make america to try to bring people together, trying to deal with people who left behind the hotline of abraham racing while ahead. as expected an initial results announced officer iran, the presidential election. meanwhile, they runs foreign minister, suggesting an agreement to revive the nuclear deal could be reached before the current administration leaves office. i think there is a good possibility that we can reach an agreement baby for me. that was a,

i'm a very and again this is i'll just hear a live from also coming up. this is the built on brutality and bloodshed. will you not? so the un general assembly condemns me on laws, but every crew and cause for weapons sales to end in a food, but fell short of those welding support and such a go. pandemic sport about a payment revolution that italy's government has wanted for years as well as widely expected hotline of abraham racy as well ahead of the votes counted to iran's presidential election. the 3 other candidates had already congratulated the tradition re, chief. the official final announcement is due to come within hours activists of court for an election boycott. after several contenders were excluded leaving only 4 in the race. none of them considered to be serious rivals of racey those the time was low at less than 50 percent here. the result so far as i am by the interior

ministry. whatever jamaica hand was she given that vote counting is still continuing. these are the initial results. mister ibrahim, you see, has more than 17000000 800000 votes. mr. as i eat more than 3000000, 300000 votes. mr. him at a more than 2000000, 400000 votes, and mr. gus, his other hush, jimmy. more than 1000000 votes. they lived out of tariff ounces here, as tells us your barriers said that so daughter at a parent landslide victory for ac, but on a very low turn out certainly, and this was what we expected. it's not, it doesn't come as a huge shock here. the conservative candidate who is the head of the countries judiciary is very well known within the establishment. he has managed to rally the core support within their population. that is

a conservative boats. he of course ran in 2017 and was unsuccessful. but this time around due to the lack of confidence, the general public has and the apathy that we heard over and over again across the electorate. he has managed to secure a win landslide victory, and he will become iran, a president. of course, the voter turnout was around 48 percent, which is an all time low in iran since the revolution of 1979. the last time we saw any kind of number close to that for presidential election was in 1993. but nonetheless, the president, the court president, has sandrani, has made his way to abraham braces office within the judiciary in town to congratulate him in person. and we also heard from the other candidate to have all congratulated racy on the when this is of course, it will require some work on this incoming president to convince the general public that he is the right man for the job. but he's up to it because of course, the major concern for very iranians is

a state of the country's economy. and of course, the outgoing government has blamed that on the sanctions that have been put on iran over the past 4 years as a result of the united states leaving the nuclear nuclear deal. while in the last few hours we've heard from iran is foreign minister talking about the nuclear deal, suggesting those talks in vienna progressing well. yes. the 6th, through, around of the nuclear negotiations are taking place at the moment in vienna, with the deputy for mr. i bus r t as part of the rating delegation, they continue their talks, and according to him, they are hammering out the details of the logistics of how the u. s. will return to that and how iran will return to for compliance, of course be radians, reduce their commitment step by step over the past years since 2019 after the u. s . left the deal in 2018. but the foreign minister was very optimistic that before

he leaves office, which is in about 5 weeks times, the radians will secure a deal. let's listen to what he had to say. there is a good possibility that we reach an agreement before the end of our tenure as as how soon so we are supposed to leave office by mid august and i think there is a good possibility that we can reach an agreement way before mid august. the talks are going on right now as we speak. i just read the latest text editor that is being discussed in vienna. the text is getting cleaner and cleaner. the brackets are being removed. the negotiations will of course, continue regardless of when the new government takes office. that is the understanding from the president elect abraham racy. he had said while he was campaigning, that he believes the nuclear deal to be

a binding agreements and that he will honor that. the understanding here is that regardless of whether or not he is in favor of it, there really isn't much alternative for the new government in order to try and remedy the economic situation. lifting the sanctions and come to some kind of an agreement for this j. c. p, o, a to remain intact, is the only option really that is feasible at the moment for you to try and revive the country's economy, which has seen the reale plummet, 80 percent, lose 80 percent of its value over the past 4 years. and of course inflation is that over 40 percent. so unless we see some kind of tangible results within these talks and return to the nuclear deal on all sides. there's very little hope of what abraham but you see can do to salvage the country's economy. but nevertheless, there is optimism on all sides that the nuclear talks are ongoing and they will continue. course there has been opposition to that within the country, but now with the president elect safely in position to take over in

