the, the ah, was use this is the w news live from this election day iran citizens go to the polls to choose a new president for the republic. but with nearly all the reformist candidates bars from running, what choice do people really have? also coming up millions of people, sled walls, and other crises off the if, even if cove at $900.00 close borders worldwide. a new un report now shows the number of those uprooted had doubles injustice. the terrorists tried to

look back tourists after a year of covert devastation. prices flashed and deals the bound. but the crowd have yet to return. the me i'm get health as well come to the program. voting is on the way in iran and a controversial presidential election. these voters in tehran lined up to cost that balance spot overall turn out is expected to be exceptionally low. it was widespread accuracy, hundreds of candidates including prominent moderates. what bob from running. many voters are also angry of the impact of international sanctions, unemployment and hotline religious rule. 3 or 4 candidates are viewed as hard life, front runner, abraham racy, is one of them. the also conservative cleric is a staunch i, and protege of the supreme leader i told are the common

a the abraham race. he 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 boat out to boost his chances the few relatively unknown rivals still in the running? no, they don't stand a chance against the truck. when the services head of the judiciary, they only serve as a backdrop to give rise even one thing only lacking so far. democrats to missy

teddy again. as a result, many iranians feel they have no real choice at the ballot box. not so much again, i'm not taking part in the election. 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 public dissatisfaction and high inflation. no one's living in comfort and peace and the government never keeps its work level. paradoxically, this increases raise his chances of winning even further because he runs most 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

for me on this and still talk response. there is a trouble who filed a report that we just saw at teresa. you frequently report from iran, you know, the country very well. this election doesn't really offer a choice, does it? no, it doesn't look like this year. iranian type even less choice than in the previous election, where they could choose between hotline candidates and the farmers. this time they can use the hotline running the only exception they'll be stand in for one. patient is going up and not even acknowledge you was also for my head of iran central bank. and he's promising poverty if he's elected by increasing the economic corporation with the international community. that alone makes more read by iranian standards, but he's not very well known in iran. and you also pale to excite the wrong young and educated motors up to the point and make them go to the turn out is also

expected to be a problem to be very low. we've heard about some disillusion voters why iranians currently so frustrated. many of them just feel like voting doesn't make a difference at all, especially since they thought that the current president made some promises promises before he was elected. but he couldn't fulfill them when he was an officer because the countries compared with the minister in the way, and also the us and ministration under donald from iran, the currently even worse to ation than it was or in years ago. so most iranian feel that this election kind of make a difference because the next president will not be able to change anything anyway . and that's why a lot of younger running don't want to broaden the broad and change that being somewhere else. but this voter apathy and if it possibly possible low turn out,

what will that mean? would that mean for the legitimacy of that boat while the islamic republic considered that so at least possibly a democracy? so if an elected president does not have the backing of that inaction that is a problem to a degree. so for example, if you raise, you know, when the selection but has left votes, then last time when you lost a current presidential honie, that was not good. certainly that could mean that public anger after was even protest. and that was the problem with both to the public itself because it has faith legitimacy questions in the past years, but also to bring right the because it will diminish his ability as president and also question and a question in the ability for the top of that many people

say i in the law, turn that on a as a pre meter. okay. ron ron specialist tourism. thank you very much. the number of people fleeing was violence or civil disorder rose again last year. and even at the corona, virus pandemic brought much of the world to stand still. by the end of 2020, there were 82400000 people forcibly displaced from their homes. as, according to the united nations refuge agency that's double the number of decade ago. well then 2 thirds of those officially recognized as refugees came from just 5 countries, serial venezuela, south sudan, and me unmarked. people who have said, i've got to start make up one of the world's largest and longest standing refugee populations. 1.4000000 lives a neighboring pakistan was hosted display staff guns for, for decades. earlier we spoke to chris smith steps,

both person for the un refugee agency. we asked him what the biggest drivers were behind this rise in refugee numbers. 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 are still from syria, 6700000. the spot is also due to that country gone south. so these are all of these, these drivers, the development the, the plus is this year not, not that big like another use that yes, $82400000.00. that is the complete all the habit of germany, or one percent of the human kind is now refugee or the paper that was christmas a spokesperson for the us refugee agents. and now let's have

