5:18 am
sort of a challenge. the indicators are that pakistan may be ready, but anyone that feels confident would be fuelling themselves. we need to see a lot more consistently on a lot more fronts than what we have seen so far before we can feel comfortable that we are going to solve the problem so the children never have to endure what the children of peshawar endured. >> this is incredible reading. thank you for talking to us. countries in the sub-saharan region is calling on the united nations to rep get rid of armed groups. the leaders of some areas made an official request to the u.n. at the end of a regional security summit, wanting on international force to disarment rebels groups and help with national reconciliation in libya. al jazeera demands the release of three journalists imprisoned
