in yemen hits who targets in samarra after the rebels launched more armed drones at the kingdom. and switzerland votes on banning face veils in a referendum criticized as islamophobia and unnecessary. uninstalls voting is underway in an election that could have a big impact on the future of lena lessing barcelona's members including messi are deciding who will become the new president of the spanish club. a british iranian woman imprisoned on spying charges has completed her 5 year sentence as an radcliffe was behind bars for 4 years before spending the final year on the house arrest and lawyer says the radcliffe has taken off her electronic track and now faces another trial shortly will speak toward chalons who is tracking

reaction in the u.k. 1st as good as a baby in tehran said so the sentence is ended this doesn't mean that she's going to hold does it. she's currently staying at her parents' house in the iran that electronic tag has been removed was dielectric tag was on she couldn't be more than 300 meters away from her parents' house yes the sentence has ended but her lawyer says that she has been summoned to court to face further charges possible further charges of propaganda against the establishment for taking part in a protest outside the iranian embassy in london in 2009 and also giving an interview to b.b.c. persian b.b.c. persian of course is banned inside iran that her lawyer says he is hopeful that those charges will go no further now she was arrested initially in 2016 in april 2016 that she was getting ready to leave iran along with her 22 month old daughter and iran's main airport and the revolutionary guard charged her with training

individuals to spread propaganda against iran and for the soft overthrow of the iranian establishment at the time she denied those charges she continues to deny those charges but she was sentenced to 5 years now this has led to a bit of a diplomatic dispute between the u.k. and iran in 2019 the u.k. foreign ministry said that she was eligible for diplomatic protection something iran rejected because they don't recognize jewel nationals ok and why is a relative of and i'm not just talking about this case but why is iran accused of employing so-called hostage diplomacy. well there have been a number of arrests of foreign nationals in november last year a british street in the string in britain was released in exchange for 3 iranians that were being held in thailand then in june last year an american citizen was released by iran iran said was on humanitarian grounds but 4 days later and iranian

was released by the united states and that ring in marjah to haiti was on charges of violating u.s. sanctions now this particular case about nazanin there are some that believe it has to do with the purchase of around 1750 tanks dating back to 1976 before the revolution now iran had ordered to order those tanks off the united kingdom after the revolution the united kingdom didn't deliver those iran had paid for them and iran has been going through the course trying to get that money from britain that hasn't happened and there are those that believe that this case is linked although iran denies it ok thank you for that to a segue there live in tehran and we had this from the u.k. foreign minister dominic robb in a tweet he said we welcome the removal of nelson is a kind of radcliffe's ankle tag but iran's continued treatment of her is intolerable she must be allowed to return to the u.k. as soon as possible to be reunited with her family let's go live now to louis

which is south of london where we have royal chalons warry so we had dominic rob there is tweet giving his $0.02 but iran hasn't listened to the u.k. government at least for the past 5 years so what are the chances listen now. well having the perception in the u.k. of course is that the danes are gauri reckless incarceration has nothing to do with either guilt or innocence it's to do with. a point that the the iranian government is trying to make sense to me as we've been talking about a break up a hostage situation now they are iraq lives husband richard radcliff has been pretty clear that he thinks that this is absolutely links to the issue of the tanks that i was just talking about and that essentially what we're looking at here is a kind of game of governmental chess and that it's it's about these 2 governments

sitting down with each other and trying to work out what the price is the right price for her release now you know that the family and the u.k. government have not always seen eye to why over this and the best way forward richard radcliff over the last 5 years has kept up a very high profile public relations campaign essentially pressuring the u.k. government to do more to get her out and the u.k. government hasn't always appreciated this the few months ago it essentially wrote about that as saying look we pipe down a bit this is something that is best dealt with by a quiet diplomacy and you're not necessarily helping things but richard grantley's perspective of course is that while the u.k. government hasn't always helped things either there is that very famous example from 2017 where boris johnson as the foreign minister at the time foreign secretary

