the 3rd year with hundreds suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning as they tried to stay with them any way they could plunge investigates where the use of the regulation and prioritizing profits led to the state's power grid failure. the texas blackout on jesse era. ah, the celebrations in iran often landslide, when for abraham racy giving conservatives full control for the 1st time, ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is sarah from dell also coming up a test of survival for 5 minutes. nicole fashion young armenians head for us not. let's not defeat the war against as a by john. the brazilians raise their

voices against president jab both, and i was handling of the pandemic that's now killed half a 1000000 people. and after a long struggle, black native americans are winning back their tribal rights. the rom, conservatives, are set to consolidate their grip on power. after hardliner, abraham bracy was declared. the winner friday's presidential election turn out was the lowest in the history of the islamic republic, underscoring the challenges that lie ahead when the former chief justice takes power in august. a big report from tara that everyone in iran knew the outcome with no real prominent opposition holds predicted conservative clerical brain. right? you see would when and when he did in a landslide victory, he's closest opponent receiving 14000000 few votes, right? if he 1st gained prominence amongst a religious faithful,

when he was appointed as custodian over the shrine in the city of mush at frequented by millions of pilgrims a year. he was praised for removing cropped officials from the shrines administration and serving pilgrims and ayatollah considered to be a hide religious authority. and she islam, his religious title hold weight among the countries religious, conservative base, right? if he had failed in his bid to win the presidency in 2017, he lost by 8000000 volts to hassan ronnie. during that campaign, he was criticized for his pastoral as a judge. on election day, once again, our people announced their decision and rejected those who in 38 years didn't know anything but execution, an imprisonment as a young man, he was part of a committee that oversaw mass executions in 1988 an audio recording was leaked during the 2017 election where i had to la montessori, condemned. right. you see and others on the committee for their role in the

executions and general. yeah. i think the worst crime against the atlantic republican that history will condemn us for has been committed by you and your name will go in history as a criminal. amnesty international has said, right, he should be investigated for crimes against humanity. as the judicial chief, he's seen as tacking corruption, a fundamental concern for many iranians. his appointment by the supreme needed to key roles has raised other questions, some feel his presidency, setting the stage for him to become the next supreme leader. but he still has to serve as president and make life better for many iranians supposed to shut down 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 students, i hope i can respond well to the people's confidence votes unkindness. during my turn. he's surrounded by what many consider to be hard line, as opposed to the 2015 nuclear deal. racy says he supported mom be about

a young man studying again. we are committed to the jcp away as it was approved by ayatollah harmony. but you can't implemented a stone. governments should be in power to be able to implement. but unlike president tundra honey and the moderates who saw the dia, that's the foundation for broader discussions and relations with the west rafia and he's cap, see it as a feeling with deep mistrust of the united states. but his real test will be how he serves as president, and what change can bring to the country. as i said, big 0 there on what is the 2nd time abraham racy has run for the presidency. and now we have the job, he faced some uphill battles. the main issue is the economy. unemployment is up. the currency has collapsed down with projections of 39 percent inflation this year . prices have sold much of that link to us functions. relations with washington, the 2015 nuclear deal, and regional rival, with saudi arabia, a some of the key foreign policy issues. and then there's

a corona virus pandemic. more than 82000 people have died and only 3 percent of the population has been vaccinated. for the us, as iranians were denied a free and fair vote in the presidential election, pledge to continue negotiations to save the 2015 nuclear deal. kristen, for me as more 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 1980 s that oversaw the killing of thousands extradition extra

judicially of 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 and 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, but indirect talks between iran in the u. s to save the nuclear agreement are continuing in vienna. iran's foreign minister says they're going well and a deal could be reached before race. he takes our day is a good possibility that we will 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. they before made us talk. so going on right now as we speak, i just read the latest text editor that is being discussed in,

