al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian for the again and this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the deal has finally been locked out of the u.n. climate summit however critics say that it falls far short of expectations. a warning for the taliban as talks are put on hold again after an attack at an army base in afghanistan. and yemen's who 3 rebels called for international help after a deserted tanker spills oil into the red sea. and in sport china poll think t.v.

coverage of sunday's english premier league game involving arsenal follows comments made by arsenal player measured us all where he criticised the chinese government's treatment. the longest u.n. climate conference has come to a close in madrid with a partial agreement but the world's biggest polluters couldn't agree on some of the most contentious issues after talks dragged on 2 days past the deadline countries at the cop $25.00 summit will improve their current pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the paris agreement those new commitments however will be presented at next year's summit but the whole issue of global carbon markets has been put off until next year that concept allows those who exceed the pollution levels to buy credits from those who don't the u.s.
6:02 pm
brazil astray via india and china have been blamed for stalling talks on that issue for the past 2 weeks that been marches across the world many led by students unhappy at the lack of action on climate change on saturday members of the group extinction rebellion dumped horse manure outside the conference to the frustration . i was there as nick clock reports now from madrid there was a relentless log of endless negotiations whole blocks of nations working adults with a seemingly impossible goal of an agreement acceptable to all and when a cold came it was no a near enough for many observers you know i'm not happy i don't think anybody should be happy when you look at the forces outside these halls where people are in the streets it was 8000000 in september you have impacts happening from australia to germany and you have science that is becoming more compelling and more and deniable and the and the things that they have predicted are actually more
6:03 pm
conservative than what we're seeing now i think it's time for real action we can't just rehash what we agreed to 5 years ago. in the year of mass climate protest it's not surprising that direct action found its way into the exhibition holes in madrid given the chasm that exists between what science says is required to be done and the snail's pace of progress from national delegations the star of the climate movement home did on the science and why is it so important to stay below 1.5 degrees. because even to one degree people are dying from the climate crisis. because those would be united science calls for to avoid the stabilising the climates so that we have the best possible chance to avoid setting up irreversible chain reactions to grab his words had no effect conference it should have ended at 6 pm on friday went on through the 19th to saturday and on into sunday sleep was a scarce commodity but there was an impala save
6:04 pm
a 6 part of the text that deals with carbon markets the poorer nations saying they were being cheated by the united states australia saudi and brazil you have the floor. this was the copy of a mission we are not seeing the ambition all the references to the science is gotten weaker. reference to enhancing the and the seas have gone it seems we prefer to look backward and looking forward we need to address this issue for those who've been part of the global movement calling for action this is been a big disappointment it is really disappointing to see that we've had out for you because i believe escaped in telling us that he was happy about that actions and stuff that's pretty awareness for climate change and then we come here and we get the opposite of what they say is so disappointing the arguments here in madrid have been relentless and many are now questioning whether this multilateral approach is fit for purpose and nic joins us now live from the cup 25 summit in madrid so
6:05 pm
make a deal has been done but very few people it seems like it. you know we got a journey in the end didn't wait it's a long time we were supposed to finish on friday afternoon at 6 o'clock it's sunday 4 o'clock in the afternoon that is a wreck hold the longest previously was 2011 and when this is beaten that hands down so what we got was this kind of watered down agreement as you say not too many people are happy with a woman point even a small island states was shut out of the negotiations was extraordinary thing the marshall islands shortly afterwards released this report about the statements about the final deal same text adopted does not reflect anything near what we want it is the bare minimum and when you consider that this conference is really a lot about providing a springboard into 2020 when we would be looking for nations around the world to
6:06 pm
come to girls go this time next year and present 'd in home to ambitions which is very much part of the text in hohenstein patients to what they're prepared to do to reduce emissions to close that gap between what science is saying needs to be done enormous gut and to the reality of what global warming is right now and when you look around the world at what's happening from floods to bush for us to drought you can see the urgency of it all deserves nick clark live in madrid nic many thanks indeed let's bring in one of our goal at the doha forum he's the c.e.o. of the council on energy environment and water a delhi based not for profit research organization good to have you with us has this summit in madrid achieved anything of substance or is it been a complete waste of time kick the can down the road. suddenly kick the can down the road this you know paris agreement 4 years ago got something for everyone this deal is nothing for no one that basically means that we
6:07 pm
have widened the gap between where we need to be and where we are which increases the pressure up 26 next year in glasgow. who's to blame them for this lack of action jamie han strategy director of the pressure group 315 dot org has said in the guardian newspaper the level of disconnect between what the c o p should have delivered and wants and it's on track to deliver is appalling and is a sign that at the very foundations of the paris agreement of being shaken up a handful of loud country she says has hijacked the process and is keeping the rest of the planet hostage would you agree with that. yes you see what's happened is that the blame is on the basis of a complete lack of trust once the developed countries start backing down from their commitments it's there's very little trust left that what they're committing in future are going to is going to be met so whatever was promised for up to 2020
