actuating this myth, i'm here to tell you that i think that many people die because of the listening pace. deconstruct the media on al jazeera ah, bold, and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera ah disillusioned. those his eyes, poles close in iraq. officials warn turnouts in the parliamentary elections could be one of the lowest on record. ah, my money inside this valence is there a lie from doha. also coming up, talks between the taliban and u. s. officials appeared to have reached an agreement on guessing aid to

afghanistan. thousands demonstrate that support opponents european union membership after court ruling that the national constitution override some of the blocks laws . and a conservation drive becomes a matter of concern not to crocodiles threatened lives in east in india. ah, iraqi officials have indicated that sunday's parliamentary election tree one of the lowest turnouts in years. it was supposed to be held next year, but was brought forward in response to mass anti government. protests. electoral commission is promising fantasy and transparency is ballots. all tallied, i hash m reports from baghdad, the end of a long day in iraq, which so it brought us trickle through polling stations to elect a new parliament. what longer days, mainly

a head to now be up to politicians and whoever boxed them outside iraq, to agree on a new prime minister. the balls how close avenue out in iraq. the falling machines are now going to issue the detailed report with who won, who lost the turnout. void votes they got on. there will be a manuel vote and manuel count in order to compare the papers with the reports of the falling machine so that they'll be a detailed report that is going to be issued by the electorate commission. and then the hannah, i'm a via that fella. the voting process was over at 6 pm, and now we're getting results from the 2 devices, the verification device and the optical scan with gods will. we will distribute the results with multiple copies to the agents of the political entities. but voting system glitches and visibly for turn out sure, iraq is, are convinced the election will deliver the change the want, no matter who comes out on top. well, obviously the political, let's

a choice. all the list of candidates town was not sufficient. and now that the politicians, the political elite might draw the consequences found of this, the vote was held early in response to mass protests that began in 2019. the remains deep distrust in a political class. why the accused of corruption and of failing to address high unemployment and crumbling public services electron while the hash, there's discontent among the people to watch everything that's happening in the country. they're upset, and this is an opportunity for the political parties to assess their previous policies. there are no matter how it's laura. i did not vote to be honest. it's not worth it. there's nothing that could benefit me or others. i see youth have degrees with no jobs before the elections. they all came to them after the elections, who knows? that's a dominant view among many young people. what some, all the iraqis still have hope. if you one years old,

has i made this all the strip over the says, believing it's worth it when you're not vacuum on the past parliament it into anything for us, but we'll hog this term. there will serve the people in every election. there are winners and losers, but with most people not bothering to have is say, the selection might end up being more about the vote of no confidence in iraq's leaders alisha 0 or that iran con has been ada pony station in the northern city of mosul. and says only a fraction of eligible voters showed up despite this heavy security, it's been a very disappointing day here at the ballot box. now this pulling station behind me is one of the main ones in mosul. a 1000 people are registered to vote here. so fought just over a 1000 people have voted across new province. we're hearing that the vote turn out will be around 20. want to 25 percent. that's incredibly, incredibly low. now,

what's the reason for that? well, they say that all politics is local. one of the driving issues of the anger and the frustration that residents of mosul fil is the fact that they feel that central baghdad, the government that has completely ignored them. this was sent the scene of some the most intense fighting against iceland. 2017, i'll just give you an example. you can see just often the distance there. that's one of the houses that was almost completely destroyed all along the street right. the way down for miles, you can see destroyed, houses, bullet holes, and just complete destruction. the residence of very angry the central baghdad hasn't given them the money to rebuild their homes. a lot of people still living in displacement camps because they can't come back to mosul because there's nothing to come back to their houses, the and if the work, there's a running water, there's no gas is no electricity that's driving or the lack of voting hey, what's most residents, the saying is that actually what's the point? nothing ever changes and we're very angry. so that boy caught the vote movement

