Are dizzy or. Lets go to ron now where as people voted to elect a new palm and on friday 2 more rain ians died from growing a virus as a biogas live for us in the capital are said so 5 confirmed deaths now in iran how prepared is the country to deal with the corona Virus Outbreak. Well absolutely they have been 5 confirmed deaths one new death but the we do know that government bodies are currently meeting and theyre discussing and we are expecting in the coming coming days for them to release information about how they will be dealing with this virus state t. V. Has been showing videos telling people how to put on a face mask properly and how to wash their hands to protect themselves from the krona virus now there are 28 confirmed cases 10 new ones 8 in the city of form 2 here in the capital that are on we know that iraq has suspended flights between the 2 countries and is not accepting uranian pilgrims iran has closed its 5 land borders with iraq and thats after that it was only open for a week because those borders were closed for 4 months because of the insecurity in iraq we also know that the government has kept schools closed for a week in the city of qom and are as a precautionary measure but people are concerned when i was outside and streets yesterday and today are so many people wearing face masks but people are also suspicious because partly because after the Ukrainian Airline was shut down the iranian government spent 3 days denying it people are suspicious of the official account they want to know how many people actually affected but also they want to know how these individuals contracted the virus in the 1st place and that hasnt been made clear but we are expecting some officials in the coming days to come out and try to explain to people what precautionary measures they need to take what the government will be doing to try and stop this virus spreading any further i said lets pivot and talk about the elections obviously voting yesterday whats the latest with that and when can we expect the results. Well whats very interesting about the elections is that we havent had a voter turnout yet now yesterday the governor of the one came out and said that there would be a figure official figure for voter turnout for the country as a whole and not a breakdown thats not what we used to be used to having a breakdown of individual provinces and cities and that could be indicative of the expected low voter turnout now from the figures that weve seen so far released for the Election Results theres been about 163. 00 seats out of the 290. 00 that conservatives have won already got a majority of course these results have to be validated by the Guardian Council which is the body that oversees the elections and the vetting process but just to give you an idea this will probably be the most conservative parliament that weve seen in iran for over a decade and just to give you an idea of the defeat for the reformists and moderates in the home city of president Hassan Rouhani some non there were 4 seats all saw went to the conservatives now obviously this election has been controversial about 5 and a half 1000 people were disqualified from standing including 81 sitting members of parliament thats why the Guardian Council many people stayed away from the polls we saw many empty polling stations yesterday we expect voter turnout to be very low but also this makes it very difficult for president Hassan Rouhani he will effectively be a sitting duck president we have the president ial election next year because he will preside over a parliament that is of a different political persuasion to him and that could affect not only domestic policy but also Foreign Policy think that that said baghdad live from tehran. South sudans president salva kerry has formed a new Coalition Government with opposition leader. Whos been sworn in as Vice President the former rivals will lead the government in an attempt to end years of conflicts which has killed about 400000. 00 people theyre expected to guide the country to elections within the next 3 years is that morgan has more from juba. Lets remember 1st of all that this Transitional Government has been sworn in just under an hour ago has been formed after 9 months of delay so people are looking up to this government to see what kind of change they can bring and weve seen this in the newly sworn in vice for Vice President cheney direct machar and the countrys president salva kiir holding several meetings over the past 2 days both saying clearly that there are still a lot of outstanding issues the most prominent being the issues of security arrangements but they said that after the swearing in and after the formation of the Transitional Government and appointment of cabinet ministers and they will tackle those issues so people on the street and countrywide are looking to this government to solve the issue of the economy how could i was facing higher inflation as a result of the years of conflict in the country theres also the issue of the humanitarian crisis more than half of the country saw when populations are in need of food aid to survive so these are the things or rather the challenges that this Transitional Government will have to tackle in the coming 3 years before they go on to elections the number one guarantee has to be basically the goodwill of the 2 sides but if youre looking at what kind of pressure this Transitional Government has just been sworn in will have to be spending to make sure that they implement the deal that has been coming to 18 then we can look at what happened over the past 2 weeks that led to this government being formed on the 22nd of february which was the final deadline that was had by the working parties youve seen the u. S. Imposing sanctions weve seen the e. U. Imposing sanctions law so harsh words and language coming from regional and International Partners saying that its no Transitional Government is formed if the peace is not abided by if the details of the agreement that has been signed is not implemented then there will be no support for this government so most of the pressure that will force the were inside which are now effectively partners in government to implement the deal comes from what has happened over the past few weeks and there are concerns that if any part of the deal is not. Implemented on time were there any kind of delays a 15 basically does not follow his part of the agreement then the International Community basically implement important tension and that is something none of the more and 5 are the opposition i want to see happening in the coming year. The warring sides in south sudan have made deals before but none have brought last peace this time president salva care has made his rival rep michele his 1st Vice President both face challenges including the delicate process of integrating former rival military forces into one united army disagreements over how and where the country will be divided up into states remain and thats due to be finalised after the governments formation and the un says widespread abuses on both sides continue including the recruitment of child soldiers and secure violence or ma one is a south sudan analyst and he joins us now live from london by skype thank you so much for your time 1st i guess most obvious question do you think that this time will be different will this last. We dont know where hes going to last but there are indications that it is different from the last time we meet we saw it which was back in 2016 before down the road so this time around we think we think that at least 2 things have changed the 1st one is the teams in khartoum sudan has collapsed and is the place by a government that is more friendly to the government of. Qatar has historically been seen to be a supporter a sort of species consensus down the 1st factor and that these is an incentive for the group the Opposition Group to look inside because looking behind them there isnt a tradition back in going to use to get so this one but on the other hand the government loses under severe pressure us pundits said the economist in its entirety said it has been for a very long time government officials are being paid including the army so the government is who it is worried that it cannot sustain the population that it cannot depend on the population supporting it so basically both sides as seeing this Peace Agreement process as like an exit from their own trouble so they believe that its enough incentive for the stude to try and live up to what their side up to we read her stomach some of the challenges there including bringing you know having one united. What do you think the likelihood of Holding Elections in 3 years time is that going to be a straightforward process what are your thoughts on that. Its a very very tight and a lot of his depends you dont the ship or on the goodwill of these 2 guys they must know that this is the last chance they cannot miss this chance again they can afford d again and this is the last chance for both of them. Having said that the time is extremely tight they have so many they have so many things to do not Police Course people are starving people has been dispelled been displaced people have to be treated to their homes. Salaries have to to attribute at least people have to be paid the economy has to be recovered apart from that the security measures that you have talking about the unified army we must know that im of course who is unified before d. It broke up into 2 functions so now we have to create a new unified army that is not vulnerable to the old divisions and this is a huge task but one good just at the moment we have much opposition armies under the protection wholly by the Government Forces so this is a very good will. Gesture from the argument chart to take his to take this risk. His army and come to you but with all his delegates and trust president suffocate to protect him of course this is a very good will from my chart but it also puts pressure on assad for killing to this trust and this really would be the 1st steps to its the trust that we need to be built between these 2 people the u. N. Commission on human rights recently put out a report and found that this is a leaders with stealing public funds were enabling attacks on civilians through local militias well withholding aid on purpose will any of these sorts of endemic issues be dealt with under this sort of unity government. Of course when there is war things always happen we everybody of course welcomes the pressure that comes from the International Community from the
