with israel saying the cobra, $900.00 jobs are too close to expiring and weaving technology and textile the group of women. a remote part of argentina are keeping a tradition alive during the time that ah, the un general assembly has called on member states to hold the flow of weapons into me. and mine is the 1st global action taken against the agenda since it sees power and began a violent crack down that's killed, more than $800.00 people from the united nations christian flu reports. it was the 1st time the general assembly made its position known on me and mar since the country's qu, 4 and a half months ago. secretary general antonio good terrorist pressed member states for a strong message. we cannot live in a world where military calls become a norm. it is totally unacceptable. the regional right of the cry. he's real.

we must continue to call for maximum restraint and condemn all forms of violence. the risk of a large scale civil war, 3 in the text was adopted with 10900 votes in favor, one against and 36 abstentions, including some countries from the region you a she answered her external blind pressure or imposition of sanctions on me. and maurice not only in effective but quite on the contrary, it might aggravate the issue. the resolution calls for the release of state counselor, uncensored she and other political prisoners, an end to violence against peaceful demonstrators and humanitarian access. notably, it also calls from member states to stop weapons from getting into the country. but only the security council has the power to impose and arms embargo. and so far, vito wheeling powers,

china and russia have opposed targeted sanctions. the general assembly resolution was sponsored by some 60 countries, including canada, get the country on a path to democracy. that's a very, very clear message of the hunter, and it's a message that says, stop the atrocities. let's. let's deal with the need for democracy as, as soon as we can, and the delay has gone on for several months. let's move forward. me and mars ambassador to the un, an outspoken critic of the military says the resolution doesn't go far enough. we are so disappointed that it took almost 3 men to adopt this. what a donald is illusion, even though it does not include many important point to save life. the people emma, the general assembly where every country has a vote and no country has veto power, has now weighed in, but will me and mars military listen. they've resisted similar calls from neighboring countries in the regional are the on group before. but now with this

world body behind them, the calls are getting louder. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations blundering nelson is from the old bridge stonebridge group. he says, many countries who abstain, they're trying to preserve ties with agenda. this resolution underscores the limitations of the u. n. in terms of its ability to really strongly intervene and it certainly falls short of the expectations of some of the protesters in them are who have been calling from day one about the responsibility to protect this resolution. while it does condemn the who, while it does call on the countries of the world to start preventing a form of armed into the country, it's not a step toward the formal arms embargo. and it's very clear that a strong security council action would be vetoed by china,

and probably also by roger many who want to preserve their relationships in the region with off the on. they simply don't see the point of getting behind resolutions that are ultimately going to be symbolic when, when likely, when the rubber hits the road in the current situation, china is going to block strong action. the hunter will still habits channels to russia. he will still have its relationships in the region. the iran as voted in the presidential election expected to hand pilot to hard line judge him by you see activists had called for a boycott after several candidates were excluded leaving only 4 contenders in the race. many iranians are weary and frustrated with the state of the economy, and that seems to have effected fridays turn out of a big report from tara. it's

a tail of 2 elections, a part of society that feels disappointed and that down appears to have stayed away from the poles. my name was i another them, but i didn't. i didn't tote because it's useless. the previous government came and made a lot of promises, and i know this government will do the same on right. i didn't vote because the candidate i wanted to vote for was up 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 space for selection stamps today. i voted for mr. racy. i want him to help the, you know, one assisted us. i hope they help the youth and all the 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 standing. i voted for mr. racy more than one. they have been called

for an election boycott, but the main factions 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. president hassan wrongs 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 on everyone we spoke to who voted said they chosen election. frontrunner just re chief ibrahim, right. you see that he faced 2 of the conservatives and one murderous candidate, but several of those were excluded vain. he's also being the head of the judiciary since 2019 is close to the supreme needa and has support from hotline. as many may

criticize the outcome of this problem. but the question now is, what was the vote to to not be what percentage of the vote would get. he may win the election but not necessarily widespread popular support. i said vague. i just there are there on well gary, say more from the crown center for middle east studies. he doubts the election. will have an impact on talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deals. i think the dominant view in the by did ministration is that it doesn't really matter who the president is. because all of the key decisions on foreign policy and national security policy, including the player missile program, really resides with surprise meter. how many? so from the bite and ministration standpoint, they would expect in the go see ations to revise the nuclear deal chasing p o a to continue after the election. and it's possible that of agreement might be reached during the lame duck period. president rodney does not actually office until early

august, but even if no agreement is reached. i think the by the ministrations expectation is supreme that or how many, what sanctions relief primarily to try to address the severe economic damage that it has suffered. and certainly the incoming president, racy, would benefit tremendously if he can take credit for sanctions being lifted up for some value in terms of addressing economic damage. so from the binding ministration standpoint, i don't think they expect the presidential elections to fundamentally change the direction of the last 4 policy. the us military presence in the middle east is shrinking further equipment, as well as hundreds. the troops are being pulled out. the pentagon confirmed reports, the anti missile batteries are being removed from iran, q 8, jordan and saudi arabia. it comes 2 years after the military presence in the region

grew and made escalating tensions with iran. cable is under has more now from washington, dc. well, the pentagon is not telling us exactly how many troops and exactly, exactly precisely where they're being withdrawn from an exactly when. nevertheless, we can certainly ascertain from the information that they did release that, that they are saying that it definitely is air defense assets, primarily that are being moved out of the middle east region. they said that they would be perhaps moved to some redeployed to other areas that they would not disclose or brought back to the u. s. for maintenance. what we think this is, is the bad air defense system. and also the patriot missile system that the u. s. has deployed in recent years to several countries in the middle east, in terms of how many troops were thinking that it's in the hundreds, not the thousands. and these would be troops that are, that you know how to operate these air defense systems. so you ask yourself,

