live to dosage a body in check on the door. so let's talk about the fact that iran is accusing the us of interference after the election has been taking place. what's being said about that? well, we've been hearing from the government spokesperson, allie, right? be you who during his retreat press briefing, said that any kind of comments from the united states government, it will be considered as meddling and interference at iran. internal affairs that these comments are not welcome by writing officials and that they believe to their elections, to be fair. and that anything else, any attempts by the us administration to try and put a dark cloud over on the 13th presidential elections, which are held on june 18th, would be seen as an attempt to try and really tarnish the image of the incoming president elect. that is for him, racy who are still the countries head of the judiciary. now this comes as when

we've been hearing attacks from western leaders empowers about brian right uses, passed within the judiciary and a legit human rights violations which he has addressed in the past saying that he was not part, he was not head of the judiciary at the time of those allegations that, that he was a deputy, and that he believes he has address those accusations enough in the past. now the government now has under honeys, still very much providing a very united front with incoming 8th president and his cabinet to be by these comments. we heard from the robbery during the weekly briefing, daughter, as we heard just a 2nd ago, this was the 1st time that abraham marie easy has addressed iran as a nation. we had them talking about the corporate 19 the vaccination roll out policy was also talking about human decency being a focus of his attention. what else has he be speaking to speaking about up to this point? well, he's just finishing up

a speech which you started about 20 minutes ago. and the mom was a shrine in iran, totally a city that was my shot in northwest of the country. is this speeches to commemorate the birth of the 8th sheer amount that's a mom reza on wednesday, and he's using the occasion to really reach his target audience. this is his home town. the very religious city was started off his speech with a lot of quotes from the koran, and also they believes and teaches of the 8th m. and he then went on to talk to address the people of the country of the nation. that will, he will be serving, come early august. he said that he believes they need to be treated with respect and dignity even when it comes to negotiations that will be held with the outside world with western powers. he believes that the rights of the rain in nation really need to be at the forefront of any kind of dialogue that iran was to have with western powers course, alluding to the negotiations that have been ongoing in vienna. he also made a point of talking about justice and when it came to the country's economy,

he said that everybody deserves the right to have a better economic standing. he said that the people of iran have voted for change, a change in their economic status, and that is what he's promising to deliver a change from the current situation, which is that iran's economy is at an, at its old time, worse with inflation at over 40 percent and record unemployment numbers. finally, he said that one of the 1st things his government will do when they take office is to roll out a mass vaccination program to try and control the spread of pandemic, which has really crippled the country. iran is the worst hit country when it comes to dealing with the crone of virus in the middle east door. so thanks very much indeed that's such about bringing this up to date from tech and i want to bring in washington dc corresponded or white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins. she's a live for us. they are. let's just talk about the allegation, the job biden's administrations made about abraham re election when calling it the

manufactured and saying that it was neither feet nor fair is the by the administration having to readjusted strategy towards the run. know that there is a new president elect in place, the white house press secretary, jim sock insist that there has been no change in the strategy. but it's very clear from watching the recent round of negotiations with respect to limiting ron's nuclear program, which the button administration has said as a primary goal of trying to kind of revive president obama signature achievement. that this is going to be somewhat more difficult. in fact, the prospects looking a little bit more dim given the fact that that 2nd or rather 6 round of negotiations wrapped up in vienna and still there's no significant progress and the real stumbling block as each team returns to their respective capitals. and hey, rhonda washington is the sort of elephant in the room and that is the lifting of sanctions. the white house saying it will not put in place or lift those sanctions

