those operators has double in just a decade. in france, tries to kick start tourism after the pandemic reduce the trade to a trickle. here at the move of the world's biggest museum furnace makeup, 3 quarters of visitors. but you to play with 19 restrictions. many of these visited from abroad are not showing up. well, workers pound the pavement to drum up business luxury, hotels flashing prices to bring visitors fac, ah, i'm assuming someone's kinda going to help you with us. we start in iran. revolting is under wayne, a controversial presidential election. turnout is expected to be very low. supreme leader, ayatollah ali, for many fact feel decisions to borrow hundreds of candidates,
10:02 am
including prominent moderates from running. there is also widespread anger over the impact of international sanction unemployment and hard line rule. 3 of the 4 candidates are viewed as hard liar hardliners, including the front runner, abraham bracy, the ultra conservative clerk is a staunch ally and protege of the supreme leader. abraham racy has what it takes to make it to the top in iran, the 60 year old received most of his education that religious seminaries supported ayatollah khomeini during the revolution in 1979. and has been part of the islamic republics in a circle ever since. he's got the support of the ultra conservative establishment. and most importantly, iran supreme leader. so when he entered the race to become president racy, immediately became a front runner even more so after any serious reformist and moderate competition was bought from running. and other hardliners bowed out to boost his chances the
10:03 am
few relatively unknown rivals still in the running? no, they don't stand a chance against the truck with just head of the traditional reach. they only serve as a backdrop. give rise, even one thing only lacking so far. democrats intimacy, my study, and again, as a result, many iranians feel they have no real choice at the ballot box. now my shake, and i'm not taking part in the election, said it is we participated for many years and it had no impact on our lives. and the elections are not free with them. so i have voted 3 times before, but what i wanted never came to pass. so this time i'll definitely not vote this public does that effect. and then high inflation, no one's living in comfort and peace. and the government never keeps its word level paradoxically, this increases raise his chances of winning even further because he runs most
10:04 am
conservative voters are the ones that usually do turn up at the pulse. in the long term though, if he's elected, a lack of public support could end up undermining his standing. let's speak now to the author of that report. t w's has a that top us. she frequently reports from iran and joins us for more. hi, teresa. this really seems like this election isn't about any sort of choice for voters. is it mostly not at all this time around. did ronnie have even shorter than in previous life when he got to choose between hotline, margaret before this time around, it's almost exclusively hot. i'm running the only exception the only standard for one demonstration is i've done that for him. marquee a former economic processor, and for my head of iran central. thank you promise that he will fight poverty by increasing economic engagement with a width,
10:05 am
and that makes him already and more by iranian standard. but he is love, very well known inside iran. so far he failed to excite the young and well educated voters. we're looking for change. well, this is one of the reasons that turn out is expected to be very low for this election. we heard from some disillusioned voters in your report there, but tell us more about why radians are so frustrated. many just feel that it doesn't make a difference with the president, especially since they've all the current presidential. honda made a lot of probably before he got elected because both iraq consultants isn't that we do this way. and also the administration under donald trump, who pulled out of the nuclear feel so they don't feel like they can make a difference that so many young iranians rather try to move abroad and change that somewhere else and voting into selection. if people really don't turn out to vote,
10:06 am
what could that mean for the legitimacy of this election? well, the republic does consider itself a democracy, at least partly. so whether or not the president has the backing on the electorate meadows to a degree. and if you bring him right, he went this time around and has let vote than last time when he lost again, presidential money, certainly not look, put in my called public anger or even protest. and that would be a problem both for the design and republic. facing legitimacy, questions in the past. and also it brought him right now because it would diminish his credibility as president. but it was also question suitability for the real tough job in iran, on the dying, in the long term. that successful company in iraq to be leader until the less personally take a look at the international perspective on the selection. if he does,
10:07 am
when is it which is expected? what would that mean for the possibility of revising be around nuclear deal? it would probably not have much of an impact because the negotiations with the international community already in the final stages in all candidates running to they say they support those negotiations. even if you criticize the basement for not being taught them when dealing with a nonsense that only a strong government government led by him. and you also have to keep in mind that you're running the president. it's not the one that makes important decision about the country direction. that isn't state, there's a common name. so it doesn't really make a difference for the nuclear. you who acted in iran today. d, w 's, today's top a reporting for us. thank you. and let's get
10:08 am
a quick round up up. some other headlines now. gunman in nigeria has kidnapped at least 80 students and 5 teachers from a school in the remote town of bidding, jody and kathy state. a police officer was killed in the raid. it is the latest in a series of mass abductions in the countries northwest authorities, blame, armed groups seeking rents, and payments. israel has launched air strikes and gaza for a 2nd time this week. the army says the target sites belonging to the militant group, hamas after palestinians fired incendiary balloons into israeli territory for the 3rd straight day. the violence threatened the fragile cease fire that ended 11 days of fighting last month. and a gun fight between rival gangs inside of prison and who has left at least 5 people dead. 15 people sustained injuries in the fighting relatives of an inmates gathered outside the prison gate. waiting to hear news of last one, the number of people fleeing wars, violence,
10:09 am
or civil disorder rose again last year. even as the court of ours pandemic brought much of the world to a standstill. now, by the end of 2020, there were 82400000 people who were forcibly displaced from their homes. that's according to the united nations refugee agency. and that is actually doubled the number from a decade ago. more than 2 thirds of those officially recognized as refugees came from just 5 countries. those are syria, that is whaler afghanistan, south sudan, and me and mar. though people have fled us ganeth and make up one of the world's largest and long standing refugee populations. 1.4000000 live in neighboring pocket stock, which is hosted displaced atkins for, for decades. the hardy, in con, runs a small grocery store in this refugee camp in pakistan. every day he checks his income and expenses over what he was about the same age is this child when his
10:10 am
family flat afghan has done some 40 years ago today, it's a distant memory what a young that we had out there was a war going on. so when the situation became, was our school for the youngest on took a start and we've been able to live here like how g, by doing so, fled. i've kind of stone after the soviet invasion in 1979. he has lived in the camp ever since. it's one of 20 in this province alone. move a 1000000 afghans live in pakistan. they're largely on their own. so no you won't be lying. if i said we got financial support, let go. the truth is, we don't get any aid from the pakistan government to milan.