6:08 pm
those agreements have not been have not been back to fight yet and yet we want that all the major emitters by the developed countries or developing countries after enhanced ambition now this is the disconnect between the lack of action thus far and the expectation that any announcements in future would actually be met whether it is on technology whether it is on finance whether it's on their all actions the development the developed countries have failed at the same time i think developing countries major developing countries also need to consider that the climate is rapidly changing they are living in some of the most vulnerable parts of the world and unless they take an abstraction themselves in terms of deployment of renewable energy in terms of mitigating throughout this are the other ways we are going to remain in this. very uncomfortable position so trust has to be the basis for any kind of enhanced ambition and all the major emitters need to come
6:09 pm
forward and do something to enhance that trust without that your we are we are simply going to be kicking that can down the road or and so what needs to happen ahead of next year's summit in glasgow how do you encourage that trust. ok so a few specific things can begin to change the game number one we need to think about finance not just in terms of the 100000000000 dollar target which has not been met but in terms of the trillions of dollars that needs to go into developing and emerging economies how do you do that you need to dearest the investments that go into these projects small amounts of public capital from the developed world can underwrite a lot of the large institutional investment that needs to go into these economies 2nd we need to create and hans technology partnerships that focus on getting the technologies that are already very to scale closer to commercial lending and the
6:10 pm
technologies that still need some start some work we need to pool resources across countries to ramp up. the work there if we get action going on these 2 fronts i think then 30 rio would be on the announce transparency announce transparency for what both for climate action but also for trans transparency for what kind of financial and technology support has been given we need to work on these specific mortalities nuts and bolts so that i am on the practical way developing countries and emerging economies begin to see the value of trusting the developed countries once that is done i think it is very much conceivable that all major emitters can say we have done this smart so far we are agreeing to now do more paris agreement was based on we will all work towards a particular goal we now have to stick to that basic principle that everyone is in in this together but for those basic principles we followed we need to follow these
6:11 pm
2 or 3 specific practical solutions. many thanks indeed for being with us. this is the news on al-jazeera still to come on the program the injury list grows during protests at the corruption in lebanon. and in sports one of the n.b.a.'s fastest rising stars takes a fall far will be here with all the details at a later. one of the protests is getting underway right now in lebanon's capital it follows a night of violence in a rally in beirut several people were injured the security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds police beat and detained some protesters after they tried to break into a barricaded area people have been protesting because they're angry of corruption and sectarianism let's go live now to central beirut our correspondent zain a honda is there a protest and i've just begun to gather so we sold
6:12 pm
a lot of violence last night and how things are looking there right now. has been restored as you can see behind me people are starting to converge on mark this square which really has been the epicenter of this protest movement for weeks people gathering here making their voices heard telling those of our people have covered this country for the last 30 years to leave office their calls are not to be heard and now the armed forces are using what many are calling excessive force against the protesters this protest comes after a night of violence one of the worst incidents really since this protest movement began we saw play out live on television security forces beating up protesters at times more than one security officers are hitting and on armed protesters so many people here feel that those in power want to intimidate the people to try to
6:13 pm
crush the movement so they were hoping that a large turnout. that they would send the message to those in power that know we are not afraid but i can tell you that the numbers the turnout is much less than what we saw during the 1st weeks of the uprising when there really was a moment yes people are getting tired but also like i mentioned the past few days the security forces the army they have been using more and more force against the people so there is no doubt in one way or another it affected the movement a new prime minister is supposed to be named tomorrow any indication is that a new government will be formed any time soon. oh yes tomorrow parliamentary consultations the different clocks and part of it will nominate their choice of prime minister there is only one candidate that's the caretaker prime minister saddam is likely to be nominated and he has the support of
6:14 pm
the son the religious establishment and this is a country where the system of government the spacewalk sectarianism the prime minister needs to be a sudden act if he doesn't return to office that many and the sunni community will say why are we the scapegoats why not the christian president or the house speaker why don't they leave office as well but even if he is nominated we're not any closer to seeing a government being formed what have you to watch as an independent government free from any political affiliation but his rivals in the power his political rival say no insist on being represented in the next government are the party thanks very much or do so have an office not any closer in resolving the government told him passed at a time when the economy is just going down down the hill really because their capital controls and the currency is losing value of people are losing their jobs.