. the financial, punishing sanctions put in place by the trumpet, ministration, unless they see some sort of commitment to rolling back around the nuclear program . but ron says just the opposite. it's not going to do that unless it see some lifting the sanctions. so this is the conundrum that is being faced in the negotiating team saying that political decisions now have to be made. now for the u . s. standpoint, what they're saying is that the supreme leader is the one that ultimately makes those decisions. so this election of the president elect really will have no impact on those negotiations, but at the same time until there are some decisions made on the lifting of sanctions, it really does seem like there is a bit of a stalemate that's taking place here. kimberly, thanks very much. kimberly how could talking to us from washington d. c. well the you and vice for ghana stan is warning of increased instability after recent military gains by the taliban separate. lions says the on groups taken

more than 50 districts since last month. on monday it's fighters captured the mom, so he district in northern condos province. but also in circled the provincial capital, prompting many people to pack up and had to come. bolt violence has escalated since the us announced 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 about can a stand. $370.00 districts have fallen since the beginning of may. most districts have been that have been taken should round prevention capitals suggesting that the taliban are positioning themselves to try and take the capital

one for since i've fully withdrawn. ok, let's pick now diplomatic editor james base his life for us in london. very serious work there, james, but of course the question will be, is anybody likely to listen and take some action? well, you wonder what action they can take because clearly many of the nations around the table of the security council. certainly the western nations did have leverage because they have troops on the ground. but the special representative has said that she believes now the majority of the u. s. a. nato troops have left. i've gone on. we have these briefings almost situation in afghanistan, in the security council every 3 months. and clearly the security situation has been deteriorating for years, but this was the grimmest picture yet that has been presented. and i've certainly been speaking to experts on afghanistan to people in afghanistan on the phone that

i know i used to be based there for outages. there and speaking to some of the people in london while i've been here in the last couple of weeks about what's likely to happen enough chemist on. and i think the chances of what the us wanted, which was fresh emphasis to the peace negotiations with new talks in danville to build on the dough hard talk that climb now looks in tatters and most believe that the most likely thing is the war that's gone on in afghanistan for 40 years to get even more intensified the country, perhaps to be divided, possibly the whole country default the taliban and the full of cobble too. and so for many of the nato nations in the us, this is going to be a did not disastrous scenario after the 2 decades that they've put so much money. and so many troops into afghanistan and of course, lost so many lives of that troops. but of course, that's not only focus on the nato troops, that's remember,

the people of afghanistan and the violence really is at a very, very high level now. and they are suffering yet again. and of course, there are going to be questions about whether or not it is possible to get any sort of talks back on the table while this violence is going on. and given the sum of fractured nature at times of the way that the taliban is structured. who do you actually talk to to try at least to get this violence with, with withdrawn or reduced? you're right, there's a taliban leadership and there is a place that you can go and see them. and they have been attending those talks in doha talks that took place with the us and then talks that really haven't got underway properly with the african government. but that taliban leadership doesn't necessarily represent all the tentacles of the taliban. because the taliban is built on the tribal structure of afghanistan, there are different groups in different parts of the country that join the taliban and change sides switch allegiances, as always, has been the case in afghanistan,

it's going to be very difficult, i think, to get the talks back on track and it was interesting the security council listening to the speeches from the various countries that yes, they all set the talks needs to get back on track, but then they switched to the humanitarian situation and what to do about that. and the feeling on guessing from un headquarters is a lot of the focus in the coming months is going to be trying to mitigate a humanitarian emergency. and senior officials have told me there is a prospect of a mass refugee crisis as a diplomatic editor james base talking to us from london. famous prime minister federal sanchez says pardoned 9 jailed catalano, separatists leaders that were convicted of sedition in 2019 for their role in the regions failed. 2017 independence, but opinion posted just about 60 percent of people in spain, oppose freedom, conservative opposition. parties in the drink save vales challenge the pardons in court. ok, let's take

a closer look at how we got to this point. was separate as leaders, staged a referendum on capital and independence in 2017. that's despite madrid banning them from doing so. police rated several pulling stations, fighting with voters, cattle and leaders declared independence after a referendum victory. and it sparked spain's worst political crisis in decades. that prompted vent catalogs the the carlos played small to flee abroad 9 others who remained in spain or arrested for sedition. and they were sent to prison. but all on shall morocco is a journalist and political commentator. he's joining us now from the trade that's good to have you with us here on august 0. the government says that this is going to come tensions over catalonia is going to do that. well, yes, that is the assumption from the government. the problem with that is that the, the, the separate is leaders which are going to be pardoned. they haven't request above