in vienna. the text is getting cleaner and cleaner. the brackets are being removed . saudi arabia says it's intercepted 6 more on drones. launched by humans who the rebels, most of them were fired towards the city of thomas machines in the south west of the kingdom. saudi state, media, se air defenses have intercepted 17 drones over the past 24 hours. not pose of just opened for armenia snapped parliamentary election, the prime minister nicole passions and was forced to cool the vote following protest over the defeat and the war with as the by john last year, analyst predicting a tight race. we challenge reports from europe. i just 3 years own from it's so cool. building revolution domine. and politics is getting allowed again. this election should be 2 years off still, but prime minister nicole passion, young. he wrote a power on a wave of street protests in 2018, a since lost a humiliating war. and he is much weakens our supporters with

a ratty in yerevan sticking by the man though. he did everything that you're here to support our prime minister because we trust him. we've seen full freedom during his years and office and this is enough reason to trust him again and again, somewhat unusually for a former soviet country outside the u. this is a competitive election with an uncertain outcome, but they're still a favorite. it could reasonably be expected that any prime minister who was always countries, devastating defeat and war would be political history. yes, the polls have titans, but most predictions are the nicole passion. you will be the next prime minister of armenia and paradoxically, for an incumbent. he's framing this as a new revolution. let me see sunny on the 20th of jones cutting from 8 am in

armenia. a people non violent revolution will start, but this time it's going to be an iron revolution, and that's revolution will start from a t m, at the polling stations, and they'll be massive voting for us. now with his armenia alliance, former president robert carrion is passion, yann's main rival, although he's tainted by allegations of corruption contrary and is trying to capitalize on his polls, bounce and unify the m t. pass union vote. they have no trust towards cure ortiz because that to blame for crisis in some of them. and i've got a border most important for me is to create peace to our country. i'm sure our media alliance will go forward and not back it political scientists. alexander is, can darian says armenia is still democratic, the young and personality dominates rather than stable parties. i asked him what challenges the winner faces. eric, everything from

a corner made to institutionalization from problems with other by john borders. know, got to cut about the problem, refugees develop that said a lot of problem that that's a problem. i will say any part to which will come to part to the to, to power now will be not popular enough. here about these campaigns have been polarized and bitter, and the country is deeply traumatized by military defeat. elections may result. some of the countries issues that by no means all of them and really challenge joins of live now from year of unruly. so how important then is this election for armenia because it looks set to decide the country's future off the war with as a by john and we just heard from alexander, can vary on that the political scientist that i was talking to in my report that long laundry list of problems that the country faces and that the victor in this

election is going to have to deal with at the very least, i think people are hoping that these elections will be brought forward to years, are going to confer on the when to some degree of popular legitimacy and give them 5 years. that's the length of term here, 5 years in which to start grappling with those issues. the choices that the electra faces here essentially bowl down to a to horse race it's. it's a previously popular reformer. nicole passion, the m who has lost the war and has lost a lot of his popularity. he standing against a member of the old god drobek, a cherry, and whose tainted a lot by those election scandals that political scandals and corruption of the past . a lot of voters turned off by both of these options, particularly those think who are traumatized by the war. those who have lost my

son's brother's fathers, we've been speaking to people who have said essentially none of the politicians on offer are particularly appealing to them anymore. and they are still deep in the trauma of their last as is this whole country unruly. russia played peacemaker at the end of the latest conflicts out of moscow fit into this election. then that's a really interesting question. i mean, i think for people who watch elections and the politics in former parts of the soviet union, parts of the world that were previously communist. you can often see a fairly heavy hand of russia at play. people were talking going into the war and as the war progressed, last year that russia was being weakened, the disposition was, was crumbling. it was being out played by turkey. the way it ended up was not like that. russia actually ended up in quite a strong position with peacekeepers on the grounds,

and an a russian brokerage piece agreement. essentially, i think what russia has here is both candidates. they would be happy, russia would be happy with. so you're not really seeing any kind of evidence of russian subversive operations or heavy handed meddling in this election. nicole passion and who came to power with that she quite empty. russian statements has pretty much dropped all of those due to the realities of being in office here for, for 3 years or so. so, whether this goes to passion yan, or to contrarian, but moscow, i think it feels that its influence in this country is pretty secure. alright, to really challenge life in the medium capital van rory. thank. that's most let's come here. now. just they are including how cobit 19 brought about payments revolution that italy government has wanted for year warner famous. ah,

ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored like cattle airways. hello there, let start in the middle east and strong shamal winds continue to blow down from the northwest, kicking up quite a lot of dust for the gulf states. we've seen strong gusts of wind in q weight and car temperatures of did slightly as well. in visibility is pretty poor as that dust kicks up, creating a lot of hazy sunshine, but the winds are going to die down as we go into monday. visibility will improve and the dust will settle, but it's still a very hot and dry picture for much of saudi arabia. slightly cooler for a man. we've got that wind keeping coastal areas rather cool. and if there is any way, whether it's to the west of yemen, there's also some rain brewing across the western areas of ethiopia. and as we go

into monday to be kenya and tanzania that see the rain coming into coastal areas. but it's relatively quiet across the central bound of africa in the gulf of guinea that we are seeing those storms brewing bringing some severe weather to northern parts of cameroon. we've seen flooding there, we could see more. but for the south, things are looking a lot finer. enjoy a plenty of sunshine coming through in south africa. little bit of rain coming in to southern areas of mos, then b. but the sunshine comes through for cape town with 26 degrees celsius. sponsored power cut on airways, be part of the debate itself defeated to end closing in the us or in the u. k. because it will just come back again when no topic is off the table. what we wanted to talk about were these latin white men touching aloud to dream, where a global audience becomes a global community jump into the comment section. and part of those discussion

there are like kinetic efforts to silence fell opinions on the online based on al jazeera. ah, ah ah, welcome back to pick them out of the top stories here on i'll just say right. iran conservative to consolidate their grip on power. after hotline abraham racy was the winner of friday's presidential election. the u. s. says iranians were denied a free and fair vote, but pledge to continue negotiations to save the 2050 nuclear deal. saudi arabia says it's intercepted fix, more drones launched by humans and the rebels. most of them were fired towards the city in the south west of a kingdom. saudi state, me to say, 17 jones of been intercepted over the past 24 hours. and polls of just opened

armenia snap parliamentary election. the prime minister nicole fashion young, was forced to cool the early vote and protest over the country defeat in the war with as the by john last year. analysts saw predict things a tight race in anti government protested of taking to the streets of brazil as the number of deaths from corona virus, past half a 1000000 opponents blame the world's 2nd deadliest outbreak on the president's response, monica, you're not yet reports. now, somebody a janera now who's rallied across dozens of cities in brazil to denounce president jadem ball. so not his handling of the pandemic. marching through the streets of rio de janeiro to the sound of drum beat. into the chant of indigenous tried in the capital, brazilian. this is called triple sonata impeachment, accusing him

a still downplaying the cove in 1910 demik. despite brazil's death toll being the 2nd largest in the world, when the protest began and real, the corona virus had already killed more than 490000 brazilians. as the day were on brazil reached the tragic milestone of half a 1000000 dead. this governments responsible for genocide, it delayed the vaccination roll out. we cannot continue to be governed by a president who doesn't care about brazilian lives just last week both. so now was fine for leading a motor bike rally and some bombing without wearing a mask. he's already on the campaign trail for next year's presidential election and continues to promote hydroxy cora wine as the cure for the corona virus. i'm 65 years old, was infected by cupid 19 and took drugs corklin the next day i was cured. so not

his opponents had been reluctant to take to the streets against him, arguing that people should stay home in the midst of a pandemic. now the states risk you to remain quiet as if you were here to fight for our lives. the virus is less did leave that out president. we want him out. now. this is happening while the senate committee is still investigating the government handling of the senators, doctors and scientists say this is the government has tried to keep her immunity by infection. there's the suspicion that every scientist in brazil now has and the president of brazil is doing everything he came to convince us the best is a strategy since the beginning. when he goes and say that and says dad immunization produces a protection that is smaller than if you have the disease which is not true.