put his foot in there and a big way by saying that in the in the very regular if was in iran to teach journalism now or that was always denied vociferously by nelson herself and by her defense team. they were saying that she was there on holiday and actually that gaffe from boris johnson was pounced on by the iranian government and they suggested that she was there to essentially be a proper ground propaganda outfit for for the u.k. against the regime and that kind of links into this this 2nd case that she's facing because that is all about propaganda efforts as well so you know the family says we hear words you serve her sentence. is now free we won't be celebrating until she's back in the u.k. and we know the outcome of that 2nd case that's hanging over our head right now and of course she has a young daughter back in the u.k. as well doesn't she rory will have lived there for time in louis. well mahmoud.

is the founder of iran human rights that's a non-governmental organization he is an all-star thank you time so i mean not only did is she served her time she's been released but is now being called back to court on more charges what do you think the chances are she'll actually return to the u.k. well. i think we all know that. the case of snubs and like to many are there are one nationals. it's not about legal case actually real charges it's as it was mentioned earlier part of the hostage diplomacy has been used by many of the dual nationals as a bargaining chip and of course introducing new charges that they can keep inside iran and basically putting pressure on british government and you know like

any other hostage situation. basically they continue this kind of policy as long as it gives them a result and so i am really concerned about those that means a situation that. dozens more dual nationals in the same situation and many people are concerned also about the precedent this sets you talk about iran using hostage diplomacy has it ever works for iran. what well of course i mean. we remember that. an iranian journalist iranian american journalist was released. after that nuclear deal and it's been sayed that the obama administration. gaping returned. a huge amount of. money back to iran. and the also so

another situation with a dual citizen and australian citizen who was really is few months ago. in return 3 people from who were arrested in thailand for participation in terrorist acts were released so basically it is working so it seems that the international community and their west in particular they don't have if policy in strong tough state hostage taking you know we have seen earlier that you know they had much more. stands in front of diet. but when a government. you know takes hostages and fabricates. charges against them it seems that it has been 6 and they have been successful in

doing so they reach 2 goals so unfortunate as long as they do it will be facing i mean no dual citizens would be safe even when they are close to iran so you talk there about the international community what do you make of person's response of their efforts to bring him back to the u k. well. i think that you know we we need a long term policy. to r.c. ron i mean when he went in saying we elect you know the international community and from torture to it hasn't been you know. a united. policy most of the time western governments they are occupied with the short term results for instance like putting all their efforts in bringing back iran today. you know to do the nuclear i cri meant these are all short term policies and i think that you know back to kingdom like other western countries they don't have

a long term strategic policy towards iran and i mean they protest but you know iranian authorities know it very well that. by doing what they are doing no they can actually buy more time who should remember that. biggest threat to the iranian authorities is not foreign governments it's own people. who go out protesting and the international community don't back them up you know they don't support them and as long as you're wrong feels threatened from inside they will pose a threat towards the region and also international community ok thank you so much for that mahmoud. there the founder of iran human rights. from the ruins of churches in northern iraq where i saw once ruled spoke false us has called on christians to forgive the injustices committed against them the

leader of the roman catholic church was met by a large crowds in mosul and also the town of car costs there in the twin dueling christian communities historic heartland it was nearly a raised during our souls reign you know every 14 years to me it's a matter of conversion of the hearts reconciliation and putting aside our differences we must all work together for the future effort to turn all of which recognizes a common humanity and together build a dialogue and forgive. pope francis is now celebrating mass at a stadium in that's the capital of iraq's northern kurdish region the 1st day of a papal visit to iraq will wrap up on monday smoke a full team is in erbil and explained why the city is able to host such a large event. reason why this venue may have been chosen for such a large gathering is perhaps 1st of all because their bill is hold quite a large community of displaced christians who fled eisel back in 2014 and who still

