the prime minister abbey asked med is holding, hoping to hold on to power. and what was his 1st real electro test? he's described the pulled as he threw up his 1st attempt to free and fair elections . major opposition, policies of boycotted monday's election. while some who remained in the phrase, the ballad boxes were tampered with the sof were attacked from addis ababa. he is mohammed the doe. there were long queues of waters in most pulling centers in several cities across europe, including in the capital, addis ababa. some of the voters started queueing us las for a m local time. and the electoral commission had increase the number of pulling stations across the country to avoid large crowds from gathering at pulling centers to reduce the risk of spreading covered 19, but also to haste and the voting process. it is the 1st electro test for 44 year old prime minister who rose to power in 2018, championing democratic revival in africa, 2nd most populous country, and a break from it's of the city and past, totaling other things. a common oddly so far, but i

i think that is even acknowledged by the supporters of, of abbey. and those parties participate in the election. the chronically difficult socio economic conditions but compounded by the copied downturn and also a debt crisis. and then the civil war in gray. and also growing insurgents is elsewhere in the country. also regional tension over the ground. these rates on stem. and which the don over that diamond over territory, there was a huge amount of work to do. and i think crisis group, we believe that unless it's some program of political reconciliation here, reaching out to those who have been excluded from the political process. and indeed, even though it's, we're in gauge in insurgency, then it's going to be very hard for the prime minister even way, the solid majority to sort of establish the stability needed to embark upon the sort of the political and economic reforms that we believe they are that that is their desired agenda. davidson is a senior and i was the international crisis group and we appreciate your time, so thank you very much in

william, good job with this election is prime minister abbey. i'm its 1st electoral chest. it comes at a critical time for the country, doesn't it? so high potent is this vote in terms of democracy for the country? well, we're not going to get much democracy from this book because already the outside observers are pulling out major powers of expressed great concerns. many policies in parties are calling for boycott and 25 percent of pulling stations will be open tomorrow for some of the reasons that you reported was talking about. so a number of vp of been analysts are saying these elections will not be free, fair or credible what it's really about is using the elections to consolidate power and an effort to make the more stable it risks, making it more unstable. yeah, and the conflict config right, is causing a huge alarm with increasing violence reports of widespread famine. i mean, i'll be on the promised a swift military campaign, but that didn't happen, william phone. so how is to grow playing into this election? do you think? well, not only was it not a swift ending,

i think abbey is right.hink at a minimum, what biden wants to do is demonstrate to manchin that a good-faith effort was made and they're not there. but i think i was interested in amy klobuchar's comments a few minutes earlier saying that manchin has indicated he might support reforms of the filibuster that will make filibustering legislation harder. and there has been talk bouncing around over the last few months about whether there might be a specific carve-out for voting legislation as there is for judges and maybe that will be an avenue. but right now it is a tough road forward. >> david axelrod, abbey phillip, thanks very much. coming up, what to make of the remarks by retired general michael flynn. seeming to call for a military coup in the coming months. do they qualify as sedition? that is next when we continue. it would be cool to ride a horse on the moon. to make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. we believe the future of energy is lower carbon. and to get there, the world needs to reduce

abbey's not alone. researchers surveyed half a million people in england. to have at least one symptom that lasted for 12 weeks or more. the study didn't look at the severity of these symptoms but considered 29 different problems, ranging from muscle aches and chest pain, to headaches and tiredness. persistent symptoms were most common in women, older people, smokers and those living in deprived areas. researchers warn the long—term consequences could pose a major challenge for the health service. our clinical colleagues are working out what the conditions they are seeing that's part of the syndrome, and it's only through getting greater understanding, more research, including actually trials of treatment, that we're really going to understand how to improve management and treatment of the condition. more than 80 long covid clinics, like this one in surrey, have been opened across england, and the government has provided £50 million for more research. the long covid clinics are great. i've onlyjust been referred and i haven't been given any proper help yet.
