aah! al jazeera with disillusion voters, as polls closed in iraq, signs that turn out in the parliamentary elections could be one of the lowest on record. ah, i'm darn jordan, this is al jazeera la you from dough are also coming up. the taliban says it's agreed to allow the us to send a draft canister after a successful meeting and cattle. ah, a quote in poland, challenges the country's e u membership, but many say they do not want to lead the block less. i'm scott hiler in thailand,

feet south home to nearly 20 years of fighting between our separatists and the army . we take a look at a proposed law in torture and how it's being received. ah, the wrong parliamentary election that is to have had 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. the electoral commission is promising fairness and transparency. as ballads accounted, ali hash reports now from baghdad. the end of a long day in iraq, which so brought us stricklut through pulling stations to elect a new parliament. what longer days may lay ahead does now be up to politicians and whoever boxed them outside iraq, to agree on it, you prime minister the falls. how close avenue out in iraq. this falling machines

are now going to issue the detailed report with who one who lost the turnout void votes. later on there will be a manual vote manuel town 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 electoral commission. god and hannah. i'm a little fella, the voting process was over at 6 p. m. and now we're getting results from the 2 devices, the verification device and the optical scan with god's 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 short, iraq is, are in, convince 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 hung was not sufficient. and i hope 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 a luck. and 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 thought. i did not vote to be honest. it's not worth it. there's nothing that could benefit me or others. i see youth that have degrees with no jobs for the elections. they all came to them after the elections. who knows? that said dominant view among many young people. what some, all the iraqis still have hope. if you one years old, because i made this, are the strip over the says, believing it's worth it. love you love aguilar and the past parliament didn't to anything for us, but we hold these tim,

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 you roxley this alisha 0 or that representatives of the taliban say they finished what they're calling positive talks with the u. s. and cut up they be should a statement saying that while the u. s. still refuses to recognize the taliban government, it's agreed to provide humanitarian aid to help afghanistan avoid a looming crisis. the u. s. i said the talk to a candid and professional. the taliban will now meet with a delegation from the european union. natasha name as more now from dell, half 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 the 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, tens of thousands of people have rallied across poland angry at a court ruling which said the parts of e you law are incompatible with a polish constitution. supporters of the you are worried that their government is pushing, pulling towards an exit from the block, where we challenge reports now from also happy to have high, large crowds and e. u flags are plenty, and central war. so and real fears for the countries future we would like to stay in the european union and we are very afraid that, that we are going to,

to the pol exit together with the government of mister kaczynski and the others. it's like, you know, a magician who is playing a young magician who's playing with fire and he doesn't know how to know 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, supporters of 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 the 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 standards. but it is impossible simply because you cannot be at the same time member of the european union and ignore 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 course, like we are like we have done in the last weeks or, and most you have seen that again, we already know false new decisions of the court of justice about the situation in

con, also possible, a daily financial sanction. the constitution now joins issues like judicial reform, abortion, and l g b t writes connected fronts in a power struggle between poland government and the e. u. that's getting worse, not better. norie challenge, how to 0 also. will voucher percept skis editor in chief of visegrad inside that's a think tank. he says the vast majority of poles want to stay in the european union . people are fed up with at least this bar that is gathering grounds here. are fed up with the type of political, a manual handling off of the, of the crisis between poland and the european union. because on one hand, nobody wants to leave the you even supporters of the government. and on the other hand, nobody seems to be able to say a stop to, to, to, to the conflict that prevents bolen from accessing the

a large portion of you funds that were entitled to the reason internal conflict within the government. the government is not a uniform, a structured, it's a coalition government with minority fractions and also some parties around it. and moving much further to the rights, including the calling on the referendum on pull exit. they may be pulling only 10 percent total, but for the government that's a deadly challenge. because we found those parties currently in the coalition. and if they left that without them, the government would be in minority and would need to have early election stat is something that's catching. who wants to avoid? he wants to recapture the right right side of the scene and move as much to the, to the right side that, that there is nothing between him and the wall. yeah, that is in essence the, the problem that we are facing as a country because of the party politics of a particular grouping of thousands of tennesseans, of running against president chi saeed, accusing him of a power grab that,