the actual rejected at least officially the same principle. they say they did nothing wrong so they don't need to report them. they are in favor of non misty. now there seems to be very difference between the 2 things, but he's a very important difference and honesty. so political actually means that what they did was not wrong. so in that sense, they are not accepting the father, none apart from that, they insist that they will do it again, that they are still in favor of independence, of course. but not only that, but in fact, they receptive themselves to use all the means they, they think they need to achieve that goal. so yes, there is a question of whether these will settle the question or extensions. how much of a political gamble is this for the prime minister? it seemed to a huge political gamble on the part of the prime minister because the, the problem was so popular, at least in spain as a whole, is differently cuts alone. you know, i guess

a majority of the people it supports it, but i think it's becoming clear that us we've missed so many other issues in spain . the divide becomes political and we can see how the numbers are changing. and now people who support the government are supporting or at least accepting the principal deposit and because they want to support the left, his government, and the people who oppose the pattern remains only in the opposition park is the right party. so in that sense, it's a gumble of course, but it may pay off for a sense because, and this is very important to understand in order to survive and empower pet sanchez, the prime minister needs the support of the saying the very same. katelyn naturally is politicians who he can keep poverty. so he need them now and into time we will have a general election. he's hoping that by then either the cuts alone issue has somewhat

accurately been solved or people have forgotten about the departments altogether. let's talk about the castle, an issue because the back and talk to all of this, of course the castle on determination for, for independence. the protests determination to get independence hasn't gone away. that fight for the for many catlins is still there. what does that mean for that campaign? what you write basically the numbers where they were years ago. we have basically cuts on society split by half. the pro independence camp is slightly behind, but just by 34 points. so basically is slid by a by half, which is quite surprising because this has been going on for a long time. dysfunction read was that many people will get tired of these

process and that things will sort out themselves just let's say by inertia. but it hasn't happened and the problem has not gone away. and what they now what the nationalists are proposing is a dialogue. the problem for the spanish government is that what they've proposed to, to talk about is a referendum of independence. and this is the only point they want to discuss, which in the spanish law is illegal, is not like britain, you cannot or you cannot. you cannot organize or offend when dependence, which is very clearly said in the spanish constitution. the constitution should have to be changed, but that requires majority to that are simply impossible to achieve in spain regard on somewhat other we appreciate your time, so thank you very much indeed for joining us on on the 0. well, penny bar ahead on the news are including the philippine presidential jiggle is threatening to jail. people who refused to get the call, the 1900 vaccine than the cost of living shop. chinese players in trouble for

letting a local hairdresser breach their corporate america bubble. coming up with peter, it is or in the russian government, blaming a surge of covered $900.00 infections on people's reluctance to get vaccinated. the kremlin threatening to people who do not skit, initially with loss of earnings, i'm dismissal from their workplaces moscow's mer, says unvaccinated residents to be denied entry to cafes and restaurants. while health organization has a different one and the shortage of vaccines, it says more than half of the 80 developing nations and the global sharing scheme, kovacs of either run out or will soon. and it's setting up a hub in south africa to allow developing nations to make their own vaccines. the could be 19 funding because shown that relying on a few companies to supply global public goods is limiting and dangerous

to boost manufacturing, w h a has continued to call for the sharing of know how technology and licenses and the waving of intellectual property rights. and in the philippines president did go to town, he is threatening to jail. people who refused to be vaccinated. little, you know, if you will not agree to be vaccinated, leave the philippines, go to india if you want to or some with, if you want to 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 the take on you people or about alan dorgan has more from manila. well, you know, this threat came from president that there to, 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 they're just government conducted an investigation into reduce esther is being vac. i'm seeing that being baksha was a vaccine for den get fever, and it was inoculated in during the time of former precedent, been ignore 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 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 where are western vaccines, which are spicer with that, but they're not. and these are really very limited here at the moment. provisional results, or if he appears general election or expected later on tuesday. it's the 1st electoral text for prime minister aubriana who was appointed in 2018, but the have been allegations of irregularities and not all regions were able to vote, including today. when there's been months of fighting. some opposition parties boycotted monday's election, while other se ballot boxes were tampered with and their stuff attacked. how much has more from the south about on the expectations of an election when a prime minister, i'll be amad. he seems to be on his way to winning his foster popular