a look at some of the other stories, maybe headlines around the world. and com, please have jobs. the chief editor and chief executive of the pro democracy tablets, apple daily. with foreign collusion, bozeman and 3 other arrested in arrayed on the media verdict is seen as another flow to press freedom in the territory. israel has launched s strikes in garza for a 2nd time this week. the army says it targeted funds belonging to the militant group, hamas off the palestinians, launched in finance. incendiary balloons into israeli territory territory for 3rd straight day. the violence threatened a french, i'll see spot that ended 11 days fighting last month. my son with a gun fight between rival gangs inside the prison in honduras has less at least 5 people. day 15 inmates enjoyed the relatives gathered. i'm waiting to hear use of the gunman in nigeria have kidnapped

at least 18 students. 5 teachers from a school in the remote town of burn in our re and cavies state, one police officer was killed in the raid. it's the 3rd mass, abduction in the countries north west and just a few weeks. authorities blame, armed groups seeking runs and payments. police spokesperson says security forces was such a nearby forest for the missing students, and the teachers will not join by the w corresponding flores to work. in lagos floes. what more can you tell us about the abductions? well for now we have very limited information about the abductions. we know that close to a 100 today sick is not about 80 students now from the federal government college in kegan and one,

plenty model for shaking was killed in the process. now this is not the 1st key now, like you mentioned, this is about the 3rd one in just resend weeks. a nearby cutting athletes about $800.00 islamic students were also keyed. not those was have them being found. yes . and some students from a university college and i see where we sent me re nice meals, of dollars paid as run so by the parents to read this today. so as you mentioned, it's the abduction and just a few weeks. why does the government seem unable to prevent these raids? well, the government in the 1st place thinks to be struggling with keeping up with all of this read because of the security shot. my interior carry c

major have to carry 2 forces cannot handle the level of of bond the tree and everything that is going on. i'm 12 by 12 i see because a lot of who i just need to make money. so it seems like the problem is bigger than what we can do on the government's is not honest enough to come out and ask for help for support in the lego. there for us. thank you. flores in the us. the supreme court has dismissed the latest republican lead attempt to overturn the national health law known as obamacare. decision means that affordable health insurance for tens of millions of americans will remain intact. the affordable care act was passed 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 of 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 app, 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 were 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 it, and i mean, millions continue to suffer from obamacare while we're trying to support 18 republican legs. 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 lawsuit 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. good morning. good morning. once again, the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of the affordable care act and the transformational jacksons that it provides every american with the ruling protection 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. germany in this market, 80 years since the nazi invasion of the soviet union. the surprise attack on june 22nd 941 would become the biggest and bloodiest front and world war 2. and, and, and nazi germany is complete destruction by the end of the war and estimates it's $27000000.00. soviet citizens have died including 14000000 civilians. from the beginning operation, barbarossa, the invasion was dubbed, was conducted as a war of annihilation. the germans also treated sylvia prisoners of war brutally that were executed, that starved or died on forced marches from the front lines. the nazis took some 5700000 soviet prisoners of war. over the course of 4 years is estimated that more

than 3000000 soviet p o w died, making them one of the largest groups of nazi victims. and germany as president has been a marketing that somber anniversary. here in berlin front. by the time i attended the ceremony at the german russian museum in the capital in his speech stunned my address criticism from former soviet republics that ukraine has been that dead victim millions of victims in world war 2 were neglect, neglected by germany in the common ration activities that install, that was the act of remembrance, if not carried out, carefully, could themselves lead to new divisions. me. it was as organ dusty and i'm very concerned that the painful history we are remembering today is in itself increasingly becoming the source of aaliyah nation. so come on and crammed on 5th, then the bricks of when looking back means focusing solely on our own national

perspective. when the exchange on different perspectives on remembrance comes to a hold or is rejected. even writing history becomes an instrument for new conflict, of the object of new forms of resentment. done the safe side on some instrument, lawyer conflict to some getting stand noir of us on the most desert. i certainly believe that we must not allow history to become a weapon so that germany is president funk by this time speaking, then, now joined by the w political correspondent, need to talk about this new found. that seems to be saying that it has not been enough awareness of the crimes committed against the population of former soviet republics, like ukraine or a bed arose. what does he mean? while he said in his speech, he gave a very personal example that growing up as a young boy in western germany, he was completely unaware that there had been

