taken from their homes and executed under pressure venezuela's defense minister by the me to re, you know, said the armed forces were obliged to the friends that come through from irregular groups that added the human rights needed to be respected. and that the events at the border would be investigated the. ready news this is al jazeera ah hello money side. this is the news our life coming up in the next 60 minutes. radians vote for a new president to succeed house on honey, but questions over the future loom, as the countries struggled with an ailing economy on a nuclear deal and doubt will have a report from a remote jungle come in the animal where people are hiding from fighting between

the military and group the current of ours, the very 1st identified in india is blamed as several countries. the infections rise sharply and dozens of palestinians injured as is ready for demonstrators and occupied east jerusalem on the west bank and in sports with the new top of their group at the european championship. one know when over school and back here maintains their unbeaten run at the tournament. i and i welcome. it's just gone 1500 gmc, that's 1930 in iran where voting is being extended in the presidential election opinion polls are predicting victory for the judiciary chief emperor him. right? you see it faces 3 other conservatives am one, moderate candidate, 10 out is expected to be low on position parties. cool for

a boy caught off to several candidates, were excluded. shortly. we'll speak to correspond acid bag. who's in tech? we're on the 1st door said jabar reports on the voting so far. a test of support for iran political system. the 1st person to vote, the highest authority supreme leader i had solar alley harmony. shortly after, almost 67000 pulling 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 selections where the results were very much unknown . and the people that just called 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. i brought him rate is going to be like the 60 year old conservative candidate. abraham bracy is

the head of her own judiciary. he has been under you sanction since 2011 and you a 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, you know, i'm voting for a fee to improve the conditions in our country. our problems are many, but mainly that our youth don't have jobs and inflation is very high. i think he can do something for us. his only main rival has been this man up to no sir mattie, the only motor left in the race. the former head of iran central bank has been using his background in finance to try and convince voters he is the right man for the job. on my demo, 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 we can fix it.

have come too far so we can retain our democracy. him at the unemployment rate is an all time high in 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, 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 here who hope they can rally electric. that compared to what has on monday was elected a years ago than a president may prove not so popular when he takes office in august. sources safari out to 0. let's go now live to bag who has been to run the asset. observe is have been predicting a low turn out in the selection. what is your sense of how voting is going where

you are? way in the size of the ron? this was a posing station is at a shrine, has been relatively busy now that the temperature of come down. but we've been here for a few hours and it wasn't that busy. but every one of spoken to here says that they're voting for brian race. and of course, this is the south of, on this area is generally more conservative and generally more likely to vote for you. but we have been hearing reports and we did drive past the number of posing stations that were quiet. of course, the wrong, isn't iran, this is a country that has w6xw eligible voters, and the story may be different in cities, but polls have been predicting a lower turn than normal. now the lowest turn, the country of the presidential election was in 1000. sorry, $9993.00, which was just over 50 percent. and the highest ever had was in 2009 was 85 percent good minute didn't. dad was elected. but as i said, turner is expected to be low,

and many people believe that it will be that the country's next president. and what are the main issues for the people who voted that you've been able to speak to in particular, the younger generation? yes, we spent a number of days, weeks speaking to people not only in there on both sides of their own. and there's one issue that everybody mentioned and that's the economy. now, the last 4 years hasn't been great way around. it has been great for president husband ronnie, and he said ministration, they've been by many mismanaging the economy. now the government has blamed sanctions, but many people just don't think that's the acceptable. they think that the government could have done a better job. and when i speak to people, people want jobs, they say that inflation is too high. they complain of day to day goods. been increasing in price, sometimes doubling in price. so the main concern for people, hair and everywhere else i have spoken to them is always the economy. and that's going to be the biggest challenge for the next president. can he turn around the

economy? and can he raise the level of standard of living for iranians across the country? many, thanks for that asset bag that 1st in tech, ron. well, let's take a closer look at the candidates. as we mention, abraham, right? you see is projected to when he has been the head of the judiciary since 2019. he's close to the supreme leader and has support from hotline as morrison. resume is the former chief of the revolutionary god and a critic of the 2015 nuclear deal. he's run and last 4 times already. another conservative is amir hudson, not these are the di shimmy. he is the deputy parliamentary speaker. and then there's the only moderate candidates left in the race of bill nasa mattie, he's the former governor of iran central bank. he supports the nuclear deal and has called the greatest social reforms in the country as get a little more analysis. joining us here in doha is met, ron come robber, professor government at georgia university cutoff. many thanks for speaking to us

