here i am power in pasha. we tell your story. we are your voice, your new, your net out here. ah, ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm mariam demising watching the news, our life from london coming up in the next 60 minutes. iran presidential election, voters are hoping a new leader will improve the country struggling economy. palestinians council vaccine deal with israel because the doses expired earlier than had been agreed. we

look at the countries missing from a un blacklist despite gray violations against children in conflict designs. also, armenians are a people in morning, off the last year is devastating defeat. so as a by john, hundreds of prisoners of war are still to come home and this weekend says snap elections brought on by the crisis. i'm returning not more later in the program. and in sport, england and scotland fire blank at the european championship a night of frustration at wembley as the game finishes in the mill mill draw. ah hello. welcome to the new zone of course on top. sorry, the final poll starting to close in iran of the an extension for late come is to vote in a presidential election that's expected to put the country on. a more conservative forcing the hotline head of the judiciary abraham. right. you see is widely tip to

win. but many iranians, a weary and frustrated with the countries economic problems and voter apathy is likely to weigh on time out in the election. activists called for a boy call it off to a range of candidates, were excluded from the vote. i said, bay reports now from ron. it's a tale of 2 elections, a part of society that feels disappointed and let down appears to have stayed away from the poles. my name resign other than that because i didn't vote because of physics useless. the previous government came and made a lot of promises, and i know this government will do the same on right through. i didn't vote because the candidates i wanted to vote for was ultimate, didn't jot, but he was disqualified. that's why i didn't. and then did those consider more faithful, the backbone of support? the political establishment relies on my son at that i've been voting for 40 years

. look at my id document, there's no more facebook selection step today. i voted for mr. rice. i want him to help me, you know, one assisted awesome. i heard they helped me use an older miserable people from the day we became eligible voters. that 18 we have attended the elections. this is proof. we have voted in all elections. no room left for stems. so i voted for mr. racy moore, and i'm, and they have been called for an election boycott. but the main functions urged people to come out and the highest authority in the country, the supreme leader lead the cold by casting the 1st vote. it's not clear it's worked. some don't see a candidate. they can vote for others, don't believe in the system that seen many candidates disqualified, many feel the economy has been mismanaged prisons. hassan or hong is administration, blames us sanctions imposed after dunner trump pull the u. s. out of the 2015 nuclear deal. unemployment and inflation, or at all time highs. the currency has severely devalued. here in the south of

there, ron, everyone we spoke to who voted said they chosen election. frontrunner just re chief ibrahim, right. you see that he's faced 2 of the conservatives and one murderous candidate, but several of those were excluded. he's also being the head of the judiciary since 2019 is close to the supreme needa and has support from hard liners. i joined us now from the capital tower on and tell us i had what are you hearing in terms of where the polling stations have closed in some places obviously voting was extended but where, where does it stand now? so an hour ago. so we were in there on the police station close at midnight, but this one in north there on the thing you saw this hasn't extended for another 2 hours. so until 2 am we have half an hour left. now what we understand is that the people got the door by the way, we understand that there's been

a final pushed by some needs to reform mister murder to get people to do a protest vote in support of him at the but it's still not clear cut what the vote to turn out will be real in the capital. the captain has about 8000000 people, half the country, they're over 59000000 eligible voters. so they're on isn't essentially iran and north, they're on their own. there's many different differences here. so it's still very difficult to tell, but there is a seems like a final push, at least here in north there on this pulling station to get people out to vote. and we have been speaking to people asking them why they came or turned up late. why they're voting now and who they're voting for, and a lot of people, even here, it sticks between right? you see him with it. what are the people talk can sons lose speaking earlier about frustration with the guardian council? it's a very powerful body than the iranian political system that discounted

