history at the border with the area, a major military operation by forces loyal to the libyan warlord. highly for half brazil's corona virus, best hole reaches 500000 protests. there's say the president must be impeach over his handling of the pandemic. and the ancient craft, the need of preserving calls to protect, to traditional korean paper making and inform germany are back on track at football european championship. after losing their 1st match, they beaten title holders, portugal for to ah the hard line candidate, abraham racy has been declared the winner of iran's presidential election. a widely anticipated result. after other a strong contender is, were barred from running

a c one. nearly 62 percent of the vote per annette, however, was low with less than 50 percent of eligible people voting. this was largely attributed to a lack of enthusiasm for the election and the pandemic on saturday. racy was visited at his office by the outgoing president of sun. ronnie bass. he takes office in august and promises to work closely with the former leader. monk said much about that of his yacht as i congratulate my very dear brother mister abraham . right. you see, he has a very heavy responsibility check. now that i'm care, ma'am, i have no doubt that the people will support his legitimate government so that their interest can be best implemented. suppose hold, hold on right now. i'd like to offer my gratitude to the very dear honorable and vigilant people. i thank the almighty god for the dear people's trust. in the serving seminary student. i hope i can respond well to the people's confidence

votes unkindness during my term. and that's because, well, it's the 2nd time that abraham, where you see a farm for the presidency, and now that he has the job, he faces some uphill challenges. domestically. the primary problem is the economy. unemployment is up, the currency has collapsed to its lowest rate. and with m. s. projections of 39 percent inflation this year. prices have ford and much of that is linked to us sanctions, which of course makes foreign relations a key issue, but only the nuclear deal end relations with the u. s. but also regional ties that already some positive noises there, though with foreign minister java shitty. saying that he is ready to reestablish formal diplomatic links with saudi arabia. and then of course, there's the pandemic officially about $802000.00 people have died, but it's thought to be an underestimate. iran's population is about 83000000 people, but fewer than 5000000 vaccine doses have been administered. so far as the big has

been following developments in the capital to iran, and he says that despite the low turn out, many are celebrating well, it depends he talk to, if you talk to his supporters, lowville say this was an election. people had a choice to vote or not to vote, and those that voted the majority of those 62 percent voted for right. in fact, he increased his vote from the last time he stood back in 2017 against prison tests under honey did back then he got just shy of 16000000. this time he got just shy of 18000000, while so significant is of those votes that were in invited vote back in 2017. they were 1200000 this time it was 3 times higher, 3700000. and it's understood that many people actually voted, spoke their balance, but there are questions around this election and right legitimacy of this election

. that's because many prominent moderates and reform, mr. disqualified and we're not allowed to stent. and many believe that the stablish moment of those political forces behind the brain, right? you are trying to make, he's run for presidency as easy as possible brain raise. he has a reputation of campaigning against corruption, but also he has some controversy going back to 1988. he was a part of a committee the over. so mass executions here in iran in fact to be our sanctions against him. and i'm, i'm this international have come out today to say that he should be investigated for crimes against humanity. so there are some concerns over brian, right? you see, and he's passed, but the main challenge for him is how he will deal with the economy. because when we've been out in the streets, the main consent from everybody has been the lack of employment to the high inflation rate and the value of the ring in reality, which has dropped dramatically. what we see is actually under sanctions from the

united states for human rights abuse allegations us president joe biden has yet to publicly react to the election result, which is at a delicate time in the go see ations over the uranium nuclear deal. christmas a movie has worn out from washington d. c. this has to be a concern for the united states. they're striving to get a renewed iran deal in place before he takes office in august. we know another meeting is scheduled to happen in vienna on sunday. b, u s, of course, has not been directly engaged with iran in these talks, instead of leaving that to their counterparts in the deal, but by joe biden. the president of the u. s. is very eager to make progress on this front and as far as easy as concerned on the one hand, this man is a hard liner. that's a concern for the united states. amnesty international has linked him to death squads in the 1900 eighty's that oversaw the killing of thousands extradition extra

judicially political prisoners. and as the head of the judiciary, racy over saw other human rights abuses. according to amnesty international, including allowing government officials and security forces immunity and their crackdown on protesters and dissidence and so forth. so this makes right, you see actually the 1st iranian president sworn into office under un sanctions in 2019, when he took over as the head of the judiciary, the united states level, personal sanctions against him. so that is a complicating factor in the relationship here. and on the other hand, he has also express support for getting the iran deal done. so there could be some impetus to move things forward. now that he has been sworn in, the challenge for the united states is that president biden wants to take the iran deal even farther and include ron's ballistic missile program. that was never going

