let's speak to how made a raise. and body was a feel of the thing time the blow house, and he's joining us 5 from here. i'm very good to have you with us. let's talk about the turn out 1st, which is expected to be low for this presidential election lower than previous election in 2013. it was a strong middle class, and this strong support from the middle class that got hi, sandra honey elected. why is it not as enthusiastic about the vote this time around? it's a pleasure to be on your program. you know, there are several cases actually leading to the current situation. first of all, the bad, the current situation that we are facing and it is mainly charged as the nice thing that's a mismanagement of the peasant on government. and many of his supporters are actually disappointed with the ballot box because they see me says that he had made

has not me for the field. and if he didn't actually bring about the flooring that he had promised during his campaigns and even the j. c. p a, i mean the nuclear deal, that means what he's the main agenda has not succeeded so far. there are some hooks up of course that they've, you know, talks and it can be or somebody don't. but people are dissatisfied with that. and the sanction going to stealing place. and as you just mentioned, the media class has actually free and we have a lot of people under the power to long the have many difficulties in the, in terms of the economy. and because of that, many people are dissatisfied with him and we divided by the other case is that on the other side, i mean the reform is cam and there are not enough faces to run for the big nancy stuff when they did not introduce any considerable pace and

of course on the bill, laurie johnny read the by the guardian council. as you mentioned, not one prominent reform this candidate or practice has been approved to run in this election. how do you expect the outcome to affect iran stance on the international space stage? not just when it comes to the nuclear deal and relations with the united states. but also when it comes to relations with countries like israel and other countries like the saudi government. you know, there are some basic principles in iran, foreign policy, which is not going to change and within one government to the other one. there is a continue to in those areas. for example, the relationship with israel and the relationship phase or about the nuclear talks or the region on policy, or if you want about the region. so if he's not going to change and at least

significantly from one go or mental i did with the order, and we currently have in the economy. i expect that the next government would mainly focus on domestic issues, not foreign policy. we have some main cases like the nuclear talk and the region. as you mentioned this, how would you rate or the southern neighbors that you want to have that you are willing to stick to decrease attention with them and to have some detention or something that would be the situation in the region and to have some of the t, and he's in the region better than the current situation that we are facing right now. but mainly the government, and we focus on the domestic issues at the top of the corner on the job creation, industrial things, and the foreign policy would be mailing them and via the weed, by the supreme council for national security. and that is something higher than the

why the balance of power and like the executive me. so it seems that the foreign policy would be based on the same and basic principles. and then in your own case, in important cases in the supreme council, and the rest would be some norm on situation, foreign policy increasing the radiation with other countries. of course, war came to implement the agreement that davy recently signed with china. and between 5 years agreement and then to implement that to move toward the some some contracts and something that would be are some foods for that. thank you very much for talking to us about this. how may i res, i go to lunch day. thank you for talking to us from taylor on north korean. neither came, john only has told his government to prepare for both dine or gain confrontation with the united states. the ruling party met days after the us again to give up its

nuclear program and return to talks. rob mcbride has more from sol, with these statements, and north korean leader kim junglin 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 dialogue. so 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 junglin 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 work as party and 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 jung 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 so many people have fled ethiopia in recent months in the region of t gray in the north thousands have been killed during a military operation. to capture fugitive local leaders, ethnic conflicts have also led to the deaths of hundreds in other areas. the nation goes to the hold next week and the backdrop of this violence. i'll just here is monitor. i do reports on the key in this money region of the field. florida robin has just been brought to the emergency unit of the city zonal hospital in vicky tom . he was shot in the stomach by militiaman, from the neighboring out for region hodson from the somalia and offer tribes have been fighting for the past 3 years following a dispute overland for hundreds of heavily armed far, gunman attacked our village. they were brought in vehicles and was shooting every one inside. they took over our village. i saw at least 10 dead and about 20 others

injured before i was injured. most of those injured clashes with our for malicious end up in this hospital. the trauma ward is full of patients wounded in the near david clashes of the border. medical worker of the big hospital say they are overwhelmed by the big number of patients arriving with gunshot wounds. they say they have been forced to move both table enough to move to the court of the hospital to create more space for the critically injured. some of these young men have been discharged from the hospital, but with the alarm, the family in the grip of their opponents have chosen to stay that i have no home to go back to our homes were burned by the raiders in our cattle and camels have been taken away, i really don't feel i am in the oak in any more. but if the government believes i have any rights in this country, it should stop the conflict. this would help us return to our land. clashes between the r for and somali tribesmen will fall to get bad position by the federal government to handle the cities, somali inhabited districts to oper,