is this a big troop draw down or not? and answer that question. gotta know on how many troops in total there are in the middle east, a us troops, and it's about $45.00 to $55000.00. so if you're looking at several 100, perhaps, that gives you an idea of the total number of troops bottom line know is this comes at a very important time because biden, president biden has said that he wanted to recalibrate the number of us troops and assets in the middle east region, and this is all part of that. recalibration is the focus is more on russia and china. but it also, and this is important, this comes ahead of expected talks with iran on re entering into the nuclear agreement, the j. c, p o, a but chief editor and chief executive of a pro democracy newspaper in hong kong of appeared in court. ryan lauren chung kim hung or accused of colluding with a foreign country. they were arrested at the apple of daily offices on thursday,

instead received 90000 jobs that will expire this month. more than half of israelis have been fully vaccinated compared to $1.00 and $3.00 pallets to the ends of only had one dose. but the comet left off after the medical technical teams received the 1st patch to vaccine 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 all people and depression 5 to provide the vaccines as early as possible. new abraham, not more now from bethlehem and the occupied west back according to the health and in health minister of what you're than a press conference with the spokesperson of the palestinian government. they say that the shipment they received today, which is between 90 to 100000 jobs on either did not come or went up to the palestinian sanders according to the deal that was struck by pfizer. the pulse, an official said that the agreement was that these doses should expire in july and

august. and that's because they can give that to the people. but they found out for them through the policy and official that these jobs expire in june, which is why they held a press conference and said that they are rejecting the whole they are sending back those batches. and now we'll wait for the exact sees that they've already ordered from pfizer to arrive for them to them. they should be here in september or october . and they many have been telling us that they believe that israel was trying to score p. r points, after lots of criticism came to israel because it is the occupying power or the to international law. many human rights organization said that this is israel, you to vaccinate palestinians, but they didn't do that than they believed that they were trying to give those shipments to the palestinians because they were already going to throw that, throw them away and try to score points. remember, we also have

a new government in israel, and this is what, why many palestinians we need that there's rooms acting in bad faith. now, when it comes to the vaccination drive in the past and it's, it's going relatively no, it's not even more than 13 percent of the population that have received the jobs. so this deal is also that the me of this team is also expected to further load down the vaccination rate and maybe take a few months where the palestinians to get to the heard them unity because they're saying that they need to get 70 percent to have some sorts of her immunity and be able to open up businesses and straggler life, victims of post election violence. and i recall say the return of long bank beau is an opportunity to revive a court case against him. the former president arrived in the abilene on thursday, up a 10 years abroad. it was acquitted of crimes against humanity dating back to 2010 . when he refused to concede defeat in an election more than 3000 people were

projects that are typical of friction and on their side, the victims of the course collection bodies are also making remarks capable of doing things up. so that's currently in our b jones and of course neighboring communities that we weren't able to reach out to early elections have been called in armenia. but whoever wins will have to heal a nation's guard by last he is defeat and a conflict with as a by john the 2 sides force over the disputed region of going to a car back where we challenge reports from year of us. the fighting may have almost completely stopped, but for armin and armina, the war is not over the 19 year old son hamlet isn't home yet. and this there sure is him being captured by azerbaijani troops last october. since then, they've heard nothing by john denies holding him in consulting they said,

during these months we've seen too much pain. we've lost our faith in the government in the elections. i won't participate, i will not vote. we're far from politics and all we want is our children, to my fax last week, as a by john return 15 armenian military prisoners. in exchange back, you received a map showing landlines in an area they won back in last years fighting. although the numbers are disputed, as it by john still hold 60 to perhaps 200 armenians, it calls terrorists prisoners of war. just one of the damaging consequences of armenians military defeat. losing war psychologically puts a society in a deep advantage of situation. but society feels more stressed when imminent humanitarian problems are not being result for for the society.

officially, maybe 4000 dom meanings were killed or disappeared when as a by john took back territory last to our menia. during the 1st war, however, disputed new going to kara back, which ended in 1994 on this hillside overlooking year of and you really get a sense of armenia is loss. this is the main military symmetry that each of these soldiers fell in last year's war. many of them barely after that teens. so armenia is morning, it's sons, it's brothers, it's father's. but it's also morning, a sense of itself as a country on the new borderlines russian troops keep an uneasy truce. and armenians have been displaced from their homes like has by johnny's were nearly 3 decades ago . didn't i miss my house every day? i come here to gather time. i look at my house and i cry. you blood, graham, the crisis has triggered early elections. do this weekend. candidates are blaming

each other for the defeat. but this analyst says the real problems, years of military over confidence and squandered internationally mediated peace negotiations of being ignored. the absence of a diplomatic strategy. the failure of military lessons learned. none of these are being addressed by any candidate, neither from the opposition nor the government. no one has been able to articulate either what they would have done differently or what they will do differently if elected armenia will soon have a new parliament. but how and if it can bring this country out of its trauma, is far from clear. rory helen's al jazeera yerevan. now thousands of rallied in argentina calling for help from the government as the economy, reales from the impact of the pandemic. the protest joined unions and activist groups in the capital one has iras, they one financial relief pay rises and a stronger welfare states. cobra,
