Protesters are injured in Eastern Libya while calling for the resignation of one of waterloo fastest Security Officials. Because my only concern was to get my books out so that i can study and sit my examinations. On meet the sudanese students determined to succeed in the face of devastating floods. Were going to start though with the story out of russia this hour millions of people casting their ballots in a series of local elections theyre electing members of Regional Parliaments of municipalities and governors as well on the 3rd and final day of voting held over several days because of the pandemic. Well these elections are being held a year ahead of parliamentary polls and are seen as a referendum on president putins popularity the poisoning of russias main Opposition Leader alexina volleys cast a shadow his supporters have been campaigning for candidates who will challenge the government in the elections. This is the 2nd time russians are voting in a major election during the pandemic with a struggling economy and millions of people unemployed there are rare protests as well in the far Eastern Region of cutoffs theyve been happening for a couple of months now theres even a suggestion the unrest in belarus could have an impact the universe got about this in moscow so tell us about i guess the significance of these elections and the fact that. They are going ahead even with the Opposition Leader not not part of them. Well yes indeed these move to level regional local elections that are happening for 3 days in russia are happening in times of economical crisis and then make theyre happening on the backdrop of a couple of months of revis in the far east but also in the face of dropping Approval Ratings of russian president Vladimir Putin and his party united russia now they are seen as a test as what might happen next year for the duma elections and that is for for couple of reasons 1st of all because indeed there were protests and are still protests in the far east of about of earlier the last year there were other process in other regions of russia on the different issues however showing that this at this faction with the authorities on the local level now there are a couple of regions where we might expect some changes because there is a candidates that are backed by the opposition and these are siberian regions and say we are has shown in couple of last years to be very reactive and to have a higher process but then szell than some other parts of russia one should not expect any surprises for eastern for instance in the southern european parts of russia where the local authorities are running tights ships but what we are hearing exactly from these regions is reports of irregularities these irregularities are concerning about like protocols having more votes than actually voters showing up on a concrete polling station or organized voting it is hard to a now estimate of the magnitude of this irregularities but they are recorded and that the opposition has been warning that 3 days of elections actually makes it very difficult for the independent observers to observe and observe them and opens more possibilities of tempering with the votes so but the main point still of this election is to see how certain regions like the hunger in the north of far north of russia. Or 2 regions in the busy same b. Area will go on their governor and Regional Parliament elections whether position candidates will win there or at least entered a 2nd round which in some cases is basically a show of failure for the ruling party even so is it a difficulty for the opposition with everything stacked against that the fact that its major Opposition Leader figure is not there such a big country trying to find some cohesion across that big country against a very strong opponent. Well yes indeed come on you know what this is exactly what the valley has been trying to do for a couple of years already opening the Regional Headquarters across the russia he himself cannot candidate for anything because he has a suspended sentence which basically revokes for years to come his right to be elected on any position his party was not allowed to register it but what he is doing this is a project called smart vote which basically means that they choose a candidate who has most chances against the candidate of the kremlin and they rally the support behind this candidate and this is exactly what he was doing in the novel. Before he was poisoned before he fell ill and the fact that he is one of the main oppositional figures however russian opposition is we can small and the fact that he is now in the hospital not able to a multiday to voters to come might affect the outcome of these elections on the other hand it also might serve as a motivator as brought us to vote exactly because this has happened to him after all in these places say bierria it is not about voting for someone but voting against the on for a team.

The husband of a british Iranian Charity Worker serving a 5 year sentence for espionage in iran has told al jazeera the new hearing on fresh charges against her has been postponed theres been no media comment from irans judiciary and says radcliffe who faces new charges of spreading propaganda against the state of iran in an instant was made when she was close to completing her sentence after being released early because of the pandemic and he was arrested in 2016 was visiting her parents and was charged with working for organizations trying to overthrow the government.

The protesters were calling for the resignation of one of half the Security Officials who they say broke up an earlier round people in the region demanding improve Living Conditions and an end to corruption. Well after a day of ceremony and statements of hope the taliban and the Afghan Government will now get down to the hard work of trying to end their decades of war but as the meeting got underway in cutters capital there were multiple attacks back in afghanistan the government says there were taliban attacks in 18 provinces and the taliban says there were 10 government assaults despite these accusations the sides are being urged to seize an opportunity to secure peace for future generations some of binge of aid with more on these developments 1st of all some of whats going on back in afghanistan is the starkest of remind is that you can talk as positively as you want but the violence can so easily still go on. Welcome all weve been hearing from god the government that 18 provinces have been the time these attacks vary from small arms attacks on of outskirts to a major attacks on posts and checkpoints as well we spoke to the taliban spokesman here from the Political Office and he said he does not have details of these attacks but he also said that this could be part of the government tactics to try and pressure the taliban ahead of the talks there is a large trust deficit on both sides remember that it is taken printed years for them to come to this table so far is no meeting which is being shared you and yet there has been informal interactions between some members of the government led delegation and the taliban but theyre still waiting to formalize how will this go forward is there going to be a 5 Member Committee from each side will that be acceptable to both sides who are the best going to be right now behind me a. Head of the gun delegation is meeting his team members they are trying to devise a theyre trying to come up with their strategy on what theyre going to do Going Forward and something similar is happening in another corner of the taliban are meeting so yes it has been a landmark day for the taliban and the Afghan Government where they have come together but the real work begins now and as you mentioned these attacks and guerrilla tactics have been this way in most of the conflicts that weve covered i remember in syria remember in yemen remember in afghanistan that whenever you were going to words negotiations each side would try to up the ante so the so that it has the upper hand going into the negotiation then asked of the abdullah this last night when i spoke to him and he told me that yes it is going to be difficult the road is going to be bumpy but he is hopeful of a resolution. If there is one lesson out of the recent history of afghanistan recent past 2 decades thats that there is no military solution and our hope is that both sides have recognized this that message to send that this is stage will be late the message to the in this conference that we want we have different views we have a different version for the country but we want to make peace but one then that in order to help our own people and also look at the suffering of the people look at the losses of the people look at the pain that the people of of. Tolerating referred to the numbers in the past few months only since the signing of the agreement with you between the taliban in the United States which was. Which was the main fundamental reason. That the 2 can and situation that we were talking to one at that that is still there when i am talking about the number of casualties its high on both sides its not just one side in to be billeted 2. To 2 q. Their wounds of the people to recover will be sign of strength not inflicting casualties on the people. So there you have it from the leader of the delegation saying that we need to put the Afghan People 1st but both sides have differing views the Afghan Taliban want a set up which is inclusive and have them. At the table which controls power in of learned stand the Afghan Government wants an immediate cease fire obviously there are other Member States at here at stake as well where theres a group of 5 nations which are meeting in the her special representatives from 5 countries including qatar to try and help these negotiations you have to remember that all of these interlocutors have taken a back step it is going to be an afghan on afghan led process neither easy nor quick and it is going to try and resolve d these differences for the last 2 decades and come to words lost in peace in of guts some of been covering the afghanistan peace talks here in doha thank you.

I didnt want the exams to be held at a time like this its hard she and her colleagues see theyll have to sit for the exams and hope for the best despite their very difficult circumstances people morgan all just their own hearts.
