addressed by took a listen what these the proposal. for a couple on you we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter to 0. this is al-jazeera. this is the news hour live from dog coming up in the next 60 minutes. iraq's president submits his resignation saying he'd rather quit than appoint a prime minister who's been rejected by protesters. turkey lies out the next steps toward sending troops to libya's capital which is threatened by a wall. maryanne demasi and london with the top stories from europe including russia. leahy anticorruption foundation offices

run by the opposition leader alexina valley laptops and other equipment. also i will hear from an indigenous brazilian tribe embracing developments live throws it into. a movie dissimilar with all your sports and it's a busy 1st of fixture list in the english premier league with liverpool eyeing up a 13 point lead in the title race. iraq's president says he'd rather resign the name a new prime minister who's already been rejected by protesters president saleh has been trying to find a replacement for the who resigned as prime minister last month his decision to quit has done little to satisfy those demanding an overhaul of the sectarian political system this wave of debt. ministrations started in october but there were

similar scenes last year over the same complaints many say they've had enough of corruption unemployment poor public services and low standard of living hundreds of people have died in the 3 months of unrest and more than 20000 have been injured in a letter to parliament president parasolid said out of my came this to avoid bloodshed and protect civil peace i will not name assad danny as a candidate for the next prime minister just to bury is in baghdad she explains what might happen next. it's clear that the president is not willing to carry out what has been laid out as his duties in the constitution the constitution is very clear the largest ruling bloc in parliament has so nominate a name and that person becomes the caretaker prime minister until the country is ready to hold elections but since the ruling bloc is the group which is a group that's known to be allied with iran their candidates have all been rejected

and this is the 3rd one that has been rejected by not only the president but various other coalition groups in parliament as well as the people on the streets they say that they don't want any candidate that is before us by a politician by a political group rather they want somebody who is independent now the president has now chosen to submit this letter in which he stresses that if he is to carry out his constitutional duties he will be going against the wishes of the people on the streets and that is not something that he's willing to do so what he's essentially done is put the ball back in the court of parliament to force them to understand his position has been under tremendous amount of pressure but we know that he has been supporting the demonstrators on the street he also has the backing of the clerical establishment in iraq so we think this will be seen as a maneuver for him to try and dissolve parliament that possibly call for early elections which is something the. cleric in iraq has also called for ayatollah

grand ayatollah ali sistani during friday sermons last week his representative in karbala said that there must be early elections held so this is all happening in an effort to make that a possibility the president has now left baghdad we've heard from various sources that he's back in his home town until the parliament decides what to do next but for now they have to decide whether or not to accept his position and that is that he will not accept this candidate who is the governor of basra because there is such opposition to him and his record because basra is one of the poorest provinces in. iraq while it is actually home to 70 percent of iraq's oil reserves so there's a lot of allegations against this governor and that is why this candidate has not been accepted by anybody specifically the president himself so he's now put himself in a position where he says it's really not up to me anymore it is up to parliament to decide what to do next we're not sure who say me is the director of the center for

middle east studies at the university of denver and he joins us via skype good of you to be with us so we have a situation now where iraq still doesn't have a prime minister that's acceptable to the protesters the nomination being rejected now the president saying that he will reside where does this leave the country well iraq has gone from a political crisis that has been very bad and now it's gone to a much worse political crisis i mean if the president goes forward with his rest resignation that means the 2 top positions in the iraqi political system the prime minister and the president will be vacant so this just i think plunges iraq into deeper political turmoil you say this is a political maneuver and would president saleh have the political power to carry the day against his opponents. well i think. what he needs right now and let me just preface what i'm about to say i think president barham saleh deserves

a lot of credit for. the position that he's adopted he's event he effectively is you know pushing the limits of the law in order to preserve political stability in the country and i think what he needs right now is some vocal support from protesters on the street from the senior clerical establishment ayatollah sistani and from other political parties i think that will perhaps provide him with more. political capital to try and navigate this very dangerous moment that iraq is passing through that we know of course since the fall of saddam that iraq has been shut by outside political act as outside political forces the united states significantly and also iran where does that leave that right now what was thing playing out here. well i think this is one of the big problems with internal iraqi politics is that the people of iraq are not

