apple newspaper warns that it's on the brink of closing down. we're hoping 450000 photographs that we got over half a 1000000 and we meet the citizen scientists who helped to try and billions of cars that emerged from a 17 year underground slum ah, private assess, facing his 1st electoral test against the backdrop of conflict. and the threats of famine in the northern region of to gripe. i'll be ahmed, rose to power in 2018, championing a democratic revival, and a break with ethiopia as authoritarian past. but that promise is being put in doubt by the crisis and to gray. and the failure to hold elections in some areas, i'm just here is my habit otto, is it a polling station in at is out of the he joins us now live, suppose are open mom and how busy is it it

while every and voting how 2nd or false move forth in most parts of the country where the voltage is taking place. there are about 37000000 people who are just start to vote, which is for the record, and in addis ababa in most pulling sessions. we have observed long queues outside the electoral completion of increase the number of pulling sessions for different prism and the main one to prevent the spread of covet 19 but also to face them. the process because of the big number of people who are registered to vote. these are the elections, the prime minister is facing, the electorate is really key to get a popular mandates to continue with. he's political reforms in europe, these party se, se, but these are elections that have been dog by legal,

logistical, and legitimacy issues that are taking place in at least 3 region in the country. they are the how to region the highest in the country. the somali regional he's been up here and the guy regional law sunday, if you appear where conflict is going on between federal forces on fighters, are loyal to the ticket, the people's liberation front, which is the fact that used to administer the ticket region. but the also been political parties about participating in the elections, boy holding the elections and some of the key states like a said off parliament settings, and if you can get elected so. so many issues and government officials are saying this is a just the last step. if you have a 2nd to or the booklet, the facing many years of rule by strong men, there things it should be taken in that light to be taken as

a country that is now embracing democracy and as a logistical issues to be expected. all right, so, so to what extent is that the 2 great conflict and the other conflict regions of the country playing into this election as far as the rest of the country is concerned? yes indeed, guy is going to cost a very long shadow over the destruction of prime minister, be for quite a long time with the way the conflict there have been managed with diploma saying that the ease and an official thought well say that the many people are going hungry in that, that it would sort of in suggesting up to 340000 people in the, to great region living in palm in like condition. so it's not a great picture of the fact that they are not conducting the elections in ticket. i

also is another issue altogether, but the official officials of the ruling prosperity party say to guy get elect about 5 to 7 members of parliament and, but it's not enough to cast any doubts on who might want the election. so they're saying they will come to elections in figure out the set them point, but it's also violence in other parts of the country, ethnic violence. we just walked in here for most of the past 3 years and led to the displacement of more than 2000000 people in various parts of the country that has caused to also some of the elections. some of the polling to be postponed in some of the regions where the violence has affected more serious my habit at reporting that from edison have of them i have had many thanks. indeed armenia is

acting. prime minister nicole push indian has one sunday snap parliamentary election, but indian civil contract policy took nearly 54 percent of the vote. he called the early pole to ease public anger over a peace deal he signed to end the war with as by john last year. the machine's main rival, the former president robert carrion's armenia alliance blog, is in a distant 2nd place with 21 percent outrage still sim. as though about armine is defeating the war at only 49 percent of eligible voters cost balance, re challenge reports now from the capital van. coming in, acting prime minister, nicole passion, the unclaimed victory. change over to the people of our mania gave our civil contract party a mandate to leave the country and personally me to lead the country as prime minister. but my god, we already know that we want a convincing victory in the elections and we will have a convincing majority in parliament. passion,

yann's main rival is form of precedence. robert carried him. his armenia alliance block is contesting the count, saying there were hundreds of voting irregularities, raving the searing heat to come and vote. people told us that hope for an ends to armenia as current miseries organ i expect on any is able to overcome this temporary crisis with a good governance will be able to guarantee development, avail, country, politically and economically. yes, it's. i'm going to vote with the dream to see my armenia safe and unified with care about. i hope for the best future for my country. with official turn out and not quite 50 percent. it seems the war or the campaigning has turned many armenians off politics. both main arrivals try to convince that their competitor is worse. and that is why we have this aggressive abusive language

from both sides. now. so, and if you will talk to our citizens, you will see that they are just judging what will be the least harm for the future of armenia. nicole passion yan is already calling on his supporters to campus later in the day on monday in this square. if they are a similar move from her cherry and supportive than the chance of st. clashes increase will reach helen's out 0 year event advise at hong kong is jailed media tycoon. jimmy life says the pro democracy newspaper apple daily will be forced to shot in a matter of days, the company's assets have reportedly been frozen by authorities under the territories controversial national security law. it comes days after police rated apple daily news room. the paper is still on the news fans, but isn't able to access cash to cover, it's expensive. so let's go live that a hong kong 0 is. adrian found his death adrian with its found in prison and its

