elated crowds finally get a peek, a little bubble as he touches down in junk airport to them. he's a hero coming home to the ivory coast after a decade in exile. but many of us consider him a war criminal. not far from felix who had bony airport st field with talking to gas, a report of gunshots. as police clear area was retell. i know that they are stopping us from going to the airport to receive their president. we who want reconciliation. they have been mistreating us since this morning. anger surprise from the street was party. the volume popular front dance you put us through yesterday we came as the council ministers meeting and the spokesperson for the government indicated very clearly that the government no longer had any active prohibition of gatherings, which we are sales to the level of organization have never been told we are

surprised at the moment people who are about to welcome the president, our guest in the strait with tear gas for my history professor, who has been a device is to get in the west african nation. he served as president from 2010. he was defeated by rival of a son or tara in 2010. when bubble refused to accept the result, crowd march through abbey jones. by march, the crisis escalated into a full military conflict between forces loyal to bubble and water supporters. although the war was brief, more than 3000 people perished. but what was found by government forces hiding in a bunker? yeah, his hall. he was arrested, exiled and handed over to the international criminal court, acquitted of all kinds in 2019. he still faced challenges at home after the government charged immunization to 2 decades in prison for stealing funds from the central bank. one prison water has allowed for return at least many questions about

the role he may take in politics and reconciliation for the victims of the wall that will bring the the existing divisions in too much clearer sight. i think. the the, the party oblong by body f p. i has been divided down the middle ever since his arrest in 2010. and there is a need for sort of an internal hopefully dialogue, but at least some kind of reckoning within the f b. i party in relation to the ruling party and their supporters. you know, there's been a sustained critique that allison water hasn't really taken national reconciliation seriously enough. but before questions there will be celebrations from a strong base of supporters is return is talented as an important step to heal old words and anger residence. chris,

to how much more productive reconciling i typically divided many more to to see if the realize that could be $1.00 to $103.00. i'm going to say, considering his long absence and give distrust among many a board is that job shouldn't be left to the former president and all the rest. i'll give you that. i be joe, david otto, his director of the geneva center for africa, security and strategic studies. he says political tensions could rise in the coming weeks. i think it's a very strategy period for him to return, especially at the time when the support for the government is deeply divided after the president know, run their controversial election, which will see by the positions as being against the constitution of 2016. so we'll

get to see what will happen now. the purple has been allowed to drive because the snow in which is john the headquarters of his political party. different populate, were you? i think the difficulty not especially for the is who was responsible for these crime against humanity and you know, for the curious, if indeed the one who has been acquitted. if those been in a situation where to where each learn bible is, know by the i c c, then i think the responsibility for the disease to be able to find out who actually committed these crimes. and, you know, there's some things that you know, the government of the day and what should also be held responsible for some of these plans. but again, you know, it comes down to how to react. if he decides to go the other way. that is, you know, to, to chris for, you'll see that he's completely,

you know, saying he wants to run for presidency or he wants to continue with korea. you know, we may see a lot of tension within the next few days or weeks. so that way, you know, give some kind of, you know, re reconciliation period. very difficult. i already had to the polls and just a few was to pick the next president. but there are worries about how many people will actually vote that suggestions. many people are disillusioned because several candidates have been blocked from running for people of volume for the top job. be able to claim that i see is widely seen as the frontrunner. he's the head of the judiciary and has the support of hard liners. often that is a, is a former chief of the revolutionary god. he's a critic of the 2050 nuclear deal, dumped the perennial candidate he is wrong. and last 4 times. the youngest

candidate is saying, because he saw the show me was the deputy speaker of parliament, and those are the not so how much the former governor over runs with central bank. he supports reviving the nuclear deal with western powers, actually saw he is a senior lecturer in middle east politics and international relations at the university of bradford. he says many people will stay away from the polls as a form of protest. i don't think what we see at the moment in the iran is about political apathy or indifference. what we see at the moment in iran is not apathy. i don't think people can't afford to be apathetic. i mean about indifference. i think people are extremely distribution with the political system and more importantly, there are disillusioned with the government because it seems that they have realized that despite actually what a lot of presidential candidates actually claim and promise in the end when you do