august, there is an understanding that he would have support from the establishment to continue these negotiation. i was just curious door such a barrier reporting life from town door so many things the un general assembly as called on member states to hold the flow of weapons and to be on the non binding. the vote is another significant sign of global opposition to the jones that seized power and began to crack down the kilt more than $800.00 people from the united nations crystal salumi 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 press, the 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 wine. and the reason of a large scale civil war is read. the text was adopted with 119 vote 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 councilor unanswered she and other political prisoners, an end to violence against peaceful demonstrators and humanitarian access. notably, it also calls for member states to stop weapons from getting into the country. but only the security council has the power to impose in arms embargo and so far, vito wielding 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 honda 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 men, the 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 ozzy on group before, but now with this world body behind them,

the calls are getting louder. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nation. the ears talk diplomat has prorated lebanese politicians for failing to form a new capital even warning the plot could impose sanctions on those responsible for the stalemate. just to borrow that president michelle owned to discuss lebanon's worsening economic crisis. leaders of fail to form a functioning government since august. the crisis, lebanon is facing. it said domestic races is a self impose crisis. is not the prices coming from abroad or from external fact? this is a whole made crisis decoration don't buy yourselves and the consequences with the population are very much. dia, the chief editor and chief executive of a pro democracy newspaper in hong kong have been denied bail for appearing in court . ryan law and john came home, are accused of colluding with

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, as 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 will get a weather update next year and i was a syrup then no deal. after all, the palestinian authority rejects a 1000000 coated 19 vaccines from israel. and just a month before the olympics, mixed messages from japan on whether any spectators will be allowed to attend the ah hello, they're welcome to look at the international forecast. some places i've got some dry weather now across in china, but some live the storms across the board. i know the posit bornea clutches storms

region of the going to come back and armine as prime minister called the vote. effectively surrendering re challenge reports now from the out of the fighting may have almost completely stopped. but for aman 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. and so 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 must last week as a by john return 15 armenian military prisoners. in exchange back, you received a map showing land binds in an area of a one back in last year's fighting. although the numbers are disputed as

a by john still holds 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 nitty 4000 dom meanings were killed or disappeared when as 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 of 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 fathers. 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 were being addressed by any candidate, neither from the opposition nor of 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 was the palestinian authority. has you turned on a deal with israel to receive more than a 1000000000 curve at 19 vaccines? the palestinians say they were assured all the doses would last into july and august, but instead they were sent 90000 jobs that will expire this month. more than half of his rates are fully vaccination, only one in 3 palestinians has received a single shot by the comet dawkins, after the medical technical tains received the 1st patch to vaccines, the 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,

the deal was canceled and we will remain committed to buying enough vaccines for our people and depression 5 to provide the vaccines as early as possible. one out from i was 0 me the abraham, his in bethlehem and the occupied westbank according to the palestinian health minister of what you're then abreast conference with the spokesperson of the palestinian government. they said that the shipment they received today, which is between 92100000 jobs on pfizer, did not come or wearing up to the palestinian standards affording to the deal that was struck by pfizer. the palestinian officials say that the agreement was that these doses should expire in july and august and stuff because they can get that to the people. but they found out for the, for the policy and officials 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 when you wait for the exact sees that they already ordered

from pfizer to arrive for the 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 a lot of criticism came to israel because it is the occupying power for the 2 international law. many human rights organization said that this is enroll you to vaccinate palestinians, but they didn't do that. and they believed that they were trying to give those shipments to the palestinians because they were already going to throw it away and try to score p r 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 job. so this deal is also the delay of this scene is also expected to further low down the vaccination rate and maybe take

a few months where the palestinians to get through the heard the immunity 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, police in portugal, or stopping drivers, travelling in and out of the list of metropolitan area as part of a new of new cobit 19 restrictions. we can travel is banned in order to prevent transmission, particularly of the higher highly contagious delta vary and portugal is daily case numbers of increased levels not seen since february. the took care of 2020 chief says that she still wants to explore ways to hold next month for lympics with spectators. on friday, the top covered $900.00 medical adviser declared that the games would be safest without any fans at all. this would cost organize us hundreds of millions of dollars in ticket sales. given the foreign spectators are already banned from attending. other sporting events are being held with spectators. so as long as