fully sovereign and what i mean by that is that you know the united states but particularly the islamic republic of iran has a huge amount of influence over the. character and the nature of you know the ebb and flow of iraqi politics last month the new york times and the intercept published these you know secret cables that effectively you know documented that iraq is a vassal state of the islamic republic of iran so any type of you know decision on who will be the next prime minister who form the next government is deeply dependent on what the islamic republic of iran wants to do and this just complicates you know the political. debate inside iraq today so now we have a situation where as that of the palm it will say what the palmach does with this nomination ongoing protests as well warnings from president saleh of

potential bloodshed here how does this play out well it's unknown i think it's really anyone's guess but i think in many ways this issue highlights the core problem at the heart of iraqi politics today you have people on the street who are demanding an independent prime minister and fundamental political reform and a change in the political status quo while on the other side you've got to stablish political parties that are monumentally corrupt that want to nominate a new prime minister from their own corrupted group and they refuse to you know compromise so many ways we have almost 2 parallel universes here that are lost in battle and barham saleh trying to navigate this very tricky situation. thank you for giving us to tell. us. turkey's president says he plans to send troops to libya tripoli but as to been destroyed and says it will make the necessary quest if the

conflict escalates turkey says it wants to support libya's internationally recognized government which has been under a month long offensive by forces loyal to warlord who leave a half to the situation in libya has wider consequences for the region it's become a major transit route for migrants and refugees heading to europe so european governments want a stable country to stop the flow of people crossing the mediterranean there's also a new maritime border deal between libya's internationally recognized government and turkey it carves out a corridor between the 2 countries potentially clearing the way for oil and gas exploration but greece egypt and israel oppose that agreement and speaking of oil libya's known reserves are among the largest in the world at nearly 50000000000 barrels with up there one had reports now from tripoli. this is southern outskirts of the libyan capital tripoli where there's been heavy fighting

europeans. during a news conference in tunis libya's interior minister the war need that libya's neighboring countries will be affected if true police falls he says hafter is being backed by civil regional countries. we know very well there are a mirage he forces an airbase in the east of the country there are also forces from sudan and chad they have all been brought by have tar has given them bases and airports in libya without any agreements the situation is worsening as have to as warplanes target civilian locations in and around tripoli. who has voiced concerns over a possible turkish military deployment to libya while president of the land said last week turkey will not stay silent over what he called russian bear. mercenaries supporting cast are after his forces are supported by advanced weapons and troops from several countries including russia france the united arab emirates and egypt

turkey appears to be one of very few friends of the tripoli based government who are prepared to offer more than mere words to support it. the mexican government is appealing to the international court of justice after a series of disputes with bolivia mexico's accused bolivian police of spying on its diplomatic personnel in the past that's after it granted for bolivian president evo morales asylum when he resigned following a disputed presidential election but joins us live now from mexico city this is a tension between these 2 countries that is deepening what is mexico looking for from the international court of justice. stan as you mentioned there's been friction between these 2 nations between mexico and bolivia since the start of bolivia's new presidential administration under the leadership of interim president

janeen and yes and after all as you mentioned it was mexico that offered political asylum to former bolivian leader ever mortalities after his resignation following pressure from bolivia's armed forces but what we're hearing from mexican officials is that some time in november 9 individuals were granted political asylum in the embassy in mexico's embassy in law and since then mexico is alleging that the libyan authorities as many as 90 police officers have been stationed outside of the embassy they've been alleging harassment of embassy staff and are now calling on the i.c.j. the international court of justice as well as the united nations to help mediate the ongoing rift this growing rift between the 2 nations now early on thursday we heard from mexican president on this monday lopez obrador who said during his early morning press conference that he hopes that sense will prevail as this dispute goes on we don't know when these talks are expected to take place but at the moment it's that that conflict that to stet dispute this quarrel between these 2 nations that

sort of forcing there the hand of mexican diplomats calling on a neutral party an international community to help mediate this dispute stan what are we hearing from bolivia. bolivian officials we heard from got in loan got a clue is the foreign minister for bolivia in the past has said has accused mexico of wanting to interfere with bolivia's elections wanting to destabilize bolivia in favor of evill mortalities but what we've heard in regard specific to the i.c.j. talks we heard from bolivia is government minister attitude a muti you'll who has said that it's mexico who is threatening bolivia with was taking bolivian officials to the i.c.j. but he said today quote we will see you there and we will see who has truly violated treaties that the government minister they're referring to the vienna convention of 1961 which guarantees the rights of embassies guaranteed privileges to diplomatic missions what bolivia is accusing mexico of is harboring criminals