6:15 pm
i was there as a whole reporting live from beirut so many things. the u.s. special envoy to afghanistan. has issued a warning to the taliban while attending the doha forum here in council on thursday talks between the u.s. and the taliban were again put on hold after an attack on a us military base north of kabul the americans are hopeful the peace talks will resume soon let's speak to a serious bomb of vaal who's out of the home for him what exactly did not have to say. right here at the doha forum he talked earlier today and he basically said that. the united states is watching the behavior of taliban at this stage the united states is ready to do to take some steps including the withdrawal of some of its troops. at a 1st stage of the agreement if that agreement is implemented but at the time being the behavior of taliban shows that they're not willing to to. bring about
6:16 pm
a speedy solution at a speed that a solution for this conflict is saying that basically you know the u.s. is going to measure its actions and reactions in afghanistan according to the behavior of the taliban at this stage we understand that this is a measure of reaction in comparison to what took place in september when u.s. president donald trump said basically that the talks are dead after a major attack by taliban at the time so this is a different reaction to a different action which is the attack that took place 2 days ago in the north of afghanistan in which 2 civilians were killed. it looks like the americans are showing some understanding that there might be a lack of coordination between. taliban leaders who are here at the negotiation table and some of the field commanders who are to be and probably they don't follow
6:17 pm
up closely this is just my analysis is. that they are showing some understanding and showing even some patience but probably will change their behavior and come out and stop attacking inside afghanistan so that the talks can go ahead command a minute thanks indeed. for months of us now afghan aerial bombings are said to have severely reduced i source forces the military official said that around half of the group's $4000.00 fighters and thought to be still active across afghanistan but as a serious tony berkeley reports now from the province civilians facing the brunt of the sustained bombing campaign. this is the village of good a in one go hard province close to the pakistan border it was the stronghold of i still in afghanistan now it's a ruin destroyed by u.s. bombs it was on here that the armed group planned and launched attacks and carried
6:18 pm
out brutal punishments but over the last few months the u.s. and afghan air forces have waged a sustained bombing campaign that has significantly reduced eyesores capability. the joint campaign with the us has been big and effective it has been a game changer and will continue wherever they are we will target them i saw is in the process of being eradicated we won't stop until they are. that contrast with the situation 6 months ago when i saw all bolstered by fighters from iraq and syria was being described as a serious threat 2 weeks ago hundreds of its fighters surrendered to the afghan government in action district now it's estimated that only half of the 4000 strong force is still intact the afghan army has been helped by a string of recent successes against both the taliban and i still they are trying to. do try to stick to varieties and to explode and the city
6:19 pm
cost more civilian casualty and. now the proof. we have the spall to kick them like we did to tick more to to do from them play creed. to follow them to the end there's no question that i saw has suffered some major setbacks recently but winter side with its lack of ground cover is normally the time when it reduces its activities so spring time will be the test for the government can't fully focus on defeating isaw it's a war with the taliban is over it may be losing but i saw hardline ideology may be harder to defeat is supported by other like minded afghan groups such as the seller fees and what. they're not completely. eliminated but the progress is remarkable which which makes sense and for us long as you you have. what we're gonna.
