formed the superstition of alchemy into the science of chemistry. many of his chemical procedures are those which may still be use today. oh wow. science in a golden age with the professor, jim. and i'll just 0. ah, me. with a flattering economy and like last the campaign, yvonne sprays eventually election, get the lukewarm voter turnout. ah, you're wanting ology 0 live from to with nice, really bad people also coming up another rise in the number of global refugees and displaced people. even though the pandemic shot borders and restrictive movement, i'm tony chang on the time in my border. fighting has forced more than

a 100000 people into the jungle. but essential supplies are running in. and the current i'm very interested identified in india is blame, does several countries feed factions, rise shopping he ranging the voting. any presidential election that's widely expected to be won by hard line, former judge, you bring racy victory would put hawks in control at a time when the present government is trying to save the nuclear deal and recover from the pandemic shot. he will speak to us at bay who is outside of pulling station entail on 1st door such a barrier report on the voting so far a test of support for iran political system. the 1st person to vote, the highest authority supreme leader itala allie harmony. shortly after, almost 67000 poll stations opened across the country with nearly 60000000 people

eligible to vote. but it is clear this time around the presidential elections are different compared to previous actions where the results were very much unknown. and the people you like. me to jordan, even on the all 3 of the more under dog during those actions in the corrective action, i think many people as well as many hannah was already predicted. abraham rate is going to win via the 60 year old conservative candidate. abraham bracy is the head of her own. should the sherry he has been under the sanction since 2011 and us sanction since 2019 for legit human rights violations. here none of these things seem to matter to these voters. the only issue for them is the economy was a good job. i'm voting for a fee to improve the conditions in our country. our problems are many,

but mainly that are you don't have jobs and inflation is very high. i think he can do something for us. 2 his only main rival has been this man up to no sir mattie the only mater left in the race. the former head of her on central bank has been using his background in finance to try and convince voters he is the right man for the job. i've had them, i've come to defend the very last piece of democracy that remains on voting for him . i think the most important issue right now is our economy. i hope you can fix it . i've come to ford so we can retain our democracy. by the way. the unemployment rate is an all time high, and iran and inflation at more than 40 percent in vienna, members of president has found ronnie's team are in talks with the united states and other members of the un security council to get us back into the nuclear deal known as the joint comprehensive plan of action or j. c, p o,

a. and they're hoping a positive outcome, but deliver the results that people want to turn out as a major issue for official fear, hope they can rally electric. that compared to when has on monday was elected 8 years ago. the next president may prove not so popular when he takes office in august. sources safari out 0 tech and live not to be goes outside of pulling station into iran. so i sat, observe, is predicting iran's 8th president will be elected with a low turnout if as expected, that's racy. what will it mean for legitimacy? that all depends on how many people finally end up and got to come out and vote or what percentage of that vote they brian gets. and of course, they will be questions over this election simply because of some of the disqualifications that took place before the selection actually to take many prominent reform and moderate candidates were disqualified by the victim. buddy and

reform is come, haven't really backed a candidate. that's because most of the candidates have been disqualified. the only one that standing at the moderate did nothing him up. he was a former governor of the central bank and it's not that was known around the country. in fact, the presidential candidate reform is presidential candidate from 2009. he's come out and said he was boycott. the election is encourage other people to boycott. and he said that this election has been engineered now back in 1993. the lowest vote to turn this country ever had for a presidential election was 50.5 percent. now the picket establishment here is concerned that it could be low at this time, right? but they will say, do you have highs and lows in elections? they've had highs of 85 percent back in 2009 when some advantage as was elected. of course, the french is abraham, right. you see, and many people expect him to, in what's contributed to the public disillusionment. what are the main issues for the people who voted that you have been able to speak to but there's

been a number of issues the last 4 years. haven't been exactly great for president husband honey and his administration, the senior and miss managing the economy and of course did ministration because he has blamed sanctions. but many people think that's not the only cause. like we've got the highest unemployment, we've got the old time, highest inflation rates. so people are really struggling. and whenever we've been on the streets or speaking to people that polling stations, everybody mentioned the same issue is the economy, the economy and head. most people that we've spoken to are voting for brain, right? you see, and when we ask them why, well they faith, but no one else has been able to help us. we hope he can come into power and do something about standard of living. thank you for that. i saw a big live there for holding station in tehran. another news war of violence and human rights violations drove another 3000000 people from their homes last year. even as the pandemic shut borders and restricted movement, the un phase, the total number of displays, people has reason for 9 straight years and reach almost 82 and

