can tell a story without uttering a single word, the convention of life. witness through the lens of the human eye. on our era, we understand the differences of cultures, the cost, to what movie news and current does that matter to you? the the polls, the closing in ethiopia as long awaited general election under the shadow of conflict and deep division. ah. hello again on kim all santa maria here in doug. this is the world news from al jazeera iran present to abraham lacy lays out his foreign policy priorities immediately rolling out any meeting with us president joe biden. also the armenian prime minister decision to go to the poll, pays off. nicole passion, young,

and it's funny. i want a landslide victory, and once made headlines for the worst covey the 19 operates in the world. not india is going to great names to make sure people get their vaccination. ah. so the polls are closing in ethiopia, where people have been casting ballots in a general election that has seen a 10 month delay due to the pandemic. and there have still been issues with mondays, boat, millions of ethiopian were excluded from voting this round because of balanced problems . and because of insecurity in the country, there is the shadow as well of regional tension. the northern to gray region, for example, would remains at war with the national army and is now suffering as well from a wide spread famine. and ethiopia, still dealing with a long standing dispute with sudan and egypt over its hydro, electric dam on the blue nile. this is the 1st big electro test for prime minister

abbey. i had since he came to power in 2018. there are more than 40 political parties running, but his prosperity party is expected to win. well, the m o and adobe sent us this update from a polling station in a sample. there was a long keels in the capitol at the top, about several other cities across the country. people had started gathering some of these pulling sessions as early as 4 in the morning. these are very crucial elections. european. they see us the 1st step towards the monetizing country on the once the entire world to see it just not a walk in progress, not just great region which is where a 7 month long conflict is going on before that gets in fighting with a t p fight, this is the form of ruling patty of the region in the north, but also there are places in the you, some part of the country,

like how to the tiniest of the federal state of the piano. so the somali region next to 100, well, voltage has been postponed until september for what the electoral board calls logistical rhythms. they also pockets of the region on a hot region as well as in the shingle where some conflict with his where a tribal violence hung up on well, for security reasons, the elections have been post phone. so it's about a 5th of the 547 constituencies in if you are not working with the rest of the country today. well, early the night of nations, human rights chief said that she is deeply disturbed by the situation particularly neat. europe is, take thy region, the conflict between the national army and the tech guy, and people's liberation from the t. p l. f. is now into an 8 month tpl. i've

actually dominated ethiopian politics the nearly 30 years until i b into power. in 2018, he ordered a military operation against the group in today in november after he said it attacked army bases, the t p l f, as it was unfairly targeted itself to guy opposition. party say more than 50000 people have been killed while the un at the number of more than 350000 people fighting the risk of famine. if a morgan not reporting from gathering state over the border in sudan with thousands of e t o p and refugees, now they've monday is voting day. and if you appear in the countries 6 parliamentary election, but for 70000 refugees who fled from the northern region to come here in sudan including this camp of cuba incidence got out of state. it's just another day. now conflicts thought that integrate between the regional figured people's liberation front and the federal government in early november last year and has displaced more than 2000000 according to the united nation. more than 350000 people are in need of

aid on our facing famine. while more than 5000000 are facing food insecurity and in need of 8 for survival. now the region of p great will not be voting in the elections, and that is not something that has been decided by the people of degree. rather, it was decided by the federal government which says that the insecurity integrate will not allow for voting to take place. it is worth noting, however, that the region of degree held its own votes in september last year, and that was not recognized by the federal government. it was one of the factors that led to the conflict in november. people who we spoke to here to hear though, views on the election, say they don't think that the process will lead to stability. and if they say that with conflict ongoing, not just in figures, but other parts of the country, as well as the dissension of major opposition, figures who was top contenders against prime minister and his ruling prosperity policy in jail. they believe that conditions were created to make sure that prime minister and his ruling prosperity party when

a 2nd term. they also say that the fact that the grants are excluded shows that if the opium soon regards to gray as part of the country. so people, he said that they believe that the process that is ongoing and if you appear will not lead to stability or security. they say that if anything it would lead to further conflict and insecurity, especially in the region of degree on to other knew the ran, the president elect says, all nations that signed the 2015 nuclear deal must return to the agreements. remember former us president donald trump pulled us out of the deal in 2018. now in his 1st news conferences, winning fridays election, abraham ra, a c has also ruled out a meeting with dr. ivan that field sector cottage. you don't call him cat. our interaction with all countries will be balanced, any negotiation that is going to be the benefit of our nation will be supported. but negotiations should have an achievement for the great nation of iran. and it's people who call your home care al stances that all signatory should return to the

