south with pam but we're tired of being so underdeveloped of so much corruption we want martin to be our hope that he really improves our country's development education health and agriculture should be the main issues to succeed analysts say the big question for these cattle now is where will he get the political strength to govern with this congress or the mahdi a popular party hold the majority only because you know a majority that former president. accused of impeding his ability to govern his party peruvians for change now support the scada but with very few votes. and the challenges for change are many from reigniting the economy to fighting crime and pushing forward rebuilding the country left devastated by the phenomenon last year . however many say the scotus greatest challenge will be to get the people's trust

interfaith service a service where people from all religions and ethnicities of come together something the churches represents the damage done by gun violence of course saturday's protests is expected to be one of the largest of its kind and comes after seventeen people were killed at the park land mass school shooting one of the worst in u.s. history the people that have come here particularly those from the marjorie stillman douglass high school have some very simple demands they want to see a ban on assault rifles they want to see increased background checks and actual what they call common sense gun reform they know this will be a long and hard fought battle but the voices that will speak out on saturday will be more amplified than at any other protest in recent history donald trump's appointment of the hardline of john bolton as national security advisor has raised questions internationally mr bolton previously pushed for preemptive bombing of iran and north korea but he's not the only recent addition to the u.s. president's team with
