percent, which saw president sandra hardy elected for a 2nd term. this time around, things are quite different as part of that has to do with the pound force. but also the other part of that there's a very high voter apathy in neuron due to the fact that many radians say they haven't seen that kind of change. they want to see with the government over the past a year, things have only gotten worse. inflation is at an old time, higher employment rates in the country. there's really no hope for the average voters to continue the trends of voting for a moderate or reform a candidate for that reason, the people that we spoke to this morning here that were voting. the ones that shared with their voting for there was one name really and that was for him, right. you see that was kept here and over and over again. and the reason for that was because they believe he could provide some change. he can these things around shift things around in the hope that things will get better for their iranians. right? those are many thanks. data sources very live that for us in 10 from war violence

need to do more. why are these people moving? they're moving because of economy reasons, and this will require massive investments in their countries of origin. but they're also moving because of violence and insecurity perpetrated by gangs in the community in the homes. and these are reasons to recognize people as refugees, but also these are causes that need to be addressed in court. the nation in partnership with countries in the region for my ivory coast president lauren bank, both told supporters that he's happy to be home. he's returned off to spending years abroad and being acquitted of crimes against humanity. the georgia state back to 2010, when by bo refused to concede defeat an election more than 3000 people were killed in the violence that followed. the, i'm happy with being back in ivory coast in africa because i know that i am from ivory coast, but in prison. i knew that i belonged to africa. all of africa,

active privation 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. if the guy in the west african nation. he served as president from 2010. he was defeated by rival and a son or tara in 2010. when bob refused to accept 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. 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 to try 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. it will bring the, the existing divisions in too much clearer sight. i think the, the, the party along 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, mana and anger resident. how much more reconciling? i typically divided country many more to realize that could be one to 103 i was never say considering his long absence and give distrust among many a part of that job shouldn't be left to the former president a law decreased. i'll give you, i'll be your gunman in nigeria have reported the kidnapped at least 800 students in a raid on a school in the northwestern state of cabbie police say that 5 teachers was abducted, and little officer was killed in the 3rd mass. kidnapping that in 3 weeks more this now from serious fidelis, by who's in a budget. what more do we know after denison has any group claimed responsibility for the abduction with no group has claim

responsibility. but in recent times, we've seen tcs on my abduction of students in around especially around in northwest region of the country yesterday. the man hard to talk to the school where during the process they shut down, one of the policemen who tried to put up the resistance. it's in trying to protect the student from being kidnapped. and another student was also shot and is critically injured. and some of the students who try to run away from the findings will also injure the school has actually not come out to talk about the number of people that students were picking by. the government has also not to be issued any statements, but the police have confirmed that the police officer was killed and that fetching nearby forest around the town. where do you see that happen in new york? so that to be able to find out if the students are being kept in

a nearby place so that they can con, commence a rescue operation. as you said, cases of mass abductions are rising by the day. what are the authorities saying and doing about this that the president, harmony has said that he's making efforts to ensure that the security people gets all the support they need to be able to continue rising kisses violence because we had the, the countries faced with insurgency and did not deal with harm and also the ice what the mix data with africa programs have been also carrying out talks in the northeast and would be increasing pieces of for martha options, especially in schools and towns and villages in the northwest. also, we have cases of editors, security, been engaged in the fight with physician is in the eastern part of the country. and

also in the south with we had us have continued to clash with farmers so that the security operate is actually the trust because now dealing with the 2 high rise in cases of the kids across the country. and again, these people come with very sophisticated weapons with sometimes at the military and even the police are not being able to. we found out various fidelis by reporting live from a boucher fidelis. many thanks. cindy's. in the news ahead, i did my best to ready support. here's your paper. we talked to former un chief bank a moon about his regrets over the cholera outbreak of ravaged k t plus. this is a really, really, really important moment in history. the us president touches americans to learn from history is and he, holiday has created commemorating the end of slavery. ah

hello for the southeast of australia. it's been particularly when it's, you know, south australia, adelaide 46 millimeters of rain over the past 24 hours. he scooped up that is the heaviest rainfall that we have seen in the past 5 years. we have a disturbance that will play coastal areas of victoria and new south wales. we could see wins about 75 kilometers per hour. then if we look toward the west, the cold front is going to slice across for perth. watch what it does to your temperatures. i think we may only get up to a high of 12 or 13 degrees on monday. you know, for new zealand that disturbance we are talking about that's going to impact victoria and new south wales. it's going to sling wet weather toward the north island. that's the picture on saturday. but watch the intensity as we head towards