live here because they don't either feel safe to go back to their villages or because those areas are still destroyed with no services or no infrastructure and other reason maybe because the semi also the most kurdish region and to be in the capital are relatively safe compared to the rest of iraq we we see a relatively few security incidents here and of course security has been one of the major concerns you're in district so to that end may have enabled this this larger gathering here but throughout all the meetings that the pope has held over the past 3 days that the message has been very consistent and that message has been one of reconciliation of unity of coexistence of diversity has been repeating those words many times earlier today when he visited the old city in mosul and also when he gave his speech in the village or the town of color. here's some of what still to

come in the news all allegations of fraud emerging on every coast as the country awaits election results. the highly anticipated interview causing discomfits within britain's royal family. and its course we'll hear from a tennis player who's become a 2 time cut open champion and he will have that story. for saudi led coalition in yemen. his hit to the rebel targets in the capital sana'a. a residential area was struck during the operation and there are the force of casualties earlier riyadh said to who these subside a missile and a number of drones that an oil facility and civilian areas inside the kingdom the saudis say they were intercepted and destroyed these meanwhile say that shot down a saudi spy plane ahmed al top sent us this report from sun are just after the

saudi air strikes. we can see columns of small can fire still raising up in the sky over. the saudi fighter jets a military compound or the control of the whole of these in the north west of the capital it is called the maintenance military compound there are no trees that have been reported so far but the. spread told around the civilians in this area people still remember the cloud of the saudi bombing the city of sana'a. according to some observation also i would was over 5. be carried out on this military compound and also on the arm of a military side or military position to the south of the capital from our there are

more than 50 aires have been carried out in the in the region of mughal where they hold these are trying to advance towards the city of the believe that the world can take control of the city in order to gain the supply of fuel they say that the saudi cooperation has tightened there is structures on the floor. to. control. the u.s. secretary of state has written to afghanistan's president outlining the biden administration's peace strategy antony blinken makes several proposals including an intention to ask the united nations to convene foreign ministers and envoys from russia china pakistan iran india and the united states to discuss a unified approach to supporting peace and afghanistan he adds we will ask the government of turkey to host a senior level meeting of both sides of the coming weeks to finalize a peace agreement and we have prepared a revised proposal for

a 90 day reduction in violence a diplomatic editor james spaces that the united nations james so why are blinken and joe biden i suggest i suspect are suggesting this now. well i think it's an effort to fast track the diplomatic process if you look at the diplomacy the u.s. is involved in and that is the priority for this new u.s. administration you've got the iran deal but i think the one that probably is the most urgent right now is afghanistan remember there was a deal done between the u.s. and the taliban talks in doha and under that deal all u.s. troops are supposed to leave on the 1st of may so that's just a matter of weeks away the problem is the 2nd stage of the doha process which was the afghan government sitting down with the taliban has got completely bogged down so now the u.s. is piling on the pressure the 1st stage is to have as you say

a meeting of foreign ministers of concerned regional countries brokered by the u.n. i'm trying to get comment here at u.n. headquarters from the u.n. on this i think the u.n. has only been asked to host this because one of those invited is iran and because of that nuclear deal and a delicacy of it the u.s. couldn't actually chair such talks. then a new process this time in turkey and this time it's going to be different because the u.s. says it has its own proposals for a cease fire and a settlement that is going to put forward to all the sides and i think the most important thing of all is that the u.s. is keeping that date of the 1st of may on the table it says it's still under consideration pulling your troops out and it ends the letter that has been sent by the secretary of state to the afghan president with quite a sort of chilling message it says even with the continuation of financial assistance from the u.s. to your forces after an american military withdrawal i'm concerned the security

situation will worsen and that the taliban could make rapid territorial gains i'm making this clear to you so you understand the urgency of my tone in other words he's telling the afghan government we're going to do a fast track process and you better get on board otherwise the american forces might leave and you might be toppled by the taliban. all right thanks so much for that james bays there at the united nations. results are slowly being announced after ivory coast's parliamentary election the poll was largely free of the violence that erupted during the presidential election in october but some in the opposition are accusing the election commission of colluding to rig the results of editors joins us now live from abidjan the largest city in ivory coast to tell us more about how the vote went and also a little bit more about these accusations that the results have been rigged. well the vote one drum very well across much of 5 records and this was a test

