we ll ask how the plan might work. also ahead. downing street says talks with the eu over a brexit deal covering northern ireland have been positive , raising hopes of a new agreement. also in northern ireland. a fifth person s been arrested in connection with the attempted murder of the off duty police officerjohn caldwell in omagh. officially, there are just 30 minutes left to vote in nigeria s most competitive elections since the end of military rule. but there are still long queues, with reports that some polling stations didn t open on time. a record number of people, nearly 90 million, have been eligible to vote. there s tight security across the country. 18 candidates are running to replace president buhari. the election is being seen as one of the most unpredictable in recent years. joining me now from lagos is our west africa correspondent, mayenijones. thank you forjoining us. just give us a little bit of context surrounding these elections, they are taking place i
germany to ukraine, and call on the germany to ukraine, and call on the german government to push for peace negotiations. lots of different people coming now, i think you can still see the thousands marching up through the heart of the city centre, here. the demonstration has been organised by the people who are behind an online petition. they are calling, as i say, to the stop to weapon deliveries and the push for peace negotiations. that online petition has gathered some 600,000 signatures already. that being said, this does not represent majority thinking in germany. if you look at opinion polls, you will find that a majority of the public is still behind the current government strategy, believing it to be proportionate. what we are seeing here is a bit of a rift, i think, in german society. this war, this year, has brought profound change to this country. a year ago, it would have been unthinkable for germany to be sending weapons into an active war
good morning. good to see you. could this be a very decisive day for the prime minister? i this be a very decisive day for the prime minister? this be a very decisive day for the prime minister? i think it will be a chaotic day prime minister? i think it will be a chaotic day if prime minister? i think it will be a chaotic day if anything. prime minister? i think it will be a chaotic day if anything. if - chaotic day if anything. if yesterday was anything to go by. what is happening now is lots of individual mps who had concerns about borisjohnson are now starting to formulate into what looks like a plot against him, which is always a much more dangerous situation for a prime minister to face. we saw about 20 fairly new mps elected at the last election meeting yesterday, talking about what they were going to do and a majority thinking they might submit letters of no confidence in the prime minister. that prompted a backlash from boris johnson s friends, old mps and some minister
trusting with police officers in their community. there s one with a high school degree that voted about 135 who said yes, they do trust police officers. now as far as gender men are less trusting than women of police officers in their community. we see that here with females actually represented in red in the past minute or two voting no or neutral they don t trust police officers. we also want to give an update on the poll of the day. we asked whether you ve had a negative experience with a police officer? some of you responded with that. those that said yes, 72% said yes you have experienced something negative with a police officer in your community. 27% no. overwhelming as we put the pulse and poll out there. majority thinking yes they ve had a negative experience and yes, no they do not trust police officers in the community. we re going to keep going
curve where liberals need to couch their arguments this way. that in fact, the kind of thinking that joe biden is trying to advance in policy terms is majority thinking. that is right, i mean, most of us don t own guns. most of us don t live in rural areas. you know, most of us don t even go to religious services on a weekly basis. this cartoon picture of the liberal is actually the mainstream. and this cartoon picture of the gun owner is now in the minority. and richard, that is the challenge for joe biden is he is trying to find the language that unlocks votes on the other side of this issue. he is trying to find language that unlocks the votes of west virginia democratic senators, for example. and so i know example what he was reaching for there.
