programs including prime minister boris johnson he appealed to voters who want to leave the e.u. promising to get bags of done and lower immigration what we want to do is bear down on migration particularly skilled workers who have no job to come to and i think that's what's happened over the last couple of decades or more you've seen quite a large number of people coming in from the the whole of the e.u. 580000000. in a population able to treat the u.k. as though it's basically part of their own country and the problem with that is there's been no control at all but critics say by using the skill points based immigration model johnson describes migration will actually increase something brags that voters don't want. support for the main opposition labor party has steadily increased jeremy corp in its decision to remain neutral and brags that is

main focus but labor's trying to move the attention away from breaks it as a subject to more towards general domestic issues so far the discussions throughout the election campaign are not had a major impact on the position of the parties or indeed the show the vote labor has slowly and steadily increased that share of the vote by by 5 percent but nothing like the kind of numbers we saw back in 2017 and we conservatives have fluctuated around a bit but have been consistently turned 12 points ahead of labor and so it's concern all the way through it's looked good for good for them and no poll during the campaign has had labor closer than 6 points to the conservatives. meanwhile de facto leader. headed to the un's highest court in the netherlands to defend her country against genocide charges the case was filed by the gambia on behalf of the organization of islamic cooperation it accuses me in ma violating the un's genocide

u.s. led coalition the united states of america is very keen to put an end to disprove that was started long back there had 9 rounds of talks in 2018 in 2019 and perhaps this is the time where it needs to be done and dusted the afghan government has been sidelined from the previous year long dialogue because the taliban refuses direct talks but president ash afghani's government bolstered by a series of military successes is quietly optimistic that now the talks will lead to a place at the negotiating table few months ago. was an defense position . of position and. we took the money district from taliban we are doing much better in the who is there is too important and one ceasefire. one of.

both of these demands have been rejected by the taliban in the past but president trump talked optimistically about a cease fire during a visit to u.s. troops in afghanistan in november where he also met the afghan president asked for afghani taliban wants to make a deal and we're meeting with them and we're saying it has to be a cease fire they want to do is use now they do want to do a ceasefire i believe would probably work. but so far the taliban has not responded to that claim the afghan army with u.s. air support has been taking territory recently but the taliban still controls more than 50 percent of the country it's unlikely the taliban will agree to a ceasefire before there's a definitive signed agreement for a u.s. troop withdraw it's still in a strong position and a cease fire is a valuable bargaining chip it won't give away easily afghanistan has been in political deadlock since his presidential elections 3 months ago the results are still not been released because of allegations of widespread vote rigging and fraud

that is unlikely to help the peace process the taliban has said the war is now about time and money and it has the time president trump is keen to reduce the financial burden and bring the troops home and he wants that done before next year's presidential election for such a complicated issue that may be an overly ambitious time frame tony berkeley al jazeera kabul. now gulf leaders will meet in riyadh this week for the 40th session of the gulf cooperation council the 6 nation regional bloc a struggled since 2017 when saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind egypt all severed ties with cattle and imposed a blockade. reports on whether the summit might offer a new beginning for. for the 1st time in years there are signs that a diplomatic dispute that has paralyzed the gulf region may be easing that's according to statements made by a qatari foreign minister sharon. thani during

a conference in rome on friday we have moved from a stalemate to some progress where there are some talks. that took place between us and. specifically and saudi and we hope that these talks will need. to up progress where we can see an end. to 4 of the core of the crisis and. this is the last time gulf leaders put on a show of unity that was in riyadh in may 2017 a few weeks later saudi arabia u.a.e. behind and egypt cut diplomatic ties with qatar accusing it of funding extremism and building closer ties with iran qatar has repeatedly denied the charges and rejected a list of 13 demands by the blockade in countries which include closing a turkish military base downgrading ties with iran and shutting down the aisle to 0