6:20 pm
be pocketing a one a stone and be difficult to say that they have been completely eliminated the u.s. is trying its best it is on course to drop more bombs this year than any year since 2010 some believe it's to bring the war to an end before next year's u.s. presidential election but it's costing civilian casualties according to u.n. agencies so far this year american bombers and unmanned drone strikes have killed a record number of 600 people including children and wounded 300 more these angry villagers staged a protest after a recent u.s. bombing killed 20 pine knot workers who were resting under a tree. it's the rural communities that are suffering the most in the bombing and fighting. broke with this but our villages destroyed our mosques destroyed other villages as well we lost our people our lives documents will every family lost loved ones including women and children. the war will eventually come to an end but
6:21 pm
it's clear there will be no winners tony berkeley al jazeera nangarhar province. michael semple is a former deputy e.u. special representative to afghanistan and says that the u.s. and afghan military aren't the only forces pushing back against eyesore. we have a war under war within a war the main war is the afghan government supported by the us fighting against the afghan taliban for comparable of the country but within that war we have the islamic state trying to establish itself in afghanistan and being attacked by all sides it is facing a attacks from the afghan government and the u.s. military the afghan taliban are also fighting against islamic state in fact there is a visceral hatred between those 2 groups and this is what i would do describe our war
6:22 pm
within a war. the taliban remain committed to their jihad to try and win control of afghanistan and they see di as potentially a. a mortal enemy because they are vying with the taliban for control of this jihad so actually it's not just the americans the afghan government who are fighting against eisel they the taliban have spent much of the past year and committing some of their best forces to attacking eisel. india's home minister says that he's willing to discuss suggestions for changes to the new citizenship law following days of protests the u.s. and the u.k. this you travel advisories for northeastern states where it least 5 protesters have been killed the law allows minorities from neighboring countries who are facing persecution to apply for citizenship but muslims are excluded i was there
6:23 pm
a sale raman is in the epicenter of unrest against the. various civic the society leaders are taking to the stage and hearty on sunday to discuss it and to talk about the issue of the citizenship have meant an act it's brought out the people as you can see in the thousands here to one of the largest grounds in the city for an opportunity for many of the community here here had very little chance to talk to each other because of not only the view but only because of the internet blackout communication has quite restricted these past few days of the world we're seeing here today on global day a problem in syngas an artist taking to the stage and also paintings being done by local artists to make sure that everybody who remembers what we're being has at least actually. believe that wives families children a whole range of demographics including a group of bikers i spoke to earlier one of the told me why it was so we're told to
6:24 pm
come out in numbers to express their anger legal piece of legislation that they totally disagree. we don't want to harm the heart of any people coming here who don't understand this big this monster is a big us here too and just in case you're doing this on facebook so there are some of them who are. close to our hearts to see this go away as far as going often as i have ever seen on one on one on the lighthearted party atmosphere continues here at one of the main grounds single at the end of course is not that unity but the community had to meet each other certainly out. days of internet shutdown of course people that are taking to the stage here are very popular performers hence the people you could see have many hundreds to hear them sing and speak of those those that are taking to the microphone a civic society leaders are saying the pressure will be continued i continued to put the pressure on the government when it comes to the citizen abandonment act
6:25 pm
they're not happy with it they feel that legalizing illegal immigration into. other minority groups will dilute the very make. culture that they want to protect here. obviously this has resonated in different ways across the country and even on sunday we saw demonstrations from the ross try to beat carolina to new delhi and they will there are set to continue in the week ahead but the focus will be west bengal. yemen the internationally recognized government says that some people on there wanted this so the scapes with the help of backed forces the air force in the yemeni island of so contra was stormed by mit supported troops who then took off with those wanted by the authorities the governor of the island said that the plane had not been cleared by the control tower the u.a.e. 1st deployed troops to the island in april its presence there has fueled protests and divided residents who the rebels in yemen are appealing for international
6:26 pm
assistance as an abandoned tanker off the country's coast leaks fuel into the red sea. and yemen's government claim ownership of the vessel and its cargo of more than $1000000.00 barrels of oil mohammed reports now from santa. another casualty of your man's war the floating of the northern coast is leaking fuel into the red sea there are 1200000 barrels on board and hold these which one of the diesel are loaded are appealing for international help but. if the leakage continues the problem will be beyond the capability of the world community to blame the saudi that aggression on our country as they have refused to allow us to unload the shipment and pay the monthly salaries of public employees as agreed to in the sweden peace accord there are fears the ship could erode and explode and experts are warning that spill could have a lasting impact on the marine environment. the gulf of the red
6:27 pm
sea has to unique kinds of mangrove that did not exist in any place around the world the oil will block the sunlight from reaching sea plants including coral reefs and other fish. the poor over us was 1st targeted by the saudi. in 2016 when anna termed was made to a low the shipment of oil workers were killed the poor was part of a again in november 21000 the ship's been deteriorating ever. both sides claim their control of the tanker and there is a battle over who profits from its oil fuel is in short supply and is disparate really needed not all the forecasts but also for water pumps hospital generators and even to transport goods all around the country. bob.