look at your kind of petite uranium political system, there is a limit to what the president can do in the end entirely up to the supreme leader. i'm the elective organ like our gc connected took it off. and this time, instead of actually attending out being conduct the electro pulled, they have decided to use kind of the power in a very kind of seeing bullets manner use that was just shit by, by putting the election to i genuinely don't think it should be interpreted as a pathetic move, it should be interpreted as a symbolic, just so bike with the election to send a very clear message to the political system that people are frustrated with the economy. mismanagement people are frustrated with adventures and in the foreign policy which has led to

a lot of sasha and so many other difficulties that are affecting almost every facet of life on databases. in iran, the us supreme court has rejected a challenge to the affordable care act, widely known as obamacare. the judges will to $7.00 to $2.00 against the republican lead effort. to scrap the plan. i'll just see it as hydrogen capital has more and what this means for the obama administration signature legislation. it was the 3rd challenge. and the 3rd time the u. s. supreme court has ruled in favor of obamacare, a milestone that the laws, namesake, former president brock obama. read it by tweeting the affordable care act is here to stay. the moment comes 11 years after obama backed by then vice president joe biden signed the affordable care act into law. today. after all, the votes have been tally. health insurance reform becomes law in the united states

of america. but marred by a law rule out and relentless attacks from conservatives. the law, the recently nicknamed obamacare by republicans soon became a cultural flashpoint. donald trump's rise to the white house in 2016 was partly fueled by the country's divisions surrounding obamacare. but even as republicans campaigned against the health care law, americans began signing up in droves, reaching 31000000 enrollees amid the cobra. 19 pandemic. i think having a pandemic like covered meant that you had an economic downturn of the same time that you had a large health catastrophe. and the proof is in the pudding right. and that the people losing their jobs facing decreases in their salary, but also needing health care or able to get the care they needed through insurance coverage. and i think that the positives just the steven briar a liberal, wrote the supreme court's majority opinion released thursday. the chief justice

john roberts and 3 conservatives, including 2 trump appointees, sided with the liberals, delivering the 7 to ruling the texas lag standing to bring the suit. president joe biden called it a big win for the american people. the supreme court did not decide broader legal issues raised by the case about whether the affordable care act remains constitutional. after congress struck down a key provision of the law in 2012. that means while the justice is preserved, health care once again for millions of americans, they did not rule out hearing future challenges to obamacare. hydro castro al jazeera washington are still ahead on alger 0 from colorado to corona virus. the un warns of humanitarian crisis in haiti is the need for food and medical assistance, grows cycling for safety. co testers and mexico city among justice is

tensions in the country. radians had the polls in about 15 minutes to pick their next president, but there are concerns, voter turnout is going to be low suggestions. many people the disillusioned because several candidates have been blocked for money. the u. s. supreme court has rejected a challenge to the affordable care act, widely known as obamacare. it's the 3rd time the court has preserved from it was introduced in 2010 the united states has created a new national holiday to mark the end of slavery in the nation. president joe biden has signed a bill into law to commemorate what's become known as june teams. alan fisher is more from washington d. c. we are gathered here and a house built by and slaves, people in a ceremony at the white house, it became official. the de slavery ended in america is now a national holiday. june 19 10800. 65 was the de union troops fried the last slaves

in texas. 2 years after president lincoln's emancipation proclamation. a day that has become known as june 10th. this is a day of profound and might be profound weight and profound power. day which remember the moral stain, the terrible toll that slavery took on the country and continues to take. it's the 1st national holiday approved since in 1900 eighty's for some it's something but doesn't address real issues of today. it avoids one of the major issues and that is the human rights of african american. people across the country took to the streets in the past year, advocating for racial equality, demanding our gym reforms to the justice system. in recent months, many states have past due voting laws, which activists have claimed make it more difficult for people of color to vote.

and there's growing cause for some form of reparations for slavery itself, for the generations which have suffered the consequences. but for the protesters, they now have a national holiday. lack people want their full citizenship to be recognized not to be infringed upon. and while they are so many efforts to do so, some of the same senators who are trying to take away voting right, won't pass police reform and won't do many other things, you know, trying to change education are the same. people who said you have a will give you a symbolic holiday and you should be happy to biden says this is a big deal. currently, there are discussions underway on capital hill about justice reform, senators, a coming under pressure to do more to protect voting rights across the country, all say many bite and supporters. much more important than approving a federal holiday. alan fisher, i'll just it up at the white house, red cars,

