. now they are calling it an absolute catastrophe. the current administration is pulling us towards the you. but at the same time it is depriving us of our traditional values and imposing things

that are completely alien to us. the west has assured us that they would bring democratic standards from all dover, like freedom of speech. but in reality, the authorities have closed 6 channels. what freedom of speech are we talking about when a significant number of opposition leaders have been imprisoned? there is not any freedom of speech. all those western values are simply fictional. oh, the head of a rush is main, natural gas supplied gas problems held high level reading officials about increasing collaboration. this why the western fractions impose on both of those countries. now this comes as russia and iraq have been moving forward on strengthening strategic bilateral ties with the, to hold in the top sports of most sanction countries in the world. the main thing follows a $40000000000.00 energy deal links between gas from i'm to run last year,

end of june in developing iranian oil and gas fields. all t contribute to use a visually as the details. oh, i see miller, the head of the russian energy, giant gas prom is endeavor on to visit iranian energy officials. the main objective of his visit is to discuss future cooperation in the energy sector with iran, and also to discuss and finalize some of the previously talked. and some of the previously signed m, r u is between iran and russia to science are increasingly coming together in defiance of the western sanctions which have hampered it wants access to key technologies needed to develop its oil and gas fields as a result of the western sanctions one has face problems in accessing those major and vital technologies to push its oil and gas outputs. so now russia and gas

probably particular can help iran like circumvent those sanctions and build up its oil and gas industries. one can also offer important opportunities to rush to gas time. you ron, can play the role of a quick short car for the russian gas to pass through iran and which ones, eastern and southern neighbors. 2 sides are trying to come together. cooperate in the energy sector, despite all of the pressures imposed by the west, against iran and against russia. russia is not the only part of the iran is ability emphasize with it. recently, hoses a technology investment conference with a group of 8 developing countries, including egypt in denisia, nigeria, and to hear the participants present in the product class of i. these millions of

those in contracts signed some of the attendees share the experience with us. for some countries of the developing aid organ ation for economic corporation comprise 18th of the world's population. this meeting is a great international opportunity. iran has focused on science and technology. one of the goals is to exchange technology with countries with which we share mutual interests. this meeting is aimed at using investment capabilities of the d 8 countries in the tech sector. hope i volunteer despite facent sanctions, we have substantial capabilities for technological development in iran. we have many sort ups and innovative ideas that have not been achieved elsewhere. meetings like this one, make us more noticeable on the international arena and help attract investment tore country. ah, i have an article about sue at the african to the a grand is pro is on a visit to south africa to strengthen them while at full time, he pulled of

a strong trade relations between those nation as well as on the continent in general. and he noted the high cost of importing product from other parts of the world are think horizontally a cougar has the details. the latter can press the settled. i'm a poor, so has wall come cheese, ugandan counterparts? president your where in was savannah for a state visit. the last day to visit to south africa by president was the venue took place in 2011. this gap in summits came as a result of poor quality of products from uganda. and hi, visa fees also became an obstacle preventing ugandan products from coming into sub africa. now this visit is directed at consolidating bilateral ties between the 2 countries. what discussions between the 2 heads of state tattoo and economy, continental and international issues, must have 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, i am a poor sa says this is the beginning of menu 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 both countries 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 of wheel cooling gay odyssey johannesburg. the president says is silva so track

us weapons, an ukraine after analogy dot com check that i will the back of a couple of them. mm ah ah ah ah ah ah
