1:00 pm
new front. yeah. think about the sophistication of exploits to breaking the phone. this is fine and your phone on there i this is al jazeera ah 10100 gmc here and i'll just the ra hello one. come all santa maria. welcome to the news. now after a difficult year, i mean you hold a snap election, it couldn't being a referendum on last year as conflict with as a by john also making use israel's new prime minister with some strong words about roms, president elect, he's calling every and i see the hackman of tech from the
1:01 pm
peruvians on both sides of the recent presidential election. still not satisfied with the outcome. beth. an ethiopian trouble ticket. i region will be left out of monday's parliamentary election. for now, we ask refugees, you'd like to sit down how they feel about that. and in for germany, back on track football, european championship, often losing the 1st matches and title holders that portugal for awe. sunday afternoon in armenia right now where there's a big decision to make whether the prime minister deserves another chance after that painful defeat in the war against neighboring as a by john last year nichol passing on, he resigned back in april and announced the snap parliamentary elections hoping to renew his mandate, the reformist is up against the former president's robert champion. so exactly how
1:02 pm
to get to this point. well that loss of territory divided by john, it really hurt. passion, yann's popular support. there were people calling him a traitor. actually, despite that, this is still a type race that is possibly because his rival, robert could shoddy and faces the bribery investigation, actually dates back from his last days of president, back in 2008. when he was accused of accepting a bribe from a business woman, the election could decide the future as well of the actual cease fire deal that was struck with as the by john. the russia sees passionate as the guarantor of that piece agreement, which it helped broke up for lots to talk about. and we'll start with where we challenge reporting from yet. yvonne about 2 in the afternoon, they are hi rory. so often in elections, we end up saying this, oh, it could be a referendum on x, y as a this really is that case because that was the result of that war. i mean, it's everything, isn't it? yeah,
1:03 pm
it certainly the reason why this election is taking place is you were saying that it's supposed to be another 2 years instead of elections happen in armenia. it's because of that conflict because of the loss because of nicole passion, yann's plummet in support. he brought this forward, he wants to basically see this as a way of reaffirming his popularity and giving him another mandates to pursue the reform agenda that he has been trying to push through over the last 3 years of power. rebecca cherry and his main adverse re in this election. there are plenty of others, so it's a feel the policies and launches that stretches to about $26.00. but they're the main to rebecca cherry and i have been calling nicole actually on a traitor and has been pushing the line that he is going to be tougher. all
1:04 pm
insecurity, he's going to reassert armenia, is military strength. we'll have to wait and see, of course, what the electorate see and all of this. it's been a pretty vicious campaign with lots of nasty language being thrown around by size. and there are plenty of people in mania who was sick with a whole thing, particularly those who lost loved ones, sovereigns, brothers fathers, in the race and fighting those that i've been speaking to are basically saying that, that done with a whole thing. plenty of interest in this election from the vote. i mean, i can see plenty of people behind you. is that reflective of? well, hopefully not be a sort of voter apathy that we saw, for example, in, in iran yesterday. no that doesn't seem to be so far. yeah. we've been crossing between 2 different polling stations on opposite sides of the street. one you can see behind me in a school. so is the one that i was that on the other side of the street that yeah, it's been a constant stream of voters since 8 o'clock this morning when we arrived. and it
1:05 pm
seems from the way that the figures are being started up so far that we have a higher turn out comparatively to how it was in 2018 when union came into power formerly. so yes, it does seem to be voter interest in and how this plays out. there's also interest going on elsewhere from further afield. moscow of course is looking at what's been going on here. there are people who've been asking about whether moscow has a horse in this race. i don't think it does. i think that actually moscow would be pretty happy with either of these 2 candidates could cherry and if the traditional friend of russia, that's where the criminal has said cheney. and although he came to power with some pretty anti russian language has dropped that in office. i think he's realized that armenia is positioned in the region, and it's history basically means that if he wants to get by, it has to have
1:06 pm
a reasonably good relationship with russia. the news and the context there with a challenge. and yet, yvonne, who we will be speaking to more throughout the day. thank you, rory. and now benjamin who was young, who is the executive director of the political science association of armenia. he's also joining us and get around today. thank you for your time. benjamin. it is always a risk, isn't it? when a related decides to call a snap election and then put him or herself forward again in the, in what do you think are the chances for mr. passion? young? thank you for having me. i believe mister fuzzy and his trustee to death, the majority of all. but i don't think it will be possible for him to have more than 50 percent. the world will be difficult for him to have the ability to form a one party government credit for the case off of the december 2018 early parliamentary election. when pushing receive approximately 70 percent,
1:07 pm
