a part of that vote completely on party lines. republicans had been adamant they would oppose this bill to a person. democrats were adamant that they would pay for it to a person. however, there had been some debate earlier in the day, one senator holding on foot some changes, but he eventually agreed to join the boat, giving a total democratic block in terms of supporting this measure. but with that kind of bust in place, which means that 60 boats are required for the motion to go to the bait. it is now over at this particular point in time. the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, spoke directly up to the boat and he said, this makes very clear that both the suppression has become part of the republican platform and issue he's going to pick up on in the days ahead saying that the fact that democrats voted on mass in favor that democrats republicans voted on mass against was an indication about where the different parties stand on the rights of

americans to vote. if you happy as prime minister has branded mondays election a success, despite many voters in the countries config zones being left out of the process. of the homage says the pole was easier appears 1st attempt at free and fair elections . but as voters await provisional results, some opposition groups are crying foul. they say ballad boxes with tampered with and their stuff attacked. none of the doe has more not for me, and it's not about he seems to be on his way to winning his foster popular monday t a and if you up yeah. in 2018 when he came to power, he was selected by his party that the coalition bustled the country then b is desperate to get a puppet on monday because this country is riddled with so many problems from the conflict integral to ethnic troubles in several across the country,

many of the supporters and people in these, but he believes that with a popular mandate, he will have the legitimacy, he needs to little decisively with if you appears a problem. of course in most of pulling sessions across the country, the prosperity patio prime minister, i b 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, residence. and if you're up to dry region, say, fighting has flared up in recent days, north of the regional capital mckellen, they say fight as loyal to the former regional ruling party, entered several towns including undergrad,

where people celebrated until ethiopian and era trans soldiers arrived. if you have been military has denied reports dismissing them as a fabrication reports of violence come a day after elections took place and most of the rest of the country, no dates been sent for the polls there again, a fancy government says at least 11 police officers have been killed in an ambush for others are missing. happened on monday in the town of year ago when the sent an old region in the country's conflict at north, an official says the officers were attacked while on the relief mission. no one has claimed responsibility. swain's prime minister pedal sanchez has pardoned 9 jailed capital and separate his leaders. they were convicted of sedition in 2019, for their role in the regions failed. 2017 independence bid. the pardon is a deeply controversial moves and opposition party se they'll challenge it in court . san diego has more a tentative olive branch loaded with consequences. the spanish prime minister has

been pushing hard to revive talks with capital and separatists, and hoping that a pardon for the movements 9 in prison leaders can open the way for dialogue. we are responding to mother to the spanish government has taken this decision because it's the best of the capital lonia, the best for spain and correspondence to the spirit of hominy and co existence in the spanish constitution. yeah, it's not without opposition. sanchez finds himself in the middle of a storm outside of colonia. it is deeply unpopular, more than 60 percent of the country against the move and parties from the center to the hard right. have capitalized on that discontent. but the procession is movement . the pardon do not go far enough. the cattle and lita said only an amnesty would be acceptable as he could call to continue the fight for independence. but 1st water it's time for an amnesty on the right to self determination. it is time to

agree on the referendum. it's time for a solution to achieve more internal consensus. yeah, the illegal independence referendum in 2017 triggered the biggest political crisis of the country had seen in decades. the 9 succession as leaders was sentence in 2019 for their roles in the vote, including catalonia vice premier, spain supreme court, which oversaw the trial has also rejected the pardons. as it says, those sentence have shown no remorse. while the ruling is non binding, it could be cited a possible future legal challenges in the constitutional court, which could send the 9 back to prison. the difficulty for the process session is argument is that while it is very vocal, it is still in the minority in catalonia, big part of spain is still just about the preferred option that mr. sanchez's

dilemma is that he is leading a minority government and can ill afford to squander the support in the parliament . he also needs the support of catalan nationalists parties barely does know that this peace offering won't be extended by the prime minister's opponents. it is an enormous gamble, yet those determined to move on say the pardon are the only way to repair the divisions that still linger between the 2 sides. so did i ever go out there or not going to come here and i was very including, i mean, if you are seeing the video, it means my house is being rated and i've been kidnapped. the price paid by anyone, the, posing nicaraguans president, a warning this year's election won't be fat. and a rise in corona virus infections in some countries that new china's vaccine is causing concern among experts going to face. ah,

initially, the president had said that he wanted 70 percent of adults by july, 4th, the independence day holiday to receive at least one dose. but given the fact that young people especially are resistant to getting this, they have revamped that goal. now it will be by age 27 and above by july, 4th 70 percent of adults will have received one dose. some of the most vaccinated countries which relied heavily on chinese made jobs are experiencing a resurgence and covered 19 outbreaks. a report by the new york time shows countries are pacing the u. s. in the vaccination rates, such as bahrain, chile and mongolia rank among the world's top 10 worst outbreaks. it's res, concerned over there effectiveness on cobra. 1900 various cooper's health ministry has released details of its 2nd self developed cobit 19 vaccine and it says it's 92 percent effective. abdullah is a 3 shot vaccine and is proved highly effective and it's late stage clinical trials
