and upfront, it's hard demanding environmental accountability with language emergency, a season of special coverage on al jazeera. ah, as polls closed in iraq signs that turn out and the parliamentary election could be one of the lowest. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera ally from dough are also coming up. ah, a caught in poland, challenges the countries e. u membership. but many say they did not want to leave the block class. i've got hardly in thailand's deeds out home to nearly 20 years of fighting between arms,

separatist and the army. we take a look at a proposed lot torture in how it's being received. ah, people in australia's largest city celebrate also along cobit 19 lockdown, is finally lifted. ah, iraq's parliamentary election appears to have had one of the lowest turn outs 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 ballots accounted. alhashan reports now from baghdad. the end of a long day in iraq, which so brought us, trickled through pulling stations to elect a new parliament. but longer days may lay ahead to now be up to politicians, and whoever boxed them outside iraq, to agree on a new prime minister, the falls. how close avenue out in iraq this falling machines are now going to

issue the detailed reports with who one who lost the turnout? void votes. later on there will be a manual 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 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, the ana, martha, 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 that 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 on made this or the strip over the says, believing it's not him

a vacuum on the past. parliament didn't do anything for us, but we hold these terms. 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 your walks leaders or yeah, sure, my 0 or that will as a must off as a pro democracy activists based on a bill in iraq's kurdish 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, to have in our educational system. but we did not have that. so one of the reasons why 2 years ago there was the protests, it was because young people wanted their basic rights for 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 science 3 days ago. and, and journalist how go moving 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 baghdad. i mean, other parts of iraq is very stable. so that people, there are really scared of speaking now because they, they have 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 losing hope. for us says the focus of its talks with the taliban, him cats are, were security and terrorism concerns. the taliban says the 2 days of high level meetings were positive, the u. s. call them candid and professional. and while washington still refuses to recognize the taliban government, it's agreed to provide humanitarian aid directly to the afghan people. the taliban will now meet with a delegation from the european union. tens of thousands of people have rallied

across poland, angry at a court ruling which said that parts of e u law are incompatible with a polish constitution. supporters of the e are worried that governments pushing pulling towards an exit from the block where we challenge reports from also large crowds and e. you flags plenty in central rule . 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 is playing, who is 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. the foundational part of law don't

apply in poland, thomas, opposition, politicians on you, supporters of in mobilizing the turn out here reinforces a central points 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 ok. 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 calls like we're like re f down in the last weeks or, and most you have seen that again, we already know false new decisions of the court of justice about as efficient in color and also possible a daily financial sanction. the constitution now joins issues like judicial reform, abortion, and l. g b t writes connective fronts and a power struggle between poland government and the e u. that is getting worse. not better. very challenge how to 0 also. well, avoid checked percept skis, editor in chief, a vice god 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 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 a 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 collected. 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 without them, the government would be in minority and would need to have early election stat is something that's catching still wants to avoid. he wants to recapture the rights 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, the problem that we're facing as a country because of the party politics of a particular grouping. now it moved, viewed as long as i do by human rights groups. thailand's parliament is expected to pass laws making torture and abduction illegal. the issues gained renewed attention recently after a senior police officer was caught on cctv, appearing to torture a suspect who later died. it's called hydra ports 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 an 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 tay says he was forced at gunpoint to confess to being separatist. the army denies ever using torture. co. oh, co, english. 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 laugh. 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 welcome the laws and torture and force 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. oh well ma'am, one of the offices said, why won't you confess? later they told me that i was part of violence incense, but i told him that i was not wrong. i was kick and slap, but i didn't say anything. they stripped me naked and tied me up. they put a blind for on, did they use a rubber band to had my testicles also ha. attacks by separatists are still taking place, but the frequency has decreased. ongoing peace talks 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. you but ma, feels that for some the damage is already done. it's more of the people who are wrongfully tortured, suffer ongoing consequences. young people can't return to school. the can't get a job. pet song, birds are commonplace here, displayed in small, ornate cages on show for all to see its hope that thailand's anti torture bill will afford the well being of its prisoners. that same transparency. it's got either al jazeera, putney thailand, lots more. so to come here now does air, including a new report, finds more evidence of vaccine gender, any quality with stock differences in poorer nations and tennesseans protest against that president's decision to suspend parliament and assume executive power more on that stainless

reopened and he has a consider, i should say, dominic, her type in the south wells premier that he does expect the close numbers to increase and will find out what numbers are on the rise at a fortnight and the hospitalizations but as i said, he wants to state to move food, and i look at the vaccination lights in sydney, 72 percent of people over the age of 16 has been fully vaccinated when they reach i percent, the premier says he's those restrictions are even more when the numbers to die of cobra cases in new south wales. busy australia's biggest state, they're under 500. once again, we've seen these numbers of type of cases dropping. and the vaccination light has been on the rise. and the new rules, as i mentioned, the only apply to those people who have been vaccinated over 16 years of age of still got masks being worn inside, but not outside. and people are now able to travel further than maybe the boundary of 5 kilometers in what these areas are called at the local government areas. but

not everyone has been able to react. and one criticism of complaint has been from the hospitality industry. i still can't get enough fully vaccinated staff. now, a new report is wanting of stark imbalance. and the number of women getting the coven 19 vaccine compared to men. the research by the can. international aid organization shows in some countries, just one woman is vaccinated for every 3 men. and they found a number of reasons from not being able to get to clinics, to not getting permission from husbands, all male relatives and women, the less log into trust. seen safety as also a striking gap between the high and low income countries. with more women getting a vaccine in wealthy countries were care says it's cook critical for do more to address the imbalance. and he found out miss from the university of michigan. he says there are complex reasons behind the vaccine gender gap. some of that is really intrinsic to the different countries and different cultures. and also the economical are 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. 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 that look like. for instance, if you are talking about how women are, 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 are 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, floods triggered by heavy rains and affected nearly 2000000 people in northern china, at least a 120000 people in shan. she province, but forced out of their homes, crops were damaged and more than $17000.00 houses destroyed. the army and police had been deployed to help with relief and rescue efforts. one person has died during protest, spine fitness groups in chile to oppose the celebration of a spanish conquest 500 years ago. many people across latin america say the event is racist, but he's in santiago, use tear gas and water cannon to disperse protest as from the map poochie community