had been demonstrations across the country since he assumed executive authority, unsuspended parliament, 2 months ago, their affairs, the growing protest could cost him his, his political divisions, to spiral into civil unrest. now in a mood viewed as long overdue by human rights groups, thailand's parliament is expected to pass laws making torture and abduction illegal issues gained renewed attention recently after a senior police officer was caught on cctv footage, appearing to torture a suspect, who liked had died. it's got hotter reports from baton paterny and thailand's deep south has the air of a sleepy town as people begin the day. but there's something more here, something the officials an army want to keep in the shadows for nearly 2 decades along with 2 other provinces. the military has been fighting and armed separatist movement. the deep south used to be a muslim sultan. it today, it has a population of 80 percent malay speaking muslims, some who have been detained by security forces say they were tortured. activist

ismael tate says he was forced at gunpoint to confess to being separatist. the army denies ever using torture. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, calling land. they want to protect themselves. they don't really care about the victims. they deliberately deny all torture allegations have but human rights groups of solid information about torture cases of her mind, me, me, you live. but he sees some good news coming. even though thailand is a signatory of an international convention against torture, enforced disappearance, as it has no laws against it. but a bill will be tabled in parliament next month, proposing such regulation, military leadership here in the deep south hell us. they welcomed the laws and torture enforced disappearances, but they think it's mainly to reassure the public. they say that there have been no abuses by the army because their soldiers are trained to respect human rights and man amendment. we have been operating based on

a good moral compass. it doesn't matter if we have this law, not. in fact, we have been accused of crimes. we did not commit, but according to mar, these are not just rumors. he says his abductors were careful not to leave marks on him to hide their actions. are well, ma'am, one of the offices said, why one you confess? later they told me that i was part of violence incense, but i told him that i was not robber. although i was kick and slap, but i didn't say anything or they're stripped me naked and tied me up. they put a blind von or did they use a rubber band to had my testicles also have heart attacks by separatists are still taking place, but the frequency has decreased. ongoing p stocks have started and stopped several times over the years. never fully taken hold. the army has a big footprint in the deep south to combat the separatists and conduct humanitarian missions to help a lay suspicions of the local people. but ma seals that for some the damage is

already done. more people while wrongfully tortured, suffer ongoing consequences. young people can't return to school, they can't get a job. pet song, birds are commonplace here, displayed in small, ornate cages on show for all to see. it's hope the thailand anti torture bill will afford the well being of it's prisoners. that same transparency. it's got either al jazeera patrone thailand. time for a short break here al jazeera when we come back, a new report finds more evidence of vaccine gender inequality. with don differences in poor countries and lebanon's army steps in to restart, the country's biggest pop. lots more in that status. ah thanks for checking in. here's your weather story for the americas. hello everyone

. we do have about a 5050 shot. this could turn into something tropical, will continue to watch it, and it can vary belts of warmth. then humidity is going to sparked some storms through the mid west into the great lakes. spin gloomy for toronto over the last few days. but hay temperatures well above where they should be average 15, we've got yen for 23 on monday. a few spits in spots of rain across the canadian prairies, mostly confined towards central and northern parts of the area. come monday, i'll tell you what we've seen himself through the sierra nevada and just look at some these low temperatures here. reno 8 degrees salt lake city, just a high of 14, you know those storms in the mid west. they're also joining up with that activity further toward the south texas into louisiana on monday. central america rain is starting to peter out across many areas of mexico, but still heavy falls across the bahamas. nasa, with a high of 27 degrees south end of south america, our rain is falling where we would expect,

but particularly intense through that west coast of columbia, through the colombian andes. on monday, then a frontal system sliding across paraguay rate through to the southeast of brazil. this could spark some serious charts that show up. they ah, the every war lisa, devastating. in fact. tell me environment earth rise, explore some of the efforts to recover what was lost from the syrian scientists. safeguarding one of our most valuable results is these are important samples. we have to make sure they are surviving to the refugees. striving to co exist with nature. okay, so what's going on there is the assimilating. what happens when the elephant thomas life off to conflict on al jazeera lou?