that we've been talking about over the last few days does seem to have translated into a lack of action at the polling station. as a must suffice a pro democracy, activists based in bail and iran scottish region. she spent the day trying to encourage people to vote. we were never talked about the importance of democracy. the importance of voting these were, i think that we need to have in our educational system, but we did not have that. so one of the reasons why 2 years ago there was the protest, it was because young people wanted their basic right to just clean water electricity, better health conditions when they were not able to receive that. and not only that, when they protested 600 people were killed and thousands were injured. and many journalist and activists went missing, in fact, 3 days ago, and journalists have gone missing in iraq. so these are also points that people are

concerned about. some use like to me are scared to speak up because they do not know what will happen to them in both data and other parts of your at your very table. so the people there are really scared of speaking up because they, they have the in their loved ones, their family and their friends go missing or dead. so this is also another factor that stops the youth from speaking up and from loosing hawk. representatives of the taliban say they've finished what they calling positive talks with the u. s. and castle issued a statement saying that while the us still refuses to recognize the taliban government, it's agreed to provide humanitarian aid to help afghanistan avoid looming crisis. the u. s. a said the talks were candid and professional. the taliban will now meet with a delegation from the european union. natasha, the name has moved from tao. the afghan ministry of information characterized the to day talks as quote, positive and says,

the hope is this will pay the way for recognition of this transitional afghan government, not only by the united states, but by the international community. the afghan delegation led by the acting foreign minister, came to doha, seeking international recognition and the much needed financial assistance that accompanies it. the country is in the midst of economic and humanitarian crises with un refugee agency warning that if the country doesn't get that much needed assistance come winter, there will be a quote catastrophe. the acting un ambassadors to hail shaheen says the 2 sides dove into political issues and came to the consensus that the full implementation of the doha agreement is the only way to resolve political differences going forward. he says the us vow to provide humanitarian assistance to the afghans will

work with nonprofit organizations and helping to facilitate the delivery of that aid. and that humanitarian assistance will be decoupled from political issues. the afghan delegation says that it will cooperate with humanitarian groups to get that humanitarian aid to the afghans, and that it will continue to normalize diplomatic relations. it did say that future meetings with the american delegation might take place if warranted. thus far, the united states is not commenting on these 1st ever to day talks. a new report is warning of a stalk imbalance and the number of women getting the coven 19 vaccine compared to men. research by the care, international aid organization shows that in some countries, just one woman is vaccinated for every 3 men. they also found a number of reasons for not being able to get to clinics to not getting permission

from husbands or male relatives. and women are less likely to trust the vaccine safety. as also a striking gap between high and low income countries with more women getting the vaccine in wealthy nations. care says it's critical to do more to address the imbalance. millions in australia's largest city sydney are celebrating after months long cove and 19 locked down was lifted off restrictions happen place more than a 100 days to carry the spread of the delta variance cafes. james and hair dresses have reopened to the fully vaccinated infections have been falling and sidney and more than 70 percent. of those aged over 16 have now had 2 doses of vaccine. the city is still recording hundreds of new cases a day. tens of thousands of people have rallied across poland, angry at a court ruling which said that pos of law are incompatible with the police

constitution. supporters of the you are worried that government is pushing poland to as an exit from the block. for a challenge, reports from warsaw. i. large crowds and e. u flags are plenty in central, warsaw and real fears for the country's future. we would like to stay in the european union and we are very afraid that we are going to to the pol exit together with the government of mister kaczynski and the others there is like, you know, a magician who is playing a young magician who's playing with fire and he doesn't know how to her how to stop, so it can explode. so i think he's the same here. they don't really know what they did since the constitutional tribunal ruled on thursday. that foundational part of law don't apply in poland. thomas opposition politicians on and you support us in mobilizing the turn out here reinforces