the war loyal enjoy the situational majority. i don't think it is possible and my. busy assessment the the most probably we will have some sort of probably some government or maybe the 2nd around the elementary religion. because the thing for me is legislation, you know, part to receive more than 50 percent. the was, there is no coalition which will hold the minimum 54 percent of what will have the 2nd round of filament relations with participation of 1st 2 parties. so do you put all of that down to the fact? well, because of the war, basically, as we were saying to a corresponding bear, it is the reason that this snap election was cold. and it's such an emotion of reason. it means so much to people who lost loved ones in the war and her last the land. definitely the key fog, which is pretty good. crisis in armenia. in late 2021. this bizarre throws war car
1:08 pm
about war, which is the temper 27. and then the november pen and the outcomes were really do this for the for, i mean, you know, i may say that are being offered the greatest last, the last 100 there the last time or municipal for this type of defeat, 920 in the war between the republic of armenia and then came on the bow. this was a really tough blow for armenians. kesha was here. the car about liberation movement in early 1990 was one of the key pillars of armenians. identity of the soviet union club in 1991. so many points that do they just lost the key meaning of their life in last 30 years. so should leave or issue of are sorry to interrupt you. shouldn't all of that mean that the main opposition candidates should be in a better position if you are fighting? i candidate her last a war that should put you in
1:09 pm
a good position politically shoot. but in case of our media, we have the main competitor for mr. flashing on the 2nd president, the mural. the petroleum was present from 998 and called them they quoted me so quick turnaround. she had the missile legacy. yes, he was one of the leaders of the thought about liberation woman during the 990. he was one of the military come under one of the leaders of the victorious military campaign. but they look into his legacy as the president, there was a flag. there was quite the fitful economist except in armenia. armine enjoyed the double digit, the g d p growth. ready starting from 2001 of them base. but also we have a big parliamentary presidential election during court, georgia term. so we have a problem with human rights and we have the destination and armenian parliament in october, 999 when prime minister. and because all of them have been killed. ready and also
1:10 pm
we had the collision between professors and the riot police on march, 4th, 2008. during the presidential campaign. the result of this collection is 10. people have been killed all game. there are a lot of people in armenia will say yes. ready pushing on maybe not the best option . this pushing your. busy knees better than coach are down so frankly speaking armina there are no delays between good and better option. many people. busy simply really leg between the bed and war folks on those, those who will work for me for a quote or, you know, they believe that pushing on is worse and what are fuzzy now? they believe that the courts are you on the board. so again, this is elake, the for the election between abandons worse not to be good. all right. better the devil. you know, we will find out a little bit later on benjamin polk us and great to talk to you. thank you. thank you for having with on to other news and supporters of iran's new president celebrated his victory on the streets of town from the hotline at abraham and ac
1:11 pm
was declared the winner on saturday in an election marked by voter apathy and economic hardship. he won around 62 percent support or just on the half of eligible voters actually took part that low turn out underscoring many challenges ahead. when the former chief justice takes power in the asset base has a report from tech, from everyone in iran, knew the outcome with no real prominent opposition holds predicted conservative clerical brain. right? you would win. and when he did in a landslide victory, he's closest opponent receiving 14000000 few votes, right? if he 1st gained prominence amongst the 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 slammed his religious title hold rate among the
1:12 pm
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 le montessori condemned. right. you see and others on the committee for the role in the executions general. yeah. i think the worst crime against the atlantic republic and 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 race. he should be investigated for crimes against humanity. as a judicial chief, he's seen as tech and corruption,
1:13 pm
a fundamental concern for many iranians. his appointment by the supreme needed to key roles has raised other questions, some feel his presidency is 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 for us. and i'd like to offer my gratitude to the very dear honorable and vigilant people. i thanked 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, right? he says he supports it. mom be about a young man studying again. we are committed to the jcp away, as it was approved by ayatollah how many, but you can't implemented a strong governments should be in power to be able to implement. but unlike president tundra harney and the moderates who saw the dia, that's
1:14 pm
a foundation for broader discussions and relations with the west, raphael, he's can see it as a ceiling 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 right now in, while the israeli prime minister natalie bennett has described a seat when the last chance for world powers to wake up. he made those comments during the 1st meeting of his security cabinet. selection is, i would say the last chance for the world powers to wake up before returning to the nuclear agreement and to understand who they're doing business with these guys are murder, mass murderers, a regime of brutal aim and never be allowed to weapons of mass destruction that will enable it to enough to kill 1000 millions more on this one with hurry force in west jerusalem. what do you read into those comments? how are you mean to seem fairly predictable but pretty inflammatory as well?