ah, welcome back. a quick reminder about top stories here on al jazeera turner was low in sundays, parliamentary elections in iraq. the electoral commission is promising fairness and transparency as balance accounting. representatives of the taliban say they finish what they according positive towards the u. s. and cut off at the should a statement saying that while the u. s. to refuses to recognize the taliban government, it's agreed to provide humanitarian aid to help us kind of stuff. and tens of thousands of people have run into across poland. mangrio a court ruling which said that parts of the law incompatible with the polish constitution. supporters of the you are worried that government is pushing them towards the exit from the block. now a new report is wanting of a stark imbalance. and the number of women getting the coven 19 vaccine compared to

men. the research by the care international aid group says that in some countries, just one woman is vaccinated for every 3 men. and they found a number of reasons for not being able to get to clinics. they're not getting permission from husbands or male relatives and women are less likely to trust the vaccine safety as also strike in gap between high and low income countries. with more women getting the vaccine in wealthier nations care says it's critical, critical to do more to address the imbalance will alley fatal him as a vaccine ologist and adjunct professor at the university of michigan. he says, there are complex reasons behind the vaccine gender gap. some of this is ada intrinsic to the different countries and different cultures and also the economical, our structure on those countries. and some related also to outside or external effects like the propaganda and the anti back center. ah propaganda that started in

the west and it trickled in and actually was spread into the rest of the world. so in those countries are possibly the, one of the issues is really that the masculine society, which means the man is the everything at the man is the bread winner. and therefore, it is a priority for men to get the vaccine to keep going out to work and so forth. but also there are other things like like for instance, if you are talking about now woman, unless indicated in many of those countries, also the women are staying home. so. and also this issues with the propaganda like infidelity and then effects of the virus and safety of the virus. while these things are not happening in the and the west, especially in the united states, for instance, your see more women than men are vaccinated. and that's because they're part of the workforce are many of those women are in health care in schools and in other our

services are that are, are comprised in mind. the majority of the people in those areas, a group of palestinians are starting a local campaign to protect farmers from israeli settlers at the olive office season this week. they say central attacks are increasing and farmers fear. they'll face more violence during this year's harvest needed. abraham reports from the occupied west back. how come i'm wrong? can only go on his land 4 times a year. israel declared this area, and breen village north of the occupied west bank. i closed military zone in 2016 if near an illegal israeli settlement and he needs and his really permit to enter that the look before was barometer on ripe alo. so they don't generate much oil, but i am forced to pick them now, which means i will lose the season. he hired workers to help him pick as many olives as possible. in the short time his given. his absence from the land prevents

him from tending his crop, but he says, what's worth is that he sees settlers attacking his trees and can't stop them. even when i'm gone saw his land being burned 2 months ago. he couldn't access it. when he was finally allowed to visit his plantation earlier this month, he says more than half of his trees were damaged. while is really authorities site security concerns for not allowing farmers in advance as the goal is to push palestinians out young. if you are old and they want to take it from us, our neighbors who were here left their lines after continuous settler attacks. now they took it over and planted grapes instead of olives just before his permit ended for the day. and john sent us this video of sutler groups attempting to attack him and his workers, human rights organizations have documented a dramatic increase in violent attacks by settlers this year activists. abdulla

missus, new generations of settlers are more violent. so they formed local committees to protect farmers. more of them will. oh god does it most of the time, the israeli army protect the settlers even when they're attacking palestinians. that's why we want farmers to be in groups and not alarm us. palestinian officials say there is an imbalance of power and of called on other states to put settlers on their list of so called terror groups. that lock on humbler and phyllis to this campaign aims to provide protection to palestinian people from settlers terror. we want states to change their domestic laws, so settlers will be held accountable. in the meantime, i'm gone. hopes his to his will be safe until he's allowed to go back to his land. the day abraham elgin's eda he occupied left flank powers being restored across lebanon, following saturdays, totally black out the country, which is struggling with crippling economic crisis. so it's 2 biggest past, asians shut down because of a fuel shortage. the energy ministry says it's received approval for

