let's speak to dorothy jabari. she is in her on 4th door. so this pushback on the us, not a huge surprise that no, certainly not 10. it's what the government spokesperson id rather you said during his weekly press conference, he indicated that this is not, of course, the 1st time the united states has attacked iran electoral process. of course, iranians believe that any kind of criticism or comments from the us administration about iran election process and this specific election presidential election was considered a attack on the country's entire electoral system and that they have and they believe to be democratic. the comments also are seen as an attack on the president elect abraham bracy who is still the head of the countries judiciary. of course, this comes at a time when the president likes pass has been questioned by specifically the united states various levels of government within the u. s saying that his questionable human rights pass, of course, indicate that he's not a part of

a process that is legitimate of course, the rain and say that is not the case. the president elect himself during his press conference indicated that at the time period in question about his involvement in a number of incidents of human rights violations. he was not in charge of the judiciary. he was a deputy and that he believes he has answered those accusations in the past, and he doesn't wish to bring them up again. but for the government spokesperson today, it was very clear the line here it is, even though he is a representative of the current governments of how sandra honey considered to be a moderate president. he said that these kinds of accusations by the u. s. and especially the attacks on the president elect are seen as a interference and the criticism of a western power who does not want to acknowledge iran's char electoral process, which the officials fear, believe to be democratic, a free and fair. and they said that any kind of comments from the u. s. government is not really conducive to where iran wants to me forth with the international

committee. of course, we're in reference to the nuclear negotiations that are ongoing. and also, i believe we all going to hear from you see shortly he's going to address the nation. what do we expect to hear from him today? well, he will be delivering a speech at the holiest sites in iran that is a mom or as a shrine. in the northwestern city of masha, which is also his own home town, of course, the president liked was a, be in charge of the biggest foundation in iran. that is the us on a foundation from 2016 until 2001, 900. during that period he let this huge foundation which is in charge of him on the shrine as well as other firms within its reach. he will be delivering a speech marking ambrose of birthday, which is on wednesday. we believe it will have mostly a religious tone, but it will be interesting to see whether or not he will use this opportunity to

indicate what iran will expect to happen under his presidency in the next 4 years. that of course, also important to know what kind of a turn out he will have at this trying. and will we bring you all the lessons from that speech here on out there dorothy barry that and her on for thank you to well, let's not get the view from washington d. c. in feature. our white house correspondent. kimberly, how is it? kimberly, what is the u. s. s new strategy now that there's a new leader and iran? well, the white house press secretary didn't sock. it was very clear to say that she wouldn't telegraph the punches if you will. when other words, the strategy, what they plan to do moving forward, they are insisting that there is no change in the strategy in fact. but we do know that the latest round of negotiations have occurred in vienna. and in the words of the white house press secretary, they do not see the president elect as the decision maker, but instead the supreme leader. so with respect to those negotiators,

they are now in tehran and washington consulting with their policy teams on next steps. but i can tell you, the real tough decision that has to be made in washington is what to do with respect to be sanctions that iran is looking to have lifted those punishing economic financial sanctions, which we should point out even are put on the president elect that he is under scrutiny for his a lead role in human rights crackdowns. something that the united states has said is a foundation of its foreign policy. so as a result, there are a lot of complicated decisions to be made and they're also a number of political pressures, not just domestically capital hill, but also with european allies and partners. so all of this is being weighed in the united states right now as they plot next steps. kimberly, how could the white house correspondent speaking to us from washington d. c. thanks, kimberly we're moving on now and spain's prime minister petro sanchez has just

pardoned 9 dale cathel and separatist leaders. they were convicted of sedition back in 2019, for their role in the regions failed at 2017 independence bid. opinion polls suggest about 60 percent of people in spain, oppose freeing them or conservative opposition. parties in the grid say they'll be challenging the pardons in course. well, let's take a closer look at just how we got to this point. separatist need a staged a referendum on castle and independence back in 2017. now, that was despite madrid banning them from doing so. police raided several polling stations fighting with vs. their capital i need is then declared independence after referendum victory. when that spunk spends west political crisis and decades, that then prompted, then cast landey to shalt push him off to flee abroad. 9, all those who remained in spain were arrested for sedition and sent to prison. well, let's speak to margaret vasquez. she's a professor of constitutional law at both learning university. she joins us now

