ah, ah ah ah, me if you can vote in an election, overshadowed by a humanitarian crisis in the old integrated region of questions about the polar credibility. ah, i'm a very and again this is 0 life and also coming up the armenian prime minister's decision to go to the voters, pays off the coal, pushing in at his party of what a landslide victory jailed and assets. pros and cons. pro democracy, apple,

a newspaper warns that it's on the brink of closing down a little spectators will be allowed to attend the socio and they fixed by the chief medical advisor saying that 0 firms would be safest ah, therapy as prime minister is facing his 1st electoral test against the backdrop of the conflict, and the threats of famine in the northern region of to gripe or the ahmed rose to power in 2018, championing a democratic revival at a break with e. c. o. p. as authoritarian past boss. that promise is being put in doubt by the crisis in te gray and the failure to hold elections in some areas. i'll just here as i have it out as an adult about it explains some of the hurdles that many face in voting today. typically, very keen to cause the bulb, the really is by how competitive the campaigns have been. so full of $4.00 to $7.00

parties, not taking part in these elections that have been handled and the ones that will bring in a democracy you up here. but they have been dogged by all kinds of problems for legal logistics as well as questions on the legitimacy of these both give them that some parts of the country would not be working at least 3 regions are not working. and the other places where they violence, places like the single region, some of them how do we get on some parts of the region, which is the biggest in the country, most voting because of the violence which has been going on in if you appeal for most of the past 3 years, i'm led to the displacement of more than 2000000 people and then they will integrate, which is costing

a very long shadow on the election. but the mcclintic pulses stuff is i'm the way in the farm in the way the whole conflict have been handled, remains a block on the image of prime minister, be who in the leave of the month of the as office rule husband, the tribe does a piece make a man who is, was that i'm a contact credentials to tech. if you'll be out of the dictatorship, it's known for many i'll just say we have a morgan is in neighboring sedans. gotta leave states where thousands of ethiopian refugees are living. well spoken to people here over the past 2 days, and they think that the election is not a free and fair and the democratic process. they say that 1st of all, it has been delayed from the previous year to this year. and they say that the excuse of the corona virus pandemic is just an excuse that prime minister, i'd be mad and his ruling party used to push the country into suitable condition to

ensure that he will win the throne of election. now, at least 70000 people have fled to 4 different camp here and to dance. got out of state as well as neighboring cattle estates. many of them inside military condition, but they say that they want to remain here until the situation in great stabilizes . now the fact that the great region of 7000000 people have been excluded from the election is something they see as a sign that the, for the government, the, and the ruling party. seeing the great as not positive. if you can think them of not if the opium and so they say that they want to become an independent region, they say that this current election, the process that is happening right now in ethiopia, is not a process that would lead the country into stability. and to democracy, they say that if anything, because of the conflict integrity which has the millions and because of the fact that opposition figures are in jail if anything, this election would lead the country into further turmoil and further deterioration

. amelia's acting prime minister, the cold brush indian has one sunday snap parliamentary election machine in civil contract party 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 i shot last year, the indians main rival, former president robert could charlie ends. armenia alliance block is in a distant 2nd place with 21 percent outraged those till centers of armenia to fit in the war. at only 49 percent of eligible voters cost that balance. let's go live together and i'll just here's re challenge. is that what's been the reaction to virginians when what i think the reaction essentially is that this is a much bigger when than many people were expecting. certainly in the last few days of campaigning, where the final opinion polls were taken seem to suggest that passion and carrion

were basically neck and neck. now what those polls did identify was that there was a large chunk of the population that was as yet undecided about who they were going to vote for. and the outcome of this election that has given ashley and such a large mandates. what over 50 percent of the vote suggest that's when it came down to it. when people went into the voting booth in the holding stations and put a mark against the name they decided on mass to put that mark down for passion the end. so this is a big and rather unexpected win for him. he will be massively relieved and thrills that the gamble, which was a risk to call the snap elections step down from being prime minister for those elections take place. so essentially goes back to the people and asked them off of that devastating war to choose him again, that they have done so and done so in

a big way. but fewer than 50 percent of the electorate took part in the election push indians rival could surely and has alleged wrong doing in the, in the election itself. i mean it has this, this election now put to bed this issue, the anger over the peace deal, the pushing the and find the signed rather over the the war and as a by sean i don't think so. not entirely know because this is a country to fill deeply in trauma. i think what this shows is that although they haven't necessarily forgiven passion the and for the defeat in last year's war, they are prepared to give him another chance. and that is probably because they liked cherry and even less he is to many armenians, a pretty toxic figure. he, his history as the 2nd president of the country is tainted by fairly,

not the corruption and slee scandals and so for him to off the country to choose him. and for them to say, no, i think is not necessarily such a ringing, ringing, endorsement of passion yet. but it is a condemnation that rejection of cherry and what pets. nicole has also done pushing the pitch and fish shiny and as also done aids to try to make sure that the blame for that defeats last year. and the conflict has been spreads widely because he had only been in power for 3 years. he could basically say that the roots of that military defeat a far deeper stretch back than my governorship of the country. i was 0 warri children's life and the out of n, rory, many things the board in charge of hong kong pro democracy to use pay for the apple daily says that it will soon decide whether to close it down. it says the company's