to be an easy agreement to come by. this may make it even harder. most the analyst expect a pivot from iran, away from the west. even furthermore, towards russia and china. now that he's in power a military force in libya, loyal to warlord halle, for half tara says it's taken control of border crossings with julia and declared it a military zone on thursday. half that announced an operation in the area to expel what he described as african mercenaries and extremist fighters. the board has been closed for nearly 7 years because of the conflict in libya. it's the 1st military operation of its kind by half those forces since signing a sci fi. you're deal with tripoli last october, or miley trainer has worn out from tripoli. livia has seen relative peace since the cease fire agreement was signed in october. so this is a very significant movement,

the 1st time that such a large military mobilization has happened. dave declared, have to force have declared the area military zone. so we're gonna have to wait and see what's going to happen. but this comes just days before an international conference in berlin. the united nations in germany are hosting the berlin to conference. and that's meant to bring, bring before an actors for actors involved for stakeholders. together in berlin to discuss, supporting libya, new in term unity, government, and also bringing about elections. elections are scheduled to take place in december this year, but this could possibly impede those elections and impede the peace process that's been happening. and this also comes just a few days after an official visit by luke the libyan government. to algeria, they agreed on a couple things, one of which was opening the tunisian and algerian border for commercial trade. the

board was closed for several years. we're going to have to wait and see what kind of, what, what, what exactly is going to happen after this military movement. and whether or not this will create or bring about or bring more challenges towards this new government to lead the country to elections. later on this year, the military in yemen says it's killed $31.00 who the rebels and lost 16 of its own soldiers in renewed fighting for the key strategic town of mighty. yelman's military is baffling to defend lady the last government stronghold in the north of the country, which is surrounded by oil fields. the government, backed by a fairly led coalition, has been fighting the who these for control of yemen. since 2014 still to come here on the news, our competing protests in the streets of peru, rival groups claimed their candidate won the presidential election. and in for his

this driver on his way to a 1st formula, one world, the title fighter will be here with that story and more ah, if you can vote in parliamentary elections on monday. but campaigning is against the backdrop of the crisis in northern ethiopia as t great region where the army has been battling forces loyal to the regional government since november. more than 2000000 people have been displaced with tens of 1000 fleeing across the border into sedan. heber morgan reports now from a refugee camp in sedans. godaddy state. this was once i get highly maria shelter in this refugee camp before went and heavy rain brought it down 2 weeks ago, a farmer from whom at r. and if you'd be a sticker reach and he says he stayed despite the fact that started last november.

but when his livelihood was threatened, he was forced to leave his farm and come to the dance, got out of state. the latter held, the horror militia came and burned our farms up. we planted and we're waiting to harvest, and they stole everything. i wanted to stay, but there was no food, and they were preventing aid from reaching us. so i came here to seek security and to get food again. i think it says he believes the branding of farms was done to force the grand like himself into sar basin. the conflict between the if you can government and the regional take great people's liberation front, has kill thousands and internally displaced more than 2000000 over the past 7 months. 350000 people in the region are facing famine. according to the united nation, which says that's barbados is being used as a weapon of war. the united states has described the conflict as ethnic cleansing against the grands, at least 70000 to grant have fled to sedan. since the thoughts of the fighting, the number of refugees arriving in camp here in put down have reduced compared to the conflict broke out into gray. but those who managed to cross the border say

it's not because conditions have improved back home. they say to going to continue to be targeted because of the city and many atrocities are being reported. and while they come seeking refuge conditions here are far from ideal. said gothic light was one of the 1st to arrive in discount which opened at the start of the year. the shelter she was given like hundreds of others, has collapsed as a result of terrible weather conditions. she says she shared accommodation with other refugee families. and while she received a not enough for her and her family, she is now suffering from malnutrition and is unable to nurse her 16 month old daughter. hard to find a mallet, but given flower and oil. but it's not enough for my daughter to keep crying for milk, but i don't have any to give her. so i give her rise to keep her stomach full, but that's not enough to cover the nutrients she needs. and i worry about her house . 8 are going to stations the hundreds of severe and moderate malnutrition cases have been recorded in the for refugee camp established to accommodate the refugees