a whole range of reformist and moderate candidates. why are people upset about not what, what effect does not have on this vote for people to affect because they didn't the, some of the people that they wanted to standing, the selection being out of comments before me. some moderate candidates that would disqualify by the guardian cancel that vetting buddies. many people saw that as an attempt to make it easier for the french. now, judicial judiciary, chief abraham, right. to make it easier for him to stand. there was a real prominent opposition against him, so it makes it easier for him to become president. in fact, the reform is candidate from the 2009 election meet the st. louis who has previously voted intellectual, even under a 100. he came back and said he would be cutting the election. so there's 2 boy cut it. i said that this was an engineer as action. so that's one of the reasons people

have been upset. but one of the major concern that we've come across when we've been speaking to people across iran is the economy. people are just not happy at the state of the economy. yes, it's been hit by sanctions, but many people believe the 1st that hasn't honey and he's government have mismanaged the economy and many ring is just a better standard of living. thanks very much. i said bag in town. well, as mentioned abraham rice, he is considered the front run it, but it's not his 1st bed for power hotline had the wrong suggestion, re stood for the presidency in 2017 but lost out the hot sun. ronnie, he'd be the 1st president already sanctioned by the united states as a lead role in the execution of thousands of political prisoners 30 years ago. while it's officially not taking sides, the cleric has the backing of the powerful revolutionary guard and the support of the supreme leader he seen as i hung an ice protege. so victory in this election could possibly strengthen his position as a possible successor to the supreme leader at home. and i treated policy joined us

now from washington. so treat her we been speaking about abraham, right. you see the position in this election, he's seen as, as the, the front runner. do we have to apply some caution to assuming his victory as a foregone conclusion? could, could that be a surprise? there certainly could be a surprise and there have always been surprises in the wrong elections. just to see the shift in support for ro, harney in 2013 in the last 24 hours of that election day was, was quite stunning. and as your reporter reported, if there is a higher turn out, because people who are coming out and giving a protest vote turn out that can lead to a situation in which racine doesn't win in the 1st round. then in the 2nd round, particularly if how much he is the 2nd candidate. this whole situation can change dramatically because if the elements in this society that has an apathetic and who

has stayed largely at home, if they realize that they actually have a chance of unseating air, you see preventing him from being able to get the presidency show their power in opposition to the engineering of the election that has taken place. then i think there's a likely that they would come out in much larger numbers and they have today, but it still requires to come out to sufficient numbers today to drive this to a 2nd round. right. so this is an important point, isn't it? that if we don't see a candidate commanding the majority of votes in the 1st round, that will be a run off bow to 2nd round in the selection. and that creates more uncertainty. absolutely, i just want to make one point in regards to sanctions. it is quite fascinating to see that the hardliners, who have been in control of iran stay tv, has gone out of their way to blame the economic laws of the country that are tremendous on the honey government rather than on sanctions. even though it is

absolutely clear that had not been for the trump administration withdrawing from the steel, had it not been imposing the sanction economic situation would be dramatically different. yvonne was growing roughly 5 to 6 percent a year prior to trump withdrawing from the neutral deal. and we imposing sanctions after wished running economy started contracting. we're not just talking about, it's slowing down. it started contracting the only big difference. there was the sanctions which later on of course were amplified by colbert. but the hardliners have worked very hard and apparently been quite successful to tend to blame or ro honie rather than on the dramatic impact that sanctions are on the economy. right. and why, why do you suppose they've taken that approach? blaming the president has center on the as opposed to the pressure from western policy. it's quite interesting because otherwise it would be very quick to blame the western policy. so almost everything it is precisely because for

a very long time now they have been preparing the ground, knowing quite well that this election may not just be an election for who the next president is. but as you reported, it may very well end up also being the election that will a paved the way for the next supreme leader. now to resolve it's critical, you want to make sure that the conservatives are in control of the judiciary of the parliament, which now is and now we're also having the presidency. they've set the stage to make sure that the next supreme dieter is also conservative. okay, we'll continue to keep an eye on the situation on what's happening in iran, where some polling stations starting to close. we'll chat a bit later, but for now thank you very much, teresa parssi joining your staff. if you so much you all with the news, our life from london much more still ahead on the program from the u. k to russia, their fears, the corona virus, the delta, very could dramatic. can you set back a european recovery? i've been father confrontations that the likes and last compound off to friday present, occupied east jerusalem. and in sport croatia school that 1st goal euros. but the