from barcelona mall. this is obviously been a really controversial decision today. what is motivating the government here? good afternoon. the government over spain, the president of the spain is saying that the motivation for the fargo is the frequency, the sean and 2 more poems. and to bring up things into politics because it has been for too long in the, to the surety the spanish supreme court was the one condemning the persons and the political conflict was taken into court. whereas now the punish credited in time to take that he wanted reconciliation one. however, the other for you. so many people is saying that the other reason has everything is coming up now because the european court has issued a report saying that spain should release the political prisoners,

that the ones in a dial should treat her. and that due to weapon attacks, tours the right to public assembly. and there are issues also regarding the prism of expression in the spring, especially when related to the independent this movement show today is decision. it feels a little like need the site ends up happy on the one side, there was a push for them not to be pardoned for supporting them. they would been demanding amnesty rather than a pardon where things stand now. yes, the thing is that many people in get along, you know, they say that they want this misty. why? because with i, misty do are clarifying the facts. not the parents went in to be the only and there is these cultural association who has a report that we had reported that right now. there are more than 2000 persons.

persecuted because of the append to to take, to do a refresher for independence. so they got their own, many people is dependent, misty should be better, because then no precedents would be there in black. many people at the same time like more than how some person would be clarified. hallway work, these parked on ter faster because theses decision from the government. and these are the decision that the government can pay according to the punish contribution to a busy pot solution. but we still have all these crimes, you know, work, criminal gold, which should be amended as has been suggested by the by amnesty international european concealed the united nation, but not as we were saying earlier, more than 60 percent of spaniards believe that they shouldn't be pardons. i'm

curious, where is the conversation now round independence after all that happens. so if i see that there is a, a fairly crucial meeting set for later this month. yes, of course, many people in california not or got a lot of course, but a large majority. they want a reframe the and some of the capital, and they say they will call for a referendum, even though the pennies for women doesn't want to. so we will see it because from the spanish side what it said that you said no step will be taken away from the go to dawson. and this is the constitution that it's very difficult to reform. so therefore, we still have the political complete. but here from colonial, what people want is a referendum similar to the one that they had to scotland. margaret vasquez, the professor of constitutional law at boff learning diversity, was good to get your thoughts on out there. thanks for joining us again. thank you

very much. me so now a warning of a corona virus vaccine crisis developing and poor nations that desperately need a boost in doses. who was helping to says of the ac nations targeted under that global sharing scheme. kovacs more than half of them are facing shorter. some of even run out, it's now setting up the hub in south africa to allow developing nations to make their own vaccines. the could be 9 can funding because shown that relying on a few companies to supply global public goods is limiting and dangerous to boost manufacturing. w joe has continued to call for the sharing of know how technology and licenses and the waving of intellectual property rights on a more positive note to cuba has released some promising data on the 2nd of 5 vac.

seeing that it's working on its health ministry says it's 92 percent effective after 3 jobs. on the other hand though, one country making slow progress in its vaccine rollout is the philippines. and now its president, rodrigo detached, a is threatening to jail. people who refused to be vaccinated, little in the room, but if you will not agree to be vaccinated, leave the philippines, go to india if you want to or some with, if you want go to america. but for as long as you are here and you are a human being and can carry the virus you should be vaccinated. otherwise, i will order all the local officials to have italy of the people who refused to be vaccinated. because if you don't want to be vaccinated, i will use either mixed in for pigs on you people or mental and again, has one out from the capital manella. while you know, this threat came from president that there at the, in his latest public appearance, where he basically said that filipinos can be put to jail if they refuse that vaccine. but early this morning, the same statement coming from the president was contradicted by the department of

justice secretary and basically saying that the law, the government cannot compel filipinos to get vaccinated. but as you know, it will just go more, it will take more than just threats. coming from the president in order to convince a lot of filipinos to get vaccinated. latest survey, a local poll survey show that only a 3rd of those pulled were willing to get back to needed. and this issue of vaccine hesitancy has been a problem for so many years in 2017 president through the good that they're just government conducted an investigation into 3 disasters. thing factual campaign, being baksha was a vaccine for den get fever, and it was inoculated in during the time of former president vinegar quino. now that investigation was played before the general public for many years. and that's contributed to the very high vaccinate vaccine hesitancy in the philippines.