harboring terrorists but what we're hearing from mexican officials is that they are granting individuals 9 individuals including former former cabinet members former ministers of former leader ever bought out his political asylum saying that these are individuals who are have been persecuted by bolivia's interim government for political reasons stan but well thank you for that there's plenty more ahead on the news hour by corruption cases and to repeated election 5 years israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu faces and i'm president of challenge from within. and basketball rivalry takes to the court peter has more from the christmas day. syrian activists say near freezing temperatures are slowing the government's offensive on the last rebel hill province of italy and the fighting forced 130000

civilians from their homes this month many into makeshift camps the region has suffered weeks of artillery bombardment and is strikes by the syrian government and its russian allies many syrians are on the move north towards the turkish border but the turkish president has warned that he's country cannot cope with another influx of refugees from italy province russian backed syrian government forces are now focusing on capturing the rebel held city of merit on human now the area is key for damascus as it sits on an important motorway which links the capital aleppo once syria's largest city and u.s. president donald trump has tweeted about the situation in italy saying russia syria and iran are killing or on their way to killing thousands of innocent civilians in italy province don't do it turkey is working hard to stop this carnage white house correspondent kimberly help it gives us some context around the timing of trump's

tweet. this tweet from the u.s. president comes on the heels of statements by the u.n. secretary general where there has been a very strongly worded statement regarding the military escalation the concern about the impact on civilians and also the call for sort of a sation in the violence in terms of the hostilities given the fact that those impacted have been children so there is a concern sort of the world is watching at the u.n. level you add to that that the u.s. congress has been also watching very closely the escalating violence in fact so much so it pushed through a pentagon budget that included very tough sanctions against syria russia and also iran for alleged war crimes the president signed that into law on friday so it appears that this is on his mind and you have to remember in the context of this is the fact that the united states has already launched air strikes in syria on 2

occasions once in 2017 once and 2800 so there's no other way to read this except that the u.s. president has essentially alerted the world and the countries involved putting them essentially on notice that if people are questioning the relationship of the united states president invited the turkish president to washington last month there was also a bilateral offside unplanned unscheduled meeting that took place in london at those nato meetings so there is real questioning about the relationship the loyalties of turkey and many people putting that into the microscope here in the united states looking at the president wondering with this tweet what are you doing. music is government says at least 14 troops were killed in the village of saddam in the western region of to the bury on wednesday the interior ministry says the group was quote ambushed by heavily armed terrorists it says a fierce battle took place and several of the attackers were killed the security

he's done a great deal for israel and he is the only man to lead likud one sars supporter said that quote there's a feeling of decay in democracy from within the party and generally in israel even before election day this our camp was raising concerns about election meddling those allegations continued today. in april there were fireworks and a jubilant crowd as prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife took the stage to celebrate winning the largest number of seats in the israeli election. tonight is a night of an immense victory 5 months later in front of a sparse crowd a somber netanyahu addressed supporters once again after winning the most seats but failing for a 2nd time to form a government. there can't be and won't be a government that leans on the arab parties since then netanyahu has become the 1st

sitting prime minister to be indicted for bribery fraud and popular breach of trust charges he says are politically motivated now he's fighting to retain control of his likud party. on thursday more than 100000 likud party members will decide if they'll put their support behind the man who's become the longest serving prime minister in israeli history. or if it's time for new leadership former interior and education minister gideon sar is vying to replace him i think that it's a very good thing that the likud had the primaries i think that. had the courage to confront. and i think it's a good indicator that the days are. his last days in

power but netanyahu has popularity has remained consistent among his base the economy has been good and the security situation is stable during netanyahu is more than 13 years in power he's transformed israeli politics and shifted the country to the right some say he's divided the population and it is a battle against corruption chart. just he's attempted to deal with genom eyes law enforcement the judiciary and the media at work all over the world this populism. using the claiming that the courts and the media and the other elites are after me and i remember the of the people and also you have to remember that at least from the point of view of the right wing little you know it was a very successful by days and is really thought find out if he can pull off another victory even if he does he faces another challenge on tuesday the supreme court

will rule on whether an indicted prime minister is even allowed to form a government netanyahu has been dubbed the magician for his ability to pull off victory after victory and he is expected to prevail again and legal accrued to the national elections in march but his legal woes will continue to loom large he has until january 1st to ask the knesset to grant him immunity he would need a majority of 61 seats that is the same number he failed to get to form a government on 2 elections the test again i'm off for us there in west jerusalem. police in india being accused of using an authorized and excessive force against protesters at new delhi's jummy a university around 3 weeks ago an independent investigation by
