faith, still haunted by a devastating cholera outbreak, finds itself drastically short of funds to fight cobra 19 iranians and losing in the presidential election. that's widely expected to be won by a hard line. judge judiciary chief abraham racy, cast his ballot at southern tougher on that opinion. polls show enthusiasm, along many people. his low turn out is expected to be under 50 percent ratio. victory would put hardliners in control across the government to try to salvage the nuclear deal. and recover from the pandemic and outgoing president husbandry honey . who can't run again due to term limits is urging people to get out and vote out about to let these elections are very important. and i invite all citizens to participate. we must not allow the problems that we witness,

since people applied to run for candidacy to effect participation in the elections . citizens must realize how important these elections are to their destiny and the fate of the islamic republic. popular participation and broad participation in the elections will lead to the disappointment of the enemy. you also have a storage, a barriers outside of putting station in town from what's happening. got there. right now, dawson is assured to win the selection. well we've been speaking to the voters that started trickling in early this morning. that posed open at 7 am local time and the one the most of the people that we spoke who said they are voting for every him, right. you see the 60 year old is currently the head of her on the sherry and a conservative candidates and the people that we asked how they were voting and why they were voting that way. the main answer was that they are tired of the moderates and the reform its promises that they've been getting over the past. 8 years at the

polling station behind me is one of the nearly 67000 pulling stations across the country. there's about $60000000.00 eligible voters in iran, whether or not most of them will come out today needs to be seen. but at all levels of government and officials have been making the rounds this morning to try and urge the public to come out to vote today. of course, the supreme leader was the 1st person to vote in the country. following that, the holding stations, you're open them, we're just seeing people trickling in. one analyst i spoke to said this, today's seen that he's being is very different than it was 4 years ago in 2017. when president sandrani was elected, he said it's much quieter, much calmer. of course corona virus is one of the factors. they said there's also a lot of voter apathy and that is something that we're hearing a lot about consistently in the coming days leading up to today's boat. so what's behind that voter apathy and what will it mean or whoever wins this election? the legitimacy well,

it certainly means that the next president around a president will be not a very popular one. once he takes office in august. this election is likely to be very low, turn out numbers in terms of voters last round in 2017 border turn out was about 70 percent. the lowest ever in the islamic republic, since the revolution of 1979 was in 1993 voter turnout was around 50 percent. and it's likely this will be lower than that. that's what the analysts are expecting. and officials, i've been saying that this is important because it's, it's shows that people are satisfied with the establishment, the voters, we folks and say it's not a matter of being satisfied with the established system as a whole. it's a matter for them of being dissatisfied with the government and mainly the country's economy. the number one concern for every water and that line behind me is iran economy. unemployment rate is that it's all time high inflation rate. is that 40 percent that has lost 80 percent of its value since just for years ago?

of course, all of this as a result of that, so called maximum personal campaign that the united states donald trump administration, started on iran when they withdrew from the nuclear deal. that is what we're seeing the results up at the moment. now in this country, i was just, there was such a barrier putting live that from to the front door. so many things. war violence and human rights violations drove another 3000000 people from their homes last year . even as the pandemic shot borders and restricted movement, the u. n says that the cumulative total of displace people is reached almost $82.00 and a half 1000000. around half of them are children. numbers written now for 9 straight years. more than 2 thirds of all refugees come from just 5 countries, syria, venezuela, afghanistan, south sudan, mamma, where conflict continues. turkey hosts the largest number of refugees around 3700000 of them. most of them from syria,

our guest in the strait with tear gas for my history professor, who has been a devices in the west african nation. he served as president from 2002. he was defeated by rival and a son or tara in 2010. when baba refused to except the result, crowd march through abbey, georgia. 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. bubble was found by government forces hiding in a bunker. yeah. his home, 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 4 but was return at least many questions about the role he may take in

politics and reconciliation for the victims of the wall. it will bring the, the existing divisions in too much clearer sight. i think. the the, the party oblong by both the 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. his return is touted as an important step to heal old words. and i guess i don't want to much more reconciling. i typically divided country many more to,

to see the real nice question and i was not good in because of the weather to reconcile. the news was never se, considering his long absence and distrust among many a part of that job shouldn't be left to the former president and all the rest. i'll give you that, i'll be jo, north korean leader kim jong and has told his government path both dialogue and confrontation with the united states. the ruling policy in the days of the u. s. again urged it to give up its nuclear program and return to talks. robert bride reports from sol with these statements and north korean leader kim jong and appears to be keeping his options open on how to deal with the united states. saying that north korea should be prepared for both dialogue but also a possible confrontation. his remarks have been eagerly awaited ever since the meeting last month between the south korean and us presidents on how to deal with

north korea moving forward after the review by the us on it strategy to north korea . deciding and declaring that they would be following a policy of dialogues with these comments. this does seem to be a slightly conciliatory gesture from north korea. and it does contrast with a harder position with kim jong and saying that they would only ever be dialogue with the united states. if the americans desisted from what he called their aggressive approach towards north korea. now these comments have come at an important plenary session of the ruling workers, party and young young which has been going on this week, which has been dealing with a number of different problems facing north korea. most notable amongst them being the current food shortage with kim's younger and saying that there is a tense food situation that really has to be dealt with. this follows on from devastating storms and typhoons last year,

which impacted the harvest. also compounding problems that already existed because of international sanctions and also the pan demik. it is slightly unusual for a north korean leader to admit to such failings. it would normally be seen as a sign of weakness, but then came jargon, has differentiated himself from his predecessors admitting the mistakes apologizing to his people for the sufferings they are enduring. and of course, having food shortages is something which you couldn't dr. easily lie about or hide people know that in the coming months especially there will be a daily struggle finding enough to eat the weather. coming up next on houses here up and then millions of americans keep the health insurance of the u. s. supreme court rejects another attempt to scrap what's known as obamacare and the boss, the woman who started the $500.00 day protest to save one of europe's few undeveloped rivers, went to so called green nobel. ah,