media network. the u.s. has called on its gulf allies to and their feud fearing the rift might undermine its 1st to contain what it sees as iran's growing influence in the region there have been signs of possible deescalation in recent weeks saudi arabia the u.a.e. and bahrain took part in a golf football tournament held in doha reversing an earlier decision. to boycott the band many of now waiting to see if the same effort and group ration will be in place too and the crisis that began in june 2017. 0. well let's bring in new bow he's a middle east analyst and nonresident fellow at the gulf international forum that's a think tank he joins us live now from washington d.c. so there have been a number of encouraging signs recently like qatar's foreign minister traveling to riyadh and qatar staging the arabian gulf cup of football so with sport and

diplomacy playing more important roles how ripe is a situation now for some kind of reconciliation do you think the signs are there but at the same time despite these 2 momentous steps that have been taken over the past weeks we know that to know why diplomatic initiatives have so far over the past 2 and a half years taken place with out the robust u.s. diplomatic pressure in the background. the question is now will the blockade be lifted. which is the country demand for all practical purposes for its emir shaikh to meet him to attend the upcoming g.c.c. summit in riyadh and because we don't know what the answer to that question uncertainty is lingering yet and some some observers say the attack by iranian backed to the rebels on the saudi oil facility in september is drawing the g.c.c.

closer but how is the iran dynamic playing into that equation i mean cats are how strong relations with iran but iran of course is a sworn enemy of saudi arabia and by default the u.a.e. . well i think it's important to to stress one important detail here and doubt is that the attack on the saudi. oil infrastructure was claimed by who thesis but it was widely concluded that it was the iranians that attacked these facilities directly with that in mind it was only a matter of time before the g.c.c. would close ranks around side arabia because iran is an extensive existential threat to all of the g.c.c. even though the g.c.c. is divided on how to deal with iran so the question that we're facing now ahead of this upcoming summit as whether or not the reconciliation process will be will be slow or whether it could drag out some more because of all these uncertainties we

don't quite know in what direction it is going to go but there is a good sign and that a good sign is that the anti or the attack innes that we have seen on social media and and surrogates and g.c.c. media who have opposed g.c.c. reconciliation have remained quiet at least for now so that is a positive. all right so what sort of concessions do you think will be made in reaching a deal whenever it's reached to end the blockade and cut off once the embargo lifted but saudi arabia clearly would like perhaps investment into iran koso what sort of face saving mechanism could get things moving do you think. well one of the face saving mechanisms that we have seen so far is that just last week the wall street journal a newspaper here in the united states reported that this qatari foreign minister had offered to cut all ties or all support for the muslim brotherhood that is

consistent of course with the $24000.00 g.c.c. agreement after the 1st feud so this would be a face saving measure given by the countries too to saudis because most observers at this point understood that the crisis was never about substance but rather about the forcing qatar to its nice over its independence and this is something that of course. is at the heart of the matter sigurd just a final thought from you i mean some reports suggest that the saudis are perhaps more willing to end the blockade but it's their offices who are playing hardball here so all the divisions within the blockading countries themselves as to how to end this yes we know from the beginning that the strategy behind the bill cade was crafted in abu dhabi by crown prince mohammed bin zeid and the. prince mohammed of saudi arabia followed his lead what is different now is

that it was saudi arabia that was attacked by the iranians and not damn roddy's and that has created a significant cleavage between the 2 of them because saudi arabia is still involved in the yemen war whereas the u.a.e. has switched drawn and that has created some sort of bad taste in the mouth of the saudi leadership sydney about thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera . now the number of sudanese troops fighting in yemen has dropped by more than 10000 so the un's prime minister says 15000 soldiers were initially part of the saudi and erotic led coalition battling who few rebels but that number is now down to $5000.01 doc says a political solution is the only way to end the 4 year conflict. nearly 130000 people have been displaced by fighting near the libyan capital the 8 month long battle for control of tripoli has created a housing crisis some displaced families are demanding the government provide compensation for their destroyed homes. to wirehead has their story.