meanwhile, an average 2000 brazilians have been dying every day. and many fear that at this rate, resuming soon surpass united states as the country with the world's largest covered 1900 death, told monica, and i kept all just 0. we're diginero malawi has run out of corona, virus vaccines, a major un shipment due to arrive in may, has been delayed following the suspension of export from india. nearly 400000 people have had their 1st shot. the only a fraction of those of had a 2nd, those italy's economy appears to be emerging from its cobra. 1900 crisis in finance is face problems even before the pandemic, like people's preference for cash payments. but her tax revenues, but now that's all changing as adam rainy reports from wrote 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 out all of all 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 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 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 cove. it 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 efficient cetera 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 carving, 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 afghanistan's president ash are gone and he has replace to top ministers in charge of the country security. the minister of defense and the interior minister out comes of a taliban says it sees more than 40 districts in the countryside. in recent weeks, attacks on afghan forces of increase, the u. s. and nato announced plans to withdraw their troops by september. they used diplomat has warned the block could impose sanctions on those responsible for lebanon's political stalemate. us at barbara met president michelle. i want to discuss the country's worsening economic crisis. leaders have failed to form a functioning government since august. the council of the union has been including other options including targeted sanctions.

of course, we prefer not to go down the road and we hope that we will not have to do but it is in the hands of the live and his leadership for people including 3 children, have been shot and wounded at a birthday party in canada. the youngest was just a year old, they'd been taken to hospital in toronto. one of the children is said to be in a life threatening condition. police are looking for several suspects. now, one of many uncomfortable truths about race in the united states is that several native american tribes, once owned black slaves after the civil war, they were forced to end the practice and grant them full citizenship. but over the years, they stripped black tribal members of their rights, jabber thompson, ports from broken arrow, oklahoma. in broken arrow oklahoma, there lies a cemetery for creek indian 3 men,

the tribes former black slaves. it's neglected and becoming a dumping ground. yes, this is one of the benjamin when run the grayson 1st heard about it. 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 u. s. had elsewhere aren't even aware of their existence. some native american tribes long accepted black members. but in 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, so to pearman, even served as the principal chief of the creek nation between 887895. we know that american co, he was born in 1888. she is an original enrolling muskogee creek nation rome. the grayson's great grandmother, lived her whole life as a member of the muskogee creek tribe. but then in 1979, the creek past new laws decreeing that friedman were no longer tribal members. the other tribes followed friedman would lose that tribal voting rights as well as the housing health and other benefits. everyone should be outrage that this could

happen in 1979 tribes argued it was an expression of their sovereignty, an 1866 treaty with the u. s government should not be the final say on who was a member of that tribes. they should be. sovereignty is fine, 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 over turn, the new laws, sees other motivations. it's about green and it's about racism is the core of the entire issue. that said, 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 it's 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 for ptolemy 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 freedom and full rights as tribal members fioma, edward creek, all grayson's tribe. and she's determined that friedman, numbers, both living and dead, will soon be able to reclaim their identity. she ever tenancy al jazeera, broken arrow, oklahoma, dozens of families separated by the us mexico border have been given a chance to hug each other for just a few minutes. the hugs not was event reunited, family is separated by immigration status, allowing them to physically embrace and return to their side of the border. us authorities usually monitor the event,

but don't intervene. now the prize parade has returned to opponents capital after a 2 year absence. that comes at a time when l g b t q writes have become a major issue in some central european countries. a gay community still faces discrimination in poland. the president has called it more destructive than communism. its fear the government could follow hungry, which is passed a law banning content for minor scene to promote homosexuality. ah. so if a creature headlines had this, iran, conservatives offset to consolidate their grip on power off the hotline of abraham racy was declared winner friday's presidential election. the u. s. as a radians were denied, a free and fair vote. pledge to continue negotiations to say the 2015 nuclear. the saudi arabia says it's intercepted 6 more drones launched by humans who the rebels . most of them were fired towards

a city in the south west of the kingdom. saudi state media, se 17 jones have been intercepted over the past 24 hours.