2015 agreement and abide by their commitments. we are asking the europeans not to be pressured or influenced by the americans. our people want their rights to be revived. del strawberry following developments for us from tetra. i think at this point he's laying out very early on that he's having his bats in case this nuclear deal. does it happen? he doesn't want to be responsible or accountable for that. i think he's playing it very, very safe. he say there are a lot of other issues that name he also made reference to around relationship with regional powers, including salary arabia and the ongoing war. yes'm. and he said that those issues are something the readings are willing to move forward on, including the fact that iran does not have any issues with saudi arabia, that they are willing to sit down with them and reestablish ties. that is something that the previous administration has also hinted at in terms of yemen. he mentioned the fact that they've solution for the war in that country needs to come from the

many people themselves. but when it came to the nuclear deal, which dominated most of the questions from for media at his 1st press conference, he was adamant that this is a ongoing issue that iran is willing to go back to its original commitment. if the united states returns to the deal and lift the sanctions, he said as long as there was a benefit for the radian nation there, he will, he doesn't see any issues with honoring this agreement. of course this comes at a critical time because there is a lot of speculation about what this new government will take office in august will do in terms of the nuclear deal. but there is a push from vienna now that there needs to be some kind of resolution soon. these talks cannot be ongoing indefinitely. and our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit on how washington reacted to races when. well in some ways, whitehouse is probably relieved, given the fact at least now there is an outcome in terms of these elections. there has been sort of a collective holding of breath waiting for that because it really was impossible to

move forward until they knew who specifically they were dealing with moving forward . so now there is resolution on that, but the hard work begins because iran has made it no secret what it's looking for. and that is lifting of those extremely punishing sanctions. and that is something that the united states up until now has not been prepared to do. having said that, the united states, as part of trying to revive this deal with 2015 agreement to live in a rise nuclear program, that the truck administration, the previous administration, withdrew from there have been signs of good faith. but it appears that that has not been enough. for example, there has been a quiet lifting of some sanctions that affect businesses as well as certain individuals. the state department saying this is because those businesses or individuals were in compliance with us federal laws and understandings. and so as a result those were lifted. but that did not sit well with some house,

congressional republicans for now calling for oversight, accusing the white house of acting without congressional authority. so there are complicated issues here in the united states for joe biden, moving forward. the big concern for ron is that there has to be some trust shown by the united states. how does iran know that the united states in the success of government after the buying that made destruction may live up or may not live up to its words as we saw with the trump administration? well, armenia is acting that prime minister, nicole passion. yon has one sundays snapped parliamentary election. his civil contract party took many 54 percent of the vote. remember, it was passing on himself the cold, this pole to ease public anger about the peace deal he signed without the by john 2 in the war last year. by chance men rival, the former president robert custodians. armenia alliance block is in 2nd, but way behind only 21 percent. it's still so much outrage about media defeat in

the war. only 49 percent of eligible voters actually cast their ballot for up to yet of and to talk to re challenge what's going on behind you tonight, rory, while the crowds building in republic square in central yet. this is the victory rally that nicole passion has call to set up. right. he's bigger than expected way . and i have to say, yes, he was the favorite going into this. but in the last days of the campaign, the polls had really tightened. putting him at his main arrival, robert cherry, i'm pretty much, neck and neck. now, what does it mean that he has scored a bigger than expected victory? and what does that mean? that the turn out was a pretty lackluster 50 percent. so just below, well, i think it says a couple of different things. one thing is that there was a big portion of undecided voters who, when it came down to it and they got into the voting booth and they were choosing

what candidate you were going to go for. they ended up largely going for nicole passion, and i'm not, i think it's broadly because although yes, there is still a huge amount of anger in this country because of last year's war, many people traumatized. many people grieving at many people, blaming nicole oppression for them. a lot of people felt despite that, despite this prime minister's big floors, he's not a perfect candidate by any means. his rival needs worse than his rival, rebecca cherry and has a history that is when he was the 2nd president of armenia associated with corruption, with a system of patronage. and i'm much more harry installed a government. they didn't want to go back back to that bus, that lat cluster, turn out suggest that there is also a great many people in armenia because of the war because of this campaign and the child associated with it had been turned off in politics completely for the vote

was really about the war as you say, what is pushing and say about where he wants to take mania. now actually looking forward. well i think the both candidates were saying that they are going to rebuild the strength from the reputation of armenia box. robert katrina contrarian was essentially a much more bellicose candidates, much more the sort of strong mind image and wanted to suggest that he could perhaps take back territory that was lost by armenia in the war last year. if he had succeeded, would have put the cease fire and the peace treaty that was broken by russia in jeopardy. so i think there are many people in the region and in capitals like ankara in back, who and in moscow who have been though for moscow at least robert cherry and was

traditionally there, man, i think they will be happy. this. the nicole passion has won this because he is the guarantor of that. he's still one of them. anyway. i don't think he is more committed to it. sorry. certainly for moscow, which is invested quite heavily in it's got peacekeepers on the ground and going to come back. although the cold passion on what he came to pass 3 years ago came in to face with some point and the russian empty kremlin rhetoric that has fallen away in the last 3 years. and certainly for the most part perspective, when it comes down to it, i think they'll be happy that that pressure on his one. thank you very challenge. and yet, yvonne the european union, the u. s. the u. k. candidate, they have all extended the sanctions against pillars. there freezing the assets of dozens of allies of president alexander, look shanker and are also hitting them with travel bands. they've targeted or accused of election fraud and involvement in subsequent correct on. on protests