sunday through good spin. and here we may see winds whip up to about a 100 kilometers per hour. so very serious weather to come, for se, asia, we're going to get into some dry spells across much of indo china, except for southern portions. we're keeping the risk of some thunderstorms for our hotel in city called them poor singapore, and some dry spells across much of sumatra. the philippines looks like this. for manila, we're also going to keep their heads skipped thunderstorms in the forecast for you with a high of 30 degrees. the news in mamma, allegations of torture emerging under the military track, down one on one east investigates the secret detention and make on the defective to reveal line one out of the i

l g 0 as a use all ah the hello again, this is i'll just say, are the main news this out there. radians of votes are going to presidential election. that's why it expects to be won by a hard line. judge judiciary chief abraham racy cast. his pilots in southern tech. ron and polls show that he hasn't among voters as low war violence and human rights violations drove a further 3000000 people from their homes last year. according to the u. s. d report which says the cumulative total of displace people reached almost $82.00 and

a half. many of it's written to mind straight and come back to 9 area report, the kidnapped 80 students and read on the school. in the question of state of kevin police for the 5 teachers, also abducted and the officer was killed. it's the 3rd mass kidnapping. in 3 weeks . eros sanctions on iran are as old as the islamic republic itself. washington has imposed round after round of them since $979.00 across many sectors. iran received sanctions relief from the u. s. the e u. of the us in 2016 under the j. c. p. o, a or nuclear deal, and exchange for temporary limits on its atomic program. the trump administration reimpose all us sanctions and added new ones under a maximum pressure campaign. when he withdrew from that agreement, most trump era sanctions are expected to be lifted on the banking and energy sectors, automotive industry and ports to name, but

a few. but hundreds of other non nuclear sanctions. unlikely to remain, let's speak to reza colorado, who's the see or the think tank to play house. he joins us now live from tehran. good to have you with us. where does the front runner in this election ever, him, racy, stand on the nuclear deal. what are the chances of the sanctions being lifted with him as president? your future happy talk one he's not going to be a one ment hungry to be changed by mr. ac or mr. matthew or any other faces running for the election. the point is that the 1st form, no one is administration, is trying to solve the issue and be, are some fruits in vienna before his term finishes and to he wants to leave a legacy that says and as talk says, taxi didn't actually lifting the sanctions at the end of my term. but anyway,

even if he can not do that, if he's not just fine, but he's got the government to be to be decide by him. i mean, if it was the scar into the base, he will follow the general policy that the government, the country has made. and it is major mainly decided in the supreme council for national security, which is actually for and by several people to own branches. the power and that's policy, which is the main policy of the on the time that the nuclear thing says that iran demands only sanction belief that before you on accept did you would be back to the area and accept immunizations that he was supposed to accept within the j c p a because he's very concerned that if any sanctions remain in place either

that those sanctions that were imposed rain post already late doing wrong or even do that. we're not buying into mama, wendy was signed, and that would be a ground for the american ministration to impose further sanctions on you on, on their new ne, those and on there the perfect stuff. the other ones like presenting support for terrorism human rights and the other claims that you can make. and in that way, he long will not be able to use the j. c, p a, which was actually the main reason for you don't, as mentioned in the documents, it was to jewish the economy to lead to the sanction or the, you know, be able to economically benefit from there. so here is the point. so if it is not the decision by mr. ac, any of the candidates will follow the same issue. ok, the current president rodney is a reform of a moderate, as, as we said earlier,

abraham racy is, is billed as a hand liner. he's the chief of the judiciary. how will the lives of, of iranian versus change with him as president? you know, it's not about the political affiliation. what are the major takes about the president honeys administration? was that he was not doing anything. the inaction was the problem. with their general agenda because the only agenda that he had was taught negotiations and gave you a reach. we know what happens to that in terms of production, agriculture industry and such thing. he's administration did not do anything. so anyone who can do something that would be better than the current situation. that's actually the mindset here among many people, including the politicians, the issue, all the candidates and the people. so it seems that the foreign policy, especially the nuclear talks, would not be a major case for

a major agent agenda for the government. it would be, as i said, something in the, in the supreme council national security and the government would focus on some issues. people on the economy, which includes, as i said, industrial agriculture adoption and increasing the job of creating jobs for people and at the things that would be the major agenda for. that's a really good talk to you again for many thanks for being with us. thank you. very much israel is launched as strikes on gaza for the 2nd time in 2 days. it says the targeting of sites was in response to balloons being sent into southern israel to stop fires. it's the latest escalation and fighting, putting pressure on a cease fire between israel to mass that came into effect almost a month ago. the un says there isn't enough money to cover this year. she went to terry and response plan in haiti that's despite