and al jazeera, now the supreme leader itala hominy himself, has encouraged people to come out vote kaylee. it's important to him in the establishment. $810.00 up is found to be very low. is that significant? while the legitimacy of this law maker, public is a state and the higher the turn out, the higher the legitimacy of the republic estimates are that most 47 percent of the electorate is likely to vote. and so this, if that is indeed the case, that would be the lowest, turn out ever. what do you think people, why do you think people are not as enthusiastic this time around? well, part of the fact is the fact that the candidates really are not cherish magic . none of the candidates capture the popular imagination. gracie came out the

distant 2nd in the last presidential elections. now he's the front runner, but neither racy nor any of the other ones. have really presented a comprehensive program for improving the economy. none of them are carried magic, none of them are noted as good speakers. and as a result, the population by and large is disenchanted with the political establishment, but also unexcited by this crop of candidates by you see, has branded himself as a rival to corruption inefficiency, restock. where see, is that just campaign speak, or is there a chance that he could turn things around for the people? well, his tenure as the head of the judiciary, i have seen some high profile corruption cases, cases of court cases against corruption. so he might very well deliver on the

promise, but the problem of corruption in iran is systematic. and i doubt if campaign slogans or even actions by the president are going to fix things overnight. if what you see is selected, the country would be conservative across the board in terms of the parliament and the judiciary and the presidency. could we see a move then towards a more slum, make government? and what would that look like? well, if racy is elected and it is by no means certain incidentally, that he might, the elections all contain an element of surprise. but if he is elected, the assumption is that there would be a contraction of the political space. and some of the social liberties that we've experienced over the last 8 years. under the ro, honey administration,

are likely to be curtailed. i'm not sure if there will be a, necessarily a more islam, it political system, but certainly one in which there is a much more conservative feel in the air and there's a more conservative rhythm to life in the wrong. okay, many thanks for your analysis. met her on camera of a progressive government at georgetown university here in katha. thank you. plenty more ahead on the news. our, including our because president law and by bo returns off to bring a courses of crimes against humanity. and the japanese government taught medical advisors, fans a warning about games with 5 weeks to go and install belgium. remind everyone why that the top right team in ah

to 0 has seen an advanced copy of a new un report. not yet made public on children and on conflicts. the annual report is meant as a blacklist to name and shame policies that commit gray violations against children . the key actors have been left on the list as cross now, who are diplomatic as a james base who's been london, who's had a chance to look at this report. what more can you tell us? well, this is always deeply controversial when this annual report comes out every year. what is produced is a report with details of all the violations against children in conflict zones around the world. and then separately an annex which the security council want, which is a blacklist where they name and shame those countries and groups that are carried out violations. we've seen an advance copy of the report,

the security council. we believe. i've also seen that yvonne's copy and they'll discuss this in about 10 days time. but it's interesting because the report itself, for example, on israel list of 1000 grey violations against children in east jerusalem. busy in the west bank and in garza and i quote from the report, the un remains deeply concerned by the number of children killed in maine. and urge is israel to continue to investigate each case where live ammunition was used. so 20 criticism of israel in the report turn to the amex that blacklist. and israel is not listed move to yemen, and you have a situation where the report talks about violations they're killing and maiming. 250 children is as being apportioned to the who sees while the saudi led coalition were responsible, according to the un un, for killing and maiming a 100 killing old, maybe 194 children. the who sees are listed on the blacklist the saudi led

