our correspondent shingai nyoka is in the capital harare and has more now on what we can expect today and in the coming days as votes are counted. the electoral commission said it was ready to conduct these elections but it has teething problems. polling stations were supposed to open at 7am but in harare, they said that only one and a quarter were able to do that and by mid—morning, some other stations still had not even received the ballot papers and here, these stations opened an hour late at 8am. these stations opened an hour late at sam. the authorities have called for calm and said that everybody will be able to devote for the 12 hours that are still elated by the law but it has not really helped the mistrust that already exists between voters and the authorities, especially in the urban opposition stronghold with these delays. the numbers are continuing to swell here as voters turn out in their numbers.
in terms of ad revenue but also we have an election coming up in the united states very soon and there is a real issue when it comes to misinformation and what is out there and who says what. i guess matter is arguing they are tackling the problem. there is an argument to say that as well. of course, because with these verification badges it will mean that they will have confidence in the fact that the person posting is really who they say they are with the backup of the need to have government id to enable this added verification. certainly this would be seen as useful in the fight against disinformation but as we have seen, for example, with twitter, there may be teething problems, twitter had to suspend its badge back in november, the blue tick
announced the policy, i always said that it would begin with a lot of teething problems and you would have a lot of legal action against it. and they will try and delay it. that is inevitable. what we are trying to do is stop the business model of criminal gangs who are preying on people, moving them across the english channel in vessels that are not seaworthy, costing their lives, risking their lives, what they are doing is undermining people both my confidence and legal migration. and people's support for illegal migration. we have safe and legal routes for people to come into this country. i havejust talked routes for people to come into this country. i have just talked about it. for people to come and work in agriculture or whatever. we have that. it should not be undermined by criminal gangs who are risking people's lives and that is what the policy is about in rwanda. that interview with _ policy is about in rwanda. that interview with the _ policy is about in rwanda. that interview with the prime minister in

against this aggression. the other thing the mod is offering is support to the home office to help them process ukrainian visa applications abroad which seems to be having a few teething problems. there were two routes for ukrainians to get into the uk, the second has not been open, the sponsorship scheme where individuals, companies, organisations and communities can sponsor a ukrainian to come to the uk. we think the levelling up secretary michael gove in charge of that is updating the cabinet on progress about establishing that scheme right now. the route that is open is the first scheme allowing ukrainian nationals to come and join family members who are already here. the first batch of statistics of how that is going — in the first four days of this team there were 9000 applications which led to 300 visas being granted. conservative mps are increasingly concerned that the system is not working fast enough. ben wallace echoed those concerns
on the whole, much happier than where we were, but i think to say that things are perfect, i don't think they will ever be. i think it is potentially something we have got to live with. some sharp export falls this year, such as in the car industry, could almost entirely be attributed to global pandemic factors rather than brexit. indeed, the signing of the trade deal helped confirm nissan's commitment to sunderland, unleashing new investments in electric vehicles. although the first year of global britain trading outside of the european union has avoided some of the dramatic worst—case scenarios, there has been a clear hit in the trade figures that goes beyond what you would expect from the pandemic. and in individual sectors, it has been marked, such as the re—export of clothing and the export of food and animal products — they have gone well beyond teething problems. and for the government, they have played this down but privately, they say, british exporters have got to get used to a new reality, that there is a customs border
