a third of its seats preliminary results from sunday's election show the shia party has bar and its allies winning more than half the seats in parliament so it harder has more from beirut. there was a clear winner at eleven on election. has been lost and its political allies won the majority of seats in parliament it's being seated by some as a victory for iran the shiite group is backed by iran and it's the only lebanese party that has an armed wing and its electoral gains further empowers it politically hezbollah's leader called for cooperation. before the poll i stressed that there is a reality in lebanon and that is that no one can eliminate the other even if we have disagreements we want political stability we need to cooperate. the general elections was a loss for leptons prime minister saddle had eighty no longer heads the largest bloc in the legislature but he still retains the majority of seats allocated to

seventy muslims how did he faced opposition from within his own community have accused him of being too lenient with hezbollah which is fighting in neighboring syria when asked if he plans to change that approach the prime minister said the focus should be on development and improving the lebanese economy. i disagree with them on many issues and will continue to disagree with them but what do i told the lebanese people. working on services like electricity water roads and instead focus on political challenge lebanon can handle political crises . clearly indicating his willingness to continue working with his political rivals he has led a national unity government since late two thousand and sixteen a cabinet that includes members of hezbollah. and the last election in two thousand and nine it was the pro western approach saudi alliance headed by saddle that won

the majority of seats in parliament since then iran's influence has been growing not just here in lebanon but across the region and it has been at the expense of saudi arabia. saudi arabia used to play a big rule eleven these politics. for the better. i would uribe i was busy with other conflicts in the region like the war there is a priority for riyadh. saudi arabia i was aware that there are laws in lebanon we're no longer united and they could be a force to confront his followers but not leave the ground for iran. for now however there is little indication that lebanon is heading towards political instability lebanese politicians are talking about putting their differences aside and uniting now they think election is over seven. days that. i should have irish life first in beirut say will that possibility of uniting

become reality. that will depend laws the on the different political parties are going to be receptive to coming together to form a polish sharing government in the coming weeks the new realities of the ground hezbollah consider dating its gaze. prime minister said that henry's trying to reach out to different factions to of to become to maintain his position as levers prime minister to talk more about the very complex very interesting political landscape here in lebanon joining me is heiko women who is the recession of the it's an arsenal crisis job is a hike to think of it much indeed for joining us how do you see the outcome of this election was as you said the last significant in maybe one third of the seats in parliament. that was to some extent expected i mean he was unable this time around to galvanize the sunni community behind him.

dilaudid new law did not play to his advantage made it more difficult to dominate mix districts and is well on the other hand an arm over were quite good again at consolidating their support in the shia community and that played to their advantage their ally the christian party off with an all in is also done well so they have improved although i would say it's not a chain. then what would be next for the live on his political stauskas political parties who do you think would be positioning itself to become the next prime minister well i think the the next prime minister is very likely going to be thought howie. the fundamental metrics have not changed so obviously after these results are you cannot form a government against hezbollah without this below but another way on the other hand the other way around is one can perhaps in america we form a government against

a well that would it would be about it here first of all he had as now lost his monopoly in the sunni community if you market it marginalize he's still the strongest player in that. if you marginalize him you will have that blowing in your face this is a small country how of it's domestic politics sometimes an indication of the ever changing geopolitical dynamics of the region we've been talking about iranian influence of the saudi influence in the bus eleven and against the backdrop of these results do you think no one has the upper hand eleven and well as well as the upper hand but as i said they should not form a government against this paula because then that becomes too obvious if it becomes too obvious then our neighbors didn't sway means will say even louder this is all a country this is a hizbollah government and this is essentially a pariah state and americans should do something about it so as well i would expect

and i have said that before the elections will see cooperation with whom i really will most likely accept this he has indicated as much so i think we will see a new government that doesn't look so different from the old give us into i.q. and this is quite interesting because although we been saying that hezbollah and amal movement for example has come out the biggest winners in this election but because this is a such a complex political landscape based upon the idea of the six tarion representation in the country ultimately you can't have the government of your own so i was hypo is basically saying hezbollah and needs sad that how do you decide how did it needs the three patches it movement so ultimately we're back to square one where the different political parties have to come together for my power sharing government to steer lebanon from any instability or gridlock in the future. thank you very much.

u.s. president donald trump says he'll announce his decision on whether to extend the iran nuclear deal at eight hundred g.m.t. . on tuesday britain's foreign secretary appeared on trump's favorite morning t.v. show some friends urging him not to pull out of the twenty fifteen agreement can be how could joins us live now from the white house committee this announcement coming sooner than we expected perhaps. right because the deadline for donald trump to make that decision may twelfth so he did have a few more days a little odd that the president has tweeted this just as the white house press briefing was ending it appears donald trump wants to be the one in control of this message not his press office but certainly you know there have been questions about whether or not the effort to persuade donald trump seemed to be working in terms of persuading him to remain in the iran nuclear agreement certainly the latest lines

out of the press briefing by sarah sanders she said that it was the view of the president that this was one of the worst deals ever made so it doesn't seem to leave much doubt in terms of where the president stands with regard to his decision one that we now know will be made in less than twenty four hours public but at the same time there has been an intensive effort as you point out to try and convince the president that there is merit to remain in the twenty fifteen agreement that was negotiated by the obama administration as well as other world powers to limit iran's nuclear program not only do we have the french president emanuel mccraw here at the white house the angle of merkel the german chancellor trying to send the message that there are legitimate concerns but those can be improved upon with the supplemental agreement but we've also had the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson sending the same message to the president. well the

president set the world a legitimate challenge in january which was to try to address all of the bad stuff that iran is is doing in the region to try to stop iran getting missiles into continental ballistic missiles stop them interfering in neighboring countries and also to fix the cool problem of the deal which is that it expires in twenty twenty five and then there's no way of stopping the array's going very rapidly to get a nuclear weapon well we think we can fix it working with our european friends we're going to be tough on iran but not throw away that the the heart of the deal which is all about stopping them getting a nuclear weapon. so we know that the foreign secretary has met with my pump aoe the u.s. secretary of state he is meeting with john bolton the national security advisor and even the u.s. vice president mike pence but it appears despite that last minute effort to try and

convince the president it does seem that the president has laid out the groundwork for withdrawal of the deal of course we won't know for sure what that decision is until tuesday at eighteen g.m.t. but certainly if we have any indication it would come from the public statements made by the press secretary sarah sounders in just the last hour where again she said that it was the view of the president that the iran nuclear agreement was one of the worst deals ever made lauren committee ok thank you very much. nigeria's army says it's rescued more than a thousand boko haram captives the hostages were safe from the several villages in borno state manager says in the state capital of degree. the one thousand people who have been rescued by the military actually rescued were actually rescued along the i don't the bomber area which is on the fringes of the somebody support us we've known and have heard of boko haram a flight is trying to infiltrate that particular area and they've extended actually they reach into neighboring adam
