and i'm fine, give me one moment here cuz i see the the news . this is the w news life from berlin, its election day in iran, deposed clothes in the presidential election and the nomic republic. but with nearly all the former candidates from running choice to people really have also on the program, millions of people flag was and other try see last year was covered $900.00 close borders around the world. a new un report shows a number of those approaches has doubled just a decade,

french presidency manual math, chrome, physics, german, chancellor. i'm going to medical and possibly the last time before she steps down in september. so what is in store franco? just friendship. wild back causes habit rampages to a city and hold in japan entry the military company to disrupting flights. ah, me i'm feel welcome to the program. polls have closed and iran's presidential election, but a number of pulling stations have extended the hours to allow for made come as turn i was expected to be low because of widespread apathy after hundreds of candidates, including prominent moderates, were bought from standing photos are also angry. about the impact of international sanctions, unemployment and hard line rule. a new day,

but not a new dawn. as the curtains rose at around selections, the old guard remains firmly in control. supreme leader, i told the company, casting his vote after barring hundreds of performance candidates from running with their choice is limited. many have decided to stay away from the fools turn night is projected at a record low mine. because whether i do or not, someone has already been elected. they are only organizing the elections for the media. posing for the cameras, the man likely to become around next president hard lane candidate, abraham very easy is poised to succeed. the moderate has sandrani shifting power even further towards the conservative clerics. this will leave the hardliners in charge of negotiations to revive and international deal to limit runs in nuclear

enrichment. those who did turn out to vote lament the crippling us sanctions imposed after the trump administration withdrew from the deal mobile and about michigan that we don't have an issue with the way the election is run or with the regime. but the state of the economy has been hard on us. this problem should have been solved jimmy short. if a runs new government feels to address its economic woes, accuse could be even shorter. next time pulls open. let's take a look at this with journalist and political analyst at nigga motors ave, who host the iran podcast and joins us from washington. d. c. welcome to the w. let's. let's start with the presidential candidates. iran's guardian council whittled down. hundreds of candidates, just sat and then for dropped out. so what does this tell us about the direction

that's the country supreme leader was the country to take? well, the hardliners who control the guardian council, the watch dog, is responsible for qualifying where disqualifying seemed to be attempting to consolidate power and cut any true competition or rivalry in the election for every hard line favor. because elections and one have never been free or fair, but they have been competitive, has been some years competition in some of the previous elections and everything. right. in fact, we ran once before in 2017 and he lot to have found roll money. so this seems to be a clearing off the path for him to an easy victory and preventing another american . this be for the current had to do this year, which is rice. okay, so this is something that often gets overlooked when, when we're looking at iranian iran's movements in the world. the idea that there are power struggles within the regime. definitely,

there are power struggles. we have to remember the supreme leader, the person in power is a hard liner. he's our line person and power and usually the perception that it's a one man show it's one hard line or show, but there are definitely struggled within the political system. the moderates on their form is have had, have created some serious challenges to the hardliners and the conservative, but this seems to be the sun seems to be one more time to sort of consolidate power and marginalized as many reformists and moderates who can create this serious challenge to the hard line grip, and we have seen some of the criticism and cortez to this mass disqualification even coming from central politicians. someone like donnie was not really a reformer himself. he's been a centrist hardliner, but even he was disqualified from the rate in sphere that he could create real competition for everything. right. i'm willing to tell us about ever having raised

this man who is likely to be the winner. what can we expect from an iran led by him? sure, let me just make note here that it's still early to call, even though the moderate him. he is the under dog, but one license have also been full of surprises. so i'd like to wait until the end of the voting, which will just extend this for a few hours to see, but seems like every night and very high chance of winning this election without real strong competition. he's the current head of due to sherry and ultra conservative hard line a member of iran traditional system for the past 4 decades with a very controversial pass. he had a record of growth violations of human rights and member of a death committee in the 19 a be responsible for ordering massive exclusion of iranian dissidence. so his presidency as potential president is going to make things very complicated for iran,

especially wrong engagement with the world. and specifically with the what with, with the united states and european allies, when it comes to issues beyond the nuclear deal, which is something that they are discussing right now. and it's very clear. thank you so much for outlining that for us. and i got most of, excuse me, mega, most is ali. thank you. of the number of people fleeing was violence or civil disorder rose again last year. even as the corona virus pandemic brought much of the world to a standstill. by the end of 2020, 82400000 people had been forcibly displaced from their homes according to the un refugee agency. that's double the number a decade to go. a more than 2 thirds of those officially recognized as refugees came from just 5 countries, syria, venezuela, afghanistan, south sedan and mana. and this report takes us to pakistan,