walcott finalist could still be heading out of the tournament. ah, policy and health ministry of counseling, a vaccine exchange deal with israel. israel had agreed to provide a 1000000 doses of 5 jobs in return for an equal amount when palestine own shipments arrived. later this year, the palestinian authority said the israeli vaccines had an expiration date soon as that had been agreed, so it's been canceled. policy and health minister my i la kyla said that the decision followed health inspectors finding the vaccines didn't meet the standards by the uncommon documents. after the medical technical teams received the 1st patch to vaccines to saving. they found that they did not match the technical specifications that we had agreed earlier. we contacted the prime minister and the

decision was made to deal with canceled. and we will remain committed to buying enough vaccines for our people and depression 5 to provide the vaccines as early as possible. earlier i spoke to dr. med hat, a boss, director of garz's. i'll ship a hospital about the situation that this expired shipment. but some nation was not going to help anybody, whether the west bank or in the gas just because it's like you're both 1000000 44100000 but seems to be finished with a will be expect at the end of this month. so can i, can i, what do you guys need in terms of vaccination doses? can you give me an idea of your, your needs and the people that have been vaccinated already and how much more you need in terms of supplies? we are 2000000 population. i mean, i mean if you, if you calculate those, the elderly people and the,

those who are having chronic diseases and the medical professional, what we have functioning already today is only 50000. and this is all the total number out of 2 millions. but it's to be vaccinated and these are used to prevent things but seems to be an inside. busy and they are linking that to political black mailing. as usual, when you, when you say 50000 has been vaccinated out of out of 2000000. this was so there is a mechanism that exists for transferring vaccination doses potentially from the west bank into garza. which bank i told you that shipment above that was a disaster. that was not the shipment. this buys shipment, which is about to be expired. if it's not something that i can use as a doctor to, to give to my patients while it's going to be expired in few days, that we have no time. if you haven't been seen,

which will be expired within few days, you cannot, you cannot use it for 1000000. i'm just saying, is there a mechanism? what mechanism is that? i know that there is a, obviously there's a blockade in place and nothing is applied for completion of what it is any way that the mission and most of the time it will never come. this is mckenna or government across europe, a scaling bank plants, the eas restrictions of the delta varying to the corona, virus spreads. it said to be behind a sharp rise in cases in russia, germany and the u. k. jonah hall has more the delta vary in 1st discovered in india is making itself at home in europe. in britain, it's responsible for new infection numbers soaring past 11000 in a single day, and doubling every 11 days. hospital admissions arising though deaths remain low. that's because the success of the vaccine rollout means the elderly and vulnerable of protected, leaving mainly young adults to get it and they tend to be less susceptible to

serious illness. in countries where vac seen wrote out his less advanced the risk is greater, the russian capital of moscow has seen daily infections rise by 30 percent this week, prompting an extension of restrictions and the rebuke of public behavior from the kremlin. that doesn't mean you can even total nihilism in the low vaccination level . well, behind the search, we must also not forget the counting of the infection itself, converts to only 18th of the country's population has been vaccinated with russia's own sputnik vaccine. and it's now become mandatory for those in public facing work like retail education, health care, and public transport to get the job elsewhere in the e u, where vaccination programs have escalated after a slow start, restrictions are being eased and holiday travel is back home in the hope of a post covert summer european football championship matches drawing big crowds,