people want to see the olympics and paralympics, then it's the job of the organizing committee to find and eliminate the risk in order to ensure safety and security. i want to make every effort to continue discussions until the end. so that like in other sports, as many people as possible can watch the games or from out here as for the salami in tokyo. this the mixed visions of holding that limbic to adding more confusion to what's going on. just a week ago, the organizing committee indicated that they're expecting to see about 225000 spectators. they had the different events you wouldn't know when that held on the 23rd don't fly. and they also mentioned that the household order, the 43 percent of the tickets. so now with them, it's the only thing organizers or advising the organizers. and they have already

sold the tickets. so it could be meant to see how if they decided to return the tickets, are they going to decide? and then at the number, the government, the government offset to got a know this thing. the state of emergency on thursday said that they want to cover the number of the major events to 10000 on the regardless of the size of the event or the late. so all this is adding more confusion and this is to got he said that he wanted to see spectators and they vents the rule. that this is the whole game. but we're on monday, we're going to the press conference when the session mobile is going to give us the final decision on that. brazil's sentences wiping the investigation into the government's handling of a panoramic. the health minister is among the 14 people being formally examined.

any half a 1000000 people have died in brazil and president, jaya bolton, r o. s face criticism for being dismissive of the outbreak. mother kiana, kiev reports now from rio. so this thought parliamentary inquiry has begun in april. it's investigating the government's handling of the pen damage, because brazil, contrary to other countries, just have the conditions, mass, vaccinate, people, faster, has done so in the past, but in the sun damage. it was very slow. mostly because there was government denial of how serious this pandemic was. it turned down offers the vaccine made by pfizer. it turns out offers the vaccines made by the world health organization. so on all these officials, the former officials and are being investigated. and what this means, if you turn of events, is that 14 people among the former health minister,

the bus will the current health minister, my some kid hit all of that and the former foreign relations minister, and they're still out there now under investigation. they're not just thinking is witnesses, but what this basically means is that the people that are participating in the probate to now issue search and caesar warns to get more information from these people. so it's, and this is happening just as brazil will probably reach half a 1000000 depth by covered 90 this weekend. italy's economy appears to be climbing out of its curve at 19 plunge its finances face problems even before the pandemic. like people's preference for cash payments, that her tax revenues that looks to be changing now as adam rainy reports for room

this vegetable market in the heart of room dates back to the 18 sixty's, a century and a half on cash is still king. but there are signs the times are changing. for years, the italian government has been encouraging electronic payments. as a way to increase tax receipts. the pandemic gave it the push it needed, as people wanted to pay without handling cash. because they thought exchanging money by hand could spread the virus has just data or level this year and we have to accept progress. this is how things are cash is on the way out. electronic payment in italy, rose 4 percentage points in 2020 alone. and now digital payments make up a 3rd of all transactions. italy even has a lottery to encourage people to request his school receipt for even the smallest purchases. to prove they were made above board. that i got to paying for euro coffee with a card or

a phone was practically unheard of before the pandemic. and now it tell us is communism visit to your local cafe? such purchases are just a small part of the burgeoning digital economy, one growing faster as a result of the pandemic. the government is investing billions of euros from the e u covey. recovery fund to modernize the economy, which is projected to grow by nearly 5 percent. this year and an additional 5 percent in 2022. i think this is a bigger keisha now for air increasing the amount of efficiency spot and see in our system. we have spent also a lot of money during, during this crisis. so now economic growth is really a master executive trainer, mounted your carman. jani sees this is a moment of opportunity for himself and the country at large money, regional capital. i think we used to think we had to be shoulder to shoulder with

our boss. our lives revolved around the physical workspace to succeed today. 95 percent of my work is done from here at home. do you know that provides more possibility for growth. we understand now we can't waste our time at work and must make the most of it for lofty goals in a country where old habits die hard. adam rainy al jazeera rome ah good to have with us. hello, the headlines and i was 0 initial results from iran. the presidential election show hotline of abraham racy well ahead. as expected. the 3 other candidates, civil ready congratulated the judiciary chief. the official final announcement is due some time on saturday. at iran, foreign minister suggesting that an agreement to revive the nuclear deal could be reached before the current administration leaves office.