6:28 pm
it's on our. we're going to weather update next here on out of syria then syrians under bombardment we hear what needs to be done to help those who've been made homeless. by. because it's probably the heaviest carbon footprint that we create as individuals and how one man's on such a saving the world is keeping everyone else's feet on the ground and that is for tiger woods captains his country to victory at the presidents cup the details coming up a little later. hello again welcome back to your international weather forecast what we are going to be seeing a mix of weather coming into play here across much of the levant we have a system that has made its way in from the mediterranean now on monday that system
6:29 pm
pushes in towards the southeast so we're going to see a mix of rain and in the higher elevations it will be snow baghdad in $1000.00 kuwait city it is going to be rain and thunderstorms potentially and you notice that line of snow right there along the higher elevations of parts of iraq ends well as into iran for tehran though it is going to be a mix of weather a few of the next few days we do expect to see monday a cloudy day for you by the time we get towards tuesday temps has come down to about 10 a lot of rain in the forecast but by the time we get towards wednesday things are improving with attempt a few of about 11 degrees here across the gulf expect much of the same we're going to be seeing widespread rain across the region now off and on rain here in doha but we do think the heaviest rain over the next few days will be over here a little bit more towards the east into iran potentially we could be seeing some localized flooding as well for doha here on tuesday it is going to be a cloudy day with a temperature of $23.00 degrees and then across the southern part of africa things are drying out quite nicely the satellite is not showing too much in terms of rain
6:30 pm
but in terms of temperature we're going to be seeing johannesburg at $27.00 in durban a $22.00. 0 . where ever you are. a city defined by military occupation there's never been an arab state here at the capital of jerusalem everyone is welcome but this default structure that maintains the can only project that's what we refuse it was one of the founders of the settlement and
6:31 pm
the story of jerusalem through the eyes of its own people segregation occupation this could mean nation injustice this is in the 21st century jerusalem a rock and a hard place on al-jazeera. hello again this is that from al-jazeera adrian for again here in the headlines the u.n. chief antonio tears says that he's disappointed by the outcome of the climate summit which ended with a partial deal despite marathon negotiations countries at the cup $25.00 summit in madrid agreed to improve their current pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but these new commitments will only be presented at next year's meeting. the u.s.
6:32 pm
special envoy to afghanistan has issued a warning to the taliban while attending the doha forum in qatar on thursday talks between the u.s. and the taliban were again put on hold. after a u.s. military base north of kabul was attacked and yemen's internationally recognized government says that some people on its wanted list have a scapes with the help of the u.a.e. backed forces the air force in the yemeni island of sequential was stormed by emirates he supported troops who then took off with those who are wanted by the authorities. jim is taking another important step in its path to creating a new constitution it's holding a series of consultative ballots before a possible referendum next year voters are being asked to confirm whether they want to replace the current constitution which dates back to dictator augusto pinochet and if so whether it should be drafted by citizens or a combination of citizens and lawmakers chileans will also be asked to rank the top
6:33 pm
3 priorities in terms of public services she has been gripped by weeks of protests over the rising cost of living of inequality the government's trying to negotiate reforms to appease demonstrators let's go by now to santiago left in america editor lucien newman is there so how significant is this last year it was a key demand by protesters wasn't it. yes it still is adrian i'm inside a we could call it a polling area this is being organized by i have to clarify by the municipalities all over the country 2 thirds of the municipalities are participating in this consultation which is nonbinding it's like a referendum but as i say it's not binding but it does have does carry a lot of moral and political weight particularly if there is a very very large turnout and the difference between this vote another is is that
6:34 pm
chileans as young as 14 can participate in the point of that is to see just exactly what do young people think they're not old enough to vote but they are the ones that are taking part in the largest numbers in. the protests on the streets they're the ones who have been calling along with people older than they of course for a new constitution so this is the kind of really push this effort along there was supposed to be a referendum on a real referendum on the 26 of april but the politicians the lawmakers and the government appears to be dragging their feet to really really get the conditions and and the priorities right according to many chileans and that's why this is taking part in a maze and it is important because it will really say what at the grassroots level what is it that chileans really want a d n. a a people of a of the least optimistic that this could bring the process to a close. the process of protest if you
6:35 pm
mean that it's very unlikely nobody believes that this alone will do it it could ease some of the tensions and it could add least help those who can make that the decision making process in their hands in other words the government and the lawmakers take a pass that reflects what people really want to this as i say is a grass roots decision it's a grass roots movement of people up at the municipal level with say what is it that they want not what the governments thinks or interprets that they want and this is being done online it's very interesting most people are voting with their smartphones municipalities like this one which is in a working class neighborhood are coming here because there are people who are going to help them do it online their computers hear from some of the elderly or some of the younger people who may not have a working phone etc but this is really going to have a moral in act and a political impact on what lawmakers do from now until april and in the meantime we
