al jazeera. i don't like blame game but the dutchman is the real responsible man for whom i speak. 3 days of marathon talks that e.u. leaders and nowhere near agreeing on the walking pandemic recovery fund. well again i'm kemal santa maria here in doha with the world news from al-jazeera regional players mediating in mali's long political crisis have revised the proposal but will that be enough also iran's foreign minister calls for stronger ties with iraq on his 1st visit since the u.s.

killed a top iranian general earlier this year and a warning from activists in the pandemic and lockdowns of putting women at risk. so that a you may sing in brussels that's still going on and even with the global pandemic and everything it's brought there is still no consensus over how europe deals with the economic fallout they deserve into the 3rd day of meetings to hammer out a budget and a coronavirus buyout package and just so you know the kind of numbers we're dealing with this one for a start $2.00 trillion dollars that is the european union budget and on precision to now and then within that number you've got this $1857000000000.00 which is taught in significant in itself that is to help countries recover from the pandemic but that is also where the divisions begin on the one side you have for so-called.

all countries who favor loans rather than straight out grants are europe's 4 biggest and arguably most influential economies one the opposite there are also personal disputes to overcome and so the prime minister viktor orban he is blaming the dutch leader for the deadlock he says mark ritter hates him and is attacking him harshly. our correspondent in london is following all these developments. the austrian chancellor suggested that he did feel that some progress was being made and the possibly by the end of the day this the 3rd day of talks they might well be in agreement but all of that is very much to be seen because because of course the e.u. countries are divided between some of the biggest net contributors to the e.u. budget that include the likes of austria the netherlands sweden and denmark but it is the frugal 4 who are wary about this money being distributed in the form of grants that don't need to be repaid they're also deeply worried about huge borrowing from financial institutions in the e.u.

some attempt to be made to reach a compromise with the frugal for as they're known to reduce the amount of money available in the form of these grams but sweden's hit back and said no it won't even greater cuts to the grant levels meanwhile some of the countries that are likely to benefit from 'd this financial support like to spain and italy their economies hit hard by the pandemic have accused the frugal 4 of blackmailing of the e.u. so here we are in a stalemate and when i'm glad merkel the german chancellor arrived at e.u. headquarters 1st thing in the morning she was a little bit wary about the possibility of any lasting progress to indian today we are entering the 3rd day of negotiations and it is certainly the decisive one the various issues the size of the fund the way it is managed and also the issues of the rule of law have now been well dealt with whether they'll be a solution i still can't say there's a lot of goodwill but there are also

a lot of positions so i will join in working for it but there may also be no result today well as well as the ins and outs of the financial distribution of all of these this huge tranche of money there are a growing tensions between the dutch prime minister. viktor orban the prime minister of hungary ruto wanting a mechanism ink. clued it in any agreement that would force countries to prove exactly whether or not they were upholding e.u. standards when it comes to the rule of law viktor or ban has been under an awful lot of scrutiny in recent years accused of rolling back reforms of introducing undemocratic legislation in the country victor or banners basically said well if you include this mechanism in any agreement we'll will willow veto it so we may well find the dispute the dispute between russia and victor all about the railing as

a separate side problem the entire agreement but as the austrian chancellor suggested he is at least hopeful way to see. on to other news in west african mediators in mali have outlined recommendations to ease the tensions between opposing parties the delegation from eco us the regional bloc issued a statement after days of discussions with the governing party and the opposition did have a proposed plan but that was rejected by the opposition alliance led by the cleric would because. you didn't mention that because it made it very clear and indeed when they did very clear that as long as it was part of course that. nobody will come running the country would have been elected democratically and elected president as to leave these on the laws of the land nicolas sarkozy following developments on this story from dakar in neighboring senegal he tells us the recommendations ignore the opposition's demands. eko oss recommends

a new constitutional courts with judges appointed by the president half of the other judges appointed by what they describe as a neutral independent body to set up a core of 5 judges that would decide on the $31.00 contested parliamentary seats after the much contested parliamentary elections that took place in april many of those seats went to close members of the family of the president. or allies of him and so for the for the echo us body it seems that this political crisis is a constitutional crisis he did mention that there will be no dissolution of the national assembly nor will. resign he's been democratically elected and therefore he is illegitimate ruler of mali so one of the or the demands made by the protesters during the protest movement that we've seen the last couple of months