assets have been frozen by authorities on the hong kong as controversial national security law, leaving it unable to pay staff or cover expenses. 2 executives have been charged on to police raids on the news from last week, or now from out here as adrian brown, his outside, that he's papers headquarters in hong kong. the paper has come a step closer to closing a board meeting has been taking place for much of monday morning where what's left to the executive team team have been discussing whether or not the paper can remain open given it's been denied access to funding. it needs to do things like pay wages and to generally keep operating it's now effect to be locked out of the banking system. and what the poor to doing is are asking the government to unlock those assets that have been frozen so they can pay stuff. they say, unless that happens by june the 26 than the apple daily will have to close. now, a final decision it seems, will be taken on friday when the board of directors of next digital will meet once

more. we heard on monday morning from mark simon. he is an advisor to jimmy ly, the buddy an activist who owns this, meet your organization. i do, of course, is now in jail. and simon said that the paper would close within days because of its funding crisis. a lot of staff are also were told, very worried about their safety. they received threatening phone calls. it is in many ways a proxy for the pro democracy movement. now, this is the 1st time that the national security law in hong kong which is imposed almost a year ago has been used against the paper because of the views and opinions that it has expressed. now the apple daily was founded by jimmy lie more than a quarter of a century ago. it is arguably the most popular newspaper in hong kong. but it is a thorn in the side, not just of hong kong government, but also of course, the communist party across the border. iran as president elect is expected to hold

his 1st youth conference shortly. conservative chief justice abraham racy who was elected on saturday will take office in august, replacing has on ro, honie. turner was the lowest and recent history race. he will take tar during a critical time is 10 from 6 to salvage. it's nuclear deal at a broken economy which has been deeply affected by us sanctions. iran state electricity company meanwhile 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 have elaborated on exactly what's gone wrong, the shap plant, which was built with help from russia. it's the 1st time an emergency of this kind has been declared that the warnings in the past that the plant could stop functioning if iran couldn't buy equipment because of us sanctions. gary sable is an expert on iran nuclear program. he explained 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 fueled by russia, so the fuel is manufactured and enriched in russia, ship to iran after the fuel is used and therefore contains port tony and then sent back to russia for disposition. so the blue shirt nuclear power plant really isn't connected in any direct way to concerns about your rival nuclear program because iran operates the facility, but they don't really provide the fuel or handles. there have been concerns 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 sufficiently since it 1st went online at 2011. coming up after the weather. next on i was 0. italy's government office, people cash to have more children. we're hoping for 50000 photographs. we got over half a 1000000 and we meet the citizens. scientists to help track billions of the canvas, which emerged from emerged from a 17 year underground slumber. ah hello was say it's a very heavy rain into we're all northern parts of southeast asia. so really we're

talking around thailand, gulf latan, this little clutch of storms here, burleson very heavy rain into that to east side of title associated with the south westley monsoon. those showers will continue to just ease their way across cambodia, south vietnam, seeing some heavy showers, quite a ration showers the into the philippines. malaysia, once again seeing some lobby shares and show us was still unusually wet for indonesia more the same as we go on into the middle part of the week. and we got some unusually wet weather, also making his way across southern parts of australia went to celsius. of course, we have got some rather wintry weather on the way here as well. quite a nasty, little low, making his way across the bites. we'll see some wet weather just rattling through southern parts of w way in to south australia winds could be picking up to around 90 kilometers per hour. so the potential for damaging winds that will be some heavy rain as well.

further east is not too bad. we've seen temperatures around 800 celsius. therefore sydney must see one or 2 shells just around the gold coast up towards brisbin $22.00 celsius. therefore, brisbin sunshine, his showers for new zealand, the weather bag, energy and change to every part of our universe. more small to continue the change all around the shape by technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your bill. ah

the ah hello again. this is l 0 the main years. this voting and crucial parliamentary election. its prime minister of its 1st electoral test, he's under increasing pressure the humanitarian crisis, a little them to try to reach armine as prime. it says want to sunday snap elementary election. nicole, pish, indians party got really 54 percent of the vote. is made. vice president roberts could sharia is in a distant 2nd place with 21 percent of the board in charge of hong kong is pro democracy newspaper. the apple daly says it will soon decide whether to close it out. the company says that authorities of frozen international some breaking news from sweden, where parliament has just posted to our prime minister stuff on love, run in and know confidence motion. the social democrat leader now has

a week to either resign or call a snap election. the right wing suite and democrats called the no confidence vote last week after the government lost its left party support in parliament with no one commanding a clear majority in opinion polls. it's unclear if an election could break the deadlock, me so let me pick organizers have announced that they want to allow up to $10000.00 fans to attend each event next month. tokyo games. the plan, which would see no more than half of seats filled at venues, is still being discussed with the international limpid committee. last week, japan's top medical adviser said that 0 spectators would be the safest option for the lympics already delayed by a year. due to the pandemic, let's go live out of tokyo. i'll just hear a study sullivan is with us. so for the fans will be local fans will be allowed to attend the olympic games. yes,