6:36 pm
expect that they will continue to be demonstrations and unrest here on the 4th rate this a. lesson america and it's a to see and even the reporting live from san. jago to say many thanks indeed bolivia's deposed president ever modellers faces a rest if he returns home his replacement the interim president jimmy in un as said the ball as had to answer for his quote crimes and that the no arrest warrant will be soon issued he's been granted asylum by argentina after 1st fleeing to mexico last month. turkey's foreign minister says that he'd be willing to send troops to support libya's internationally recognized government that potentially puts the turks on a collision course with the u.a.e. egypt and others they support the warlords probably for half the who's announced a final offensive to capture the capital tripoli after 8 months of fighting on the outskirts turkey which is already supplied militarized drones no other weaponry
6:37 pm
signed a military cooperation agreement last week that's bring in. who's here in doha he is the general director of the subject institute a think tank focusing on libyan affairs good to have you with us has turkey support the government in tripoli increased the threat of military escalation in the mediterranean well it certainly has because the essence of this maritime deal was one that threatens the the allege agrippa monopoly that the greeks the egyptians the israeli is separate and lebanese have had or are working towards and extracting a trillion dollar value of of natural gas under that is the mediterranean and the deal the libya's oil and with. and jeopardy and at least the it's the ability of those countries to offer these concessions to international oil companies and
6:38 pm
another energy companies they struck by disputing it in fact actually stops the ability of anyone to get under there and that in itself and economically as there times in europe and elsewhere is certainly. those that have challenge that. such as move recently in a i suppose it makes turkey's position over the last couple of months from being an interested party to one that was passively supporting janay an offer in the weaponry to having real skin in the game and being able to offer the more than just a shopping list of military items but real military to medical operation and a foothold into tripoli potentially. so where does this leave already fragile relations between turkey and the u.s. and its and its nato allies well it certainly complicates the relationship between turkey nato and then libya because if turkey doesn't even into libya which is now kind of on the cards given person at against remarks last week that he said if the if the genie invited him to come into libya that he would send a tech is true spending parliamentary approval i suppose that really does put the
6:39 pm
fact that if turkey was to be involved in military conflict in libya that nato would have to come on board and so i suppose it really does going to jeopardize the moves there but there is already a complex relationship between the russians and the turks and the u.s. because turkey has been procuring defense systems from from russia and is always almost on the verge of being sanctioned by the u.s. for doing so but it seems like they're going ahead regardless and despite any of the of the consequences but it certainly puts the g.n.a.t. now in a position where boy with a tripoli backed government the u.n. backed government in a position that he never thought it would be in which is that turkey is really doing the job of the u.n. security council who brought the government in tripoli into existence but has refused for the past 8 months to defend. and coming back to what you were saying a few moments ago about this memorandum of understanding that turkey and the g.n.a.s. have signed over drilling rights in the mediterranean that infuriated the e.u.
6:40 pm
to what extent does turkey risk the formation of an anti turkish coalition in whichever way it turns it's not going to have friends well it certainly already has them i think you know that the greeks have already expelled libya's ambassador but and have not broken up their militaries but they have their full of short of doing much with turkey now they met a nato summit that was in london only 10 days ago and i think in that respect they could have had the opportunity to really kind of remove this. center stage but they already realize that tensions already flaring there are already complications with northern cyprus is a relationship to 2 to greece in the summer and in that sense it's already infuriated the europeans there's not much more they can do falling short of a full military escalation so i suppose the options are limited and i think it's a lot of posture so much so far but there's no way of writing this off this is uncharted territories could still see so many thanks dave for being with us on a committee that. a constitutional crisis is looming in iraq's parliament former
6:41 pm
prime minister the announced his resignation earlier this month president sali now has until monday to nominate his replacement but the move has done little to calm protest us who are demanding a complete overhaul of the sectarian political system honestly restore such power in looks ahead to what's likely to unfold. from what we understand this is not going to help the situation at all and the main reason is because this that is the iraqi constitution is at the core of the problem the iraqi people the demonstrators that we've seen are saying that the reason they're on happy with the system is that their government is based on a parliamentary system and they want a presidential one that means that they have a right to elect their own leadership now what is going to happen as of monday at midnight the president has to nominate a name for the next prime minister and then what will happen is that person will have 30 days to put together a cabinet which will then all go to
