ah. the news from al jazeera and these are the top stories. abraham ry fees been declared the winner of rome's presidential election. a widely anticipated results after other strong contenders were bound from running. the hotline has been congratulated by the man who is replacing puts on an outbreak which started in getting back in february has been declared over by its health ministry on the world health organization. 12 and 16 people who were infected died, 11000 people were vaccinated. it helped contain the virus which causes to be a bleeding book, a failure in west african leaders holding a regional stomach in governance capital, the latest coo and molly would like to talk the agenda along with other regional security issues. so more now on

a rounds leadership transition and the from natasha lyn that is the deputy dean of governance at the university of essex. she told us it's still unclear actually how i see leadership will affect talks on the nuclear deal. 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. the byte 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 that right? you see says he wants to return to the deal, but he's also he wants a very strong central government and the type of rhetoric that the iranian

presidents can issue sometimes effects a way to us respond. so i see raised in some ways of return talk medina, job a more populous authoritarian president. and that was a period where the relationship with us in iran was really, really bad. of course relationship is always very tense, but that was definitely more tens period. so the economy is really struggling. it hasn't grown since 2017. a lot of this is because of the sanctions. so sanction relief is really critical for on a trying to improve its 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. let's get more on the view from washington. kristen salumi is there for us.

kristin: tell us about us reactions or perhaps likely us reaction given that you know in hot sun ra honda, you had a better part, shall we say? certainly with regards to the nuclear deal. that's certainly the way it was viewed from here in washington. d. c. no official reaction from the u. s. government. yet, although the state department spokesperson did say on friday that iranians were denied their right to choose their own leaders in a free and fair election process, likely referring to the disqualification of several candidates in this race. this puts the united states in an awkward position as abraham rossi is the 1st leader of iran to be under sanctions. when elected the trump administration in 2019 imposed economic sanctions on him for human rights abuses. and his alleged role in political executions that took place back in the 1980 something that he's never

publicly addressed. but the main concern for the united states really is what this means for the nuclear deal and efforts to revive the nuclear deal. of course have been 6 rounds of talks with the u. s. so far on the sidelines of this, but it is a priority for president joe biden and his administration, a foreign policy priority to get that deal back on the table. and it's been, it's been tough going and it's expected to get even tougher with ra, z in power. his administration is widely expected to pivot more towards russia and china than the west. something that the supreme leader has advocated. and that's expected to make things more difficult. the united states was hoping to have a resolution before the new administration was in power. that hasn't happened yet. so concerned certainly i think we can expect from the united states and how this is going to affect those talks. thank you. christian salumi in washington,

dc to hong kong with a chief editor and chief executive of a pro democracy newspaper have been denied vale after their appearance in court. ryan law and john came home are accused of concluding with a foreign country. they were arrested at the offices of the apple daily on thursday . under the cities sweeping national security law cases drawn international condemnation. the us military presence in the middle east is shrinking further. some equipment and hundreds of soldiers are being pulled out. the pentagon confirmed reports that anti missile batteries are being removed from iraq, kuwait, jordan, and saudi arabia. that's 2 years after it actually grew with military presence in the region. attention escalated with iran. deborah la sunday has moved from washington. well, the pentagon is not telling us exactly how many troops in 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 for 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 and he focuses 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 to run of r c's now. moscow. first of all, which has registered another record for coven 19 infections, 2 days in a row, no. more than 9000 cases were recorded in the past 24 hours. the mayor of moscow says the search is being driven by the extra contagious delta, very and 1st seen in india, restrictions, including a ban on large gatherings have been extend. it's the tokyo 2020 chief says she

still wants to explore ways to hold next month selling picks with spectators. on friday, the top cove at 900 medical adviser declared. the games would be safest without any fans at all. cost organizes hundreds of millions of dollars in ticket sales, given foreign spectators are already banned from attending. who can all 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. while ethan is economy appears to be climbing out of it's coded, $900.00 plunge. it's finance, of course, size problems even before the pandemic, like people's preference for cash payments, which her tax revenues. but that looks to be changing now as adam rennie reports around this vegetable market in the heart of room dates. back to the 18th

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 a 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 $4.00 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 receipt for even the smallest purchases to prove they were made above board. but i got not 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 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. coby 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 big location 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 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, every single 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. 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. now, one of the many uncomfortable truths about race in the united states is that native american tribes once owned black slaves after the civil war, they ground to be slaves, full citizenship. but over the years, they are stripped by tribal members of their rights shepherd, towns, the reports from broken arrow oklahoma on how they're trying to win those rights back in broken arrow, oklahoma, there lives a cemetery for creek indian 3 men. the tribes, former black slaves, is neglected and becoming a dumping grounds. yes,

this is one of the benjamin when run de grayson 1st heard about that she didn't get very far in her inquiries about who owns this plot of land. and when i received the 2nd call, i said this is the ancestors calling us, and we have to do something. not only did she find the owner, she managed to acquire the land on behalf of the creek, indian friedman. now she's begun work on restoration and an accounting of who's buried. this is rebecca johnson born july, 4th, on independence day, 1865 at the recent commemorations for the santini, of the tulsa race massacre. black and native americans are a strong presence. and as with the massacre of 1921, many in the us and elsewhere aren't even aware of their existence. some native american tribes long accepted black members, but it also, oklahoma white settlers judged the tribes civilized because not only did they assimilate with the newcomers in dress and religion, but also in the adoption of black chattel slavery. after the civil war,

the tribal nations abolished slavery as part of the treaty signed with the federal government in $1866.00, former slaves would be fully integrated and now known as friedman. and there was full integration and into marriage. legal show to herriman even served as the principal chief of the creek nation between 1887 and 895. we know that american co, he was in 1888. she is an original, enroll lee of a muskogee creek nation. rome de grayson's great grandmother lived her whole life as a member of the muskogee creek tribe. but then in 1979, the creek pass new laws decreeing that friedman would no longer tribal members. the other tribes followed friedman would lose that tribal voting rights, as well as the housing health and other benefits. every world should be outrage that this could happen in 1979 tribes argued it was an expression of their sovereignty. an 866 treaty with the u. s. government should not be the final say on

who was a member of that tribes. they should be sovereignty as phone, but sovereignty does not give you the right to discriminate against the people. and that's essentially what's happening. grayson who's been leading efforts, overturn the new laws, sees other motivations. it's about green and it's about racism is the core of the entire issue. that's it. efforts to pressure the tribes to reverse their exclusionary policies have been successful in the courts. in 2017, the cherokee nation was forced to abandon plans to expel its friedman cherokees or are people. and unfortunately, in this world they're still people who are racist. i think the vast majority of charities are not the u. s. congress is getting involved threatening to withhold funding if other tribes did reverse course, and it seems to be working some say they will open a dialogue on the issue. but it is fraught on the face of it. the federal government is overtly intervening and tribal affairs. however, since

a supreme court ruling in 2020 the tribes arguments are excluding freedman have become shakia. muskogee creek tribe argued ro talerie from the federal government, its basis, the 1866 treaty with the federal government and the tribe one. but it's that same treaty that gave freed bill full rights as tribal members. fioma, edward creek, all grayson's tribe, and cheese determines that friedman, members, both living and dead, will soon be able to reclaim their identity. she ever chancey al jazeera, broken arrow oklahoma. we've got a sport in a moment, a clash at the copa and between 2 south american football giants, son and we'll have that on the read through the 4th amendment. ah, we'll go from one is a homework cup was what rooms were made. it turned into