monday, t a. and if you appear in 2018 when he came to power, he was selected by his party, the iep to be of coalition, but of the country. then i'll be desperate to get a profit on monday because this country is riddled with so many problems from the conflict integral to ethnic troubles in several hot across the 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 little decisively with if you appears a problem. of course the most appalling stations across the country, the prosperity patio prime minister abbey is the leading for the position. i'm making headway in albany areas like the capital and about part of towns in other parts of the country and they seem to be happy with that. but there have been

problems with pulses and position, but in the rural areas, how filed hundreds of complaints including some about company with electro material . actual commission say it is investigation, goes allegations. william davidson is a senior analyst of the international crisis group, specializing in ethiopia. he's joining us now from fort myers in florida. thank you very much indeed for being with us on. i'll just see if the prime minister gets the mandate that he has hoping for. will anything change in ethiopia? well, we have to wait and see and need these expectations that that might give the problem as the apartment that is building party the confidence to change course and try and reach out some of these political opponents that by the boy caught to the election or are engaged in insurgencies against the government and not very much includes the situation in, in to great. i think it is reasonable to hold out some hope here,

but also we can see reasons why perhaps that will not happen. and it does seem to have been something of a systematic exclusion of some opponents from the democratic process with the government having gained a majority, we might expect to see a sort of continuation of that. and then we took out the tick rates situation. well, the federal government just classified the ruling party. it was removed from power that the c p f as a terrorist organization. so it be quite a significant backward step for the federal government to start opening negotiations with the g p that so if there is going to be a change of heart that there is a lot of work to do. yeah, there is a lot going to cover isn't there because there is still a degree of entity on both sides and of course, a degree of mistrust. for those of us looking at the situation from outside the field, what would be the 1st signs? do you think that there were some efforts, some form of reconciliation being made in the tick gray context that would

be a prioritization of this disaster? humanitarian situation where i'm in conditions thought by the us to be affecting 350000 people so far the federal government and its allies, the eritrea and military, also forces from neighboring. i'm har, region, they have prioritize removing that p, p. f. government from power and trying to defeat them on the battlefield. that is contributed to this disastrous humanitarian situation with many of the people most in need. in the most conflict affected areas where the resistance is occurring. so a prioritization would mean some form of fire or lead, allowing humanitarian actors unrestricted access into those areas where to graze. removed, government is leading this insurgency. if that happens, then perhaps that will lead the way to restart some form of political process to

try and resolve the dispute in another way than on the battlefield. nevertheless, of course, ethiopia is struggling with many different problems. of course, economically it has significant issues as well. there is a lot of ground for the, the prime minister to cover, and yet he still has a great deal of opposition within the country. how much of an uphill struggle is this going to be for an abbey government? there is no doubt that it is currently experiencing a difficult period. i think that is even acknowledged by the supporters of, of abbey. and those parties participate in the election. the chronically difficult socio economic conditions but compounded by the copied downturn and also a debt crisis. and then the civil war in gray. and also growing insurgents is elsewhere in the country. also regional tension over the ground. these rates on stem. and which the don over that diamond over territory, there was a huge amount of work to do. and i think crisis group,

we believe that unless it's some program of political reconciliation here, reaching out to those who have been excluded from the political process. and indeed, even though it's, we're in gauge in insurgency, then it's going to be very hard for the prime minister even way, the solid majority to sort of establish the stability needed to embark upon the sort of the political and economic reforms that we believe they are that that is their desired agenda. davidson is a senior and i was the international crisis group and we appreciate your time, so thank you very much indeed. thank you. now position candidate in armenia. snap elections says he has evidence of fraud in sunday's vote for president roberts for charlie and made the claims during a news conference yet. yvonne early on tuesday, he was defeated by prime minister nicole washington called the election to ease anger over a peace deal he signed with us by john.