a half 1000000. about half of them are children. more than 2 thirds of all refugees come from just 5 countries that area venezuela. i've got to stand south sudan and me and mar where conflicts are ongoing. turkey host, the largest number of refugees, about 3700000, mostly from syria. columbia is next taking in 1700000 people from neighboring venezuela, mozambique, te grainy fuel, pierre, and africa as broad as i have region are among the leading sources of new refugee movements due to conflicts and the impact of climate change. the u. n. phase governments, particularly wealthy ones, need to do more. why are these people moving? they're moving because of economic 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. early i spoke to matthew salt marsh, was a spokesman for the un refugee agency. he says government should focus more on the root causes of mass migrations. one of the main messages to europe and to all developing countries is really to show solidarity. this is a global problem. it requires addressing global root causes. but also when refugees do move, asylum seekers move, they need to be solidarity. you can't put all the pressure on a handful of gateway come countries because simply the pressure is too much. so what we ask european and other countries to do is to show solidarity and to share the burden of hosting refugees. europe is looking at some new legislation and rules on refugees and asylum seekers in migrants. and we hope that they'll be able to

find an accord on that. and part of that would have to be showing solidarity and showing some form of relocation of refugees and asylum seekers around europe. while also of course, focusing on the causes that in causing people to move, which are of course conflict, poverty, and increasingly climate as well. one of the big challenges of course, is getting aid and support to those people who need it the most in, in those remote areas. and that has been very difficult, particularly the job and not just the new job. we have similar problems in countries like syria getting supplies across the border. another country with significant displacement is myanmar. i see 5 between the military and armed groups lasted barely 3 days before collapsing. more than a 100000 people have fled into jungle with few supplies. the un security council is meeting later to hear from the special envoy on man mar, tony cheng,

re for some time the mob border a single mind, a bird perches on the temple roof and thailand and o men for those that believe it brings bad luck. but just down the road, no time for superstition, people packing up supplies to send across the board to mamma. they have to operate without the tire authorities knowing and with no guarantees. the aid will get through contin. it's very difficult to get access to the displaced people. some of the aid workers were arrested and some of the donation items were destroyed and burned by the me and my army. the supplies are loaded onto a truck, blankets, medicine, top poland, and food. this consignment will be driven across the borders. elsewhere. it must be carried by hand. on the other side of the board and the correct army is in control . it was one of the ethnic groups that signed up to a cease fire and man mar until the military coup. in february, the aid is unloaded from the truck and taken to a makeshift jungle camp. hits the monsoon season and conditions

a tough. nonetheless, a steady flow of new arrivals. these people had tracked through the jungle for 3 days from the most of my township that has seen the fiercest fighting. but here is elsewhere. covet protocols prevailed. temperatures taken masks warn. they must remain isolated for 14 days. despite the conditions, however, every one is grateful to be away from the fighting. it was in there for them that we were sleeping in our house when the me and my soldiers came near a village. we were very skewed. we can't stay in the village anymore or make the artillery hit our village late at night we were very scared and hurried to get up and ran to the jungle to hide from the shell. fighting and kaya state has been fierce men, most army has unleashed the full might of its military machine, helicopter gunship, jets and heavy artillery firing the civilian neighborhoods. its troops have left

a trail of destruction in the towns and bodies littering the streets. many decompose beyond recognition in the tropical heat. some believe this is a deliberate policy to force the carini from their homeland and everything the region has, has a very specific purpose or purposes that is to, to drive people away from their homes. and to make it possible for them to return, some people daring to go back, but with so many homes burnt or destroy, there's a real concern. the arm is intention, is to push people back into the jungle for long periods of time, or even worse, to push them over the border here into thailand. but thailand has shown little interest in taking in tens of thousands of refugees as it did in the ninety's, the memos john to enforce a similar policy on the carini. that means that these children could remain in the makeshift camps for months or even years forced from their homes by military to the

may also have robbed them their future. tony chang al jazeera, on the time, me on my board, i'm going to head on august. the cycling for safety protest is in mexico city demand justice as a number of tales, story and albania struggled to keep it. young educators fitted in from leaving the country. ah hello, an intense monsoon rate out of the gate. we've been talking about it. so for this i want to take you to west bank gall, where we have just been inundated with rain and our rainfalls from the monsoons have been amplified by a disturbance parked over to pradesh. it's just incredible scenes that we're seeing there. and this part of what bank all we saw more than 400 millimeters of rain

if maybe the students are being held there. but for now, families and relations of the students have got at the school waiting for, for the information from the school authorities and also from the state government . where do you see that took place? no group has come out to claim responsibility for these attack. that's not, that's actually not common because most times when these groups kid not to, didn't know the door actually come out to say maybe the name of the group that has kidnapped them. what do you do is to reach out to parents or reach out to the government or the school authorities to make demand for ransom? and in the coming i was will be waiting to find out if the are going to reach out demanding for ransom. victims of post election violence in ivory, coal se, the return of law backbone is an opportunity to revive a court case against them. the former president arrived to not be john thursday, after 10 years abroad. he was acquainted of crimes against humanity dating back to