which has hosted hundreds of thousands of african refugees for 40 years. the hard in hon, runs a small grocery store in this refugee camp in pakistan. every day he checked his income and expenses. he was about the same age as this child when his family, that kind of done some 40 years ago. today, it's a distant memory. what a the young that we had. so that's kind of there was a war going on. so when the situation became one school for the guest on took a saying when the thought and we have been able to live here like the harvey, but her to say fled 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. more than

a 1000000 afghans live in pakistan. they're largely on their own. oh no. yeah. you would be lying. if i said we got financial support, let go. the truth is, we don't get any aid from the pakistani government, not alone. now for the 1st time, pakistan is registering the african refugees residing in the country. registered refugees issued a biometric identity card. many children born here have never been registered to its hope. the data will give in to national agencies a clearer picture of the needs in the refugee community. we are collecting a most updated information such as educational vocational

skews, also maybe language. it also just up with that information also comes out to better design wrong. a box, not only in the pad you found was enough guns. some went to africa. you talk to stony or sorry, cheese of trying to encourage refugees to return home. nadine and jobs is 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 going to question as if the situation in afghanistan normalizes. and do they want to leave 90 percent of the refugees answer with a no, they do not want to go back to their home country. the hand didn't fit the house in

con one thing clear. he will only return home if this piece chris meltzer speaks the un refugee agency. he told d w where most of those migrants and after they leave their homes, most of the refugees and the direct neighboring country, free call. the record sheets are in the, in the infinity of the, of that home because they would love to go back the hope that they could go back and 86 percent. so almost 9 out of 10 reps. she's living in developing countries countries. we who have already a lot of problems. let's take me on. it's about 1000000 record sheet for me by my dish. the dish is also a country. that is, this is really not rich. and indeed, the question is, if the can is pressure direct, she's not only by the dash, but it was countries if you can stay on the possibility to, to product that this is indeed one of the crucial questions. take

a look out some stories making news around the world protesting palestinians at the isle. axa mosque compound in jerusalem of clashed briefly with israeli police. 3 people were injured. hundreds demonstrated after friday prayers in response to rally helped by jewish, ultra nationally in the week rivers around the biggest city and brazil's amazon main forest as well to levels. i've seen a modem with century. the flooding has displaced more than $30000.00 people and comes as large areas of brazil face to be a drought. united nations general assembly has elected antonio terrace for a 2nd 5 year term, a secretary general, taking the oath of office. he said he would work to build trust between large and small nations promise to draw on the lessons of the cove in 1900 pandemic. probably a belgian court has ordered astrazeneca to deliver 50000000 cobra, 900 shot to the european union by late september, that it was far fewer than the wanted both sides have described the decision as

a victory. better swedish pharmaceutical firm faces signs of 10 years. the missing sho doses are not delivered on time. brown bear has been shot dead in the japanese city of support after rampage through a residential area of hours for the se, if attacked and injured for people, including the soldier. after skating the fence of the city's military barracks. the drama prompted a stay at home alert from authorities. so it was wild brown bears are somewhat unwelcome visitors in japanese cities. but it seems this one, it didn't get the memo. and wild animal coast havoc in support, prompting several school closures and even flight cancellation. after he made his way across the local airport. he most likely journeyed away from his forest home instead of food. but he attacked 4 people along the way. luckily they suffered only

minor injuries. one unlucky victim was a soldier at this military camp. he was attacked after the bear clawed its way over the fence. locals received quite the shock. i looked side of a window and saw the bear running straight towards me. i thought i might break the window. i was done with the police and residents alike took up arms, saying, extermination was the only way to keep people. i took harm's way. after 8 hours on the run, the rogue visitor met his unfortunate demise. but at least the locals can rest easy in their beds, knowing they'll live to tell the tale. german chancellor, anglo american has that welcomed friend, president emmanuel, macro to berlin. the holding talks ahead of next week's european council meeting in

brussels. pandemic restrictions maintenance is the 1st time this year. the chancellor has welcome to visit from abroad and it's likely that this will be their last formal encounter. johnson who is not standing for re election in september get more from d. w political come correspondent, manual sha, welcoming manual. so the french president was chancellor metals, 1st foreign guest this year. does this tell us anything? well, if anything, it's just how important the french german relationship is for the 2 leader. because just in my, my call did 4 years ago just after he's election right after he's election. he came to billy and he flew to berlin to meet and get america. whether 1st a visitor allowed back in, at the chancery after the share of panoramic easy manner. my conduct just goes on to show that the dyna, the french german dialogue is very important for both leaders. not only for europe,

