people that dancing about this now it's a very different picture from what we've seen in the morning today at broad just as we have blocking the main roads, they try to prevent the arrival so by if the delegates this has caused some clashes with the police. so we've seen the clash as we've seen, how a if the members have high of the politicians, beautiful, these protection to, to arrive at the venue. none the less organized of this protest, i think they will be rather happy, as i mentioned their warehouses but much less than expected, much less than bid prior to this to these days and to sell it most paid was a peaceful protest. members of unions of churches, upright as a future of the grandma, those against the far right, they all came together to send the signal that the city of as does not welcome b a if the thought the congress. thank you,

irena ends will return to the polls for a run of presidential vote next week after none of the candidates secured majority in the 1st round. the election is to replace president abraham, re see who was killed in a helicopter crash last month. the reformist must suit his s can hold a slim lead over conservative site leading, but 10 off on to a record low as only 14 percent supreme data as the last time an a of a saw the selection of all 4 candidates y'all, that is a batch the head of data abuse persian service told me why it not has been so low. this is actually not surprising. we have been witnessing, especially since the since a nationwide pro tabs. the women live freedom movement which is still ongoing. despite all crackdowns, the people are fed up with this regime. it's the,

it's because of, um, no, the human rights, no human rights, no women writes the economy and the regime supporting homeless and his bala and, and this is actually very clear that people in a wrong they want a vision change. so for, and for most of the people, there's elections are not even elections. they know they will, there's no change coming out of this. and there was trying to do a training has taxed the weeks i'm to before the election, seeing a hash tag election circus or um, people calling to boy towards the elections. like for instance level peace prize winner. and i guess mom id who has called for and actually white goods. and we also could see is the images and videos that reached us yesterday. the appalling stations were, um yeah, there was, they were empty actually in different cities of the country for a 2nd. now and some other stories, making headlines around the world. voting is underway in more attain is the

presidential election. present mohammed who does whiny is expected to win a 2nd. tim martsen is positioned itself as a beacon of stability and advocates to hell region as neighboring countries struggle with is limited insurgencies, media and mongolia as a. the ruling party is one parliamentary elections with a significantly reduced majority prime minister moves. and i'm as ryan or you and, and declared victory following fridays polls, millions of mongolia and turned out to vote in the campaign, dominated by graft claims. and the state of the economy. and the taco who fired across the board, a police officer guarding these ready embassy in belgrade has been shot and killed authority. said the police mine isn't a threat. a life threatening condition. the government has called the incidence of terror attacked a temporary peer built by the us military to bring agents a guys or has been removed because of bad weather. the pentagon says it may not be

rebuilt. most of the nearly 9000 tons of aid that end to the end of the through the structure remains in storage because of distribution, difficulties. a sport now and here in germany. the knockout round of the year 2024 football championships is about to get underway. and just under an hour, switzerland will be chasing that 1st victory against italy in more than 30 years. later, denmark faced the host. and while the germans are firm favorites than not taking anything for granted spirits are high. a team. germany's bass players like leroy sign, a took some time to meet with fans and signed a few autographs. the head of the high pressure round of 16 clash with denmark. the relationship between the team and supporters is back on track at their home euros. after several disappointments that recent tournaments the large event on. so the people really support us. we have sparked and been a few more in germany. and we will now try to keep that going to be in the, in spite of the blog. because slaughter back is

a solution to one of the coaches you really are not goals minds, headaches, germany bloss use the same starting 11 and all 3 group matches. now he has to make changes defender jonathan, tom will not be available. his yellow card against switzerland was his 2nd of the tournament meeting. he will serve a one match band slider back is expected to replace tom, but fellow center back antonio. really good me also missed the game with a hamstring injury, which i'll do for that. some of i've had an injury like that in the past. it's not that easy to get it out of your head. i hope he'll be fit, but we still have to wait and see on saturday. that's like one. a 100 dogs. denmark will not be easy to crack, just like germany, they went undefeated in a group stage. players coming off the bench such as emory con, or nicholas pool crew could be key. both have gotten their names on the score sheet as substitutes as government. and i think if we have a good game that will make the fans happy and that can push us forward on the pledge. the championship final is still a long way away,

but the momentum is building as more and more fans start to believe. if germany, when once again endorsement, the dream of lifting the trophy on home soil will be more alive than ever. a corresponding tackle flores is endorsement with germany. take on denmark and just not to yeah, we're essentially in the center of the city here. the wants to really close to the main central station and we see a lot of bands blocking of it still some time until the match starts really. and that has not stopped defense from getting here. we see a sea of white sorts, some red shirts from the denmark fans, but mainly it has been majority of germany, fans, and the city of the do you happen through it has been great. the defense will meet here, the city center, and then they will go in a march together, down to the ground, which is a $32.00 lumber walk. so it's not an easy task really, but the sun is shining, the atmosphere is great, and they want to provide the amazon for the team once they get to the ground. and

this is pretty much a city that lives and breeds football behind me on the right side of it. you can see uh the building there is the home of, uh, let me see and we turned in football. so it just goes to show you how much the city terrace for the sports. and the city also has jeremy's largest stadium, the option of the possibility of out of, of a home advantage for the house. but the denmark, any chance of them staging and upset well, that is true that it's a, that is home of the largest the stadium here in germany. uh with the home of the adult month. one of the biggest clubs in europe really. and also germany clearly. but yeah, about $80000.00 plus stadium. the capacity has been lowered 260000. that's still 60000 fans that will. as mentioned, the majority will provide up support for germany. denmark, of course, looking to pulling up, sit here, but they will be the team that are definitely the under dog here. germany will have the fence on their side and it's a stadium that's really electrifying, so that we're really push the few forward. and i think uh the stadium will play

a big role deciding today who will win the match. really. indeed, you mentioned jeremy being favorites a top to the group. describe what you think the chances of this evening. well yeah, as mentioned they are the favorites for tonight really against denmark, that mark, as mentioned also, you cannot, you cannot on underestimate that see, there will be a tough team to crack really. they will defend a and there that's, that will probably be the game plan for them. germany also do have or, well, in that uh, the worth of quote, you did not get someone who will have to make its 1st changes of the tournament. he had already played all 3 matches with the same starting 11th this time around. he is forced to make changes so that will definitely bring a different dynamic to the team. it's still wide open, but yeah, mentioning that germany do have the home advantage. they, there's, believe the youngest team, so they, i do see them getting further. they can win tonight that can probably go all the

way. okay, i'll be looking forward to seeing how that's unfold, dw, sports, haggle, store as in dormant. thank you. that's it for now, after the break, we told to one of india's top bosses of a hall, a sense of change. our told me a lot of call watching the eclipse someone else to the cd. hi, lots of selected for you. you every week, a new a box, subscribe. now. i tried several times. i went on 6 times to greece. is that all i have to spend life from 500 to 600. currently more people than ever on the worldwide in such a fashion life. you know is a very difficult journey and one.