the opposition want seats in government the cleric. wants to see a different type of government that address the security concerns in the north in the center of the country so it'll be difficult for for these recommendation to satisfy all of the members of the opposition now echo oss has said that it will have a delegation that will stay in mali it gives a deadline until the end of the month for this constitutional court to to nominate a new judges so that they can the so that mali can find an end to this political crisis. hundreds of protesters are demanding the dissolution of the parliament in democratic republic of congo. the demonstrations in the capital kinshasa were organized by the catholic church which wants them to become regular sunday protests the church's parliament is blocking meaningful reforms it also wants an end to a coalition between the party of the current president felix just

a care in the former president joseph kabila. following these protests from nairobi . the calling for the dissolution of parliament and for electoral reforms and they say that the parliament isn't legitimate because it was elected in an election one and a half years ago that they say was rigged and under an electoral commission which they say was partisan and biased in favor of former president joseph kabila this could be less step down at the time of the election he couldn't run again because he already reached his constitutional limits of terms but according to league documents the opposition were rigged out of their victory and felix the security the current president was announced the winner now to security and could be entered a fragile coalition after that which is widely seen to be an arrangement that was meant to keep joseph kabila in power but from behind the scenes now that coalition has been on the quite some tension in recent months and these calls come at

a time which is he carries trying to assert his authority and joseph kabila seems to be trying to push back iran's foreign minister zarif been visiting the iraqi capital baghdad he held talks with the iraqi foreign minister and discussed relations which they say have been strained by foreign powers serif says neighboring nations have to cooperate for the good of the region without interfering in each other's affairs he also denounced the killing of the iranian revolutionary guard command the confidence of the many after visiting the site of his death. to save. some sort of money it was a criminal act it's a loss to our country and into the entire region and undermines the international if it's true. and to resume in the region again we reiterate that we can you know maintain sovereignty and territorial integrity over iraq more now from baghdad with simone a full team on the importance of zarif says it. well it very much is

a diplomatic balancing act because iran and iraq are mutually codependent iraq is heavily reliant on rainy and gas importance on imports of consumer goods in general so iraq very much must maintain good ties with iran on the one hand but iraq also needs relations with for example the gulf countries as well as the united states so this is a 1st visit by in iraq is very much an effort to try to reestablish and perhaps heal a little bit the relations with iran that have gone through a rotter turbulent period piece over the past few months. the me the new prime minister is somebody who was very close ties to the united states and he's somebody who is seen as being closer to the united states compared to his predecessor. to he's somebody who has vowed that he will restrain the weapons in the hands of the states and very recently he has made

a move to try to curtail the influence of iranian backed armed groups in iran certainly on the part of the iranian government there may be a feeling that their influence in iraq is per perhaps not as strong as it was during the previous administration and this visit is very much aimed at restabilizing those relations and ensuring that the mutual interests of both countries are secured not just in the security side but also on the economy side. iran's judiciary meanwhile has suspended the death sentences of 3 protesters according to one of their lawyers the men were convicted in connection with last november's anti-government protests more than 7000000 tweets using the hash tag do not execute were posted after they received this sentence is well syria's holding its 3rd parliamentary election since the uprising against president bashar al assad began 9 years ago thing is candidates are either in assad's baath party or

a loyal to his government they know how to look at that. syrians will elect a new parliament it's the 3rd such vote since the start of the uprising in 2011 the last time large parts of the country were outside government control president bashar al assad's forces have since recaptured nearly 70 percent of territory they lost to the opposition as in previous elections candidates need to be bettered by security and the credibility of the election has been further questioned by the exclusion of millions of syrians who left their country or have been displaced by the conflict. in 1000000 people in the north of the country for example won't have any representation in the next parliament and the deputies who are supposed to represent regime held areas are not real representatives they won't stand by the people they are beholden to the regime which has absolute power and control. but president bashar is facing challenges results of previous elections were not recognized by the international community the syrian leader will need to agree to