a 2 way so many observers however what we're hearing from the opposition especially the p. d.c.i. party of former president horne economy is that the board was rigged and that the are claiming victory in the legislative elections saying that they have won $128.00 out of the $255.00 seats in parliament which of course the ruling party or the governing party said it's on course to win not only majority but a comfortable majority in parliament according to the p.c.i. the vote was rigged in several years they have been violence and threats again against opposition voters and supporters in various parts of the country which they said marred the election but also insisted that the tunnel for the board was not more than 20 percent of the registered voters in this country and they are warning the election commission that they will not accept a situation whereby the election commission is colluding with the governing party

to rig this election that's the situation right now and a lot of people this is what a lot of ivorians fear. some kind of instigation or protest or claim of winning or counter claims of winning the election from all political parties just before the election commission and also as a result it's in the process of doing that yesterday a few results came in and they were declared right now it's been going on since 14 g.m.t. and we expect before the end of the day the whole results will come in and that's what voters are waiting unctuously waiting to see what happens a lot of people are afraid that violence may break out following the announcement of the results but we wait to see how things pan out from now amended correct me if i'm wrong but hadn't told sides agreed to accept the results of these votes in an attempt to avoid that violence that followed the presidential election.

exactly they all did and unfortunately that's the situation in most parts of africa west african particular wife covered elections peace deal will be signed by various political parties and when the election when it comes down to election and announcement of election results that's where the complications start now basically what we have seen what we are seeing is that this could be the child's for the opposition to remain politically relevant after. the presidential elections last year so if they don't make an impact this year it could drastically affect their chances when the presidential elections come in in 5 years' time all right thank you for that ahmed interests there covering the elections in ivory coast. and meanwhile a prominent muslim politician has reportedly died after being arrested overnight by security forces can mala cause of death isn't known but as tony chang reports the

police and all may have been carrying out increasingly brutal raids throughout the country. they come in the night firing stun grenades and live around. soldiers and police roaming residential neighborhoods shooting into buildings smashing property as they pass the some these are detention squads seizing protest leaders politicians and civil servants dragged away to an uncertain fate elsewhere they're cleaning up peeling stickers of the coup leader general min onli off the road but for those watching from behind twitching curtains it's clear they have one main goal to intimidate. the yangon resident who filmed this told al-jazeera that pulte armed soldiers and police have been searching houses for members of the national league for democracy or in. the whole of our neighborhood in shock today is frightened we can't sleep at night in case they come

back. but the protesters have some mind games to play too in many areas clothes lines of women's skirts so long cheeses the known and underwear are now hanging overhead playing on the superstitions of the soldiers and police and the only time i can i the reason why we hang with lunges across the street is that we have the traditional belief that if we pass underneath the laundry we might lose our luck the younger generation nowadays doesn't believe it anymore but the soldiers still do and it's their weakness so we might gain more time to run if they come towards us. against the security services these obstacles are more effective than barricades so bob why. i just the sunsets another sad ritual in modern myanmar vigils for those who died on the streets in the cities of yangon mandalay da way and elsewhere the candles burned to commemorate a growing list of names until the darkness and the security services claim the

streets once more toni ching al-jazeera. much more still ahead schools in england get ready to bring our combat troops with caution. striving for stability can't believe you recover from this a political turmoil might well spot and damage people go to the polls to decide. and force an important win on home style so this story is going to hold for all while comp time's up. how i once again the weather slow set fire across much of the middle east at the moment but basin places the cloud just easing over towards afghanistan one of 2 showers coming in here just some showers into eastern parts of turkey just around the cocos georgia could see a shower would see maybe armenia as well as we go on through

