the corruption scandal i guess rule. but i think that that after the almost 4 years of most on our and in several cases of corruption, his government, this has not, this has changed. it's not, it's not in the a weapon that will fire only on one site. maggie finish voted for bull sonata, but for years on she's disappointed with your wall. so in that a silly a year from my boss and our was elected promising to fight corruption, to reduce public spending and to adopt business friendly economic measures. she did the opposite. she is wheeling and dealing to when support and congress something he said he would never do. there is corruption and the economy is in shreds when wallace trying to appeal to disappointed bull. so now to voters by choosing a former adversary and send to right politician,

jet old wall kimmy as his vice president. he's also counting on anger at bull sonatas, denial of the coven, 19 pandemic, which killed 660000 brazilians. and his anti environmental policy, political rapid, burglar, recent polls shown ruler defeating bill. so novel, political analysts, sasha bananas, sheesh says rejection, more than approval will play a major role in the selection. 60 percent of resilience say they do not approve of bull sonata and would never vote to re elect him. lula fear slightly better with 45 percent of voters rejecting his candidacy. it's still too soon to tell who will win this race. but most analysts agree that brazilians will have to choose the candidate they dislike less. instead of the one they believe represents them or will make their future better. monica not give all just 0. so ball. the

later of nationalist party sion fane says her parties election when is a defining moment from northern irish politics, they'll become the largest party in parliament. the storm wand for the 1st time, baiting their pro u. k. unionist rivals. she in vain was once the political arm of the i r a, which been decades fighting against british rule. but the party largely steve clear of campaigning on irish unification instead focusing on cost of living. precious president, a manion micron has promised to unify france following divisive election campaign. speaking after being sworn in for his 2nd term. he said his country is dealing with unprecedented crises, including war in europe and his name, barbara reports microns promised to avoid the mistakes of his 1st term. a military ceremony as the newly inaugurated french president reviews the troops.

but there was no drive down the shore. elisa on saturday was your question, although i believe just a few 100 people, including my calls only surviving predecessors, housewife, launch a nicholas aqua z with their for the swearing in. as you know, the bull festival will act to avoid escalation after russia's aggression in ukraine will act to help democracy and triumph to build a new european piece at a new autonomy on our continent. because the 1st french leader in 20 years to serve a 2nd term is expected to name a new prime minister before leading his rebranded centers. party. now code of on a sauce into june's parliamentary elections will fail to not would be like on the south ecology will act to make our country the great ecological power should be by radically changing our means of production and transport. and our way of life will continue to tackle inequalities at the root by rebuilding our schools and health systems. but many voters are skeptical about his ability to tackle burning issues,

such as rising prices. was my thought in the case and expecting a much bigger social crisis that during his 1st turn in my sort of way, my like the manager that it felt like the 1st mandate was aimed at the richest in society. so i hope we see the trickle down promised during the 1st term take place during the 2nd. the french already have a cost of living problems. some can't afford to feed themselves. so i fear they could be a new yellow vis crisis, but that's a reference to widespread street protests by the june or yellow vests movements which lead to my home promising tax cuts and pension rises. my co also face is a real challenge when it comes to controlling the national assembly. jean luc mellow show hedge the left wing party left on an sumeet france on bout. he almost reached the 2nd round of the presidential vote at the expense of the fall right now he's hoping to be the next prime minister, supported by coalition,

a formal war with ukraine. egyptian army says at least 11 members of the military have been killed in an attack on the sinai peninsula. it says a group of armed men targeted a water pumping station along the suez canal. at least 5 other soldiers were injured. taliban ladies in afghanistan have ordered women to cover their entire body while in public. they say, if a woman refuses to do so, she or her family could be sent to prison or fired from government jobs. they a hunting has the details. a sea of blue in cobble, a group of women gathers at a market. the taliban latest decree is that all women in afghanistan must cover their entire body. when they're outside the home. he does the ha, i'm r o d i go and he, he job is a privilege for wisdom and paused women who jobby. women are protected from disobedience and sins. they'll always be restricted. they'll be protected from evil

. if a woman is seen in public, without head to toe covering she along with her husband, her mail guardian could be punished. this is not the one who has the homes for the women who don't have a job should be known. the men should be advised and warned. the strict enforcement of burka became a global symbol of the taliban rule when it was in power in the 1990s. since re taking control of afghanistan last year, taliban leaders have re introduced restrictions, mainly directed at women. this most recent decree is one of the harshest yet wise is that only one issue is a priority for a part of one. why not? you know, policy and hunger on poverty, on lack of jobs, unsecure. if you taliban leaders have also cracked down on education for girls closing down secondary schools on the same day class was supposed to start you in

human rights. experts say afghan women are facing large scale and systematic, gender based discrimination and violence. see any of the, the demonstrations that have taken place since august when the taliban took up it's, it's been women at the forefront women and girls. and this is intended to ensure that women have no public face. there are fears the strict rules now facing women and afghans stand will likely discourage them from going out in public and realizing their full potential. lia harding, i'll do 0 north career. his 5 was believe to be a ballistic missile on japanese and south korean army later say it was launched into the say of north korea is east coast. it's the 15th test this year, and it comes just days before the norco ration of south korean president elect unit . so robert kelly is a professor of political science and diplomacy at pru son national university. he

thinks it's likely young young wants to send a message to south korea new presidents. so you want to becomes president in a couple of days, i believe on may 10th. right. and i think the idea is to sort of signal to the south koreans, you know, we're still here yet, but seriously, campuses around the north koreans abundance in the past. if i remember correctly when brock obama was inaugurated, there was a test. and i think when park and hey, was inaugurated present south, there was a test drive train with a long history of sort of doing this and it's kind of a mixed signaling and bullying. now i've done a new protest and since 2017, you may recall for a short time donald trump was president and there was sort of an effort to reach out to the north koreans for 2 years. it looked like there might be some kind of a hot break through in the north korean sort of hell off. but that really didn't go anywhere. the north koreans didn't put much on the table to be fair. the americans didn't really either. and so the whole thing kind of came apart, and if you're north korea, you're really not seeing much move and i'm going to go station table. and so your, i presume the thinking is something like we need to keep on escalating north trans,

can't get a decent deal out of south korean, the united states, and they're going to want to really bulk up on the deterrence. and that means a regular testing program. i think the big concern in the last couple weeks had been the north trains have gotten a lot more aggressive. and the rhetoric started talking about using these things outside of defense sorrows. and that's got everybody's scared right. that they may be thinking of using a cramped or something. instead of emergency has been declared in siberia, where at least 5 people have been killed in large forest fires. if flames have spread to several villages in the crest, no yaks. region burning homes. chung winds have hampered efforts to put the mass authority saying it was started by trees falling on to power lines. the weather is next, then. ah, a protest against the congolese president turns violent, but demonstrated dang, they want to be silenced. and a one man race to take hong kong, the leadership after years of turbulence.

because of this unique electoral landscape brought about by her campaign message, radical log. no weather. this will definitely turn into votes. that would be enough to be bobo market junior, that remains to be seen, but clearly now this has become more than just a regular campaign. as many observers both here and abroad of said, read this campaign really has become a people's movement rescue. as in cuba, capital have been digging through rebels searching for bodies after an explosion of luxury hotel. at least 22 people, including and charles were killed in the blast at hotel saratoga in havana, 74 others were injured and it was caused by a suspected ghastly al jazeera john hohmann has moved. here the sound of the explosion ripped prove on his old term, it blew up a big part, the front of the sort of toga. we tow one of the most luxurious, expensive in the cuban capital preliminary