another issue here also is vaccine preference. another's survey also shows that majority of filipinos do not want vaccines coming from china, which makes up the bulk of available vaccines. here they do prefer american, and when are western vaccines spicer or more than they are now? and these are really very limited here at the moment. on the african continent, few within one percent of the population has been vaccinated. early i spoke to dr. richard, me, heger, he's the coordinator of the immunization and vaccine development program at the world health organization. and he explained to me just how this new vaccine hub in south africa could increase production. today. only $60000000.00 close to $60000000.00 has been distributed to africa compared to more than $2600000000.00 globally. it gives you just a scale of how low the vaccine availability is on the african continent. so we believe that in the next 9012 months,

the hub that has been established. so we could start producing vaccine. and this can help, at least to solve the problem of availability of the vaccine. because for the moment, our each contract 1st using their supply commit people in their own countries before even thinking about our country and africa. it's very interesting when we looked at the new technology that is being used to produce the messenger r n a vaccine. i think it's effective date, for instance, a week production of vaccine compared to the traditional way of producing vaccine and flexible technology that could be adopted very quickly, for instance, to produce vaccines for different variants. so i think the choice of this technology for hobby in the south africa is the right choice because it's going to help really to kind of need for the new approaches and

technology to produce vaccine quickly on different continent. well, there's still plenty more had this news hour, including the u. s. hopes to reopen discussions about young young nuclear program will have overlays and find out why there are health worries to people living near oil production facilities in southern iraq. and the cost of looking sharp, she says, are in trouble for letting a local head dress breach copa, american bubbles, coming up with pizza. and ah, now the un envoy on afghanistan is wanting of increased instability after recent military gains by the taliban. deborah lion says the group has taken more than 50 districts in the country just since last month. on monday its forces captured the

moms, the heed districts in northern condos province. they've also encircled the provincial capital, fronting many residents to pack up and had to cobble violence, has escalated their since the us announced its plans to withdraw its troops by september. the council has heard me think of the continuing to increase the violence over the past year. even as the peace talks began in doha, in september, the taliban recent advances are even more significant and are as a result of an intensified military campaign. more than 50 of afghan, a stand, $370.00 districts have fallen since the beginning of may. most districts have been that have been taken should round provincial capitals suggesting that the taliban are positioning themselves to try and take the capital one force and i

fully withdrawn provisional results for your peers. general election are expected later on tuesday. it's the 1st electro test for prime minister. i'll be mad who was appointed back in 2018 for they have already been allegations of irregularities. and not all regions were able to vote including p gray, whether it has been months of fighting. some opposition parties also boycotted mondays election while other se, ballot boxes were tampered with, and the staff attacked mama to day reports now from addis ababa. there were long queues of waters in most pulling centers in several cities across. if you appear including in the capital of the sub, some of the volta started queuing us us for a m local time. 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 is the 1st electro test for 44 year old

prime minister who rose to power in 2018, championing democratic revival enough a 2nd most populous country. and a break from it's offered a teddy and past totaling other things. a common orderly so far, but i just wish the process was a little faster than it is, and we hope this election will bring peace and unity. 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 their national electro board say about a dozen pulling stations opened late due to officials arriving late. voting was extended in some pulling stations to allow water cuts the bulbs. 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 most originally based, some position parties of boycotting the volt in the battleground state of romeo position 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. colleague, it's somewhat credible. my expectation is that it would hopefully was mine or difficult. this would be good to know creative away because that's what we are hoping. that's what we're watching very closely up to now, the turn out seems to be good. people are out in the big numbers. that's a good thing. that's a good science fight. been billed as a nationwide election. so i'm not 2nd place in one 5th of the countries, 547, because it was these elections in the somalia, unheard of 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 yeah, most of the delayed volt, scheduled for 6 september, but not that has been set yet for a vote in ticket. i the pull something monitored by observance from the african union as well. as a number of, if you're in 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 volta count of national and peace with like the prime minister, who is head of government, as well as the president, a large list ceremony, a role. well, let's now speak to me. i'm going to do. he joins us from us, mama to. let's start with the balance. it did actually get cost is up, you know, looking like you to get that legitimacy. bruce, he was hoping for on the 3rd year. yes, he seems to be on his way to winning his foster for philip monday. t a. and if you up in 2018 when he came to power,