assets frozen. was it only a matter of time for the newspaper? at the close? 3? yes. adrian, amid the monsoons down poor here in hong kong, i me thing is now taking place in the pool room inside the office behind the next media evolving was left of the executive of apple dating, who yet to be detained. before we heard on monday morning from like an i called mark simon, he's a key advisor to be the owner of next media. and he told reuters an interview that the paper property had said to go before it had to close the public about the apple daily has had all its assets frozen because access cash to pay it stop being effectively locked out of the banking system. so it's all but impossible for the whole day to continue functioning is also some concern over the safety of staff

receiving threatening calls. we spoke to some of those journalists arriving early on monday morning. they said they weren't surprised to hear that paper might soon close for they were determined to carry on working for as long as possible. the apple date is in many ways, a proxy has become a proxy for the former pro democracy movement here in hong kong. on friday, adrian, the newspaper which normally prints about $80000.00 copies of de opted, print run to more than 500000. now that followed the arrest on thursday of 5 of its top executives as well as the editor in chief, ryan law law. and another official. we're both charged under the new national security law, appearing in court in hong kong on saturday. they've been denied by lining up in a further sign. adrian, just as a footnote here, the way things are going in hong kong right now,

the organizes the traditional july, the 3rd protest march here in hong kong. and they won't be applying for an application to hold them on july. the 1st that hasn't happened in more than 2 decades. what is the last, you know, if apple does close, what will that mean for the pro democracy movement? and of course, the press freedoms in hong kong school age and it's not just the apple daily that has been feeding the squeeze the local broadcast off the h k model very much on the b. b. c is also finding itself on a much tighter lease. now there have been many resignations there. there have been many, far in the basically the funding receipts and the government has been slowly reduced to during the past couple of years. and morales is very low program. so if suddenly being faxed programs from physical or the government or even lamb food, the government, the south china morning post,

which is sort of the paper of record here and that is still going. it is still breaking important stories. i think it's fair to say that the, the area of press freedom in home is getting narrower and narrower. living in the desert a very and i can tell you with it not having rain for months. the sound of the, the monsoon. rain on your umbrella is beautiful. adrian brown, in the middle of it down for the fly for us in hong kong. many thanks, adrian. and we'll get a weather update next here on. i'll just 0 days of electricity shortages in iran after it's only nuclear power plant is actually shut down. we'll tell you more after the break at its somebody's government office, people cash to have more children. ah

hello nessie. you hear of whether story across europe as we head toward monday, it's going to be white as far north as scandinavia rate down to the south as we head toward the iberian peninsula. but let's go into an area right now. i think we'll see some pretty intense rain as we head toward the northwest of france into the low countries and the winds will be coming out a pretty good clip to looking for. gusts about 50 kilometers per hour. now the weather is starting to move further to the east spots. so as the heat look at these temperature is build this 32 at the end at 33 right into the bulk in belgrade, 35. and because of this high heat at the atmosphere will be conducive to seen some storms here. now for turkey, we've got a batch of what, whether toward the north extending toward the south in $58.00, a bit of sunshine will be picking through, for example, at $26.00 degrees after africa right now. and you know, morocco rebut temperatures. here are a bit below average at 22, but look at the high heat as we had towards nicea and libya, tunis, 41, tripoli,

43. both of these places are good 10 degrees above where they should be. as we look toward the gulf of guinea bouts of what weather is southern nigeria gonna the ivory coast rate through to sierra, the on so free town a hive. 27. the frank assessments, schools and shelters have been reduced to rubble. how do you think the shapes a generation and their politics in their life has been shipped? why vitamin them inside story on jazeera india has been devastated by the covey. 19 pandemic. the one on 18th makes the front line work risking their lives to treat the stick. and very the day when i was 0, ah,

ah, ah, the me again, this is i was here are the main us. this is supposing a crucial ton of entry elections. it's prime minister. that's 1st electrical test. he's on the increasing pressure, the humanitarian crisis, and little them to guy region on manias, private it says, want to sunday snap parliamentary election. nicole fish indians party got nearly 54 percent of the vote is made rival, the former president's roberts carrion is in a distant 2nd place with 21 percent. at an advisor, a hong kong is jail media tycoon. jimmy ly says the pro democracy newspaper apple daily will be forced to shop. in a matter of days, authorities proportionately frozen the company's assets. iran's state electricity