a prisoner of war camp just a few kilometers away from his homes just 2 decades previously. and that issue was not addressed at school. parents didn't talk about that chapter. he said. and so this is just one of the examples where he criticized germans for not paying enough attention to that really painful chapter in the history. and to be honest, he said the remembrance didn't change until a few years ago, the attention paid to the eastern victims of the nazi past until jem reunification . and since then, germany has tried to better integrate the commemoration of those atrocities into the collective remembrance of the nazi past. but of course it is difficult to deal with. and of course, sometimes it does lead to diplomatic tensions also because the geopolitical map has changed compared to what it looked like a 2 years ago. and they are now conflicts between some of the countries that used to belong to the same blocks to the soviet union. if you take the military conflict

between russia and ukraine, for example, or the fact that the baltic states, some of them have now, they have now joined the european union. and so in fact, today's event was also overshadowed by the conflict between russia and ukraine before the event, the ambassadors of 7 out of 15 of the countries that another successes of soviet republic said that they were boy caught today's events. because they say germany is not differentiating enough. and for that germany equates the soviet union too often with what is modern. russia wasn't a russia alone. so is that going to change then what concrete actions is germany taking? well, it is baby steps of course and is like, i say the process did start off the gemini unification and high ranking politicians in germany have tried to stop by actually going to those places going to those prisoner of war camps. presidents time my himself with foreign minister before he became president and in that position he was, for example,

was the 1st german politician taxi commemorate the victims in bella. ruth, on a trip that to the biggest concentration camp during soviet occupation that is located near min, scanned that history completely, risks to be forgotten. so time i kept going to those places. i went to vulgar, grabbed as well, where he met with war veterans and germany, politicians. and i was saying in their speech is that it was part of the nazis official plan to kill the population in the east and get rid of entire nations that way. political correspondent houses, i think, you know, portugal is capital is looking down for the weekend following a spike in covey. 19 faces, latest figures from lisbon accounts for 3 quarters of new infections detective nationwide. starting friday afternoon, residents will only be able to leave with a valid reason. flights out of lisbon at fort exempt from the ban, as if as

a work related travel authorities believe the highly transmissible delta variant is driving the search. well, france is reopening to for interest. after the pandemic devastated business, the capital paris is enticing visitors with bargenson on usually empty museums. but as the w 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 return? it shouldn't hesitate and just come to paris, we'll help them find the bearings here. the do and all the other paris is such a pleasant city and more and more of us to help visitors. this makes me happy, some about the buddha. up to $500.00 of them will be deployed this year in an effort to kick stop tourism again after a visit to numbers plummeted by 2 thirds last year. but the tourists who normally

represent a large share of the cities, visitors, people from asia, and the us might be a bit longer incoming, or sweat school or model of the movie. the more 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. so she'll know how many hotels are trying to learn in the locals with special deals, with some luxury establishments 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. people. with this pandemic, people have understood that they needed to disconnect from reality. such as special offers aren't necessarily so important for me. we need to breed 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. say dave, i'm only dicky for a majority. this seems like people have flipped since the beginning of the code with 1900 crisis and realized that they needed nature to reconnect to who they are . we can't keep up with the demand and, and now planning to construct an additional 5 cabins by the end of next year. it will reflect new will given that 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 was biggest museum furnace makeup, 3 quarters of visitors. but to you to play with 19 restrictions, 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 leuva is true for other sites in the french capital. you no longer have to queue for hours, and that's might be the most appealing tourist attraction of all. lisa louis reporting that it was by japan's top medical expert as well. and that holding the olympics during the cove at $900.00, pandemic could increase infections and that the band on spectators was the least risky option. but took you organizers, want to allow up to 10000 people, elliptic venues. government is lifting the date of emergency in the capital on sunday. doroty also said to relax current, some 7 alco tokyo 2020 starts on july 25th. so football, news, england, and scotland pretending to rekindle the oldest rivalry and wealth football in