because we have will have more people in the classroom and it's going to be. it's going to be more exciting many parents are just as excited this is what we're waiting for honestly i'm with kids all the time my husband he's working all day sell everything he's on my child there so i'm really glad they coming back to school is that good for the future because it's not but their place their school you know and for education so is amazing here i think through just tied to emotionally exhausted and we're on our last little nothing all battery of kind of of energy so looking forward to getting back to normal so it had to make a lot of changes to the school this is want i had teacher here has been finalizing her reopening plan so every class 3 house new equipment senate to make sure the children are safe and secure there's been classes run throughout lockdown for the children of the workers such as health care staff but more than 80 percent of the

school's pupils have been absent since january the 5th these empty classrooms are going to suddenly fill again for what promises to be an overwhelming return children need to be happy and settled and for some children especially this last bit of luck it's been really tough they've been stuck inside they haven't happened or contact with white or friends and family so i think it's going to be quite difficult for those children to come back and reintegrate into school but we've got lots of things in place for them. in scotland or wales children won't all return to full time schooling until after easter another month from now but in england nearly $7000000.00 pupils are returning on mass the u.k. government has opted for a big bang return to school bringing all the children back on the same date subject to the school's ability to conduct tests but teaching unions have expressed concerns while prime minister resisted calls for children to go back after the

febrile half term and the extra 2 weeks of closure has allowed the u.k.'s 7 day average to drop from 12000 new cases a day to just 6 and a half 1000 a day but amid all the excitement of friends reunited at the school gates the government's scientific advisors face a nervous wait to see what impact the school's reopening will have on that crucial infection data. al-jazeera. so it's a lind is waiting for the results of a contentious vote on whether to ban face coverings in public the proposal doesn't mention islam specifically its non-locally as the burka ban the right wing swiss people's party is among those backing a yes vote in the referendum about its describe it as islamophobia and an attack on personal freedoms any band would have many exceptions including for health and for cold weather. city are luger nodar is head of women's rights at amnesty

international switzerland she joins us now from berne thank you for your time how many women actually wear full face coverings in switzerland what is this really about. we don't have a fishel they don't know about it but a recent study is showing that they are only about 30 women were. in the caribbean switzerland so there are very few women concerned ok so what why is this going ahead what is this all about it. this is the 2nd time populistic committee is launching an initiative that is story getting one very just minority in particular they started in 2009 was the banning of building of their it which has been successfully approved of all others and this stone attacked again a religious symbol and instrument that is to remain to advanced populistic agenda

so what is the narrative that's been put forward then to get people to try and support this because polls say maybe half of the people do support this what arguments have been made to try and garner that kind of support. according to opinion surveys people have been convinced by misleading propaganda that banning full face veil would help protect the rights of mostly improvements which is of course not the case on the contrary dishpan can have a negative impact on do women in question they can be marginalized and excluded from public spaces you argue that this is not a referendum at all this is an attempt an initiative to try and change the constitution can you explain that for me yes exactly but in our political system we have the possibility to launch initiatives that means gather signatures and

then to submit proposals to amend the constitution and this been done by this committee they gathered signatures and then we had to vote to amend our constitution and that was 1st of all others have approved to amend our constitution it's a very tight majority according to projections 52 percent of swiss voters approved a change in our constitution saying that it is prohibited to wear covering face coverings and that includes wearing. so it's not the 1st country to consider full face cover band many more some others in europe have already done this why are we seeing this across europe and i'm not just thinking about you know this being pushed by the far right i'm wondering what

it is that the far right is tapping into here. i think. if we look at debates around this initiative and opinion surveys we cannot say that it is a rejection of mostly community but it's rather rejection of radicalism it is fear of radicalism that influence people but unfortunately it is perceived by the whole. muslim community as an attack against their beliefs and 3 in force as well negative stereotypes about muslims in general really taps into their whole us versus them. dichotomy doesn't it have to leave it at a time said. thank you so much for your time. thank you. voting has started in bolivia for local elections seen as

a test of support for the socialist government many hope they will signal an end to 2 years of instability including allegations of electoral fraud and a right wing coup and reports from neighboring argentina. it's always been difficult for xander and her family to eke out a living but the pandemic has made their lives harder still for her not working is not an option and i mean yeah it's for my family my mom and dad have been sick and the medicines are very expensive all we can do is go out and keep working. voting in bolivia as obligatory on the would go to the ballot box with little optimism is that. even though the elections bring new authorities the politics are always the same they campaign they talk a lot but when they're in power they forget i believe it will always be like that.