company says that people can expect power outages for up to 4 days after it's only nuclear power plant was put into emergency shut down. officials haven't yet elaborated on exactly what's going wrong at the bush plant, which was built with the help of russia. it's the 1st time at emergency this car has been declared that the warnings in the past, the plant could stopped functioning if iran couldn't buy equipment. because of us sanctions cut out haul, it has been announced in the news and you might have had to the nuclear share of power has been subject to an emergency shut down, which will last for 3 to 4 days. when you lose a 1000 megawatts of your plants capacity, the likelihood of blackouts will rise very same or as an expert on iran simply a program. he explain more about russia's role in the plants construction and operation. it's entirely a foreign facility. so the plan was originally started by a german company before the iranian revolution and was partly finished at the time

the shot was removed. then germany refused to continue building the plant after the revolution and russia stepped in and the plant was finished about 2011. the plant is entirely fuel by russia, so the fuel is manufactured and enriched in russia, ship to iran after the fuel is used and therefore contains tony and then set back to russia for disposition. so the brochure nuclear power plant really isn't connected in any direct way to concerns about your ra nuclear program, because iran operates the facility, but they don't really provide the fuel or handled expense. there have been concern expressed about the safety of the facility because it's such a curious hybrid, a partially german facility, finished with rush and technology. but so far there have been no safety incidents

that have taken place in the plan has operated more or less efficiently since it 1st went online at 2011 and indiana diplomats involved in talks to revive the iran nuclear deal. say that the heading back to the capitals to prepare for what could be a final round of negotiations. they've been trying since april to bring the us back into the pact to get iran to once again comply with the conditions while several sticking points remain. all sides say that they're closer to the end. kristen salumi reports for washington. the key issues seemed to be the lifting of sanctions that were imposed by the united states. when president donald trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement, the iranians went into these talk saying that they would not go back to full compliance with the deal until the sanctions were completely lifted. and national security advisor for the united states, jake sullivan is saying that the united states does retain the right to impose

unilateral sanctions on non nuclear issues like human rights abuses or ballistic missile issues. we know that missiles while not covered under the original nuclear agreement are a concern for the united states. but still sullivan is saying that the united states focus is on containing around nuclear program. what i would say is that there is still a fair distance to travel on some of the key issues, including on sanctions and the nuclear commitments that iran has to make. but the arrow has been pointed in the right direction in terms of the work that's getting done in vienna. so we will see if the iranian negotiators come to the next round of talks prepared to make the hard choices that they have to make. in order for the joint comprehensive plan of action, the iran nuclear deal to be reinstated, and sullivan downplayed the importance of the election of abraham. right. he said

to the presidency in iran, the hard liners saying that ultimately it will be the i a toll of the supreme leader who will call the shots and make the decisions when it comes to whether or not to return to the nuclear deal. he did say that the us believes that diplomacy is the best way forward, not military conflict. in a small island off the coast of brazil has just started a mass vaccination drive. most of the residents have per quarter are expected to be fully inoculated, and around 2 months, i'll just serious monica yanna. kiev explains why this is part of a bigger study. just 15 kilometers off the shores of rio, diginero lace packet done in the island of tranquillity. where time seems to have to do with its colonial buildings in know, cars used to be a favorite spot for tours, not anymore. why don't we forget, what,

with the pandemic, the number of fairies going back and forth from the island has been reduced most here live off terrorism, which has taken a severe blow your socks. and this will hopefully change the next couple of months when by get that will become brazil's 1st totally vaccinated island on sunday, the entire population over 18 or so i received the 1st dose of the corona virus vaccine, brazil's health minister, my cell, kid aga, promised that 8 weeks later, bill received the 2nd one in the mid bucket that was chosen as part of a pioneer study on the effect of the oxford astrazeneca vaccines, which is being produced in real by brazil's leading field. who is institute researchers. juliana, i hold the jan mathus says the idea is to measure how effective math explanation has been stopping the virus from spreading charge. and what she respect your biomedical when we chose pockets because it's

a very stable community. it's an island. so there's less human interaction. contrary to what happens among the 7000000 people living across the bay in rio, they also have a strong family health system. here with a lot of information on all residents, soft or a geographically small area which makes vaccinating everybody's simpler. it takes around 40 to 15 minutes, riding a rig. shaw on this a kilometer dirt road to go around the whole island fucking around. 4500 people live here and they all know each other rios me are said. the experiment would allow the island to celebrate its famous carnival in september, while the rest of the country is to waiting to see if there will even be one next year. what package does residents are not keen on the idea? no, there's no way we can do this having a test event to see how well mass vaccination works is one thing. having