political instability and the pandemic leaving many more people in need of help. the countries also still recovering from a cholera outbreak nearly 10 years ago. kristen salumi reports in haiti, an impoverished country with densely packed communities, and poor sanitation disease can spread quickly. a surgeon corona virus cases is pushing the 2 main hospitals and the capital of porn prince to capacity. but international aid to haiti has been hard for the united nations to raise since 2010, when un peacekeepers there introduced cholera to the country. there's been 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 claim $10000.00 lives was unclear at 1st, but was ultimately trace to be inadequate handling of sewage at a net believes 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. n. 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 with them hybrid, legally on dismissed. 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 austin says the un may have immunity in court,

but it does have a responsibility to compensate victims under its own charter. this is not a question of a moral duty. it's the legal duty. we screwed. these people liberal 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 on quarter. we're going to go to school. you know, what about us? that's why eric dodge of mr. 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 saw him briefly in that report. he can see the full interview with a fully un secretary general bank. he moon, from oh, for 30 hours,

gmc tomorrow, saturday. here on al jazeera, uganda is in the grip of its was covered 19 outbreak since the pandemic began. hospitals are running out of beds, medical oxygen, industrial manufacturer has been told to make oxygen cylinders, if they can. anyone over the age of 18 is now eligible to be vaccinated in the u. k . where infections are on the rise. officials estimate the delta vary and 1st identified in india is responsible for 90 percent of the cases. for the 1st time since 1983, the u. s. has introduced a national holiday june 18th, known as it's known, commemorates the end of slavery. allan fisher reports from washington. 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 day union trips fried the last slaves

in texas. 2 years after president lincoln's emancipation proclamation, a day that has become known as june 13th. this is a day of profound and my profound weight and profound power. day which remember the moral stain. the terrible toll as slavery took on the country and continues to take. it's the 1st national holiday approve since the 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 reforms to the justice system. in recent months, many states are 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. black 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 will say, yes, i 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 capitol hill about justice reform, senators, a coming under pressure to do more to protect voting rights across the country. all say many biting supporters. much more important than approving a federal holiday. alan fisher. i'll just leave it up at the white house,

cyclists rolling out a campaign, depression, mexico city to better protect the deaths and accident saw up in the capital, which has been encouraging people to give up the cause. manuel, rob, hello reports. this is a bicycle protests in mexico city, demonstrations like these over alarming death toll among cyclists are becoming exceedingly commie. the activists say so far this year, at least 22 people have been killed while riding in the city. a white bike frame represents another victim from a traffic accident. this one is for a 13 year old boy named rodriguez killed in a hit and run in april. the boy's mother paola says she has since become an activist to seek justice for other victims of traffic crimes or for me who today was my son to morrow. how many will they be? this cannot continue, the government must do its job. the public safety advocates say

a culture of corruption and impunity means crimes on the road too often go unpunished. last year there were 278 feet tallies linked to road accident in mexico city alone, according to government statistics. but activists say the real number is above 300 . yes, the non glove us element s. this is not only about cyclists. this is about pedestrians and children who had dying on the street. this is a problem of attitudes and a lack of public policy that you go to sally's makes reading through the streets of north america's biggest city. look easy, but to be a bi courier. here. you've got to have your wits about you. and you have to have a sick sense that people can get very aggressive on the road that says the city lacks inappropriate strategy. that incentivizes road safety, mexico cities, government has invested heavily and making the roadways here for bike friendly,

but as number of cyclists as increase. so has the frequency of accident. lucy is faced with mounting public pressure. city officials recently harsh and penalties against traffic violations. vanessa was the most unreason. transit law has been reformed. the changes assessor was the target, the 2 sets of behaviors that are mostly drunk drivers, and those who repeatedly submit the infraction. activists and government critics see that even with the appropriate public policy in place, safer streets, can only be achieved if everyone abides by the rules of the road. manuel rap alone al jazeera mexico city. ah, all are going to check all the top stories here on. i was just radians of voting in a presidential election. that's why he expects to be won by a hotline judge. judiciary chief, the for him racy cast. his pilots in southern terran opinion polls show that

enthusiasm among voters is low.