regional state. since then, the conflict has only intensified offer rights activists. also blame somali clumps will depend on under magic way of life for rating out for own grazing lands, while aided by somebody to special forces, accusations, somali officials frequently deny ethnic based violence. and if he updates not just limited to the alpha and somali regions in the british jungle, gomez, region conflict between tribes have left hundreds that interests and months in the automotive university of be a 100. so when om civilians have been, must have gotten thousands displaced of the or more politicians allegedly coordinated attacks on tribes in the area with an armed wing over able group in the region in the foothills where the highlands of if you appeal mit the vast plains of the somali region, the scale of the suffering caused by a few peasant cutting ethnic violence, is laid bare. here, 98000 ethnic,

somebody displaced by contacting me at region have set up come to the residence of the lord. you come are mainly made up of farmers and businessman, somebody who put bad tax 3 years ago, others have joined the come order simply on the offices. i had everything i needed before the conflict. i had to me business and coffee from what i've lost everything and now i have nothing to give my 12 children and i officials of the mileage and undisturbed and say, well they've done everything they could to improve conditions of the comp. more assistance is needed and by the baggage that we have established schools for the idp and helped wherever we could. but our resources are limited. we appeal to donors to reset these people so they can go but on a pendant lives. for now, if you pick continues to face a growing crisis of ethnic nationalism that some fear could take africa 2nd, most popular country apart. many hope the elections next week will bring them some

respite. until then, you see a pick continues to be at a cross votes mohammed out the wall, just either vicki in the somali region of from ivory coast president, the home bag bull has toll support. he's happy to be home. he's returned after being acquainted of crimes against humanity. the charges dates back to 2010 when bank boy refused to concede defeat in an election more than 3000 people were killed in the violence that followed. the. i'm happy of being back and i voted 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, all of africa supported me as well as my people. the european union is expected to discuss albania, membership next week, but it could be many years before the country formerly joins the blank. young albanians have been abandoning their homeland for better economic opportunities in the e u for years. as john strapless report from the capital t,

ron at that exodus is affecting one of europe's forest economies. it took the most of us 30 years and $2000000.00 to create his business in florence cereals and window lines. ever since the fall of communism in the 1900 ninety's, he's waited for albania to join the european union of the, even though we have the opportunity to go to greece, we believed this country would move forward. and the time would come when it would be a part of europe. we hope the effect of view of upon albania will be to wipe out corruption, set some rules, and protect people who invest the. but bus has such faith in this vision he's handing over his life's work to his 2 daughters repair, treating one of them from britain. and he's helping to keep other young workers here. but it's the thing that is going against current trends. over the past decade, almost half a 1000000 albanians have emigrated for work education and health care. that's 14

percent of the population. and what are 3 decades ago emigrants were manual labors . now they include educated professionals who could be strengthening the middle class and helping to build a new economy. you're not a 100 is a final year medical student who could have gone abroad to study and regret staying . now she plans to leave. i want to work toward myself and becoming to, to grow into something bigger. you know, i cannot do that and that's the worst thing that old be over. i'm not obojobi, i such a beautiful country, but people in obeying i do the stop you from becoming a better person. like more professional the i don't find myself motivated anymore and i feel like i'm moving holton, that's the worst thing that you can do to somebody. prime minister rama has recently taken steps for albania to qualify for you membership,

such as rooting out corrupt judges, civil servants, and business people. but many obedience still consider the country, one of the most corrupt in europe. you can just comp blame the young kid having emissions wanting to change the world. what we are doing all this years is to just not lose more time to move faster. the reforms almost faster with the, with the modernization to make the country work in terms of systems that herana. skyline is full of high rise buildings suggesting prosperity, but albania is 12 percent. unemployment, $300.00, minimum wage and high immigration suggest a model of growth that leaves many people untouched. while that plus many here likely to seek a future in the u rather than stay in l. bayer. jobs are awful,

us algebra toronto. for the 1st time since 1983, the us has introduced a national holiday june team, as it's known commemorates the end of slavery. alan fisher has more 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 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 13th. this is the day profound in my 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 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 reforms to the justice system. in recent months, many states have passed 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 we said, yeah, we 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 bite and supporters, much more important than approving a federal holiday. allen fisher, i'll just say that at the white house i can offer for his son a thank you very much for the well near mosse called for brazil as the host nation . continue the perfect thought to the caught by america. they thrashed through for nail to make it to and from to it was all that keep them at top of groupie. emma now has $68.00 goals for brazil, he's close and then on. pearl is and national team records, we says a $77.00 according to official records or so it makes me sad

to be sincere. my dream was always to play for the brazilian team with this show. i never imagined i would reach these numbers. it's very emotional for many reasons. it's a difficult time across the world, not just. yeah. and it's a great joy in the history that has been made here. i want my family and friends to be proud. so i hope that the world is proud of me because these numbers are nothing . what is really important for me is the brazil team, the brazil shirt. columbia is matter events where the fiery affair was there were no goals that produce 7 yellow cards. and the red, wonderful, louis, yes, late on, despite the nil nil draw the result. columbia. second in groupie, louis the ah, the governing body of european football usaa is threatening to strip england of the

