a kind of meeting of the free. well, the, she puts there and of like minded countries and that such like monte countries have g t to be united in their, in their perspective. on threats that the free, well the she might say is under. now those threats, of course, at the moment, primarily coven, 19 with omicron, the new variance spreading around the world. they have much to talk about on that front. in the u. k. on the current is expected to become the dominant strain of cobit 19 within a week or 2. it's spreading that foss, but then they are also looking, as you just said, there in your introduction at the dual threats of russia and china and say in the bilateral meetings that lives trust has already had with answer the lincoln, her us counterparts. and the new for a minister of germany, adelina there,

but they were both so. okay, so it's ok and that's why that's about ukraine, about the threats that they think ukraine is under my, went from russia. and that if russia does go into ukraine again, that they would have to be a proper response and a response that would make russia see that as a strategic mistake. that could be talking about other things as well. they're gonna be talking about the situation. i need here if the crises, the crisis in, in me and more and also iran and it's nuclear ambitions and trying to get negotiations back off the ground. again, we can go back to this, this free world. you mentioned earlier or actually that let's trust the foreign secretary recently talked about his love and her theory that it's all kind of gone a bit wrong. you know what i think if you will, if you're listening to the kind of speeches that trust be making recently you can detect their cost factor right times we i think margaret thatcher is, is one of the heroes. she is deliberately trying to model itself as a sort of as

a knee. and so she is saying that that has been drift in the western world. the free will to, she puts it since the end of the cold, cold war. that bad ideas have taken root those bad ideas. being too much relativism . this idea of an absence of objective truths that countries like the u. k. a spending too much time hand wringing over the past or whether the past was a good place or a bad place. and the responsibilities of the u. k. might have is because of its imperial history, that sort of thing. she wants sort of to be sidelines and to move on to be more optimistic, more pop shortly. and when she was talking to other foreign ministers from like monte country, she won't say it to be unity in pushing back against china and russia. now who she actually really talking to here? yes, she is probably talking to her camp spots on this message, but there are also many people here in the u. k. who are looking at this trust saying that she obviously has leadership, ambitions and bars. johnson,

her prime minister, is in deep trouble and the moments because of the many crises and scandals that he is going through and it leaves trust with her knee. i saturate language is probably talking just as much to her party with her leadership. my missions as she is towards the, the, the foreign minister gathered here, never dull in british policy. thank you. re challenge and livable today. now no signs of a breakthrough just yet it talks to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal. continue for another day in vienna. the u. s. special invoice for iran rob malley is due to join the latest round of negotiations this weekend. us officials warned of consequences if iran didn't return to the deal and to run a standing firm. the agency and iran are trying to come to an agreement on or, or basic on 2 things. one is the capability or the ability of the agency to return to one facility, one specific facility in iran,

where we need to reinstall cameras or that need to be there. and it has been difficult to to this. so we have been talking about these and the other thing is how to address a number of issues which need to be clarified. the agency found traces of nuclear material in places that had not been declared before. following the talks in vienna for us dawson, jabari. well, as the talks continued from 9 am the and a time on saturday, and they are taking parts in various working groups to trying hammer out some of the details of what they are trying to get. from each side, the iranians led at the reigning delegation, led by the deputy foreign minister, alibaba connie, who said that there are much more optimistic after their break. they had and they resumed this round, which was on thursday. they said there's seems to be a much more seriousness on all parties involved to try and get this nuclear deal

conservative views. if you mail activists in the village has she pushing for a better representation of women in politics, we like a political will to advance women's rights. we are not there just to fill the female coat us. we need laws that ensure that women are not being ignored by the walk. local councils are responsible for basic services such as water, electricity, and infrastructure. they don't pass legislations or deal with national politics. local elections could improve day to day issues for palestinians, but many say they want a general election to choose the political leaders. it's been 15 years since palestinians voted for parliament because of political infighting. 6 months ago, the palestinian president, modern bass again postponed a general election and didn't set a new date. the law. there are no indications that we're getting any closer to holding any parliamentary or presidential elections of him. no,

to be honest, we did not celebrate the arrival of began to troops crossing a border, but we hope they can help deal with the insecurity that we've been facing for a long time. the adf fighters hiding out in forest to the ground and tanks and armored vehicles as struggled to advance on the muddy road said they brought in greatest repair them. uganda and major general kind him of hunger is commanding the operation come. we only want you to, if you don't have the machines look for void, you don't have a machine is the route for day one is we don't have machine is got the and by the only thing we have is our guns fight. you can this government claims the adf for 3 suicide bomb explosions in the capital can paula last month. the adf is a reasonably from uganda, but his fighters have been hiding in the forests of congo for more than 20 years. you can then opperation is the latest in

south africa's western cape province, about 29 percent of people don't have jobs. the national average is nearly 35 percent or less unhappy with the government policies. that was what happened last year. so that's kind of an employment for a lot of those. what they went outside with you in problem. the forum has thousands of members who support a call for the western cape to secede from south africa. the province has the 2nd largest economy in the country, though supporting an independent cape say, a corrupt, national government is draining its resources to aid poor provinces. so effectively the people, the western cape, never get the democratic women always excluded from the system. they never get the government they vote for and the consequences of that are quite significant because it's africa is being badly managed and run into the ground. the people are the western cape or then suffering,
