jonah hull is following developments from tehran. >> reporter: so the reformists and so-called moderatists have dn extremely well in assembly of experts. the other election was for parliament. it bodies extremely well for them, for their overall erosion of conservative power. they would have likely have done well. we expect to hear more about that on sunday. what is the significance of this major advance for them in the assembly of experts. this is the body made up of 88 senior clerics that gets to appoint the next supreme leader of the islamic public.

given the exist supreme leader se said to be in ill health, it is likely that within their eight-year term they may get to appoint the next supreme leader. a great number of moderates on that assembly means a greater chance of a moderate spraem leader in the future-- extreme leader in the future let's take a close yr look at those early results. voters were asked to fill the 290 seat parliament and 88 member assembly of experts which is responsible for selecting the country's next supreme leader. the moderate party lead the race for the assembly of experts. in parliament, early results show reformists have taken 29 of the 30 seats in tehran. for more on this, we're joined by the research defector of the

national iranian-american council. very good to have you with us on al jazeera. what do you think is behind the reformists, the moderate conservative, really good performance in this election so far? >> i think high voter turn out is certainly one driving force abehind their success. iranian voters went to the polls. around 60%, perhaps higher, turn out. they delivered a very strong message to the rule elite that politicalic, economic and social aspirations that have not been meet need to be addressed more robustly. the voters are far more savvy than they are given credit for. they know the obstacles that they face better than anyone, yet they still make the conscious decision to bring about evolutionary reform and change rather than bringing things about in a revolution manner because if they look at iraq and afghanistan and they

don't want that kind of chaos they do have more access to the outside world now with that nuclear deal that was signed last year and the consequent lifting of international sanctions. how much of the success so far in this election is down to that deal for them? >> i think the president himself has come out and said that getting the nuclear deal done improving iran's relations with the outside world and impressiving iran's economic standing was the first step and then this parliamentary election was supposed to be the next step on the road to recovery. so they're are going to be high expectations on the president and his coalition. to fulfil campaign promises when he was running for panted then reiterated in this election that's on the domestic front. what about internationally. what do you think having more reformists, more moderates in

parliament would mean for the region, for iran's current quite tense relationship with saudi arabia, which, of course, has wider implications for the war in syria, in yemen? >> the great question. i'm of the vow that foreign policy differences between iranian andy leet were fewer or smaller than domestic policy issues. iran has reached out at the presidential level for the past to two years, the foreign minister and deputy foreign minister level and trying to fix the relationship with saudi arabia. when they're ready to have discussions with iran, they will find a ready willing partner in tehran to try and make those improvements thank you for that.

>> thank you moving on to other news how now. a report from yemen suggests 30 people have been killed in an attack in a market north-east of the capital. no-one has claimed responsibility, but houthi rebels are blaming the saudi-led coalition. locals say many of the dead are civilians. forces loyal to the government and supported by the saudi coalition has been making significant gains in the area it's more than 24 hours since the deal came into force to end fighting in parts of syria. fighting has significantly reduced, but there have been some reports of violence. our correspondent has the latest on the syria of turkey border. >> reporter: these fighters are on patrol. but they are also at ease. the sky above aleppo is usually buzzing with russian or syrian war planes. the city hasn't had a calm morning probably in years.

al-qaeda. they are not part of the truce. >> translation: this truce won't last. >> reporter: in the capital there is hope that this deal could bring about peace. >> translation: we are optimistic in the ceasefire and this is the first step towards a political solution that satisfys everyone. >> reporter: the war is not over and its scars remain fresh. syrian government forces have clashed with and bombed al-qaeda's al-nusra front in areas not covered by the truce. while u.s. fighters joets have bombed i.s.i.l. targets near the border with turkey. the overall level of violence has dropped significantly. the question now is how long this truce will last the u.s. and russia has welcomed the pause in the fighting but there has been some isolated reports of violence.

two were killed and several were wounds. the u.s. is continuing to target i.s.i.l. with reports of air strikes in two tares. thousands of protesters have clooshd with police in a south-eastern province. protesters threw stones at police who have retaliated with tea gas and water cannon. there has been an increase in violence in the area since a ceasefire between the government and the kurdistan workers party that ended last july. many have been killed. a suicide bombing in the afghan capital has killed at least 12 people. another 13 were injured in the blast. the taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack which targeted the front of the defense ministry. 13 people were killed in a separate attack in kunar

province in the east of the country. this update was sent from kabul. >> reporter: targeting the defense ministry is, obviously, a bold move and that's exactly what the taliban tried to do here. briefly to tell you what we know, according to police in government officials, this suicide attack that took place right in front of the defense ministry, this is a vast compound that is fortified with layers of barriers and security forces. it is a relatively secure area. however, in front of the defense ministry you have a major road with a lot of traffic and, obviously, the approach to the entrance where you often have criticism i can't answer lined to get up in, these are vulnerable locations and this is where the suicide attack took place. the taliban claiming responsibility for this attack. this suicide bombing follows another suicide bombing early in the morning where militants targeted and killed a very powerful and influential militia

leader who played a key role in the government's fight against militants. all of this comes amid the government's continued push for peace talks with the taliban. the government continues to insist that the best way to establish peace and security is through peace talks. they say the peace talks will resume in the coming days. however, when you see these attacks, militants going after big targets, the glaring questions are all taliban factions willing to stop fighting and willing to come to the negotiating table still ahead on the al jazeera news hours, voters in ireland pass judgment on how their politicians are handling their economic recovery. zimbabwe's warns of infighting as he celebrates his 92nd birth.