but also in the bilateral relationship between the 2 countries. ok, as we expect present macro was full of praise for the franco german, a lives let's hear a bit said call the national for this franklin corp. once again, the 7 in nature summit, which we just haven't completed you together, we want to define the european policy that is coherent and shows responsibility in terms of our topic and values that we incorporated into the corporation with our allies and major economists powers democracy with whom we work, the policy should also reflect the european preference as we already have philip in want to know and manual shows how much is this grand alliance between france and germany? how much is actually achieved? well, it did achieve a lot during those 4. yes, ma'am. i can say that in terms of e, you defense, france, and germany went

a bit further done before that was now. and the, when i say the french president of europeans put in need of a strategic autonomy in terms of defense by the europeans themselves. so that's a step forward angle america. so say that she was very happy that there was a new corporation, a trans atlantic corporation between you and the us up has been achieved by a constant dialogue not only from france and germany with the u. s, but also a european diner with the u. s. but for which france and germany were instrumental . there's also a lot of common ground when it, when it comes to foreign policy elsewhere for us on germany said on c, i to i as to how to communicate with russia, for example. and both leaders acknowledge that this would be a challenge for the time being. but for example, when it comes to turkey, when it comes to syria and libya, the reason come on will to so issues such as migrations and you interest in the

near and me, the least, there is a common ground there. right. and as a chance to michael steps down in september, how is the relationship between the 2 countries likely to be affected by her departure? well, one thing if i showed a french german relationship, survived many presidencies, many chancery over the years. it will undoubtedly continue again. but of course, with america stepping down in september and m as in michael o, so either re presenting. so again, i was the president or not we will see changes. we don't know yet. this is a great known, but the french relationship should survive another presidency. another and another chancery even without gl america, then perhaps without them under michael. thank you for that correspondence. manual shows. this is the w news. i from barely still to come works

the beach with cub intersections, keeping tourists away. digital know, matt's got a warm welcome in resort towns in the since means so, so here's, look at some developments in the current a virus pandemic starting. and you gander, which is tightening lockdown measures to try and stem a certain infections. cubs include a ban on private and public transport only vehicles carrying cargo, all those transporting the sick or essential workers to be permitted on the roads. italy's prime minister mario druggie has urged italians to get fully vaccinated. acknowledge us an early decision to ban astrazeneca shots for over 60 year old. of course, some confusion. it's we abruptly restricted the use of the astrazeneca vaccine last week. following the death of a teenager and face masks will mostly no longer be required in the netherlands from next week after fall and the number of cove in 1900 cases. most limits on group sizes will also be lifted from the 26th of june. as long as people maintain at

least a one and a half meter distance. and francis reopening to the foreign tourists. after the pandemic, devastated business, the capital paris is enticing visitors with bargains and unusually empty museums. but as the w lisa lewis reports, the city has found 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, hear the song we do, and all the other. paris is such a pleasant city and more and more of us to hope visitors doing this makes me happy . some of the, you know, up to $500.00 of them will be deployed this year in an effort to kick stop tourism again after visiting bras. 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 school or more of the movie, the more we would like everybody to come back to paris. but we are obviously aware that french and european choices are likely to be the 1st one back, as it still easier for them to travel. some potentially on up to 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. 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 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 dickie for i'm as always, it is. it's 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 cabin by the end of next year to go fuck new. well, given this, she learned portion, and yet some might argue this is exactly the right time to visit paris or other cities. here at the level of the world's 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 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. upon debit lockdown to put office life on the hear haters for many workers in cities across asia. after months have been stuck at home. some have planned that escape and in the philippines i found a warm welcome in resort towns where the local economies nose dived, covered 19 travel restrictions and largely cut off tourism. but as these digital nomads found out, sometimes all you need is a why fi connection and the dream. the beach own alone unit where the welcome mat stretches for miles. there's friends, sand, and sun. and the commute to the office just stepped away.

9 months ago this started executive fled what he calls his prison apartment and manila, and landed here. and he has no plans to leave. i didn't realize how stressed out and anxious i was about the pandemic until i got here. so here on the beach with a mask on and realize that like nobody else kind of doing it and really no reason for you to do it unless you're here. i'm next to people. many of manila digital workers are escaping to deserted beach towns like this one. the pandemic was been nudged. they needed to say good bye to city life for tanya mariano and her boyfriend. a view like this just might seal the deal for us or kid take away as that movie on here is such

a big quality of life improvement. a fraction of the cost local businesses couldn't be happier. that manila salary can stretch further here without the usual stream. of tourists, they're struggling to survive and the new arrivals flush with cash. keep them afloat. it helped a lot here, especially when low in your in was closed for tourism. basically. you could only really rely on customers from within low in your own. digital nomads are now a target market for the tourism industry. resorts are offering and treatments like high speed internet and well miss activities. just the things that could turn office work on it's head forever. all right, for some and football danish midfield interest in erickson has been released from