year 2020 final according to reports in the british media. the final is set to happen at london's iconic wembley stadium with the reduced capacity. however, due to the u. k, a border restriction, the july 11th showpiece, could be moved unless the government provides quarantine exemptions for around 2005 and a vi piece. including f officials and sponsors with a pass which has been allowing full capacity games is importantly in the running to stage. the final, if wembley is dropped on us now from london is international football. janice gavin hamilton given how much over wrestling is, is that you could strip wembley of the final i think it's a possibility that you, i was hoping that the stadium capacity, the state of a tendency would be increased when base the tool that went on. and the hope is that the semi finals and the finals will be 50 percent capacity with more people than in

the group stages. so that was always the hope. but i think that was dependent on the virus and the spread of the pandemic thing under control. in june and july, and of course there's been a change in the circumstances in the utah with the restriction still in place for a month. so that sort of change you. i was thinking they won't guarantees from the the, the english government but government that so the b i piece and the visiting heads of the football associations can, can attend games. i'm going to have to call and seen. so this is, this is putting the english f i in the end, the british government on the spot and hoping to just full issue. and it's a possibility because when i was considered by the sharpie and i would get don't think that the the, the final was moved to portugal. i'm budapest is already showing the gauge being stick with 100 percent capacity school stadium. and they put affected stephan.

how difficult is it to move such a big match from one city to another? well, i think it's been a very, it's a difficult thing to do, but it's not impossible. your move gains around throughout the season, going to leak and it's been moved past is in place as a host city. the problem that you had is that when played a very good place for the commercial, etc, which is the hospitality seats and all that sort of stuff where you a lot of money, you will have to say hits, right? doroty has taken a partial hits on the privacy benefits would not be able to host as much of that sort of thing. but it's possible because in the not kept sites in place that's already in the group stage, you definitely can place in the stages. people move around around the room and that's always been the case. so it's a, it's a risk living the final, but it's not impossible. and it's not the question. kevin,

if the u. k. government decides to make an exception and exempt these 2500 v i. p. 's form a quarantine. this could prompt a back like your public backlash. i mean, it puts the government in a very difficult position, doesn't that it does, but i think this is, this was the possibility england team may be involved in the competition of that study. that is the hugs and things and say we're in the final stage and possibly the foreign will. then it would be very difficult for the government to go against go get you and you need to define. they moved to put a couple sway, but public opinion. i was told that goes on and the reason that i'm starting to become a fancy public again, international football. jonas gavin hamilton. thank you very much for that. onto matters on the field. belgium have reached enough stages that they fought from

a gold down to beat spirit to denmark team who are playing for the 1st time since that christian acts and had a cardiac arrest davis stokes tributes in the stands and on the pitch for christie and ericsson. just 5 days earlier, in the same copenhagen stadium, denmark star player was resuscitated on the pitch after suffering a cardiac arrest in their opening game against finland. while he continued his recovery in hospital, his teammates were back looking for the 1st when in the tournament up against the world's best team, belgium and the danes made a fantastic start. going ahead after just 2 minutes through use it paulson sending the home crowd while then there was a touching moment when the ball was kicked out in the 10 minutes fronting a minute to pull. erickson's denmark's number 10. the translation of that is

all it is with you christian. they went in ahead of time, but it was all about belgium after the break, especially kevin sabrina, making his 1st appearance in the tournament after coming back from injury. the 1st he set up talking has thought, who levelled up the game at 11, and then he got one of his own to put belgium ahead. although the celebrations were understandably muted. denmark didn't go down without a fight, though. not in truck white with inches away from an equalizer later on. they finished with 900 shots to belgium spied, but it was belgium who want it and secured that place. in the knockout stage, denmark still without a point, but all is not lost with 4 to 6 3rd place teams going through. they still got a chance. they do need to be russia in the funnel great game though. david stokes al jazeera of netherlands have book their spot in the round of 16, they beat austria to make it to and from to memphis. the pie with a 1st goal,

from the power to the 4th. and then he was involved in the build up to the 2nd, to move eventually finish by then. so them 3 to now the final school ukraine, also one in group c. and the 2nd point. and here's a great opportunity to make it to the dental don't. please don't set him free to gimme walkie bucks have force of the sizes, game 7 and eastern conference, finals against brooklyn, after collapse in the previous games that put them on the brink of elimination. the bus came back to life, the dominate game, sick with middleton sod was 38 point jani center, added 13 with a few women, 80428293. 0, and that is what we will have more for you later on. but for now, it's back to 40 sun. i thank you very much for that. that's it for this news are on
