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. he's trying to force this other than through the court. and that can only be a good thing for armenia. that means that this election with conducted competitively by international standards and the threats of street violence seems to be passing. at least 8 people are being killed in min laws. second big city during a shootout between the military and local militia opposed to army rule security forces. so they were conducting arrayed in the city. amanda lay and were met with

will have limited work options and could face discrimination. russia reported another 546 deaths on tuesday, its highest daily number since february, as it struggles to contain sharp surgeon infections. but vaccine take up has been low, only 18000000 of the 144000000 population. as received at least one dose. authorities are trying to induce people to get vaccinated, offering the chance to win new cars and flat while threatening others who don't with loss of earnings and dismissal. you get it in the nation. will invisibly set in people without vaccination or immunity will not be able to work anywhere. it is not possible poses a threat to those around little the white house admits it's likely to miss president, jo biden's, target of getting 70 percent of adults vaccination with at least one shot by the 4th of july. official say it's been a struggle to get younger people to take the job. there are,

there are demographic groups and sometimes populations where it's more difficult to reach. we've seen that and we've talked about that as it related to early onto hesitancy. we were seeing and communities of color are more conservative communities, and we've seen it's been a great deal more difficult to get to get young people between the ages of 18 and 26 vaccinated than adults who are older than that. hence, we're redoubling our efforts. the president, his edge, the senate to protect democracy and pass a voting rights bill. but republicans looked poised to block it. democrats say it contains much needed measures to counteract new laws in republican lead states that make it harder for people to vote. republican state infringes on states rights develop the 60 votes and needed to move it forward. but even if all democrats support the bill, it shows when it's going from mike can, who's that live in washington dc. so what stage of they reached?

well they about to begin voting and coming minutes the had been discussing it, but this procedure is to put the bill up for debate on the floor. now, if it is not past with the 60 votes, then the bill will fail and it will not even be debated on the senate floor. certainly there's division in the senate, but on a bi partisan basis, republicans, each of them have publicly stated they will not back this bill. the democrats now will all. beckett there was one hold out senator joe mentioned, however, a compromised and reached with him earlier in the day. so you've got a scenario where you are going to have 50 democrats plus the vice president has the costing vote voting in favor of this vital piece of legislation. and every republican in the senate is likely to vote against it. now it is a vital piece of legislation described by many as the civil rights important civil

rights aspect of this particular era. and we've even had form a precedent for our bama breaking a silence on political matters. saying that it's crucial that this bill be passed, referring to to the january the 6th insurrection as evidence that such a bill to protect democracy is needed within this country. and given the figures you that you've talked about how, what, what's likely to be the outcome when you've got a scenario where i said the boat is unlikely to be passed, given the fact that this particular motion along with many others, would require 60 votes in the senate now, as i said, the democrats 51, the remnants of republicans who are all going to vote against. but the whole issue does not stop there because what this is going to focus on is 2 things. firstly, with the democrats providing a solid block, they will be able to portray the republicans or attempt to portray them as in effect, anti democratic,

reluctant to change voting laws to give the people of this country greater access to the polls. but what it's also going to throw into stock relief is the issue of the phillip bust itself. now this is the system in which certain bits of legislation require that 60 votes rather than a simple majority. now, strangely enough, to remove that full about the only requires a simple majority which the democrats have. but there are some democrats who are opposed to removing the filibuster, saying that what happens sometimes when we are in the minority incentive in the future. so this is where this discussion is going to go. democrats talking among themselves about whether or not to remove the fell about in order to get legislation like this critical one and other forms of legislation through the senate. my can thank you very much. indeed. a plague of mice wreaking havoc across eastern australia as forced a prison to evacuate hundreds of inmates and staff. rodents have invaded the walls