10:11 am
now, for the 1st time, pakistan is registering the african refugees residing in the country. registered refugees are issued a biometric identity card. many children born here have never been registered to its hope. the data will give international aid agencies a clearer picture of the needs in the refugee community. we are collecting a most updated information such as educational vocation. that skews also may be wrong. we also just updated that information is also going to assist us to better design wrong of activities. not only in the file was enough gunny stuff wednesday, the town to africa. pakistani authorities have tried to encourage
10:12 am
refugees to return home. nadine and jobs interviewing families to see if they're ready to make the move off. the nato troops leave afghanistan. the new id cards are only valid until 2023. so i'm in a questionnaire. it's a situation in afghanistan normalizes. and do they want to leave? i think 90 percent of the refugees answer with a no. they do not want to go back to their home country. here. for the holiday in con one thing clear, she will only return home if this piece we can speak now to chris meltzer. he's a spokesperson for the un refugee agency. good morning, chris. thank you for joining us. we just saw a report there with afghans who, who fled to conflict. and your report shows appears, mentioning again that the number of people who have been forced to flee their homes,
10:13 am
rose again despite the pandemic. so what are the biggest drivers behind this rise? and this is indeed a very, very depressing numbers. you already mentioned that more than 2 thirds of the refugees from from 5 countries and the most of the, of the refugees from syria, 6700000. the for example, you also knew against the flu, that country gone south, south. saddam, these are all these, these drivers of the development the, the class is this year, not, not that big. like in other use that yes, 82400000. that is the, the complete all the happens, germany or one percent of the human kind is now refugee controlled the paper. and chris, where are the majority of these refugees ending up and are they able to stay where they are?
10:14 am
now the last question is very important. question still the biggest house country for record is turkey with the 3700000 refugees who pound protection from from syria, columbia. it's another country who accepted millions of people package. tom, as you mentioned in the report, uganda and germany's number 5 with 1200000 record sheets on the protection journey that don't make a mistake. 86 percent of all the refugees, 86 percent are in developing countries. and these are very often also countries who also suffer all problems with the amount of trust other things. but anyway, the hosting almost 9 out of 10 refugees. another staggering number, chris, is that more than 40 percent of those who are fleeing our children? many are born as refugees. many are stateless. what kind of impact does that have on the children's futures? this is also depressing and i was many rep if she kept in the dash,
10:15 am
i'm just returning from the field from several refugees around the world. actually, parents telling the us we are luck, generate the be something here. but if the applications that at the chance, well, we don't want to give up the parent of generation as well. that indeed education is the key factor for the, for the children. so these richey will not the refugees that become engineers, pilots, doctors, whatever, handyman. but at least that they have a future and that's why this was a priority for us. unfortunately, quite often we do not have enough money to get more than just basic education. that is indeed troubling. and chris, i want to ask you about something we saw in a report, the prospect of refugees returning back to their home countries. we've also seen denmark, for example, declare parts of syria say for refugees to return for their cancelling residency permits. so what happens to refugees to do returns what are conditions like for
10:16 am
them? well, this is very different from, from country to country when it comes to syria. we don't think the syria is in any way. is safe place again that you can reach for refugees against syria and other places. it might be possible for example, to quote a 1000000 or sheet we turned last year. this is of course, but unfortunately for most of the refugees and about because already she's stay in the neighboring countries always and i hope to go back where they have come from very soon. for many of them, this is unfortunately not in the near time solution. and i do want to come back to germany because you mentioned that this is a country that also hosts millions of asylum seekers did register fewer asylum seekers last year. but the un high commissioner for refugees, philip grundy said inclusion is key. so just briefly, if you can, chris what is needed here to these tools that are needed to make refugees in germany feel at home? we just talked to paula and for the record,
10:17 am
she austria think the same thing. who came from hungary 60 years ago and he's now when joe. 2 integration is a key because record she is treasure. so that's my refugee mom. the language to try to, to, to choose to chance is it also would be the host communities of germany on that case, ought to use this treasure into grace. the people teach refugee language and so on, and then this is the best you can do because integration is one part of the solution for the word like richard problem. chris mauser from the u. n. a c r. thank you for sharing your insights with us today. the u. s. supreme court has dismissed the latest republican lead attempt to overturn the national health law known as obamacare. that decision means that affordable health insurance for tens of millions of americans will remain intact. the affordable care act was passed
10:18 am
