and afghans and dave will be looking at and trying to interpret when he said that this was the last. and these words, nest of terrorism that had to be dealt with in the country whilst at the same time sort of building on this idea is that we've heard consistently was mentioned again in the 1st conference we talked about wants to form a inclusive government, a government that brings in all the voices, ethnic, minorities, religious minorities of this country, which of course, is so vital if it is going to get legitimacy here in afghanistan and the wide world . when he thinks that, tell us drafted that 1st live in couple soldiers have detained guineas. president of the con day in a qu, and close the countries borders. they have also dissolved because children and imposed a nationwide curfew. the west african economic block eco us condemned the military takeover and is threatening to launch sanctions. nicholas hopkins, a story known in his usual presidential attire,

a general election in morocco. people. busy go to vote on wednesday. this will be the election since nichols, jason was introduced in 2011. jamal of sheil reports from casablanca, with restrictions binding large scale gathering, still in place. political parties and morocco are limited to holding small street to street canvasses, as the vine for support of wednesday's elections. this year's polls are very different to previous one. election billboards are few and far between. there have been no big rallies, and there is an evident lack of excitement amongst many americans. much of this is down to the impact cove it has had on the country, particularly its economy, a key, and here i'll alarm, there's no doubt the pandemic will impact these elections and their entirety, what they won't just the lots killed, protest voting. but i also expect many people to choose to abstain, because the panoramic has dented the people's confidence in the political process. merkel is currently trying to stave off another wave of the virus. and although

vaccinated, and that whilst businesses have suffered its restrictions that have helped save people's lives. but in the end of the day, many voters costs their bandits based on how good or bad the economy is doing. this is the 1st time the patient will be old enough to vote. he makes a living, washing cars at the small garbage and one of casablanca suburbs. he makes roughly, just over $2.00 a day. he said, he hasn't decided who to vote for yet, but has a simple request from those seeking power. had been the, i wish they look at what the people need, they need to address not only the panoramic, but the economy as a whole. we all want the best for our country. morocco has dealt with the panoramic far better than many countries. this country has the highest vaccination rate in all of africa, but the cobra is still are threats while the economy is gradually recovering and streets and markets like these are getting busier. there's no doubt that the

and brazil's name. i had never seen anything like it. the officials said for arch and signed players, give them false information about their cove in 1900 status. 3 of them were on the pitch at the time. and shortly afterwards the walcott qualify was suspended. the players returned to their hotels. the few fans allowed into the cell bother stadium, 50 home, angry and confused. visa, the health officials that the right thing because of the current a virus problem that we have in this country and the world is also facing. we cannot hesitate. it was not our fault as the players fault. we did not comply with the quarantine shot. the problem is that it's an awkward situation. the official should have removed the players before they arrived at the stadium. they shouldn't have let them be on the team. visit that fast, that if the law, but it's very hypocritical. i think the much less things than this in the authorities do nothing. brazilian cobit 19 regulations stay the anyone entering the
