we managed to get out through there. all you we were especially the scene, has vow to find out what happened in the bottom level with what we are experiencing. we are talking about an unspeakable tragedy. she get our thoughts to day a 1st and foremost with the relatives of the victims to identify the bodies you're better. and the one thing i can guarantee is we will find out the causes of this tragedy. and we will do everything in our power to make sure it never happens again . millimeters report to her to go to walk, cause this crash has already been described as the worst train accident in greek history. so we're that and we put that question to macau as good as the director of the high, much better foundation. think tank insulin,

nicky. unfortunately one cannot see that this was complete. can expect it from the very beginning with a system. he's using a ton of traffic lights or for issues with active and the jobs right now with the fact that it was 517, and a lot of major reforms, not a lot of the major investment. somebody me ever since. and today with the model for the development, 19th century,

a is not on a very large enough, but it's also carry just one percent of that was all going through the country each year. so with that, with michelle, it's good. it's from the i like both foundation, think tank and facility speaking to us earlier. let's take a look now at some of the other news headlines from around the world. turkish president, rec type at one has confirmed the general elections will be held on the 14th of may as plan despite disruption caused by the catastrophic earthquakes. in february, it was unclear whether organizing a pole would even be possible in the regions devastated by the quakes. finland's parliament, l at tre alliance. the decision to and decades of finished neutrality comes amid the russian invasion of ukraine. nato members, turkey and hungry, do still have to give their approval before finland's membership can come into

effect. european g, 20 foreign ministers gathering and deli, for a meeting, expect it to be dominated by russia's invasion of ukraine and the economic challenges created by the war. the host india says it hopes, climate change and debt in developing countries blushed. it's has promised to ramp up ammunitions production to support ukraine. he made the statement after meeting with the latvian prime minister at christiane as karens for bilateral talks in berlin shall also reaffirm nato's commitment to protecting its territory. in the event of an attack on the oc permit. now my dear is electoral commission has declared bowlin to new to president elect. he was the candidate of the ruling all progressives. congress party was election. the electoral commission said mister to newby, 18800000 votes, while his main challenger, attitude above becca, took almost 70 the candidate for young voters,

but turn out was just 29 percent. and with technological glitches undermining trust in the voting process. commercial capital lagos, and i asked her of the opposition's challenge meant that there was a lack of confidence in the whole election process. absa results and the results were not been applauded in record time on the portal and that delay. also, people began to show figures, there was no corresponding with what the electro body was projected across. but ad nigerians particularly say look we, we came out and we have the fear goes from pauline units. and agents also confirming that he had almost a few like that national outcry, especially, you know, from different parties and different people, different sets of niger and same. this process is not credible at all. you're mostly young people that you mention that for once, you know technology is going to work in this election. but unfortunately, that has proven not the case. and that has shown there's a level of mistrust in the process. and people, i say, you know what this election is, is, shall, the should be, you know,

a constellation of the whole result. and like you did mention in a passive liberal party, already go into court and say that wants to seek redress the new legitimately. and to see that bill at $130.00 few like hannah is. so is something going to be done. i mean, are the election authorities taking the accusation seriously? i suppose that's a very crucial question. you know, even before the final announcement of the resorts where when party agents began to revolt and to protest to say no, this is not correct. there are lots of inaccuracies. there are things that are not adding up, especially the figures and the procedure and a lot of complaints. the electro body, the head of the letter body 5, the said, you know, you can go to court, you can secret redress in the court of law are, but so far that's what we know. that's what they've said. but there is really no firm as does in terms of, you know, saying, okay, these are the solutions, is that a practical things? i suppose the answer is, well if you have a problem with this result, you can go to court. we meet in court and lead the court. decide what is right or

what is wrong. all righty tallies and michael coyer in lagos. thank you so much. now new router has broken out between the us and china, over the origin of the coven, 19 pandemic. that's also the f b. i director christopher re concerned on tuesday that the agency had decided that the origin of the pandemic was, and i quote, most likely a potential lab incident in the current of ours was 1st identified in the chinese city in 2019. and it is home to virology lab that conducted research into corona viruses. aging has rejected the claims and isn't using washington, pursing its own credibility from overdue. and now by our senior science correspondent derek williams. derek, you know, did these claims by us agencies suggest that more is known about the origins of coven 19 now than let's say, just a week ago?

no, not really. i mean the f b i has believed for quite a while actually that in this lab league theory, it's just, we just received confirmation of it from the director. but on the other hand, for other intelligence community agencies within the u. s. have said that they believed that actually it was a naturally occurring event. so a spill over event, this to not a transmission possibly by an animal host in one of the wet markets of hon. so. so there's not any, any real clear unity in terms of the messaging and also the yes, the i and also the department of energy, which is also come out with a low confidence rating for the lab theory. they're not providing any of their data . so it's really kind of impossible to say we're, we're not really any close to answer your question. we're not really any closer than we were last week to knowing more about it. it'll be interesting for me to see in the coming days and weeks what those other agencies say if they also do an about

face on the topic, because you would assume obviously that the f b i would at least share the information with them. so does that mean then, that will and not really likely to ever know how the pandemic started. i think that it's, it's looking more and more difficult. it has been for a while. if you, if you think of han word, which is as far as we know, what was the origin of, of the pandemic. if you think of that as an investigative scene, the trail has grown pretty cold by now. i mean, it's more going on more than more than 3 years and without cooperation from china, it's just going to get colder and colder. so ultimately it would, it would have been, even if we'd gone and straight away, it would have been a tough job scientifically, to figure out exactly what had happened and 3 years down the road. i think it's the next best thing actually to impossible and, and with the current political situation with china, i don't see that changing any time soon. now we know that the number of institutes

working with potentially dangerous dangerous pathogens is increasing. can you tell us what safeguards are in place to, to regulate their activities? very few and really not enough. you know, the number of high security, biological sites that are working with things like dangerous pathogens has ballooned in the last years in decades. and there are dozens of them all over the world and, and there's, there are no real clear international standards. and there's very, very little transparency about the kind of work that's often going on within those labs. so we desperately really need international standards and international transparency because even if it turns out, i think in the long run that, that this lab, the theory is incorrect. if we are ever able to determine that, that doesn't. so i was just rescuing from a form this one body. you know i found it like this and i couldn't just leave it