a $100000000.00 in credit to secure fuel imports. santa had a report from beirut. the state 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 import energy resources. the sun got it again . we used to have electricity for an hour daily. now it is totally cut, we are spending our time out, sought out harms, so our children can have fun. 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. will

hello mother, 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 governments 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 claus. their elders. eda beirut, become revere volcano on the canary islands is continuing to spew nava after a series of tremulous, measuring up to magnitude $3.00. a volcanoes been erupt on the island of la palmer for almost 3 weeks. magma streaming down the flanks as destroyed more than 1100 buildings and surrounding land. about 6000 people have been evacuated from their homes on the alma, which has around 84000 inhabitants. will have okay interrupted after being dormant for 50 years. it's happening in a small them relatively remote location. yes. come all santa maria with some

geographical context. the canary islands are of course, part of spain, but not necessarily close to spain. of that you've got ahead. almost 2000 kilometers as the crow flies to get to the canary islands off the coast of africa. the western most canary island is the one we are looking at the island of la palmer, 40 kilometers, also top to bottom, and a population of $85000.00 people. and it's here right in the middle, we are looking at the country via volcano, actually it's a ridge of volcanoes. that's just the fisher which is opened up here. and as we head down the hill side, that's when you start to see all these houses and structures all in the path of that flow of lava, which we've illustrated in yellow there. and then it continues on down towards the beach. playa del perdido, where of course, all that lava is hitting the water. and now actually creating a new part of the la paloma coastline. you know, something to think about as resume back out again. that yellow line that flow of

the lava from the volcano down to the coast is only about 10 kilometers. and remember, the flow of lava the speed is anything between 30700 meters an hour at a temperature of over a 1000 degrees celsius. so abdul carrier han credited with making pakistan and nuclear power has died at the age of $85.00. he passed away after being admitted to hospital with a long problem. the scientist was hailed as a national hero. but he was reviled abroad for his role in selling nuclear technology to so called rogue states. what up the how many reports he was known as the father of pakistan's nuclear bomb revert at home for building the muslim world . first atomic weapon of dekaiser, the han was vilified abroad in 2004. he was accused by the us of being at the head of a vast, underground nuclear proliferation network that involves selling secret,

know how to iran, libya and north korea. the head of the international atomic agency at the time mohammed el baradei said it's mind boggling. all i know is there is at least 30 companies in 30 countries all over the globe involved in this fantastic sophisticated elicit trafficking network with mr. a. q, him acting as c o. under pressure from washington, hein was put under house arrest and forced to confess a national tv in mind to use with the consort government officials. i was confronted with the evidence and the findings and i, he wasn't really had muted that much of it is to and it could it. my dear brothers and sister, i have chosen to appeared before you who offer my deepest english and unqualified apologies. born in india and emigrated to pakistan in 1952 a day, just 16. but the religious vide, as he had witnessed during the partition of india,

would have a lasting impact on his world view. a few years later, he left to study material science and technical university in west berlin. he then did a ph. d in science engineering, in belgium, before settling in the netherlands. but in may 1974, india surprised the world when it announced its 1st nuclear test. at turning point for hannah, he became consumed with the idea that pakistan should also develop its own atomic bomb. as soon returned to his home country, he was instrumental in setting up pakistan's 1st nuclear in richmond, plant. a crucial step on the way to pakistan, becoming the world 7th nuclear power. ah, and hum became a national hero. even after the revelations that he shared secret information came to light pakistan was in shock, but willing to forgive had,

who later withdrew his confessions with all the extent of his involvement in the illicit nuclear trafficking will remain unclear. but for many in pakistan, abdul cather kind will be remembered as the man who restored the nation's pride. without the hamid al jazeera. ah, dr. kit, you got the headlines here on al jazeera turnout was low in some days, parliamentary election in iraq. the electoral commission is promising. fairness and transparency as ballots are tallied. the vote was supposed to be held next year, but was brought forward in response to mass anti government protests. early result should start coming out later on monday, m o r. from the yeoman with adam crush over to let you know, we have been open and honest with the public and counting the boats manually in line with the law. and we've been transparent.
