and donald trump in 2018, and have crippled around the economy. there is the pandemic as well as i guess, said earlier, around the deadliest outbreak in the middle east. and has been battling and other searching cases and just the past week. and you have to consider around relations of the white, middle east, as well as travel israel has been forging close. the ties with golf nations, places like the united arab emirates as it tries to isolate terror. um, so let's talk through some of these issues with natasha. and that joining us from birmingham deputy dean of government at the university of ethics and also co author of the book democracies and authoritarian regimes. natasha, thank you so much for your time. as i read through that lift or just thought so much of it hinges on the nuclear feel, doesn't it? because if the economy with the important issue for iranian people who did vote, the economy can be repaired. if that deal comes through. if the sanction lifted. right, and i think it's not that clear what racy will be able to do to impact whatever

happens with the nuclear deal. and the one hand, there are talks going on in vienna, dividing administration is open to returning to the deal. but the iranian regime has said publicly that they want some sort of grand gesture from the u. s. and it's not clear that the binding ministration is going to do anything that will satisfy that. and so in terms of the impact of this particular election, i don't see in what way it's going to push the needle one way or the other. we do know of course, right? you see says he wants to return to the deal, but he's also study wants a very strong central government and the type of rhetoric that the ronnie and president can issue. sometimes the facts, the way the us response. so i see raise you in some ways a return talk medina, jobs a more populous authoritarian president. and that was a period where the relationship with us and iran was really, really bad. of course, relationship is always very 10th, but that was definitely more tend to periods. yeah, i was just thinking, as you describe that if someone returned to the athena job style,

i mean back could really back fire for iran, here at a time when it is, is isolated. it's got the pandemic to deal with. it's got all these other issues that can, can afford to be isolated any further. no, it can. it's facing really, really high inflation somewhere around 50 percent rising poverty, even high unemployment. so the economy is really struggling. it hasn't grown since 2017. a lot of this is because of the sanctions. so thanks relief is really critical for on a trying to improve it economic situation, but it's also very isolated in the region now. i know in the last month or so it has been improving its relationship with saudi arabia. but raising never really issued a clear plan about how he plans on improving the relationship with saudi arabia and trying to improve regional stability. so again, there is not much clarity in terms of the program as to what iran is going to do next. in terms of doing anything that will improve the economic outlook here.

there's a theme here, isn't here. the fact that we have a bram racy who was always the favorite and it's no surprise that he's one in a landslide, but we don't really know much about where he's going to take the country in any direction or any shoot. right. and i think that's why i compare him to augment integer words, his populace authoritarian style of leadership. a lot of it is about rhetoric. but you know, in the weeks we are looking at the programs of the candidates. and again, it was a little down to just a few candidates and they didn't have much time to put anything together. there wasn't really anything concrete coming from racy. that if you compare that to the moderate or semi moderate candidate, him mati. there was at least some indication that he wanted to improve the relationship with saudi arabia and then also get iran to approve legislation so that they could return to the f a t f which is an anti money laundering agreement. again, this year. other things, these are all things that affect iran economy that they're not willing to,

to approve certain types of legislation that can bring them closer to other countries and have them more accepted with other countries that will definitely improve their economic outlook. natasha just a quick quote on the ongoing administration. i asked and early a guest about this, but i'd like your view as well. how fun ronnie definitely took iran in a different direction and is going out on a low i think we can say. but and how much of that is of his doing and how much of it comes down to all those sanctions which got piled on? well, i think that was the big problem for ro, honey. and for other moderate candidates in the past presidents in the past like cop to me, they promised a lot. but the role the president isn't very powerful. we know most of the power lines with the supreme leader and the revolutionary guards. but i think the big issue with that ronnie was president, while trump with president and trumping neg, from the landmark nuclear deal. and that made it almost impossible for ronnie to achieve any of the goals that he aimed for. because then the sanctions were so

detrimental that it made it very, very difficult. and you saw that there was just slow economic growth as a result of it. so i feeling was really hamstrung by the fact that he coincided with trump leadership natasha, and a great to talk to you and get your thoughts on this story. thank you so much for your time. thanks for having me. that's returned to some other news. moscow registering a new record for coven 19 infections for the 2nd day running more than 9000 cases recorded in the last 24 hours. also as masters, the search has been driven by the contagious delta, very 1st identified in india, restrictions including a ban on large gatherings have been extended in moscow. the palestinian authorities rejected a deal with israel to receive more than a 1000000 cove in 1900 vaccines, which are close to their expiry date. there was a vaccine swap,

pronounced earlier on friday. palestinians say they were told the doses would last until july and august instead, they got 90000 jobs. it expired this month. and half of israelis have been fully vaccinated compared to just one and 3 palestinians if only had one dose. now it lives economy appears to be climbing out of its coven 19 plan, its finances, the face problems even before the pandemic, are like people's preference for cash payments, which are tax revenues ban looks to be changing. now, as adam rainy reports from this vegetable market, in the heart of rome, 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 payment. 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 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 this receipt for even the smallest purchases. to prove they were made above board. that i got to paying for a 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 euro's from the e. u. coven 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, transparency in our system. we have spent also a lot of money during, during this crisis. so now economy 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. i love that provides more possibility for growth. we understand now we can't waste our time the world and must make the most of it. for lofty goals in a country where old habits die hard,