libya is striving for stability after years of political turmoil with saul former president evo morales flee the country in 2019 to be replaced by a right wing interim government socialists and now back in charge nationally but it's your thirties handling of the pandemic that now underlines every campaign promise every political decision in the stall is going to do. all the candidates all over the country have said they'll fight against the disease but there are still particular problems in each region in relation to infrastructure. the pandemic has starkly highlighted the issues that most concern bolivian voters. the most important is health not just physical but mental health too and with what we're going through right now with this virus we also need to be economically stable. medical professionals are on strike over government emergency measures to

fight the disease or the number of daily new infections continue to rise. has killed more than 3000 people in bolivia. a former minister unable well as his government one presidential elections last october organized at the height of the pandemic. his 1st few months in office dominated by corporate 90 the vaccines are arriving but not as many and not as often as people would like is with. us it is very difficult to buy vaccines in the world today is very difficult to get them all countries are trying to buy a back seat. that's not what rick santorum millions of bolivia is like i want to hear the degree of patience and understanding they have in their politicians handling of the pandemic will be reflected in the ballot box. that there are 01 osiris. roman catholic. demanding justice for the victims of the 2980 s.

voting is underway in the election that will decide who becomes the new president's of barcelona football club is a vote that could have a big impact on the future of legal messy messy has already made his choice privately there are 3 candidates with former president run of course of the favorite so when business minute dictaphones and former board member tiny frazier the other names in the race more than 100000 club members have the rights of vote whoever wins will be tasked with taking the club forward despite debts exceeding a $1000000000.00 it's really been very obvious though you know about us are the most important elections in the history of our circus and they make bar some more than a club with voting i believe that everybody all the fans including myself we all want to take part in this and have members come to vote because that makes us more than a club. or playing games behind closed doors contributed to losses of $115000000.00 for the last financial year they've also spent close to $500000000.00 on players over the last couple of seasons that's one $146000000.00 more than they've earned

from player transfers then messi he's in a contract with $167000000.00 a season that deal ends in june and messy wanted to leave the club before this season began and on monday former president was arrested as part of a corruption investigation well we've been talking at sea sports finance analyst dan plumlee of sheffield hallam university who believes the new president will have some room to maneuver despite all those financial challenges. there's old laundry in financial issues here with cost alone in the stretch back you know over the course of a number of years debt in itself is not necessarily a bad thing of course but if he's not being able to service that debt in and as it falls to you and i think the short term aspect of the debt you know around 400000000 of that is this year we've mentioned the pandemic and bosler ical that has been hard and some because of the pandemic if you look at the museum alone and international tourism that brings them in $58000000.00 euros per year they're

estimating $200000000.00 euros lost revenue because of the pandemic him and funds not being ground so there are this is a kind of perfect storm also i don't know i think barcelona can afford to keep messi i don't think that's. potentially an issue i think the terms of the greenman will will be key here obviously we know that the current squad have taken a pay cut we know that barcelona's wages are $3.00 quarters of their revenue so that 75 percent wages to turnover is a concern i think the interesting thing with messi and one of the one of the presidential candidates has said this is that he he makes 08 percent of barcelona's cost base but he generates them around 30 percent of their revenue so it is in the fact that here with a little messy enough around he's overall value to barcelona but i think you know from a wages perspective of course he's the biggest earner so moving somebody like him on and off the wage bill would be a weight loss but i don't think any of the candidates really you know want to do