1:15 pm
i mean, you would expect natalie bennett to say something like this. he certainly has been extremely vociferous in his opposition to the jcp iran nuclear deal and he's making those comments in english, in a cabinet meeting to his colleagues with him. he usually expected to speak, and hebrew says, obviously a clear message to the outside world. he has been coming in for a great criticism from the full of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, certainly on his way out of the door. netanyahu kept on criticizing bennett over his enough and yahoo's view inability to stand up to iran. and so again, you would expect it to be fairly hard line in his comments about racy whom he also called the butcher of tehran and saying that of all the people that jose could have chosen, he chose this man. so again, that is
1:16 pm
a fairly natural kind of response to those criticisms from that, you know, who also said that, that, but it wouldn't be able to stand up to the rate to the administration of president biden on the j. c, p. o, a. and there are reports, at least in the reading media. the senior officials believe that this election could lead to a delay in negotiations to return to that deal. and therefore potentially a window of opportunity to try and press the u. s. a bit more in favor of israel's position on the day of speaking of the u. s. harry, i believe the head of the israeli army is on his way to washington. what's the story there for the defense minister with no longer goes well indeed. i mean, this is a much delayed trip by the go harvey, the head of these really ami because of the various issues that are being in this part of the world. most notably the, the recent confrontation, the military escalation with hamas in garza. so this is something has been in the
1:17 pm
works for some time how he himself is very much a true believer in the anti j. c. p. o, a line of thinking within israel. he even got out ahead one stage after the bi administrations and duration. he got out ahead of the even of that and yahoo's and t j c p o, a language. and so he will be pressing that line as well. i, he'll be meeting the defense minister, the head of the national security agency, the head of the joint chiefs of staff in the united states. so more attempts obviously to try to persuade the bio ministration against going back into the nuclear deal with iran, or at least trying to ameliorate it in terms of israelis and position that deal also worth noting that he's just had his term extended by an extra year that's just been approved by the cabinet here on sunday. thank you for that in west jerusalem.
1:18 pm
one more note from the region, bennett's predecessor benjamin netanyahu is under pressure to actually leave the prime minister's official residence in west jerusalem. opponents are gathered outside say he should have moved out by now and the threatening to take the matter to court israel's apollo to prove natalie bennett's coalition government last week, which ended netanyahu's uninterrupted 12 year power. remember he's also on trial for corruption. 18 minutes past this news. now, here's what's coming up with. if you didn't understand before the pandemic or the small interconnected planet, we're on. sure, you must understand that. now everybody can see have you ins. now the former top humanitarian officials held out to the global pandemic as a post falls on a system. it's supposed to help projects in more than 40000000 cities against president jive both sonora after the country part is half a 1000000 reported code 900 debt. and it's for a dramatic theory in the n b,
1:19 pm
a playoff come to a climate basketball action a little bit later in the program. i got my sons president. now sha county has replaced 2 top ministers in charge of security. taliban fighters escalate their bonds to take more territory. general bas millikan mohammed the has been appointed as the new defense minister. he has previously held the defense and interior ministry positions and also serve as the chief of army staff while general of the south desire. while has been named the new interior minister, taliban says it sees more than 40 districts in recent weeks. will the new appointments come to like a time and i've kind of stun. as we say, taliban fighters are gaining ground, taking other districts and extending their control with low morale. some african forces have abandoned their posts altogether. holden,
1:20 pm
$500.00 civilians have been killed this year with a tax escalating across the country. a surge, which comes as the us and its allies, withdraw their troops that not forget, they are scheduled to be completely out of afghanistan by september. the 11th and talks between the town about in the africa and government. they are continuing here in color, but violence appears to have intensified at the same time. so we have for himself with us now security analysts, head of the international relations department at kind of done university. he's on skype from cobble, thank you for joining us today. take us through what you think about these appointments. they are very much military men at a time when. well, you tell me to the ask an army need to be stepping up what it's capable of. well, finance is contested at the moment and violence is charging and you have a different minutes. again, regularly loan out to have
