bang lou, there was no consensus there. something that also remember happened in our g 20 summit in bali last november. now of course, so as far as this visit is concerned, it is extremely significant to fall from the g. 20 foreign ministers meet. they're also going to be bilateral, that of course we're going to keep a track all saw about as far as in the l g. 20000 been so you can send, it comes at a time of a global kills global locks, really where the world paul was all divided, all was the russia ukraine complex. and therefore, it becomes a little a tricky for india, but like the prime minister of the country said it wants to play the role of a problem solver. also, of course, at india, all of them, there's going to be a time to play magic balancing act that will be required, a school saw. ah, today's going to be an informal ah, d not later in the evening, but tomorrow is also a fall will back scheduled. and of course we're going to keep

a track over the fat. okay, another story we're across to day. the race to take over the presidential reigns in nigeria has finally been cold with the ruling parties, candidate bullet to sing off to main opposition hope falls in africa's most populous nation. with will the electoral commission declared mister to new boot representing the center left. all progressives, congress was president a leg after he secure 37 percent of the ballot. that's 8 percentage points and millions of votes more than his nearest rival, former vice president akiko a boot, but car, who claimed the election result count was rigged. the apc described reaction as sour grapes and urged abu bakar on the labor party candidate,

peter obi to concede with long time kingmaker abolla to new having already given his victory speech. ah rosalie, home food that you have for me as well as the a the election had been a key talking point of course, among nigerians for weeks in the build up now after the vote debate still raging with the integrity of the counting process in the spotlight newspaper stantons have become a focal point where people gather to chew over the raft of development. ortiz corolla top to reports. now from the country's largest city home. this is life in nigeria. it's never easy. and in lagos, in particular, tough is the idea of the day. here on the busy ellen road,

it's always thronging with the hustle and bustle of those making their way to and from work school and going about their daily lives. people here gather around newspaper spans, ready to i'd you, you down. no my bit my lead. ringback about on man that i needed in is when, when i was more how it wasn't with a news about he's very both on these 2 that live with live in north africa as the result of the lecture strickland, the question on everyone's lips is which of the local newspapers, people can trust since 2005, although even philadelphia has been selling you papers here and listening to the arguments every single day. but why does he do it in and get out a device, give them up at the study. you can see it in life conference session that people,

a lot of people let number of people come here and by the way, you can, i've been displayed. i've had them thank for 2 decades missed our daughter has been opening up this newspaper stand and listening to the mostly the working class come and read the headlines and discussed amongst themselves the direction in which the country's going with the turbulence and shenanigans of nigeria. 202030 presidential and parliamentary elections have left no mouth close for what we saw in the election a . what is really happening? i don't like if you don't want to. if, if i don't want to come, they must go. they don't do that. you know, whenever he did pop up, that you may leave all the men issues of the off. what do you know what is really

going on? so i was like, one of these people can look at this a little know what this election. but in this age of exhibition of them being 1st and on social media, how does he think that the nigerian journalism has conducted itself during this most tenuous of election? thieves will, newspaper outlets out live the much more accessible social media and it's co hot is under the address not one dimensional media. he said fit to the concrete one because the people, the honda, to show media not provision of the don't came, missed our dover himself. it's not just a newspaper merchant, but a generalist over 37 years. nothing can drown his passion and thought he has them of others who have the tradition to gather around. newspapers tends to guarantee a national discussion. got a bill it's that's

a full out of tea in lagos, nigeria. ah, well, the money will micron is embarking on a 5 day tour to africa, but many resident in the democratic republic of congo, which will be his final stop, are making it clear. the french president seemingly is not welcome. protesters gathered in the capital can shops wielding signs comparing mccaul to the m 23 insurgency group in the country, which has been on a rampage and eastern bordering region. not while the french embassy was spray painted with a message, mac call get lost. similar sentiment has been growing across the continent with molly and berth. keena foster also recently demanding the immediate withdrawal offering. speaking up at keynote, also wanted to go has revoked a 61 year agreement on military assistance with france. it comes after paris ism

bassinger and french trips pulled out of the width african country ortiz. none of you can get, can tell us more. mckenna foster has indeed terminated a 1961 military assistance deal with france. and this, of course, coming in just a few weeks off the, telling the french ambassador and troops backing is an insurgency campaign to leave the nation. it seems like 14 of us or has had enough of any sign of colonialism that it is taking every measure possible to end these ties, at least at military level. i think it's also important to note that attention with france at the political level in both nations have been accompanied by anti french demonstrations and social media criticism. so this has not to come as a surprise was expected. he, even though the expectation was not at this level, according to reports, the move, what marks a further downward spiral in relations,