the loss of support for ireland's ruling coalition. >> the government is a bit complacent. they were told they would be rewarded for a recovery that still hasn't reached most house holds. >> reporter: this follows a similar pattern of other countries, spain, portugal and greece that have also been through periods of austerity. ireland is different where austerity is metropolitan to be over and the country has the fastest growing economy in the ue. it continues to look more and more like people have gone out to deliberately the outgoing government in the polls however. if the current coles wants to hold on to power, it will have to build new alliances. but that is no easy task. the parties were forged in the blood of civil war nearly a hundred years ago. there are fierce differences

that date back generations. given the growth in political left in ireland, it may be a time for gale and fore to do the unthinkable and join forces. >> translation: the two parties are likely to form the next government. they would have to stay on the balance of balance of probabilities. the policies are very similar. >> reporter: soon the difficult work of coalition building begins and with it the creation of a new leader shi. for now ireland's political future hangs in the balance to the u.s. now where voters in the state of south carolina are choosing their preferred democratic delegate. hillary clinton and bernie

same voters to support her in 2016. we are told the polls are set to close in just under an hour, that the numbers of record of turn out among african-american voters exceed the 2008 numbers. she has been campaigning very hard. we spoke to many of those who will be voting, particularly african-american women who say that they feel their vote should not be taken for granted. >> thank you for this wonderful gathering of women who are freerfully and-- freefully and wonderfully made. >> reporter: these women say assumption of how they will vote cannot be taken for granted. >> amen. >> the black community no longer needs one person for them or telling them how they should vote. i see it as a positive sign and the evolution of our community. >> reporter: in most polls

democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton leads in black support. votes she is counting on, but it is generational with mostly older african-americans backing clinton >> it is time for a woman to hit the glass ceiling. if anybody is going to do that, secretary clinton can do that. >> reporter: some younger black women seem skeptical. campaign stopped this week. one young voter demanded an apology. >> you owe black people an apology. >> reporter: that's why some are leaning towards clinton's main rival bernie sanders who says for decades he has battled racial injustice and was even arrested in 1963 for civil rights activism. >> most of the people in the

country are on the side from breaking from the establishment way of doing things and putting and resting the power back in the hands of the people to pick and choose. so i'm not so much into the next in line kind of thing >> obama promised things and they want to bring change. >> reporter: this week clinton has been working hard in south carolina reaching out to black voters asking them to back her that's the view from south carolina. look ahead to super tuesday when 12 states hold nominating contests, just how important is next tu tuesday for both democrat and republican candidates? >> reporter: it's really important because this is going to narrow the field, if you will. there will be some candidates that won't survive. we have to look at the democratic side. hillary clinton hoping that she,

as we discussed, can break the momentum of her main rival bernie sanders. she is hopeful of a victory that will allow her to have similar victories, it is expected or predicted in other southern states like south carolina where there is a similar voting democratic and significant pockets of voters of color. bernie sanders is not giving up. he is concentrating on et states that he feels he will be successful. he is talking about income and equality, fixing a justice system. really connecting with theme. they're not giving up, but there is going to be momentum after tuesday. the for midable opponent for the establishment candidates ted cruz and marco rubio, of course, is donald trump who is heading into super tuesday with leads, solid leads, in eight out of 12

of those states that are holding those political contests. the tone on the conservative side, particularly nasty, many surviving for political survival. ted cruz is leading in texas, struggling everywhere else. if he doesn't win in texas it is difficult to see how he could continue thank you for that. al-shabab fighters in somalia have claimed responsibility for a deadly attack in the capital, mogadishu. at least 14 people were killed. >> reporter: the force of the explosions in mogadishu can be seen more clearly the morning after the attack. people gathered out naer the youth league hotel. a suicide bomber in a car ran into the entrance on friday night. armed men fought guards at an out of security barrier. after that another car exploded

so did members of the syrian opposition. this man last his left leg 18 months ago when the syrian air force bombed his home. russia bombed civilians there too and displaced him and his family for the second time. >> translation: they're bombing our towns to empty them of the indigenous people. >> reporter: this is why turkey is keeping these people inside syria. turkish aid agencies are delivering food and blankets, but the government says it doesn't want to let people in. it doesn't want to be committed to ethnic cleansing it claims. there isn't a town in syria that that hasn't been affected. that's children are too young to differentiate between sunni, arab and occurred. unfortunately they have been born at a time that will consider whether they would live or die the u.n. is warned of a

your own business, if you want to be arrested by police. >> reporter: many are sceptical about the government's drive to close all red light districts. >> translation: prostitution has always been a part of our culture. you can destroy their places, but you can't make them disappear. they will always be here. the sex workers do this because they see no other options since they're poor. >> reporter: those who remain only have a few days to decide if they leave voluntarily or face the prospect of bulldozers moving in on february 29 thousands of south koreans have held an anti-government rally in the capital. they're angry at a government plan to cap the salaries of senior workers and make it easier for companies to fire staff. police estimate about 130,000 people took part in the protest which was led by one of the