1:21 pm
one he got from the suicide bomb in 2018. so i think that is one of the immediate reasons that he has been replaced with and you asking different minnesota, but it's a little logic behind just re shuffle a that when the president president rodney came to power, he tried to line them. and finally, we hired the old guard in the military and he did use new faces when particularly young faces to this to get the card back. looking at the rating situation in avalon is where the government has almost slimmed, by the time, but they have not the district. i think the policy will, did not much prove. right. and now by bringing law might be
1:22 pm
a military commander and a person with what? because enjoying the home line is done, and within the 7 elements and group. now i think that if they start to actually, boards are sorry to interrupt you, general. but mila will have almost a problem here and that he has to fight the taliban on the ground. and that's probably why he's been brought in because he's got that experience. but at the same time you've got the government trying to hold some sort of peace talks with the taliban. can you do both at the same time? i think it finally comes, approach it doing at the moment. they believe that the withdrawal of the us and that report has to be back to the back and they capitalizing on that back. you mean by the p d? i did the same time now and then also showing up in the hot
1:23 pm
hot or negotiations. so i think every, the violence, undisturbed in violence will increase. and for that the government has to recess. because if the government national security forces and do not reset the main office on that bond, fiction will increase and there will be larger vendors and confirm. 2 the government, that is why they have, they are trying to bring back the old guard into, in political as well as military influence within the elements and people and to the, to tell me about krisha. tell me if i am sorry to interrupt you again and just quickly your wider thoughts on the trip withdraw. we've known it's coming for a long time. september 11. is the date that old troops will be out. how much do you
1:24 pm
think i've got some changes after that? it depends on the political allocation resolved within the republican argument of the intention to compete. but at the same time, the military and economic assistance of the international community, it wouldn't be abundantly upon government how they withdraw. and i believe we will. we will witness a little bit before the final. but if the international community remain engaged with the time with one another, with the government and pressure in order to reship politic, are they the future the theme somehow find? but if all of these things doesn't happen, then the future is great. so set up a pleasure talking to you today from campbell,
1:25 pm
thank you for your time. welcome and get some supporters saw both of peruse, political rivals been out in huge numbers as tensions rise about this month election. the socialist contender petro castillo, who narrowly leads the official count, has claimed victory. but the right wing can to that take a flicky morris says there has been fraud and is seeking to get votes, an old body on a sanchez reports now from lima. the nearly 2 weeks after voters went to the poles, thousands of the look of your supporters marched claiming victory, his rival kiko for he. marty says the election was rigged, casting a shadow over the result. 7 0, the fool he morning has run a dirty campaign. the number show that castillo one. what else does she want? i for he murray. contests the results that these lucas, these are more than 44000. both the. 2 on saturday,

electoral officially rejected movies with quizzes to know the vote. they said there's no proof of fraud. kimori supporters claim, otherwise they had to show us the balance is the election is because they never did well in the opinion polls. and now they are feeling the election. the fraud allegations prompted a group of retired senior military officers to call the armed forces chief to reject castillo, if he's named precedent. in an open letter, they warn def, electoral officials declared him the winner. the military could intervene, press reference because i guess he condemned the statement, but i just saw people when he got the owners. i reject it. not only opposes our democratic values and institutions, but goes against the constitution, and the law of instructed the defense minister to forward it to the judiciary. so it is investigated. the analysts say some politicians are looking for any way to
1:27 pm
