2:04 pm
ultimately they are responsible for the president himself. previously joined to the 2014 constitution had a divided executive between the president and the prime minister. but now really the executive power lies mainly with the president. under the decree, of course, normally the parliament should be approving the government. but according to the new decree, that's not the case. so, you know, there will certainly be among the president's critics, the question the government. but nonetheless, even supporters of the president said something that he needed to do to sort of name a new government sort of stepped forward, a vision going forward to people who supported the move on when you had become more impatient were thing that really, that they needed this the a clear plan from him going forward about what was coming, particularly as it's been very little communication from the presidency about his vision going forward. what you'd like to implement in terms of policies in various sectors. speaking of those policies, fidel, what can you tell us about the economic minister and who's been chosen from

2:07 pm
a precedent to be held probably shortly by the commission notice of the election commission. maybe the will announced that the early residence, the initial with as you know that i only last night a day and i said the initial a turn out 41 percent and that includes only 95 percent of the pudding get station. so it is not a final enola cases, but in all cases, by virtue of the law, they have to announce the results within 24 hours. i. so before 6 p. m. local time . today, the results has to be at analysis. but this not, this is not the, it is not defined the visits in old cases because as you know, that by virtue of the election low, that is a lot of procedures. a lot of his steps that have to be taken before at the final results out. and those as you know, that that is still the, but the boy couldn't approach his because at the federal court
2:08 pm
a cannot endorse the final results unless it go, it goes through a certain procedures that includes a receiving objections and also receiving get a piece from that candidates, so it seems that there's going also to take a probe the a few days until we hear and uh, we get to find them as se, certainly some way to go yet in terms of that voted, turn out. what can you tell us about why it was so low, the lowest in 5 elections? hey, well, everybody here agrees on that fact that the turnout is very low and also compared to the turnout in previous selection. and that includes the you mission, chief here, and she, and also also in a presser last night, that the turnout is very low. but that could be attributed to that objection to be putting campaigns by many people in iraq,
2:09 pm
especially that evolution was the, the people who rose up again is to corruption and mismanagement back in 2019. and what is known here as the to street movie. and by the way, many observers suggest that the newly formed parties, which is which includes also that many people from the to shreed movement may have one of the majority of the votes. because, because of the fact that many people look at believe that the old political parties are accused of corruption of mismanagement and they do not believe this election is going to bring any change unless the new face is that any, unless the, all the pieces out of it change women, i can keep as pilot is going to take over is going to face a lot of challenges. i mean, the new authorities is, are going to face a lot of challenges, especially in terms of the economic and political upheaval here. okay, we'll make sure you keep us posted there, mahmoud abdel while hed live for us in baghdad. thank you and are made rushed. he
2:10 pm
is the director of the house of iraqi expertise, fantasia, and i think tank. he says the balance of power is changing in iraq. well, what's happened yesterday it was a, a. busy magnificent think is that all the political parties war actually were shocked because of 2 things. number one, the low participation in the elections, and number 2, what we hearing now is that, say roon is getting the highest number of seats ever since 2003. it's the only political she out political party that get at least now that's what i'm hearing is about more than 70 seats, which is something that didn't happen since 2003. it show you that we are we going to be in a new era off of balancing the power in a way or another. we going to see something a jani was something very strange. and the iraqi politics is that we will really
2:11 pm
have a majority of a political block inside them inside the parliament. now who actually what happened to reach into this situation is actually the low participation that we all know since yesterday the u. s. in u. k. a warning their citizens of a security threat in afghanistan's capital, american and british citizens have been asked to stay away from hotels in cobble. if all is a racer, rise in isola tax. many foreigners have left as afghanistan after the u. s. withdrawal in august, but some aid work is in journalists remain. the taliban meanwhile, is expected to meet representatives from the european union in cut as capital. after holding talks with the us delegation, washington says they discussed security evacuation flights and women and minority rights. while the u. s still refuses to recognize the taliban government. it's grayed to provide humanitarian aid directly to the afghan people. same as rabby
2:12 pm
explains the expectation. both sides have from talks in jo. hm. the europeans want primarily to guarantees the same thing. the americans want to make sure that have gone, hassan does not become a staging ground for any kind of attacks by arm groups such as al qaeda or the islamic state, and they'll be one. it guarantees that there won't be another refugee crisis, like we saw in 20152016 where refugees of from, of got us on in syria streamed into european borders. they don't want anything like that. again, how they achieve that is by delivering humanitarian aid to neighboring countries around have gone on and inside of gone on to that. and european union will be looking for guarantees of being able to fairly access all parts of august on to make sure aid is not seized at airports or at border crossings by the taliban government as it goes into the country. and they'll be looking for a human rights guarantees as well, for minorities and women. things that the taliban is either been unable or unwilling to guarantee. so far as the security situation continues to worsen in
2:13 pm
cobble, it is becoming more difficult to make those guarantees. what is the taliban going to be looking for? well, they're looking for engagement. they want international legitimacy to be able to shore up the power they seized in cobble. they also want economic guarantees. and what that means is they want assets to the tune of nearly $10000000000.00 that have been frozen by the united states and european allies. they want those afghan government assets and reserves opened up for what they consider themselves to be, which is the current government of afghanistan. they also want the european union to make good on what many are looking at an estimated $351000000.00 in humanitarian relief aid. they want that to come quickly and come fast inside the country. but european analysts have said that that is likely not going to happen any time soon. this is going to be a slow process. there is a trust deficit here. at the taliban have remained enemies for the europeans and the united states for 2 decades. now it's going to take a long time to close that gap. still ahead on al jazeera will justice be served to the assassination of one of africa's most reviewed revolutionary leaders. who bring

i getting great salaries later in life. so while the nobel committee haven't done anything to write the sort of geographical agenda and balances of the prize, which is going to take a long time to do, maybe they can argue that explaining these issues that might affect the poor might affect immigrants, is more important than, than writing those gendering balances in those geographical imbalances in the nobel prize. to buchanan foss, i now with a trial for those involved in the assassination of former president thomas sent kara, is beginning 14 people are accused of complicity in his murder. saint kara came to power in 1993 and was shot dead 40 years later. he was a revolutionary leader who had called on african countries to default on unfair international debt. among the suspects, his former president, blaze combed pyro re, he's in exile in a neighboring ivory coast. after being asked to in 2014 nicholas hock is following
