not get any further promotions so essentially their careers have been put on hold due to this according to the 2 admiral gilday is the fact that chains of command were not probably followed and the admiral commanding the strike force had not been told by the captain aboard the same vessel he was on that this letter was going out so he found in retrospect after this lengthy investigation that there were real command and control issues involved and that the reassignment of the captain should go ahead. egypt has called on the united nations security council to intervene in a dispute over a controversial dam being constructed by ethiopia on the nile river cairo is blaming if you hear for the stalled negotiations ministers from egypt sudan and ethiopia could resume talks on june the 9th after months of deadlock egyptian government worries the dam would take away water its people need to survive and if your peers sees

meeting. even earlier this week at the technical level and. even according to the sudanese a geisha minister they have an agreement to 90 to 95 percent of the issues and so there is a dialogue happening and so i think what the egyptians are trying to do is to try to keep the issue as as high up in high profile as possible to to to put pressure on ethiopia for a better deal. all sides have a lot of you know. pride and identity in this project i mean obviously the dow river is that troll to egypt's existence and its end its identity and its economy. meanwhile ethiopia has done for quite $6000000000.00 of its own resources to build this thing out and it's not seen. as point of national pride where it is
