the ballad boxes were tampered with the sof were attacked from addis ababa. he is mohammed the doe. there were long queues of waters in most pulling centers in several cities across europe, including in the capital, addis ababa. some of the voters started queueing us las for a m local time. and the electoral commission had increase the number of pulling stations across the country to avoid large crowds from gathering at pulling centers to reduce the risk of spreading covered 19, but also to haste and the voting process. it is the 1st electro test for 44 year old prime minister who rose to power in 2018, championing democratic revival in africa, 2nd most populous country, and a break from it's of the city and past, totaling other things. a common oddly so far, but i just wish the process was a little faster than it is, and we hope this election will bring peace and unit as far as i will, than anything. i will vote for

a party which i think will bring peace to our country, and i finalized my decision on who to vote for. there were delays in some pulling stations though they threw up in national electoral board, sees about a dozen pulling stations opened late due to officials arriving late. voting was extended in some pulling stations to allow water cut. the polyps, the prime ministers, nearly formed prosperity parties. the front run up by a considerable margin in a crowded field of candidates, mostly from smaller, ethnically based parties. more than 40 parties are filled with candidates, but the most originally based, some opposition parties are boycotting the volt in the battleground state of romeo opposition parties have been courted the elections, citing intimidation and imprisonment of some of their leaders and supporters. some opposition leaders have however endorsed the process, calling it's somewhat credible. my expectation is that it would hopefully was minor

difficulties would be good to know creative, awake and difficult. that's why the way i hope things are watching very closely up to now. the turn out seems to be good. people are out in the numbers. that's a good thing. that's a good science fight. been billed as a nationwide called the elections are not 2nd place in one 5th of the countries. 547, because it was these elections in the somali on how to region for this study. you will post for me until september for what the electoral board called logistical reason. elections, also not taking place in the region of north and if you up here most of the delayed volt scheduled for 6 september, but no death has been set yet for a vote. in the fall, something monitored by observers from the african union, as well as the number of european groups. but the european union did not send a team blaming if you appear for failing to guarantee the independence of its mission. once the votes are counter bushnell and peace, with the prime minister,

who is head of government as well as the president, a largely ceremony role. how much do i just eat at the sub a base you appear? ok, let's take a closer look at some of the issues weighing on the boat than expected to continue until september. in romeo. the largest parties of boycotted the election of what they say is intimidation by the security forces. opposition parties have complained the agents are being targeted, putting stations in the amara and southern nations nationalities and peoples region . elsewhere, there were security and logistical problems, including issues with the printing of ballot papers. voting in a 5th of constituencies has been postponed and into gray. people don't even know when they'll be able to have their say in the election. the army has been fighting regional forces there since november. david shin was the us ambassador to ethiopia . he's now a professor at george washington in the states. he says this election is not

necessarily of indication of abbey, a man's performance is prime minister his party, their prosperity party will in all likelihood, when most of the of the votes, in part because some parties are boycotting the election. so i may actually last from his standpoint like he did fairly well. the bigger issue though, as. ready to what extent can he carry out his promises or a more democratic future for indeed there. ready are many challenges to his role behind the scenes that will not be accounted for in this voting process. and that will be a major challenge about $37000000.00 ethiopians registered for this election. that remains to be seen. how many of the 37000000 will actually vote that's out of a population of about a 109000000. so it's going to have to be

a very high percentage of the $37000000.00. make this a really credible election. but there are so many challenges already in the election that does raise serious questions about the credibility meaning is in battle. prime minister nicole passion yon has held on to power. months after defeats in the conflict with the by john, the prompted mass protest demanding his resignation. passion on one sunday's snap parliamentary election, tens of thousands of his supporters rallied in the capital caravan as president pledge to build what he called a new armenia, rory challenge reports now from the armenian capital. yeah, in the end it wasn't even close with a much bigger victory. them pre election polls predicted nicole pasheti and it's celebrating it's a riley in central europe. and on monday night, he thanked the country and talked of work to be done. i mean, the political crisis that suffered anatomy on november 9th and over the republic

off, i mean, i gave a mandate to our government and this political team to establish a dictatorship of low and right, the people implemented an item so jubilation for the prime minister and his supporters, but although winning 54 percent of the votes from a turn out of not quite 50 percent, is a solid mandate. it's hardly a ringing national endorsement of the man. it was a last tongue because on the side advice is that in the end, when with nicole, they might be a mighty grieving over his military defeat by john. but it seems that was from quite a rejection, that his main libel robert cherry and that's, according to analysts. richard garrick garcia is a returned to armenia is less democratic, passed his terms as president of armenia, where he actually came to power by force and forcing the resignation of the 1st

democratically elected president patrol in subsequent years for john by ruling the country rather than governing the country has been better and fixing elections than winning elections. robert contrarian and his armenia alliance are rejecting their defeat, saying there were voting irregularities. but international observers had given the running of the election, their preliminary approval, if not the toner, which campaigning was conducted. the parliamentary elections in the republic of ammonia, they're competent and generally manage with a short timeframe, whole as they were characterized by intense police station. and maud by increasingly inflammatory rhetoric among key contestants. this election has delivered something unusual for armenia and the region. a largely fair vote in which the winner wasn't pre ordains bots, nicole passion,

the great barrier race and including new money in the most recent state government budget, we really need to do more in that field as well. ok, unesco is talking about accelerated action. what does that mean? that means making very definite decisions on climate change. not heading towards supporting the fossil fuel industry in this country. and i think you call mine guest development. none of those things are going to help climate change, but also taking as much action as we possibly can on improving water quality for the great. right. we've got a really big coastline long range, so it's a difficult job. but one that we really have to work as hard as possible to sol, climate change leading to 3 mass, bleaching events in the past. what 5 and a half or 6 years? is it possible to say that the trend and we will get more of that or not?

do we think, as the pushback against climate change does pick up a pace around the world? so certainly, scientists have been predicting an increase in the frequency of carl bleaching events as the temperature increases as carbon dioxide concentrations increase. so this is exactly what has been predicted. so if we don't dramatically reduce emissions, we would expect to get more frequent breaking events on the berries and all the roofs around the world. briefly, doctor, is it possible that the great barrier reef it is a wonderful, wonderful thing of course. and if one has seen it up close, it is quite compelling and stunning. is it possible for it to go back to what it should be? what we'd like to think so? yes, we can definitely side the great barrier racer a lot of girls to left. it's still a futile, beautiful things come and say. so we just need to act very fast to reduce our mission globally. and as i said,

not just the strong government governments around the world have to commit to size icons light. the great, very dr. selena was the in brisbin good to talk to dr. thank you very much. bye. these 20 palestinians have been injured in attacks by israeli settlers and security forces on residence in the shake general neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem. right wing israelis threw rocks and chairs, families living there is where the police later moved in and arrested a number of palestinians, happy intentions, instinct, palestinian families wait for and what a court decision that could see them for to be expelled from their homes in a way for jewish settlers, these 10 people have been killed in an exchange of fire between syrian troops and rebels in southern italy, but that's according to the u. k based syrian observatory for human rights, government forces shelled out barbara and our som, there are. these are 2 villages in a de escalation zone. and those areas have an uptick in fighting in recent weeks