a carnival is totally different. we cannot control how's the frivolous besides, this is not the moment to party. i mean, brazil has just reached the milestone of 500000 debts by over 1900. 84 year old man said his mortar says she's hopeful, but doesn't think the pandemic will be over any time soon. not even for beckett that's fully vaccinated population. she says she'd rather wait to see what happens to the rest of brazil and the world in dance alone in her paradise island. monica, and i'll just 0 bucket. italy's population has dropped by nearly 400000 since the start of the pandemic. so the government is offering cash benefits to families hoping to encourage them to have more children, but not everyone's convinced that that's going to be enough. adam rainy reports from room by italian standards, sahara maloney might be said to have a big family,

13 month old and that is her 2nd child. lemme study the suicide problem is that my husband and i have had unsteady work for 14 years. the decision to have a 2nd child came late only after we both got a steady job. we have relied on our parents to help us pay for the house and take care of the children. postponing a family is common here. birth had been declining since the 2008 crisis. italy has the world's 2nd oldest population, and it is shrinking to last year. it fell by more than 380000 people. that was due to a historically high death rate with the pandemic. and a historically low birth rate. italy's fertility rate is $1.00 children for each woman. the government is trying to boost birth rates with a new family plan, a major infusion of direct cache payments that increase with the number of children

a family has. demographers, elena and bro, set the says the family plan is a good start, but any increase in the birth rate can take decades. there are more immediate steps . italy could take now. immigration can be a solution, software for aging population because we have an injection of young people working in the working age population. but immigration is a thorny issue in italy. we asked a member of parliament from the center left democratic party. how political leaders can convince italians of the need to take more non italian into the country. you also got a lot which i can explain all i want to italians at a certain level of immigration helps italian society. but as long as they keep saying immigrants big for handouts on the street, i won't convince anybody we need to integrate them into italian society and need help from europe. with the pandemic eating and summer temperatures rising, there's been an increase in the number of migrants crossing the mediterranean and

landing in italy, that's only further fuel the anti immigrant sentiments, divided over immigration. italy will rely then on mothers like sahara to choose to have multiple children. a choice many italian women are unwilling to make. adarine al jazeera rome. chili's president says that the assembly drafting a new constitution will hold its 1st session early next month. she lives replacing its ministry, ilit era charter in response to mass protests that began in 2019. it's been still going to do so now you lula. this constitutional convention is undoubtedly going to be a historic milestone. good, i think because it's the 1st time in our history, we will be writing a new constitution for like an incredibly, and with broad citizen participation. disarray presents not only a great opportunity, but above all, a huge responsibility. a trial is begun for a relative of jordan's king abdullah, a former chief of the royal court,

the east and us, they stand the ground for 17 years before coming up. and when they do, it's a huge scientific event. we spoke to catherine riley and her daughter who are among citizen scientists who've been tracking this because with a phone up and more uploader they cicada safari app is pretty easy to use. the 1st thing you see is a leader board and then you can go through and learn all about cicada and the approval process for photos in the lifecycle. you take a picture just like this and then upload. and every picture is verified by a scientist volunteer in the program to verify that it is this brewed x, the k. to see our best expectations,

we were hoping for 50000 photographs. we got over half a 1000000 our highest day was 37000 photographs and one day got a lot of data. it's the largest crowdsourcing event ever done for article skaters. when your picture is pending, its in black and white and as its been approved, it comes up in color. we've taken over 2000 pictures and about 1900 have been improved so far about right. will be able to use these points to, to determine where the brute emerged. it could help us to fill in the gaps that the past. we would not be able to do some people and take pictures all. and that's giving us an interesting record, because now we can actually look at all their photos from the 1st one of the last, or we can actually see a progression of what happened in the emerges in one location. oh, this i see. and then down here,

look under the am it's easy to have people become involved in science. when you make it fun like this. fortune speakers in south africa. i've been disappointed discover a hoped diamond boom has turned to bust. identify gems found a field in quasi in a towel province last week. rumors spread avenue diamond mine, but it turns out the stones, i just caught, ah, a check on the top stories here on our 0 a c o p. and suppose a crucial parliamentary election. its prime minister abbey elements. first electoral test, he's on the increasing pressure for the humanitarian crisis, the middle them to grow region habit, ada reports from addis ababa. these are the elections, the prime minister is facing.