they will be allowed, but not all of them order. the quarter 1000000 200000 tickets have been sold. but with the new guideline scabbing, the number of spectators 210000 each venue a daily. that means less, the less people who got that tickets are being, are going to be allowed to attend. and just a few minutes ago in the press conference by take us through the head of the talk, you wouldn't be organizing committee. they mentioned that they're going to hold the notary to choose who is going to be allowed to attend this event. and they are also in the process of determining about $80000.00. i'm sorry, 800000 tickets to spectators who would exceed the limits that they have fit to. now also within this week, the organizing committee is going to publish

a guide book guidelines for the spectator them. so they're going doing to include rules on how to move and transport between their homes or lodging locations to the venues, and also a guidelines on their behavior the way they should act inside the venue while they're there. and we know that they're all going to be off to mosque. that's all fine. but still there are lots of concerns about the decision by the committee to cab. the numbers are 10000. that is much shorty. now off for pretty bound of the cases increased in the infectious disease in the country and especially that it's already off the body and delta of the virus. but then again, also it seems that the committee they haven't listened very carefully to what the thought by the visor for the government. she gave me who by the government and

organized committee and not to allow spectators, that's all. so they half listen to him. but they also said that in case of any rebound in the number of infections or a major change in the situation, they may be more limits on the numbers on maybe come from the expectations are allowing the expectations to attend. they've been so they've been told civilities as it seems, and they're putting they are watching very carefully this tuition. sorry many thanks to the funny. so let me dive in, took care. a mass vaccination drive is starting out a small island near rio de janeiro. most of the residents of catch up are expected to be fully inoculated and around 2 months, when a younger kid explains why this is part of a bigger brazilian study. just 15 kilometers off the shores of rio

diginero lace bucket on an island of tranquillity. where time seems to have to do with its colonial buildings in know, card. he used to be a favorite spot for tours. not anymore. i had thought we were going to hit with the pandemic. the number of fairies going back and forth from the island has been reduced most here, live off tourism, which is taking a severe blow you stuck with. this will hopefully change the next couple of months when back it will become brazil's 1st totally vaccinated island on sunday, the entire population over 18 years old, 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, the mid bucket that was chosen as part of a pioneer study on the effects of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, which is being produced in real by brazil, leading feel who is institute researchers. juliana?

i heard the math was so the idea is to measure how effective math explanation is in stopping the virus from spreading surgeon what she respect your file. michael, when you guys you, 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 $7000000.00 people living across the bay in rio . we also have a strong family health system here with a lot of information on all residents. soft geographically, small area which makes vaccinating everybody simpler. it takes around 40 to 15 minutes, riding a rig shot on this 8 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 packet 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 does a frivolous besides, this is not the moment to party, i mean 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 thus 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 is dropped by nearly 400000 since the pandemic began. 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. does i'm rainy reports now from room by italian standards. sahara maloney might be said to have a big family, 13 month old and that is her 2nd child a problem. but his 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 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 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 cash 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 absolutely just 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 the democratic party, how political leaders can convince italians of the need to take more non italians into the country. you've also got, 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. and 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 fueled 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. adam rainy al jazeera rome. julius president says that the assembly drastic a new constitutional hold. it's 1st session early, next month, chillies replacing its misery era charter in response to mass protests that began in 2019 it's been still due to sonata eula. 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 an incredibly and with broad citizen participation. this

represents 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, who charged with sedition and incitement. they're accused of conspiring with the king's half brother to ferment on rest against the monarch, prince hamza who was placed on the house arrest and early april isn't facing charges. no ways football federation has voted against boy costing the 2022 fif a world cup and cut off some football fans pushed for it. in response to allegations that kathy has been exploiting it's migrant workers, though, has faced criticism for migrant workers living and working conditions, especially those involved in the construction of stadiums. that catalog government says that it's done more than any country in the region to improve their lives. after the vote on the weekend, football official said that a boy called would have been a mistake. in the blue, the executive committee of the football association believes that

a boy caught us the same is turning its back on cut off and its challenges and the denying itself the opportunity to commit to improvements to me on this after emerging from the ground. billions of so called periodical cekada is reaching the end of their life cycle in east, in the us. they stay underground 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 think ada 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 life cycle. 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. cicada seal our best expectations. we were hoping 450000 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 crowd sourcing event ever done for periodical skaters. when your picture is pending, it's in black and white, and as it's been approved, it comes up in color. we've taken over 2000 pictures and about 1900 have been improved so far. about right. we'll be able to use these points to, to determine where the brute emerged is, could help us build them 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. so 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 them. it's easy to have people become involved in science. when you make it fun like this, ah, it is good to have with us. hello, adrian. finding a hearing though, how the headlines and how to 0 ethiopians, a boating, and a crucial parliamentary election. its prime minister, i'll be on that 1st electoral test. he's on the increasing pressure for the humanitarian crisis and little bit to dry region mom. it out reports now from either side of the is the elections, the prime minister is facing the electric re.