but the delta variant may have other ideas with the leaders of france and germany warning against complacency. not to the fact that we need to remain vigilant. as far as the spread of mutations or variance is concerned. we can see this in great britain cameras. i can only say we can't behave as if the corona virus pandemic is over, where people travel. so will the virus, the variant is present in more than 80 countries in the world? health organization says it could soon be the dominant global strain. many are looking at the case experience as an object lesson in the perils of over confidence . we've not done, i think 80 percent of adults in this country have had a 1st job. and we're now asking 18 year olds to come forward. so i, when making huge, huge progress. the country that has trumpeted vaccine success loudest in europe is for the moment moving fastest in the wrong direction. jonah whole al jazeera was

just weeks ago until the ellen pet games a group of top japanese medical x, but say all spectators should be banned. overseas fans of already been blocks from attending, but organize is hoping for a limited number of local spectators. one of the leading health advisors says having no funds is the least risky option. a final decision will be made next week . now at least 11 palestinians have been injured in a confrontation with israeli forces and occupied east jerusalem. it happened after friday prize at the lux, most compound israeli forces with dispersing protest as he gathered in opposition to the nationalist flag march that was held earlier this week. they, they were demonstrating against chance of death to arabs and insults towards a profit and 100 made by is raised at the much. and then in bater in the occupied west bank, at least $47.00 palestinians have been injured during protest against an illegal settlement. outpost is ready,

soldiers fired tear gas and rubber coated bullets to discuss demonstrators after friday press this week marks 54 years since the illegal occupation of easter wisdom . daphne deca has more protests had been called for authority of damascus gate and protests to the races. i didn't cite full charge by v is really right with national on the flag march on tuesday. the project didn't reach damascus gate, but a couple of 100 did protest. soon after friday prayers into the alex, a compound there was a stand off with is really forces a couple of polishing and injured and arrested. it was then dispersed. we also had the usual friday protests in beta and the occupied west bank, people there of the village, protesting against the expansion and the, the setup, let's say of the legal is really outpost of every tar. this is an outpost that has really been expanded over the last month or so set up early last month. how the

thing is protesting against it. it's also very close to land that they use all of growth that the residents of the village only can now no longer access it because it's been declared of military zone. interestingly enough, this government is really government. there is an eviction order against the outpost or parts of it, at least is certainly today media report saying that it's expanding foster than the actual government can keep up with it. so a lot of watchers here are saying that it's going to be one of the main tests early tests of this new government prime minister nationally. bennett, of course supports the settler movement. some reports indicate that he's going to be given a child to try and convince the settlers there to lead willingly. i think that is going to be difficult and then perhaps it is going to have to come down to defense minister began to deal with it by force. algebra has seen an advance copy of a new un reports on children, an armed conflict. it's meant to name and shame countries and groups, the commit, gray violations against children, syria's government, me,

and mars military and yemen who the rebels are among those names. while israel is criticized, it does avoid a blacklist on diplomatic. this is james bayes explains, this is always very controversial when this is published every year. it's a report on children living in conflict zones and then in an annex the report, a list of those countries and groups that are responsible for maiming and killing children. now in the report, the certainly criticism of israel it talks about more than a 1000 grey violations against children in east jerusalem, the west bank and gaza. and the report says, i quote un remains deeply concerned by the number of children killed and maimed and continues to israel to investigate each case where live ammunition was used. that's in the body of the report. you turned to the annex, which is supposed to be the blacklist you supposed to provide this every year to the security council. and israel is not listed on the blacklist look to yemen. and

that the who the rebels all the statesboro kidding or making more than 250 children . and the saudi led coalition is responsible according to the report for killing or maiming a $194.00 children. but you will find that the who sees are in the annex on the blacklist bought the saudi led coalition on not on the amex, the formal list, we believe has now been circulated to the security council. it's still private. it will be published in the coming days and the security council will discuss it in about 10 days time. nigeria is on the rescue. 2 teachers in 5 students from kidnappers. they were part of a group of ducted on thursday from a school in the northwestern state of can be more than 80 students were taken, and one female student has been found dead. this is the 3rd mass kidnapping in 3 weeks. in nigeria, gangs of men described as bandits, often stage abduction seeking ransom payments for dallas amber is in
