And football hamburg has been relegated to the Second Division for the first time in their history after yet another season of drawing defeats fance fears have finally been realized. Gear in the bundesliga has talked here comes to a bitter end. And welcome to the program in iraq at least three people have reportedly been killed in a bomb attack the explosion happened just south of the oil rich city of kirkuk this comes just hours after polls closed in iraqs first parliamentary elections since the government declared victory over Islamic State militants Security Forces in the area say the blast is linked to the election. Iraqi voters cast their ballots amid tight security but turnout was lower than expected partly because Islamic State militants had threatened attacks at polling places because if you want cars in areas surrounding polling stations had kept some voters away but the only reported violence was a car bomb attack in kirkuk which killed the vehicles passengers some voters were frustrated by long lines at polling booths others found their names werent on voting lists in areas with a live. Prime from the government of d. L. Ive been living here since two thousand and six and theres been three elections and its the same story the same problems we come to the polling station and they say your names not here so we need proof of nationality we need another id what law many voters faced a similar problems in a country where there are no estimated three million internally displaced people. The two top candidates are the pro western incumbent Prime Minister buddy and. The from the iranian backed militia the Popular Mobilization forces the group is seen as having led the fight against i. A. S. Or. Has it i wouldnt. Say is close to the people because he fought my others were sitting on chairs and got money therefore i believe that the ill armory is the best for the people. We shot. Fifteen years after Saddam Hussein was toppled the country is in ruins and in need of close to ninety billion dollars to rebuild infrastructure. But the first task iraqs next Prime Minister faces is to repair the growing rift between the countrys majority shiite and minority sunni populations. Correspondent youre far too old karim is covering these elections from baghdad in cooperation with a Rocky Channel rashid t. V. Jeff farwell com what are you hearing about the bomb attack near the city of kirkuk at the moment is that what i heard so far what happened in pure coupe that three people where. Were clued through dip last thats happened there through the attack to voters not one. But two no theres nothing. And thats the only what we know so far ok now with regard to the election the Prime Minister partially lifted a curfew to encourage more people to vote this appeared to have made any difference from what you could tell. Well what i can tell i wasnt. Going to one of the poles opposing stations you could see that the streets were empty and the curfew was there and you see people walking maybe three to four kilometers in order to reach the voting stations and off today so that the turnout is very low even the afternoon day a body decided to change it but according to what i saw on my impression because i came back the streets were still empty and when i talked also told deserver here they told me that there was no change even after stopping the curfew and the turnout at the end was low when i can talk today about backed out of the observers told me only twenty five percent of the population in baghdad participated today in the election and population of black there is almost more than five million so all over when you talk to the people it wasnt a big surprise for them that the turnout was low because at the beginning they didnt have enough trust in this elections because they are criticizing the government because theyre doing this elections in times where you have daily attacks and daily blasts and also criticizing the government and a bloody himself for corruption jaffar as you just mentioned youve been speaking to iraqis there cut the country faces Major Economic challenges after battling the socalled Islamic State for the past several years so do voters there expect this election to bring about the change that they need. When i talk to them and especially when nazi here only in baghdad but in north of iraq in mosul where d. S. One year ago was still there and a body always says like we defeated today that the the i asked talk to the people there day know that this elections will not change anything because even one year after defeating the socalled Islamic StateNothing Happened there are no big changes you still have the old town of mosul is totally destroyed you still have bridges there are destroyed schools there are destroyed hospitals that are destroyed we dont have to be to forget that almost one million internally displaced iraqis didnt return back to their home so the politicians here are making big words and talking a lot when you say when you talk to people but when it comes to schachter and which comes to doing they are not doing it and you can see this very well through the whole posters you have here and the big picture is hanging all over iraq and telling them we will build up iraq we will support you and you know its kind of a joke that people here do their what whats written on this papers taste on these papers and on this posters and they cannot they will not do it on the ground and change anything so the trust in the elections is very low the credibility of the elections is also low and the people tell me we dont trust in whats going on nothing is going to have the same faces will appear again Jafar Abdul Karim in baghdad thank you very much.