percent of its rising infections that are mostly among young and vaccinated. people is not offering the job to everyone in england, aged 18 and over dr. broad franconia is especially silly infectious disease control and his senior lecture at the university of etc medical school. he says the vaccine boosters will be introduced later in the year to provide cover against dominant various the case fatality rate, which is really important item to also look at is no different from the alpha very . and so that's the good news. the other piece of also positive news is that the vaccines protect against alpha, beta gamma and the delta variance. so that's very, very important. also know that the vaccines, irrespective of the variant, are effective in preventing serious illness and that so with respect to boost vaccines, this is something that we will have to consider later on in the year. the bigger

emergency right now is to immunize as many people as possible as fast as possible. and in the u. k, we are immunizing people, 18 and above. we should really be immunizing 12 and above, and as soon as the vaccine supplies become available, we will do so with respect to giving boost as it is something we will consider and due late in the autumn this year to cover to provide cover against any other dominant variance that may be that in safety, elation, and may be bypassing the vaccines. the japanese government top medical adviser says the safest way to hold the tokyo olympics would be with no fans present at all. his recommendation put him at odds with organizes and the national limbic committee, who wanted a limited number of local spectators to attend fans from rhonda her band several months ago. and a final decision on the policy is due to be made. next week. the games are

beginning next month, despite mounting opposition across japan. israel is giving more than a 1000000 cone of isaac seems to palestinians the 5 jobs that will expire soon are being transferred to the palestinian authority in return. these really say the palestinian authority will give back an equal amount 20 to own shipment survive later this year. at least 47 palestinians have been injured in a confrontation with israeli forces south of the occupied westbank city of nobilis soldiers. fire tear gas in rubber coated bullets to disperse. demonstrate is after friday praise this week mark 50 years since illegal occupation of east jerusalem. and similar protesting occupied easterwood them left at least 11 pallets in the and ventured after fighting with israeli forces. 14 others were arrested. is there any forces where dispersing protestors who had gathered in opposition to the nationalist flag march held on tuesday. they were demonstrating against insults

towards the prophet mohammed, which were heard during the flag march. stephanie deka is occupied east jerusalem whitmore. there had been cause for palestinians to gather here, damascus gate following friday prayers in protest to the inciteful in races. chance things like death to other arab burned their villages carried out by those foreign ultra nationalists during the flag march on choose it. it didn't happen here, but there was a gathering following friday prayers inside the lock. so most compound, there was a stand off with is really forces a couple of palestinians, arrested and injured in general though the day has passed somewhat without incident, but it does indicate that there is still low level tension on the ground. it also does follow on thursday, more than century balloons, having flowed from gaza, causing around a fire in the gulf envelope area. israel responded over night with air strikes on empty areas, empty training cabs. but there was a strong response and we do understand that israel has sent a message to how massive warning to stop this. of course,

negotiations are underway, brokered by egypt to try and achieve a long term. the fire that is complicated, but we know pressure is being put by egypt on how to not have reacted to that flag march. part of the concern we haven't seen a major escalation on the ground that some people were worried about, but certainly still low level tension. the european union is expected to discuss albania, membership next week, but it could be many years before the country for many joins the blog. young albanians have been abandoning their homeland for better economic opportunities in the e u for years. and as john serrato this report on the capital t rana, the brain drain is affecting one of europe's forest economies. it took the most of us 30 years and $2000000.00 to create his business in flor materials and window lines. ever since the fall of communism in the 1900 ninety's, he's waited for albania to join the european union. that 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 phone. but us 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 faith 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 towards myself and becoming

to grow into something bigger. you know, i cannot do that. and that's the worst thing that old be over now. i'm not over such a beautiful country, but people in being out to the top you from becoming a better person. like more professional the me i don't find myself motivated anymore. and i feel like i'm moving holton does, 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 albanians still consider their 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 you rather than stay in albany or jobs or call us elsewhere or to rather police in hong kong, have charged 2 executives of the pro democracy newspaper. the apple daily with collusion with a foreign country. they were rounded up by police on thursday along with 3 other colleagues. authorities have also frozen millions of dollars in company assets to

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 accidents in mexico city alone, according to government statistics. but activists say the real number is above 300 . yes, the non glove us element us. 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 good sally's makes reading through the streets of north america's big city. look easy, but to be a bi courier here. you've got to have your wits about you being caught and you have to have a 6 sense to 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 more bike friendly, but as the number of cyclists as increased. so has the frequency of accident who

faced with mounting public pressure, city officials recently harsh and penalties against traffic violations. vanessa was the most unreason transit law has been in the form of the changes and such, but they target the 2 sets of behaviors that are mostly drunk driver and those who repeatedly summit, 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, hello again. i'm fully valuable with the headlines on al jazeera, iranian revolting in a presidential election. that's widely expected to be won by judiciary chief brain bracy. his victory would put hawks in control at a time when the president.