and can authority say access to health care to treat malnutrition as well as other diseases is limited. and with the rainy season starting, they are concerned about the welfare of the refugees. like you to get them, i will have someone doesn't want to go. those who are suffering from h shortages need to make sure all their needs are met with the rainy season. starting. we've already seen shelters falling, and many people left off to the open again. with some suffering from malnutrition, we can see more and more refugees getting sickness. the situation is dire and we need it. organizations to step up, i guess as he'll work to fix his shelter until he gets a better one. but he says, looking at the life his living now, he wishes the conflicts back home with and so he can go back to his farm and to the life his left behind. he but morgan aren't there on the mate, but camp stayed well, it's widely alleged that during the p, grey conflict, sexual violence has become

a weapon of war. june 19th marks the international day for the elimination of sexual violence in conflict. and this year, the you and says the under reporting of sexual violence has been compounded by the coven. 19 containment measures. will you will action that the agency passed with ending conflict related. sexual violence, says cases were reported in 19 countries last year. the violence took the form of rape, sexual slavery force, prostitution, 4th abortions, and more in the c o. p or the field in human rights commission, found the 100 an 8 rapes had been committed in a 2 month period during the t great conflict. there is also been reports of people being forced to rape members of their family under threat of violence. well, the un mission in central african republic, documented $240.00 cases of conflict related sexual violence last year, affecting a $129.00 girls, a $108.00 women and 3 men, it included rape, attempted rape,

and sexual slavery. well christina lamb is the chief foreign correspondent for the sunday times and the best selling all for her latest book is our bodies. they are battle field war dust women and she joins us now. christina lamb, thank you so much for being with us. here on al jazeera, i mean you could argue that rape has always been a weapon of war, but what really struck me in your book is that you mentioned that over the last 5 years, you've seen more shocking brutality against women in country after country than you had witnessed in more than 3 decades as a foreign correspondent, which is a very shocking thing to read. why do you think it's getting worse? yeah, i mean, as you said, that had always been rate. or if you go back to sort of ancient greeks and romans and pageant accounts adoptions of women. but what it seems to me

is in the last, i would say going back reading absolute 2014, when the girls who abducted nigeria by book who harm fight is. and then a few months after that you had, i see it's going into northern iraq and taking thousands. if you see the girls and enslaving that, it felt to me that i was just hearing more and more accounts from girls and women of being raped, terrible sexual violence against the gang rapes often in france. if their family members just really horrific things and to start with, i thought, well maybe it's just that people who are talking about it more now, but it is much more of them. again in 2017, the ranking people were fleeing from me because their villages were being set fire to some of the men were being killed. all 700000 people fled into

madame within a few months. then the majority of women and children, and every single woman i interviewed was telling me that story is about being dragged from that hocks and try to pin on a trees and gang right just in front of their children and say, you know, this is something that's just happening more and more. today we've seen the publication of 2 letters to coincide with this international day for the elimination of sexual violence. they're directed to the un security council effective the asking the council to set up a tribunal to investigate certainly in t grade the allegations of sexual violence that could amount to a war crime just more widely. this highlights the issue of accountability and one of the things that shines through in your book is how often there just doesn't really seem to be much accountability for these crimes. what do you think can be

done to increase it? well, it is when the things it shocked me once i started looking into it, i mean, accountability at the moment really is the exception, not the rule. of course, it's very difficult to get justice right anywhere. i mean here in the u. k. b, conviction rates are extremely low, but in places where the perpetrators might actually be running the country or dominating the area where people don't have access easily to enjoy is or, or finance is extremely difficult to get justice. and they really need international. how will rate is a war crime un 20 years ago passed to resignation? $1525.00. the every country supported to say that this is something good to be done about this. and yet very little higher than even the international criminal court, which was supposed to make a priority if this in almost 20 years existence and only convicted one pass and

quite recently for sex success to violence despite many cases being bad. so it's really time i hear that people do more than express outrage and it's very unfair on all of these brave women and girls who have come forward and told that story isn't yet, and nothing has happened. well, the un un says the one of the reasons it's been on the report in the past year has been because of the pandemic coming. be that as it may, it's been under reported for a long time. and as you're saying, when it comes to the legal side of often the stories are in our into listen to in and taken seriously. why do you think that is? do you think that an element of it is that history in a sense? so the storytellers of overwhelmingly being man and to a certain level still kind of are i'm afraid that that is one of the reasons i think it is difficult to explain it. otherwise,