committee meeting. but it's the 2nd time that it's tried to add it to the list. 6 years ago, the australian government loving the 21 country committee to drop the listing. it said unesco didn't consider the billions of dollars that contributed towards the reef protection. but some expert say australia is resisting a commitment to the net, their carbon emissions level by 2015. and that it's over reliant from fossil fuels, maybe contributing to climate change. that means making very definite decisions on climate change. not heading towards supporting the fossil fuel industry in this country, and i think new coal mine, new gas developments. 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 rates. 3000 separate,

leafs and 900 islands make up the great barrier reef. but with 50 percent of the reef already gone. many question whether unesco move will make much difference. laura berman the al jazeera in escrow is also considering a proposal to put venice on its endangered list. if the city does not issue a permanent ban on cruise ships docking their if approve the agency could demand urgent action from the italian government by february. cruise ships have been banned from venice since the start of the pandemic. with plans for the construction of a terminal outside the lagoon. so residence was surprised to see a ship said into the city earlier this month to month. okay. shoddy is the leader of an activist group called the no big ships committee. he says unesco proposal is an important step towards protecting the front john lagoon. we are quite very, very happy about this announcements about your next go because it's exactly what

our committee is saying since 10 years of char goes against the cruise ships in our lagoon. the ships are too big for our city, they pollute to too much. they cause a lot of damages to the bill to the end, to the natural environment of our precious lagoon. the main problem of venice is that venice has only one economy. venice doesn't live on tourism. venice died on my tourism. the only economy of my stories actually pushed away from the city all the residents, all the different economies. still had this news out. there's more to these cocoa beans than that. just chocolate the pandemic because opened up new opportunities for follows in ivory coast and how to climb under a branch rosalyn go over it action from a unique sports event of spain on the way. ah

ah ah, ah ah ah. hello good ivory coast is the world's biggest producer of cocoa beans. the main ingredient in chocolate. it has to support most of the beans rule because it's unable to process them locally. but that's all changing due to the current of ours pandemic amenities as more from every jo. in 2020 cocoa farmers in ivory coast. what delta, heavy blow, as exports fell due to covered 90. the pandemic hit almost immediately after the

world's top producer announced an increase in farm gate price. hundreds of promise . what elected bees? they couldn't export. but the pen demick also opened new opportunities for farmers like on july. cool. so i said in one in one is that to you, local processing has been a very good idea as we've had lucas cooperative, the buying process, the beans. this is helping us to sell or produce more. like many of the farmers is looking to earn more than the 3 percent of the $100000000000.00 industry factory owners, like actually man, well, i expending looking to cash in on the new opportunities when you were seen. so one century we planting cocoa growing, cool, cool. but the main people dare do not know. don't know, i'll do chocolate is made out the process. when you process there is many value in the value. generally many 1480 to 2 in more money. the choke laid, the cook,

who is around $1.00 back. you know, he's very good absurdity when, when you process, you can even mall and i will call is coming about that. now with the see, do you decide to process here? the government is happy to encourage the increase in local processing with its multiply effect on the local economy. quote i gave promise on the voting government will focus on exporting rocha beans for forwarding exchange, but producers now realizing they can get more out of the bins. but just foreign currency. we are 2 more des valentine, yet another villages are told to extract all and butter from cocoa until now she was unaware of the opportunities in processing the beans. well, i thought for myself before the surgeon local processing activity, all the beans is sold off the harvest by the men. they kept the money. but with this transformation, we too are getting additional income to support ourselves and the family. the coke

oil, she extracts is used for cooking and cost more than other cooking oils. cocoa butter is also an important buy product which the country used to import from the same cocoa beans, it exports. the newly acquired skill is expected to drastically reduce the import of finished cocoa project, usually brought in at high cost. despite the inward looking measures few expect output from the world's biggest cocoa producer to fall. instead of is hoping to boost production far beyond the over 2000000 tons harvested in 2020. how many res? algebra i b john now his german with the sport. thank you. lauren england have gone through to the knockout stages of the european championship as group when, as they call the victory, they need it again, it's check republic to ensure they finished top raheem studying goal was enough for a one there when it means england will have mason mounts and ben chill while available. the last 16 match. both players are currently self isolating after