he was selected by he's party that had to be of coalition. but was ruling that country then and i'll be desperate to get a puppet mondays because this country is riddled with so many problems from the conflict integrated to ethnic trouble in several hope for the course that country, many of the supporters and people in these. but the believe that with a popular mandate, he will have the legitimacy, he needs to be able, decisively, with, if you up years of problems. and of course, the most appalling stations across the country, the prosperity, fuzzy of prime minister, i b is the leading. but the position i'm making headways in our been areas like the capital and about parts of towns in other parts of the country. and they seem to be happy with. but, but there have been problems with the poll system opposition, but is in the rural areas. how filed hundreds of complaints, including some about the company with electro material that actual commission say

it is investigation, goes allegations and mode. to some extent, many might argue that given the areas that did vote, the result would be fairly predictable. but what about the other one fist of the country? moreover, seen not just referring to t gray here. yes, it's not just to guy. it's the 200 years of hot of the somebody region where the electrical board had said that they had pushed back the election to the 6th of september because of logistical problems. and the need for more time to prepare for elections in both areas. but there are also pockets of other regions, like the autumn, yet venetians will. i'm hot with some cars is actually did not vote because of the ethnic base violence that was taking place in those areas. all said he didn't know what this time accepted to get a we'll have the election on the 6th of september,

watching those very closely hand to mama to do that with all the lessons for us from out us about that. thanks so much my now the opposition candidate in armenia is snap election says he has evidence of fraud in sunday's vote for president robert contrarian, made those claims during a news conference in yerevan earlier on tuesday. and he was defeated by prime minister called passion. yet, who called the election to ease anger of a peace deal that he signed with as a by john, where we challenge in yerevan for us. and he says, despite the claims of fraud, joanne seems to be coming to terms with his defeat. although robert cherry and is still pursuing the legal means to try to make the prime minister's office his the tone of the press conference he gave you on tuesday was of a man who realizes that it's not to be his team is compiling a list of what it calls electrons, frauds, proof of those to submit to the constitutional court. but he acknowledged that

perhaps he wasn't as popular as he thought and that many people on media did not want to go back to the governments of the past. but for observers in armenia and armenians, it's interesting to as much to hear what he didn't say as much as what he did. he didn't call for 3 protests. he isn't taking this to the street. you've been trying to force this other than through the court. and that can only be a good thing for armenia. that means that this election was conducted competitively by international standards. and the threats of street violence seems to be passing . well now unesco is considering a proposal to put venice on its endangered list. if the italian city doesn't issue a permanent ban on cruise strips, docking there now, if approved un agency could demand urgent action from the italian government by february cruise ships have been banned from venice since the start of this pandemic . but residence was surprised to see a ship sailing into the city. earlier this month. i spoke to timothy cuts yadi. he

is the leader of the activist group home without the note on the navi, which translates as the no big ships committee. he says unesco proposal is an important step towards protecting the fragile lagoon from a future disaster. we are quite very, very happy about this announcements about unesco because it's exactly what our committee is saying seems. 10 years of char goes against the greece ships in our and it goes a lot of embarrassment for our government that says on the 1st of april, may the governor mental decree said that the cruise ships will not center in our, in the moon anymore. but the, all the world, the manage to see the fits of june actually nothing that changed. so this duration of nascar is very, very important. it's important because. busy of the main issue that the big ship this issue because the ships are too big for our city. they pollute

to too much. they cause a lot of damages to the city and to the natural environment of our precious boom. and they are not safe. we have seen a couple of years ago to accidents in the same month. these ships are not build and not made that to cross fragile maybe a evil historical city like then they are build the sale and to, to grasp the see not the main problem of venice is that venice has only one economy . venice doesn't live on juries. venice died on mass tourism. the only economy of my student is actually pushed away from the city all the residents, all the different economies. while it's now time for the weather and here is emerson. hello, we got the burning heat continuing across eastern parts of europe,

clear skies here. so temperature is getting well up into the thirty's for that western side of rush, a very different story farther west. we got cloud and rain coming through, but at least temperature is just nothing up in the right direction. i am pleased to say lossy to ride for the british charles as we go on 3. whether they wet weather will slide across ireland into western parts of wells, west pulse of scotland. have you right there, continuing through central and southern parts of france joining up a somewhat weather that we have across the paradise and pushing a little further east. we'll see some showers just breaking out in napoleon just around the baltic. stay still a few showers. they're just around the black sea a more of the same as we go on through thursday. notice by thursday, sides of some wet weather coming into the north, west. germany looking pretty unsettled with some sundry downpours further south. it warms up madrid, getting up to $26.00 celsius as a bit more like it on a dry cross, much of southern europe, and dry to cross northern africa. very hard to tripoli,