i think that one problem is also not just the history as has been written by men, but when peace negotiations take place, they've tended to be completely dominated by man. i mean, there's not a single piece of creation getting up around the world at the moment. that's headed by a woman. many of them have very few women involved and say this issue is not brought up in fact and when you speak to men about it, they often just seem to regard as a site issue as if it doesn't really matter what really matters, killings and torture. they just didn't understand that for people the, it's been through this and many cases do them. and i spoke to said that they would rather been killed because this is destroyed the lives of the studies about all of this. i mean one side you have the issue of the difficulty of getting justice,

but the other problem is that this is a crime where the people who have suffered the victims are often regarded as the people that somehow to be stigmatized and ostracized from their community. so they feel as if they've done something wrong when in fact something bad with done to them. so i think it's really important that community lead isn't face lead. it's are brought on board to say, we have to help these women that she very brave and they, they need after pull the last thing that should happen to them. it's that they should be feeling shame and that they be $4000.00 that community. absolutely. the women are and very often their children as well, which tend to be the result of violence. i mean, the book, again, you say that in war, rape is the cheapest weapon known to man. so it obviously goes for many soldiers of fighters beyond the just getting the so called of spoils of war,

which is an ugly phrase. but what do you think is the systemic approach in which rates specifically is used more? what do you think the people who perpetrated hope to achieve? well want to this is one of the problems is actually a very effective weapon. if you want to clear an area or humiliate your enemy. this is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to do as 15 to 6 man, it's cheaper than a kalashnikov. and so who, what i found in my research was sit there lots of cases in recent years where it really is being used as a weapon. it's not just happening in the general chaos of war, but, but fights actually being instructed audit to, to do it. so in the case of these e, d, c, i think fighters were told that the cds a devil worshippers, and it's your religious. do you see to inflate them and do these things to them?

in other cases, it's for different reasons. in, in the d r. c, you have malicious, want to access lucrative mineral, things that we use in our, our fans and laptops. and so if they want to take over an area going in and raping women and girls who isn't effective way, sadly, guessing people to flee, then they can take over. the chapter under the are see, was a very difficult to read from your book to our bodies. they are battlefield. what war does to women kind of being an easy book to write, but it is definitely worth the read. christina lam, foreign correspondent for the sunday time. thank you so much for sharing your views and experience with us. you keep now rival protests are taking place on the streets of the peruvian capital, lima by supporters of the 2 opposing presidential candidates. federal c u. s. claim

victory in the presidential one of 2 weeks ago, but his right wing opponent cake was. maury is refusing to concede defeat account to ended on tuesday with christie. you're just over 44000 votes ahead. who's your morning is claiming election ford with little evidence the back it up. well, let's cross live now. somebody on a sanchez, he joins us now from the ma, marianna, people protesting in peru their calls for marches around the country. it seems that many of them are anxious about the results. what's actually going on there? will barbara, there are people reporters of pick up of somebody just a few blocks away from the field gathering here in the center of the capital. people on both sides. very anxious about the result. many people here are the supporters of food, or you're saying that the electrical official gave 100 percent of results with more than 44000 bolts and he should be called freshman. why they say,

why are officials waiting and they feel that the the would you, maurice, would you more got the fight, feel the election on the other hand, support is up. take off with your body, feel that there's been a fraud. the frog has been committed in the tables with falsifying didn't approve about another. and they feel that there have been fraud why rhythm, who somebody might have said in reality is that she has not providing any real evidence. and electrical officials have said that there has not been evidence of a systematic fraud. international monitors have also said that there has not been a fraud. however, those in a very small, i'm saying in favor of the pro fraud narrative, if you will, where politicians are saying that a new election should be held,

of course will favor people who marty. and also there's a find that the very of a lot of instability because former retired military have find them better. i mean, hundreds of the ones that are asking the media, sorry to prevent you from being wanting the president. they are asking for us who saw the moment or the thing is of a lot of political instability being seen here in the lease of the coffee. so barbara and mariana, just remind us why have the result been delayed? quite so much. well let's real officials have received, received a 130 last body. she see that were challenged by wednesday a year, which was the deadline may have resolved all those not can save you money,

but that would be more recap, how continues to bring in more and more challenge 1st after the deadline has been closed days after the deadline, was reached and an actual officials of stores in there tell me that what they want to do is to continue looking at those because they want everyone to be calm and that's the election will be transparent for everyone. they are taking so long, but they're still in the period of normal time for the county of, of, of a situation like this to be able to name the precedent. so they are taking some some more time. but it is because people are very anxious in the 3 dots. there's a lot of personal for them, but still they're taking the time and they want to bring all the numbers clear and transparent. so everyone accept the results. barbara right in