during the obama administration in 2010 to address large gaps in health care coverage for americans. we are yeah, this is the moment former us president brock obama announced the passage at the affordable care act. today. after all, the votes have been tally, health insurance reform becomes law in the united states of america. and since that time, american republicans have bow to repeal the act, often referred to as obamacare. this is the 3rd major attack on the health care law taken to the supreme court. and it ended the way the 1st 2 did with the majority of justices rejecting the case made for scrapping it there was some hope among the opponents of obama care that this time would be different. mainly because the court is more conservative now that there are 3 appointees of president donald trump on
10:19 am
it. and i mean, millions continue to suffer from obamacare while with trying to support 18 republican leg states sued over the law. conservatives have always said it is too expensive and have argued that government should stay out of health insurance choices. this time. they argue that charging a mandatory penalty for those without private or public insurance made the entire law unconstitutional. the court disagreed at congress or moved financial penalties for the uninsured in 2017. but the ruin doesn't mean that the health care law is safe from future lawsuits. it just said that the people who brought this last soon didn't have any right to do it. and so, in a sense, the court sidestepped the issue of the constitutionality of the now toothless individual mandate. democrats are praising the decision for good morning.
10:20 am
good morning. once again, the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of the affordable care act, and the transformational jackson's that it provides every american with the ruling pretensions for people with preexisting conditions will continue and lower income people will keep their access to medical care. the u. s. has the highest health care costs in the world, according to the biden administration. 31000000 people have health insurance because of the law. now to the corona virus pandemic, let's get an update on the latest developments there. portugal government says it will seal off the capital lisbon this weekend to try to control rice in case numbers. people will only be able to enter and exit the city in exceptional circumstances. at the u. s, as it will soon ship 80000000 vaccines abroad. and these doses will be shipped when the government is finished allocating them and countries are ready to receive them
10:21 am
. and the german biotech firm sure of acts as it might allow its manufacturing partners to make vaccines developed by other countries. and the doubts over the efficacy of its own shot. france is reopening to foreign tourists after the cobra. 1900 pandemic, devastated business for more than a year. the capital paris is enticing visitors with bargains and unusually empty museums. but as dw lisa lewis found out, the city has some tough competition. paris loves its tourists. that's the message. these young, multilingual ambassadors are trying to spread. why should you have to eat? shouldn't hesitate and just come to paris. we'll help them find the bearings here. the sultan pompey do, and all the other parish and such a pleasant city and more and more of us to hope visitors doing this makes me happy . some i bought the boat up to $500.00 of them will be deployed this year in an
10:22 am
effort to kick stop tourism again. after visits, a numbers plummeted by 2 thirds last year. but the terse who normally represent a large ship, the cities, visitors, people from asia and the u. s. might be a bit longer incoming, or sweat google or a movie that we would like everybody to come back to paris. but we are obviously aware that the french and european choices are likely to be the 1st one back, as it still easier for them to travel. some, please stay on the upper. many hotels are trying to learn in the locals with special deals with some luxury establishment, offering discounts of up to 70 percent. but no offer will convince those already desperate to get out of the city. this french couple have chosen to go to higher ground, 50 kilometers north of the french capital. to talk to with this pandemic, people have understood that they needed to disconnect from reality. such as special
10:23 am
offers aren't necessarily so important for me. we need to breathe and take a step back from work, especially as we've all been working from home for quite a while now, because they are not the only ones who feel the urge to get out of the city, but reservations at these cabins have skyrocketed said i'm only dickie for i mentally 3 different states like people have flipped since the beginning of the code, 1900 crisis and realized that they needed nature to reconnect to who they are. we can't keep up with demand and, and now planning to construct an additional 5 cabins by the end of next year to the fox news given this is any portion. and yet, some might argue, this is exactly the right time to visit paris or other cities. here at the louvre, the world's biggest museum furnace makeup, 3 quarters of visitors. but to do to cave at 19 restrictions,
10:24 am
many of these visitors from abroad are not showing up. that's why you can now even get tickets at short notice and visit wolf payments work. so far, almost by yourself. what's true for the louvre is true for other sites in the french capital. you no longer have to queue for hours, and that might be the most appealing tourist attraction of all. now or port by japan's tough medical experts is worn that holding the olympics during the covered 1900 pandemic could increase infections and that a band on spectators was the least risky option. but tokyo are going to organizers want to allow up to 10000 people, analytics and use. the government is lifting a state of emergency and the capital on sunday. authorities are also set to relax curves on serving alcohol. the hope here 2020 olympic start on july 23rd the european football championships. the netherlands continue their successful