a central point. support for the european union in poland is overwhelming, some 75 to 80 percent of the population, not even the ruling. lauren justice party really questions ponens membership of the european union. so begs a question, why is the government picking such a potentially dangerous fight with brussels? we did invite poland government and supporters in the media to explain their position, but none took the opportunity. so i put the question to adam bordner until being ousted by the same tribunal that ruled against the e. u. he was poland, human rights ombudsman. it seems to me that government would simply like to accept . okay, we can take the money, we can take all those benefits, but please leave us alone when it comes to and the pressure concerning the compliance with and the european earth standards. but it is impossible simply because you cannot be at the same time member of the european union and ignore or

basic rules of european integration. the you is thinking about its response. it neither wants to let this slide nor worse on the dispute. we will react of calls like we're like we have done in the last weeks or, and mostly of cinda. again, we already know false new decisions of the court of justice about the situation in colon. oh, so possible a daily financial sanction. the constitution now joins issues like judicial reform, abortion, and l g b t writes connected fronts and a power struggle between poland, government and the e. u. that's getting worse. not better. very challenge how to 0. also, attack president mills them on has been admitted to intensive care and death after parliamentary elections in sake into hospital. shortly after he met the prime minister on by a barbarous he was narrowly defeated by the center right alliance on saturday.

parliament situation is very critical and it is time promise. of course i was taught listening to the people and sitting on the table. ready and getting on a dialogue with those who are living with him in this country. so i say is that because he is the president of and isn't a public. ready so he's a president of, or to news years, not all of those who are there to support him. president high side is now ruling by decree. after assuming nearly all executive power, he's pledge to fight corruption and revive along stagnant economy. he's defended his move, saying it was to save the country, but his critics call it a coup. and while say he broke ground by appointing the 1st female prime minister, he's yet to provide a road map out of this crisis. and she's yet to name a government a week ago, it was the president supporters who were on this very st, endorsing the policies and power grab so many are against thousands rallied in

tunis and other cities, according to interior minister figures. yet seed was filmed, telling his prime minister, designate that 1800000 had turned out nationwide to back him. the discrepancy is perhaps a reflection of how divided tunisia has become andrew shapell. now, dizzy power is being restored across lebanon, following saturdays total, black out. the country which is struggling with a crippling economic crisis. so it's 2 biggest power stations shut down because of a fuel shortage. the energy menissi says it's received approval, the $100000000.00 in credit to secure fuel imports. santa hold, i reports from barret, this data electricity network has again collapsed. a lack of fuel, forced lebanon's largest power stations to shut down. it's the 4th time in the past months. that shortage is caused 8 country wide blackout. a deep economic crisis means a cash strapped state is struggling to important energy resources. the sun got up

again. we used to have electricity for an hour daily. now it is totally cut. we are spending our time out, sought our horns. so our children can have from the total power outage has practically been the case for months. state electricity in most places has been available for an hour or 2 a day. the company is now trying to use the armies reserves to operate its power plants temporarily before the expected arrival of a fuel shipment. but the state run plants have run poorly for decades. well, hello murphy, there's been no electricity in beirut since yesterday, and private generators are too expensive. how can we survived? the energy sector has been a huge drain on the states finances for decades. it's annual losses reach $1500000000.00 successive government have continued to sustain this system. instead of fixing it. they've subsidized fuel and maintained a bloated workforce as part of the political parties,

patronage networks. the international community has been demanding the restructuring of the sector before it approves financial assistance. there has been no political will. instead, the authorities made a deal with iraq to swap fuel for medical services. and the new government is negotiating supplies of electricity from jordan and natural gas from egypt via syria. but those deals are likely to take months. and it may help ease the crisis, but it won't resolve it. lebanese households have had to put up with daily power cuts till the end of the civil war in 1990. but now the local currency has lost 90 percent of its value. it means only a few are able to afford private generators, while hospitals bakeries and other essential services are in crisis mode. for many here, the electricity company has come to symbolize the corruption and mismanagement, blamed for the economic collapse that has all but paralyzed the country. santa