adam rainy al jazeera rome life has been tough for nearly 900000 people from me and was a hinge, a minority, who escaped to neighboring bangladesh, some of their homes in a fire. really this year and now the rainy season is making it difficult to rebuild . natasha name as our report. in seconds, a fire on a march afternoon turned homes made of plastic sheeting and bamboo poles into ash. at least 15 people were killed and 500 injured. it was another trauma in a life full of them for the hunger refugees living inside this camp in bangladesh. i oh, why doesn't i was bring inside the moss. i rushed towards my home when i didn't see my father and mother. they both died in the fire. the last few months have brought renewed misery for her seen a beggar and her family, but its also been tinge with relief as our new mother we sent for the lap as my

husband died in the fire, so much suffering. we were staying in a plastic temporary shelter where we faced hot weather and rain. the whole family were stay in one small room. now by the grace of god, we have a home and i am very happy. and i am an estimated 45000 homes, were damaged or destroyed. now the monsoon season is here and people are still trying to rebuild on land that's unstable. the fire burn, sand bags and bamboo poles that were used to fortify the hilly terrain of what's become the largest refugee settlement in the world. most of these ro, hanging muslims flood me and mar at the beginning of 2017, hoping this would be a temporary refuge. while i am for out of the 100 and what i always think, how can i go back to my motherland? we are very helpless people, we don't understand what the me and my government plans are. we don't have the

strength to fight against them. so we are asking the heads of states of big countries to come forward and help us get back to our country. but with the military coup in me and mar, in february, that displays thousands more of their people. of return to their homeland seems a distant hope. natasha good name al jazeera knowledge of era has seen an advance copy of a new un reports not yet been made public on children and armed conflicts. the found your report is meant as a sort of blacklist to name and shame parties that commit gray violations against children and a series government, me and mom military and yemen who the rebels who are among those named. but some countries such as israel have been accused of violence against children or been left out. a diplomatic editor james base has more. 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, there's 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 urge 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 killing or making more than 250 children. and the saudi led coalition is responsible according to the report for killing or naming a $194.00 children. but you will find that the who fees 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. and a spokesman for humans who the rebels did respond like using the u. n. chief of hypocrisy. and a statement group said the united nations that overlooked saudi and us strikes on yemen children. now early elections have been called in armenia, but whoever wins will have to heal a nation's gone by last year, defeat in a conflict with as the by john, the 2 sides fought over the disputed region of the going to cut about re challenge that report from get of 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 muslim 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 a 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, nearly 4000 da meanings were killed or disappeared when either by john took back territory last to armenia. during the 1st war, however, disputed new going to kara back, which ended in 1994. on this hillside overlooking air van, 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 their 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 as 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 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 santa is along with your sport in just a moment, including a class ship the coca cola. but no, i went to think of between 2 south american for all giants action,

jump into the comment section. and part of the discussion there are like kinetic efforts to silence fell opinions on the online page on al jazeera. ah ah, welcome back on everything. thank you very much, kamala argentina. have record their 1st when of this year's corporate america. they beat fellow continental giants, your why on a night where chilly. i also picked up a win, so my liquid in normal time of the down would be packed for a copper america showdown between argentina and uruguay. but because of the pandemic matches that this is tournament,

had been staged behind closed doors in brazil, who only took over as the host nation at the last minute from argentine are due to a surgeon cove at 900 cases there. but any of the turbulence, the argent times a year incident to build up that didn't seem to impact them in brazil, you know they, they took the lead early on. we don't. rodriguez netting off to being set up by none other than lean l messy drive towards the pipeline, uruguay. who haven't won this at the corporate since 989 barely threatened the response. one of the few moments of note was failed penalty shout by edison, cuz i know that i go one way or the other, read argentine or control the game and could have added to their lead. but in the end, one goal was the note to the victory against the fellow south american goliath. the

win means argentina, the top of do pay with full points of the to game. but a potable cars are to get us no more. i believe the team gave a lot in order to not concede goals. you know, you learn how to handle your opponents attacks and then hit them when possible to day. i believe we did both. well, surely drew with argentine in their opener and their level of points with them in the group after registering their birth when of the competition and his goal from ben barrett and was enough to see one is victory over bolivia. next up for chilly 0 . why? when that game was certainly get fans talking up, the chances of landing a 3rd corporate title lately i was just ah, england and scott and fired of land at foot was a european championship,

a night of frustration and few chances at london's wembley stadium. so the game finished in a nil nil drawer. and a richardson reports the fisher requests the scotland from not to travel to london for this game had minimal impact. thousands were in the english capital for the match against the historic rivals. why would you like to know why you didn't come? no, i think the thing was to be, i was like, no, they have any questions you know, and i can check, you know, without looking for another 77, still gold push in wembley stadium. the venue for the latest installment of footballs, oldest international fixture. i mean, england aiming to build on a will know when over croatia and unmarked job stones went close to an early

