bloc of prime minister high that all about and the iraqi nationalist bloc led by the influential shia cleric knocked out al assad or he won a majority in the may elections but the result wasn't accepted by the rest of the parties there are two countries who are going to be very interested in what happens in iraq it's called iran and the united states it's well known that iran has a lot of influence in iraq's politics and in its daily life but in recent days there's been a backlash against the level of that influence the u.s. has supported by mr hyde at all about it because he is in his turn pro united states but also because the u.s. sees him as a moderate the can pull together a fractious iraqi government. if however high they're all about he loses his power . within the iraqi government it may come that the us too loses its influence in iraq. and the government riots recently in basra were directed at politicians

including prime minister buddy protesters in the oil rich south blamed political corruption and negligence for failing to provide jobs as well as the collapse of the water and electricity supply lines. the offices of local shia armed groups backed by iran were set on fire but of. iran has been pushing for a consensus to choose the speaker and his two deputies that would guarantee its interests in iraq the u.s. wants an independent iraqi government and a stable political process away from iran's influence there is an apparent conflict of interests between iran and the u.s. over iraq's political future iraq's political problems are far from over but the apartment of a house speaker is a step towards a solution rob matheson al-jazeera baghdad a greece's largest refugee camp is facing closure at the end of the month public health officials describe the conditions. as unsafe and have set

ago a medical report from the us be that because they need the remove and in the tent city beside the official camp the aid group movement on the ground has built terracing and drainage and provided wife and elektra city but new arrivals are spilling beyond this into the olive groves surgeries can provide them with only a top pole and the rope about twenty thousand asylum applicants have arrived on greek shows this year all of them forced to remain on stage in islands while their applications are processed at the moment new arrivals are looking at waiting periods of fourteen months before their first interview because like others here this afghan family has stripped all of trees to cook forced to forage refugees create problems for local farmers one of them shows me his company tree workshop looted and burned his house was stripped of plywood refugees used for shelter he no longer picks the olives that used to give him half his income and. i come every day

president at least one and a half million people have fled political and economic crisis there and let's that's led to some venezuelans coming up with novel ways to make use of their failed currency asunder and kitty has more from on the colombia venezuela border. so often it's very difficult to explain just how far and how deep has the venezuelan economy fallen and the international monetary fund sense that by the end of the year inflation there could reach a million percent but what does it all mean one example is right here on the border with colombia this is the quest for family and what they have here is real business will earn money but this is so worthless that they're literally sowing it. with it they're making bags and wallets that they sell for pesos on the streets of colombia but how much was one of these bills works just five years ago when. it

was these bills five years ago. feed a family with you know nobody because they have no value they're actually quite impressively made they sell from three to seven dollars and the crisper family says the program has come to this to make ends meet all the countries hit by the two thousand and eight financial crisis germany has managed to stick on a me better than most the critics accuse it of being too strong pushing policies that wrecked other european economies largely reports. in the corridors of power in berlin there are reasons to be cheerful ten years ago the german economy was so well insulated that the big crash was never going to cause a crisis so much has changed in other european countries but not here in the first six months of this year alone the german economy around a budget surplus of over fifty billion dollars that's almost three percent of

germany's gross domestic product or any wealth it's the kind of figure that makes other countries either extremely jealous or absolutely furious it was the german government that demanded after the bank started to fall that the european commission impose new rules on countries like greece forcing them to adopt a hugely destructive tax raising powers in return for bailouts and loans a decade on stagnant economy is in huge unemployment levels of what's left the proceeds went to the banks not the people many economists hold germany directly responsible for bankrupting greece it is very anti democratic approach that is something that gives assurance to general politicians that there are rules and that they can be here too and that things will work out but then i think that kind of comfort is illusion it is defense germany would argue that if other countries have behaved in the right way in the first place then the wouldn't have been a problem most of the political class here bears few regrets about driving policies

which proved so controversial no absolutely not i think that was the only way the fact that we are successful in all these countries shows that this was the right way and it's like in the it's like in the private sphere. if you don't half there you are a free man and if you have have debt you have to listen to the persons who gave you the money. the one area which germany has suffered from. in recent years has been the rise of far right populism born partly from economics in poor areas but also from anger towards chancellor merkel's generous asylum policies for refugees this week though the german government announced it was devoting billions of euros to tackle long term unemployment a certain way of diffusing anger germany is able to make these choices in ways

two i said two is the first mission in nearly a decade that will be measuring ice levels its predecessor i set launched in two thousand and three operated for six years the new satellites will use an advanced laser and camera system known as atlas to measure how long it takes individual particles of light to leave the satellite bounce off earth and return these tests will be repeated four times a year providing scientists with a continuous record detailing changes in the ice its will also help them better understand the relationship between the melting ice sheets and the rising sea scientists have been warning for a number of years that the global average temperature is rising the four hottest years on record have been the last four and the constant reliance on fossil fuels for energy means levels of greenhouse gases continue to mount but the u.s. administration and the president donald trump seems intent on slashing projects

that aim to study and curb climate change. the i said to mission should last three years but has enough fuel to continue for ten if the mission managers decide to extend its life but that will depend not on the scientists but some politicians people morgan on to zero. and has of seeker in doha let's get a roundup of the top stories on al-jazeera the rebels in yemen say the u.n. has agreed to transport critically ill people out of the country they say a memorandum of understanding was signed at talks with u.n. officials in armaan but the saudi led coalition fighting the hooty s has not commented on the agreement and or simmons has been monitoring the conflict from just across the red sea in djibouti this announcement comes from the who three rebels and it could amount to a potential breakthrough following on from the failure to get the delegation from