an associate professor of african studies, and a chair of the department of afro american studies at howard university explains the significance of making june teams and official holiday public holidays are rituals of social cohesion. and you know, they are attempts to knit national cultural identities. and no doubt the critics, those who say this isn't enough for us to lose too late, or just symbolic, are correct in the impulse of those who are against structural change. and yet, is they wanting perhaps to adopt a holiday and avert or racial reckoning? i don't think that they are all for that. but to understand the roots of june, teen is to understand that this is a ritual of celebration that was always also a ritual of critique of injustice. a ritual of black unity or ritual bit combined memory and actions. so when you see a country adopt this as a public holiday,

it's another point of entry to have any that is if nothing else accelerate, ultimately that, that, that work of social transformation. a couple of us who pointed guns that black lives matter, protesters applied guilty to charges. stemming from the incident, the mccloskies drew international attention when they came out of their home and started waving weapons demonstrators passing by on the street as part of a play deal. the husband and wife accepted charges of harrison and sold and they've been fined in nearly $3000.00 in a groups. a warning the covered $900.00 situation is spiraling out of control enough gunnison. the international committee of the red cross assess hospital is already full in many areas. with oxygen supplies running out in the country is seeing a huge spike in danny cases and a record number of deaths, less than half

a natural next step to be doing a study where you're looking at the next scene. after we've kind of done the initial studies looking at the 1st day says we've got to move forward because we know there a variance that coming through and things like that. and we may need to be people's immunity to be able to protect them against areas. susan porters, one of nearly 3000 participants receiving a booster of one of 8 different vaccines, including a placebo meningitis job as a front line worker in charge of a dementia care home. she was one of the 1st people in the u. k to be fully vaccinated. the fact seems in this chart or the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, pfizer, all participants. so 1st screen for suitability. guided through any possible side effects. it's been quite difficult to manage everybody's expectations and keep people say, and present them the mental health of my rapid and impact is massive and it's going to be massive going forward. and that's to be find a solution. this is the coal face of covey. 19 research that they took to have

a carefully and methodically by these researches will eventually informed decision makers around the world the child so sensitive. we cannot film doses being administered in case participants find out which one they've received. while scientists here are considering 3rd doses, millions of people around the world haven't received a single one. the concern is that if boost jobs prove effective, rich nations may choose to continue holding supplies rather than sharing them with other ations. my hope is that there will be enough doses to go round that in the, by the end of the year and an into next year. could be that cobra back thing last a lot longer than we think. and some people might not need a booster straight away or so soon, or it could be that because of the barrier virus, we all need much higher immunity than initially had been produced by office 2 doses . the vaccines are being tried at 18 sites across the u. k,

a funding issue, right. we've, we haven't had the funds that we, that we need. the source of the cholera epidemic that ultimately claimed 10000 lives was unclear at 1st, but was ultimately trace to the inadequate handling of sewage at annapolis, un peacekeeping base. we apologize for the haitian people, the secretary general at the time bunky moon, eventually apologized for the un handling of the crisis. in a new memoir, he calls it a lasting stain on the us reputation. the u. s. has since spent more than $700000000.00 fighting colorado, haiti, and another $8000000.00 so far in victim lead community development. but a u. s. court ruled that the united nations could not be sued for damages due to diplomatic immunity. and no victims have ever been directly compensated. we are not the higher bird legally on this method,

but that does not mean that we are not responsible. morally. that's why i did my best to ready support his paper is completely misleading and manipulative. international law professor and former un special rapid tour, philip often says the un may have immunity import, but it does have a responsibility to compensate victims under its own charter. this is not a question of a moral duty. it's a legal duty. we screwed these people live to pay for it. in his book, bond describes lawyers who attempted to get compensation for haitians who lost loved ones as attempting to extort the un. mario joseph was one of those lawyers. when they came to the bed, 82 people murdered. kinda looking for you know, what about us? that's why it eric dodge of mr. but give haiti hasn't had

a new case of cholera and 2 years, but the country has yet to recover with yet another deadly disease on the rise. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations. you know, you watch a full interview with former un secretary general banking moon at 430 g m t on saturday. here on talk to al jazeera state of emergency has been declared across parts of crimea, annexed by russia after a heavy rain cause widespread flooding. emergency workers say about 300 homes and a hospital. i've been flooded in the city of coach entire sections of the city under water. the streets of pot cars submerged. these 22 ciphers have been killed in mexico's capital the so far this year that according to activists, are calling on the government to do more to protect people riding to the city streets. i don't offload reports from mexico city.