opening goal. leap scotland were looking to hit by car thief against the czech republic. steven o'donnell, with their best chance of the 1st half by take it from stephen england. improved marginally after the break. chelsea's mason mounts one of the few places to leave a lasting impression. even better. it looked for a moment. his club might reach james just about keeping linden dunk survey at the other end of the line. a wimbley let down overall, but with full points, england all looking good for a place in the last 16 and scotland do still have a chance of reaching the knockout rounds going into their final group game against croatia and richardson al jazeera. but i just think the days of the group d game was between the czech republic of croatia, a penalty or from tech strike. patrick she gave him, he said the goal of the torment crecia then life level. the game at one on bus was

called find this are still in danger of going out, haven't taken just one point from the 1st 2 games. so we didn't have all that feel the place and the law 16. and in the 4th, the penalty for them to be a one. now the result that takes them top of group e on 4 point spain and poland or the other teams in this group. and they play each other on the mock midfielder christiana erickson that has been discharged from hospital. it follows a successful operation just days after suffering a cardiac arrest. 29 year old collapse on the pit during denmark's opening game against finland on saturday. except life was saved by cpr. he since had a heart started device implanted golf and day to at the us open. so an unlike a pair of pace setters at the top of the lee, the boy torrey pines, 48 year old englishmen richard playing only in his 4th major phi the brilliant for

give them prize like that's not better. funny. one of india's most beloved sport sauce milk, a thing has size at the age of 90. 1 thing were present to the india at the 96964 olympics and the 400 meters and one the commonwealth game, golden 1958. he died from cove with 19 related complications at the hospital in north indian city of tanika. that's for me. come on by the way. thank you, donna will see you later on. now. next you are finding south korea way. politicians and academics are pushing for traditional paper making to be included on the unesco list of intangible cultural heritage. it's feared hon gee could be in danger of dying out unless it is recognized up and grind reports now from john you its been made the same way for more than a 1000 years. a scale passed from one generation to the next. as in this business run by the tray family, it's often referred to as 100 paper because that's how many stages are considered

needed by hand to make each piece. the pope comes from the inner back of the mulberry tree which grows abundantly on south korea as rocky hillsides. but it can only be harvested at a particular time of the year and then laboriously worked to strip away the out about $100.00 energy. and it takes about 10 years of study learning from a master craftsman. traditions are hard to learn and how to keep up. so it requires a sense of commitment. this business and others still making paper. the same way is located in the city of john du, which is home to a carefully preserved village to promote korean culture for an ancient industry that at one time exported a product to china. considered the birthplace of traditional paper making the decline in korean. han g has been marked, especially in recent times. it's reckoned that from a 100 workshops

a couple of decades ago. bailey 20 now remain on display in this city. the winning entries from a competition aimed at encouraging hunged making while showing off its birth fatality. all the offerings made out of paper. but what's needed, argue at supporters, is the worldwide recognition that would come with unesco listing. would you put the new kid august benefit museum archives and constantly surprised by the condition of historical documents? the characters and colors are vivid. i still have just been drawn and the paper is not damaged at all. the paper from chase workshop is now the preferred choice for us restore is in italy, and he believes unesco recognition. similar to that enjoyed by paper makers from china, and japan would go a long way to preserving his beloved craft. can you tell me? well, of course, i'll do everything i can to prevent this tradition from dying out,

but i can't do it on my own. the whole society must cherish this heritage. consider a precious and love it. a craft whose mastery is hard earned and could easily be lost. rub, mcbride al jazeera junk to south korea. and at the news r. adrian's with more in a moment. the news news, news, news, news, news, frank assessments, schools and shelters have been reduced to rubble. how do you think the shapes of generation and their policy and satellite has been shipped by vitamin some conflict inside story on our jazeera,

something was going to change. anything really changed. this is systemic violence that needs to be addressed at its core. we are in a race against the barriers, know what to say. so we are all saying we're looking at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is always going to be in the house. the bottom line. when i was just there, i'm no rains for among our cars. once lush vegetable garden has turned to dust, she says it's as if the land has given up on her, but she has not given up on the land. in this land you could grow not just to biscuits, but carrots, potatoes, onion, cauliflower, if only we had water during the rainy season. it's another story. the land springs to life. the state pays wine, others to plant trees as part of the great greenwald project. an initiative to stop desertification from east to west africa because of the rising temperatures and the

lack of rainfall, most of the trees planted are either dying or already dead. and while polluting countries have recently pledged billions of dollars more in funds for this project, people here say they're throwing money into the desert. they say they don't need more trees. but more access to water. oh, the hotline of abraham racy is what i had in iran presidential election with nearly 2 thirds of the votes based on the initial results. while iran foreign minister suggests an agreement to revive a nuclear deal could be reached before the current administration leaves office ah.
