they made some inflicting some damage on them. the whole campaign, i could comment on too is too slow, very con strained sort of thing. we need to increase the assault 600 to 800 assaults per day. air assault can play a significant role, 80% can destroy daish 20% or so for ground troops, but because isil is really been covering a very big area in syria and iraq, so you need really the air power to handle this, the response of air power, the quickest reaction for it. jordan needs logistic sport spare parts airplane, she asks even for, you know, vehicles, but we didn't get the predator and didn't get it because of the bureaucracy of the state

wave off the advice by the nation. >> the reaction was swift and angry. with the opposition, all progressives congress calling the decision provocative. people had already protested for days against delaying the vote outside the electoral commission headquarters. >> that man said one year ago to draw a time table for election, should not be allowed to sit on the eve of the election to postpone it. >> they will lose confidence in the pros, because definitely, they believe that it is the result of the pressure that has come from a party tails scared of defeat of elections, and so if the party has its way to shift the goal post towards the end of the match then the party will have its way in manipulating the results. >> nigeria and four neighboring

countries will deploy 8,500 troops to fight boko haram. it's part of a plan to bring security to the region, a plan that the government says would allow the election to go ahead. nigeria said security forces have been struggling to defeat boko haram for the past five years and now many nigerians are skeptical that the situation in the countries north can be changed in just six weeks. >> so they can accomplish this in six weeks? why didn't they do it up to this time? if it is true that they can deal with this situation did they allow it to happen deliberately to in cent people can continue to be killed? is that what they are telling the world? the chiefs of the various tribal chiefs i think they should honorably resign. >> under the constitution, the elections must take place by the end of april and that is what many are pinning their hopes on, that it won't be moved again.

>> let's hear from the ruling party, earlier i spoke to the spokesperson for good luck jonathan live. >> obviously most nigerians feel a sense of disappointment about what has happened, because we were ready to go and looking forth to the 14th but the reality on the ground is that we must take very seriously the concerns of the military and security agency. i think i did the right and proper thing by putting the lives and property of nigerians before anything else. i think this premise that you seem to have that we are somehow frightened of elections and the that jonathan is scared of an election is completely false. we are ready to go, however, we are a nation that is guided by laws. we are also a nation that takes very seriously the concept of life and property. we need to protect our people. if, for example, we had proceeded with the election and people were slaughtered simply because the military could not

protect them, you would have been criticizing us for this. the general speaking about the army not being able to do the job in five years when he was head of state he didn't even buy one bullet for the military. we are ready for the election, will win it and put our detractors to shame. >> still ahead greece's new prime minister goes before parliament to present his plan to ease the countries economic woes. australian's prime faces a confidence vote. all that coming up.

speech into what has to be done in the immediate term and what has to be done further down the road in his term in office. he is expected to propose a four to six month truce a period during which neither side will undertake unilateral action to overcome the problem that greece's oversight program ends at the end of this month. after that point it will not be liable for any funding from its european partners and international mon stair fund and considered in danger of defaulting on debt. his finance minister asked for last week the permission to raise another $11 billion on markets, because greece has currently exhausted its bond permit, how much money it can go raise, how much debt it cancel, if you like. it needs to raise that ceiling. once that funding is there

together with funding reef news, greece believes it will see itself through the next few months in order to conclude negotiations. >> what about his long term vision for greece? >> well, longer term, the prime minister has announced what he wants to do. in a nutshell, he wants to lift some of the tax burden from the middle class and the blue collar workers of this country and shift it a little further on to the shoulders of the wealthy. he says he will do this by more aggressively pursuing tax evasion and corruption within the state and also by retooling, repurposing the state to help the private sector more, which consists are predominant middle enterprises. this is not a economy dominated by large corporate enterprises but small businesses. he wants to get rid of the most

unpopular tax leveed for austerity, the property tax. that is responsible for some $3.5 billion worth of state revenue. that money is crucial but he will replace that with revenue derived from wealthy tax evaders. we expect to hear something along those lines tonight. >> thank you. india's prime minister could face his first election defeat since coming to power. polls show his ruling party is trailing behind the anti corruption party in delhi's state election. we have more from new delhi. >> post opinion polls project that the common man party will win the delhi state assembly. there's two ways of looking at the projected numbers here.
