have been getting reports from our sources in other pulling centers and also in other govern rates. the turn out is still very low and that could be also explained due to the kind of disillusionment among people, especially young people. those young people who rose up against corruption, who accused the current authorities of a corruption of mismanagement. in fact, many people say that this election, despite the fact that it has been receiving international and regional concert and despite the fact that it has been prepared or not. so high level is on all levels. but yet not many people are tempted. not many people are encouraged to a go to the pulling centers and cast their votes. as you know that many people here say that the same old politicians, the same old parties, are just re shuffling their candidates up. but yet they still have the same agenda

. they still have the same policies. a, if you speak about numbers at this election has been especially a what is new about this year's election is that it is for the fittest time excluding, excluding a iraq is abroad. and that has been under he, at the high scrutiny from many people, criticism, the chief commissioner of the independent national commission here today sat that he is up to mistake. and they're encouraging people to cast the votes. and he's apologizing for iraq is up abroad that they're not voting this year because of because of the biometric cod that they don't have. it is essential to catch the votes. and they're also because of logistics and because of the covet 90 restriction. so they could not send staff abroad to collect that data. now hidden it back in a rock, the turnout is still very low and many good rates as we have been hearing from our sources. and again,

despite the fact that international international observers who are about to 900 international monitors are monitoring this election. and that is in terms of also about 8000 international observers, are also observing this election. but yet it turns out that the not many people are encouraged to come to class vote at least as of yet. okay. keeping an eye on things in baghdad for us math mood. abdulla had thank you that talks between us and taliban officials of entered a 2nd day here in doha. the 1st in person meeting since the army group seized power in afghanistan, back in august, security aid, evacuation flights. the rights of women, they were all discussed on day one. the taliban has ruled out, meanwhile, cooperation with the united states in the fight against i. so that's after a series of attacks, including fridays bombing of

americans are not talking on the record at this point is that we heard assurances, we heard please for assistance and warnings on saturday, saying that no one should d, stabilized the government or metal in internal affairs and that the wishes of the afghan people must be respected on the issue of assisting, honest on with its major financial stressors. the united states government as a means of leverage. once the taliban came into power post. august has frozen about $10000000000.00 in africa and assets and groups like the international monetary fund in the world bank have stopped providing financial assistance. so what the taliban leaders here are looking for is the much needed assistance. the president of taiwan says her government will not bow to pressure from badging speaking during national day celebrations,

they are not getting the kind of rights that they were guaranteed and saying when's warning to a taiwan is that if we follow the same path as hong kong, we too will lose those freedom. so she wanted hong kong to serve as a warning to taiwan. so when it comes to the whole point of re unification, the process. yes, the have been these renewed calls are from cheat in ping of china that there should be a peaceful re unification saying when's a view is that the island of taiwan will determine what each future will be saying that the future of taiwan and our is in the hands of its people. idle cadet. com, known as the father of pakistan's nuclear bomb, as died at the age of 85. according to state, run television and con, passed away after being admitted to hospital for a long problem. the scientist was hailed as a national hero, but was also accused by western countries of smuggling nuclear technology. so called rogue states that these 20 people been killed in nigeria as cekada states