coalition and not in the past. many countries of worked hard behind the scenes putting pressure on the un. so they do not get listed on this list. and in the past, human rights groups have said, yes, it's supposed to be a black list, but each year it just becomes a whitewash. when he thinks about james by the magic editor, now, one country with a significant displacement of people is me on more sci fi between the military and arms groups last barely 3 days before collapsing. more than a 100000 people have fled into jungles with few supplies. tony cheng reports from the ty, me and my border. a single mind, a bird perches on a 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 are 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 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 man ma 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 township that has seen the fiercest fighting. but here is elsewhere. covet protocols, prevail, 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 am, our soldiers came near a village. we were very skewed. we can't stay in the village anymore. or 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 decomposed 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 then 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 the future. tony cheng l to 0 on the time me on my border in the corona virus variance called delta, which was 1st identified in india,

is becoming an increasing concern for governance along with other variance. it's being blame for infections in moscow tripling in just 2 weeks. more than 9000 were recorded in the past 24 hours. the highest daily tallies since the pandemic began. the head of germany's disease control agency expects delta to be his country's dominant strain within months because it's so much more infectious. and burson also estimates that delta is behind 90 percent of its rising infections that are mostly among young and on vaccinated people. it's now offering the job to everyone in england, aged 18 and over. let's focus on russia. konstantin severino is a professor at rutgers university in new brunswick and ad scold cole though. institute of science and technology in russia. many thanks for joining us. he's also a consultant for 7 biotech companies and several russian government agencies. he joins us live from moscow. how concern to you about the coven situation in russia?

people here shall be concerns, and that's mostly because they, over a little explanation, is really low the country, but as soon as the patient of c. so for over 10 percent of the nation, which is why is that? because russia was one of the 1st countries i believe, to announce the development off a coven vaccine. but as you say, uptake has been incredibly low. why always appears that the demand from the population is low, this monthly because marketing for promotion are working properly. so i'm like most of the country ever since. i've seen some of. ready those in january, but here have been no limitation. you want to over into the public job you for once it's your own transportation. i'm

sorry, since rob said the government is now announced these plans to enforce vaccinations amongst some people working in set and sexes. if that's a good strategy, will people now go and get vaccinated? well, i wish for we're because that was the 2nd place in march. the situation since normally now on sundays, doing this for a given the fact that they seem to be coming up real quickly. the exclamation measured for me, it was not until 2 weeks from now and leaving them off. now we're talking, we're talking about the delta variance. how seems to be dominating cases in a number of countries, including the u. k, germany and russia. how worry to you about this particular strain, the whitening action that experienced last week or so using these mostly due to

cell phone, which is more than why the frequency of getting sick is increasing weather than could be seen, which is published. the only fictitious assertion would be to prevent severe offer on viral infection for every reason. okay, thank you for your thoughts. konstantin, a savannah off professor at rutgers university in new brunswick. thank you. thank you. now gunman in nigeria have reportedly kidnapped at least 80 students in a raid on a school. in the northwestern state of cabbie police say 5 teachers were also abducted and an officer killed. it is the 3rd mass kidnapping, in 3 weeks. gangs of men described as bandits, often stage, abductions, seeking,

ransom payments. fidelis and bar has more from a boucher, with the waiting for official confirmation of the number of students who were picking both. what we do know from witnesses is that at least 80 of them were abducted by the panic. right now, did the police say in what was the use of the the gunman and the actually fetching forests around the town to be able to find out if maybe the students are being held there before. now, pharma leaves 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 it 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 kidnapped to didn't know the door actually come out to say maybe the name of the group that has

kidnapped them. what they 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 they are going to reach out demanding for ransom. victims of post election violence in ivory coast se the return of long back bo is an opportunity to revive a court case against him. the former president arrived in abbey john on thursday to 10 years abroad. he was acquitted of crimes against humanity dating back to 2010. when he refused to concede defeat in an election more than 3000 people were killed in the fighting that followed. the, i'm happy with 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. i met address has more from abidjan,

with the business to fix the job. and most of the show stuff that goes yesterday for a while. but again, this is activity has not picked up as it used to be because there are still people who are costeo's. of course it's always they want to closely just the things progress. i know the streets of our be relative calm. there is no reaction except of course, records from both sides. yesterday we heard so many supporters of president, michael sort of making sense. you know what the members of the ruling party said that acceptable opposing friction and on their side, the victims of the course, gillex and bothers, are also making remarks capable of staring things up. so that is currently in harvey jones. and of course neighboring communities that we weren't able to reach