since the military toppled, became those elected president last year. and you'd remember that a few weeks ago, french president emanuel mac, ron did say he was awaiting clarification from booking for the transitional president about this decision. so it seems like the decision came in as soon as they expected. so now we wait to see how president mccracken will deal with this since he is in the continent. currently, k turning attention from africa to the middle east were protest. hover opted in several is really cities, including tel aviv, where stun grenades have been fired. a demonstrators, as they clashed with the countries law enforcement protesters block the main highways that connect televi, venture islam waving flags and shunting anti government lollies. of course, the country broke out turns is really officials proceed with a controversial judicial reform program. it includes the rights of ruling

elite to limit the power of the supreme court, which currently access counterbalance to the executive branch or correspondent maria phenomena is among the colleagues. i with

the government run by somebody with and his own interest is to avoid a. c to this new system in israel. so he's trying to change the law and the rule of the world instead of being a democracy will become a dictatorship that kind of them august with intelligence, events, or government demonstrations went out of control and turn violence after protest. her last with police courses a hard line against wylie group conditions of the mass. scattering police. dag renee, we are about 11 people in that said i think others were arrested later crime and it's been a been yahoo gate green lights to as to the year. drag down, we will not allow violence against police officers to block into highways and the gross violation of the laws of the state. the right to demonstrate is not

a right to anarchy. i give my full backing to the national security minister and the officers of the israeli police who are acting against lawbreakers who are disrupting israeli citizens. daily lives obtained. israelis have been filled with failing to bring feed. so they said, great, i me so the over you may say they science flemish, i'm sorry, this is i'm reading a must be some corrections. there must be some regulation. i'm worried about it. that's going to have all the power. but it doesn't really matter if you're on the list of that i, i'm happy with her there on wednesday,

the math is really a rating with serving as the prime minister. that would be a bear with me because of another virtual bill that is a, as the size and the special with 5 countries high for so for now, these bills are at their primary favorite time that they need more fall in the greeting. the people ready be ready on this theory that these males will be approved with will be heard before that happens

with a direct threat to the security of americans. that's how the u. s. republican senator ted cruz has labeled that decision by brazil to allow 2 iranian war ships to dock and rio de janeiro. the story quickly drew the attention of renown journalists, playing greenwald, known for breaking the edward snowden story, who rang the alarm over a quote, us at parker c. we've been hearing for years that ukraine has the right to host whatever foreign militaries or alliances at once and russia has no say in it. yet ted cruz thinks he can dictate to brazil a country thousands of miles away, which ships it can and cannot host on its soil. washington has worn the both brazil and brazilian companies doing business with iranian ships are now in danger of what they're calling, crippling sanction saundra us something terrorism laws. it's not the 1st time the u

. s. has issued advice to south america is biggest the call me previously urging brazilian to rethink its diplomatic relations with terra. despite initially bowing to pressure from washington, brazilian president lead the sober meter agreed to allow the iranian ships to dock, continuing a policy of maintaining good relations between the 2 nations medical. unless doctor video ortiz, he's the brazilian president, is determined not to repeat this. he puts it, the mistakes of his predecessors. president, it's still above, like any practical statement doesn't want to provoke any other country or star has still with any other countries. so in its trip to the united states of america certainly was not coming to buy it with a message was still 80 or breaking pies or trying to disrupt good commercial relations. he just wanted to meet with the president, get some agenda items in order and look forward to

a more meaningful bilateral relationship. but he also understood, let us silver, and they understood that he cannot make the mistake of federal castillo, which is simply to say, well, if we align with us and obeyed them like good boys, then they'll help us when we're in trouble. certainly castillo case has shown that you cannot trust the united states government to protect you and you shouldn't because ultimately you should rely on your own people to support you. ok. ok. big interest in this next story, the boss of the real firm who's cargo train derailed in the us state of ohio last month, sparking a huge fire and chemical leak has been called to testify in front of a senate committee. lawmakers say the accident was 100 percent preventable. derailment happened on february 3rd, the train was transporting a highly toxic chemical compound use to make plastic products. it can trigger

severe shorts and long term effects on the health of anyone exposed to it. the fact that journalists were prevented from accessing the site for some time led to accusations the government was trying to don't play the seriousness of the incident or corresponding caleb and takes us through the details of the catastrophe and the upcoming hearing on it. well, at this point we have ohio residents filing a lawsuit against the environmental protection agency, as well as ohio governor might do why and they are doing claiming that basically they've been told it's safe to go into the area, but that it's not say they're citing a study conducted by texas a and m university. and carnegie mellon university. that indicates that there is a concentration of 9 toxic chemicals in the area that is higher than normal. they say the e p a, telling them it was safe to go into the area,

put them at risk again. local residents told a grazed down reporter that they believe these results conducted by the university . this is what they said. do you trust the company when they come out and say everything safe? we tested every no, i don't know. i know what i felt, my lungs, i've got healthy ones that have done there and now, but how he trust somebody is telling you, well, it's only going out a mile when you live 3.3 miles away and i walk outside the morning of my lungs and burnt. i felt like they were on fire the time i walked out and walk back in. so now i don't trust anything. i don't think there's any content feelings around there. my experience has been the people are still pretty much up in the air and uninformed and feel like they've been manipulated. do you think that the do you think that the company should be trusted when i say everything safe?

everything's good to go. ah no, i don't trust them. we don't know what's in the air, we don't know what's in our homes. now. another issue that is being raised is the issue of the private contractors that were hired to collect samples in the area. according to gray is the company tetra, tech that was hired is owned by black rock and by vanguard, those are 2 financial corporation. and they also own norfolk southern southern norfolk, which is the company, the railway company that is involved in the crash. so that indicates the conflict of interest to say the least now, it's been pointed out that tetra tech, the company that's been hired, i was involved in quite a few scandal over the years. the department of justice has come down on them for their ecological practices. they were involved in what's been called the biggest case of eco fraud and us history when it comes to a botched navy clean up that went on. now in addition to that,

it's important to note that apparently the companies have hired the center for toxicology and environmental health. and this is a corporation that was involved in the clean up after the b p. oil spill in the gulf of mexico, and they have been widely criticized for their environmental practices and their activities in the aftermath of various disasters they've been called on. here's what raised on reports. another toxicologist, familiar with c, t, e h, who requested anonymity to avoid retribution. from the firm, described in chemical studies is designed to meet the goals of its clients. that pay to say everything's okay. the source said their work product is basically they find the least productive rules and regulations and rely on those. so with residents that he's palestine, ohio reporting that they've suffered health effect in the aftermath of this frame

derailment, many people are looking on and seeing the reports and the activities of the environmental protection agency that seem to be very well serving the interests of norfolk southern the company that was involved in the derailment and observers, and looking on a thing that looks like an example of collusion, and a parent corruption where a private corporation and the federal government seem to be working together. and it's the public that is being put in danger and suffering. washington is one step closer to a nation wide band on the globally popular chinese up to talk and move the critic se threatens freedom of speech and expression. the u. s. senate foreign affairs committee has approve legislation aimed at stifling the social media platform. that builds advancement. those tensions between washington and aging steadily increased . the white house has re security concerns about the up and ordered all

u. s. federal agencies to remove the software from their systems. now, this later is legal effort would allow the biden administration to the care a tick, tock, a quote, extraordinary threat. beijing has rubbish that calling the move and unjustifiable violation of for business practices neighborhoods away. she's yet, or how cool, how unsure of itself can the world top superpower like the u. s. b to fear young people's favorite f, like that? we firmly opposed those strong action. so the u. s. government should respect the principles of market economy and fair competition. stop suppressed in the companies and provide an open fare and non discriminatory environment for foreign companies in the yes, he knew what he thought. yeah, you, while brussels has also jumped on the bandwagon, the e, you know, forbids the use of tech talk on official devices used by the blocks. ringback parliament commission on console legal on media analyst line or thinks that cracked

on may actually do the opposite of what's intended on mick the up as he says, a forbidden fruit, thereby raising public interest in it. you 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, unless, 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 doing is your, 1st of all you're, 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 zaire, that this poses some kind of national security threat. but the moment that you tell them you can't do this and 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, but it tends to obfuscate and to confuse the issue when you keep saying this over and over again. final wrapping up our news our but our programs, they are just beginning, stay close to see what showing forever. marty from the r t international team on myself. you know me of the time,

is it time to talk and it would seem so the west rhetoric is at odds with hard realities on the ground in ukraine. the chinese are presented to proposal and it is believe the u. k. france and germany are cobbling together applying for zalinski. but are they willing to talk to russia with ah

ah oh, when i was sure seemed wrong when i just don't know. i mean, you have to shake out this day because the advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. oh, in 2016 american diplomats began complaining of

a variety of medical symptoms that included things from physical pain to ringing in the ears to cognitive difficulties. these symptoms were largely ignored at 1st and then the term havana syndrome was coined. the u. s. government initially dismissed the symptoms as the product of crickets. yes, crickets, but something more sinister is likely behind it. i'm john kerry aku and you're watching the whistleblowers. 2 2 2 2 havana syndrome is a perplexing condition when diplomats at the u. s. embassy and havana. cuba began reporting things like physical pain, migraines, nausea, ringing in the ears, and even in extreme circumstances, traumatic brain injuries, the state department, and the defense department called the events anomalous.
