a, i've been covering all of latin america for most of my career, but mil country is alike and it's my job to shed light on how and why a this is al jazeera ah phillips, the harmony watching the al jazeera news, our life, my headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. iraq supreme court rejects a plea by iranian back to opposition parties contesting october's parliamentary elections. verin's foreign minister says is focus in the nuclear talks will be on lifting of all you are sanctions to allow to run to export oil freely. also small is prime minister cries fowl after the president says he suspended him over

allegations of corruption plus i'm fil lavelle. in rural taxes, which suddenly finds itself as one of the top big coin destinations in the world. but why all the miners heading here find out more later and i'm diminished with sports cave 19. continue circles, big problems in the english premier league, while england's cricketers edged closer to the crushing ashes series of feet in australia. ah welcome to the news i iraq. supreme court has rejected a case filed by opposition parties contesting the october parliamentary election results. supporters of iranian back sheer groups had filed an appeal against the electoral commission after suffering heavy losses. now they are blocking roads leading to the federal court in the capital, baghdad, a block led by a rival,

shia cleric, mac, either outsider, one most of the seats mahmoud abdur, why it has more from the capital baghdad. the court says that it is not in titled to a judge in this place, and it has returned them to the addition to the judicial panel at the electoral commission. now, as you know, there have been, there have been a lot of procedures over the past month or so from the opposing political parties. those are the parties, the last many seats and the elections. and they have been trying to present legal evidence. they have been trying to convince the court to another the election is a to order the electoral commission to hold an account of all the elections. but now since the federal court has just passed, a judgement is not in favor of those political parties. so as you know, they,

the political part of the have supporters on the ground. they have been occupying areas near to dad's heavily fortified green zone for over 2 months. no impact to those supporters. they set fire the tires on fire this morning and they were chanting in this morning. again, it's electoral commission demanding, get recount of all the votes. and rusty is the director of the house of iraq expertise foundation, they think tanka and joins us now via skype from baghdad. good. have you with us on the program. so the court has made the judgement and the opposition are not very happy about this. all those political groups are not happy. what recalls to they have left well in the way or another, every one knows dad's the supreme court constitutionally cannot

reject anything, cannot reject the results, just only can certify or not sent to find it. so this is the main issue, then that's what the superior court actually decision aware, declared to day. now the most important thing is that what is the next step, which i think it's, it's now clear that there is some sort of a deal happen that pushed the superior court to make the good the judgement to make the decision, to make the verdict in a way or another and to reach their to make their political process reach on that age or which means dad to more or maybe tonight going to be a real negotiations on too many issues. number one, who will be the biggest block inside the parliament and number 2, what are the can do? who are the candidates for the prime minister?

because you know, in the iraq political system, a political process at the most important thing is that who are going to be the prime minister. and i think is the most important thing that the deal will focus on the whole b, o, b, graham software for our international audience looking into the politics of iraq. they will see she or groups who contested the results. so they will also see looked at the al serra, who is also a she, a leader, some would say a rainy and a supporter. perhaps he won the largest block of seats in the election. so what's the argument about if everybody that might says you might say pro rainy and did quite well? well and where another, i don't think it will be on that way. because even if we're going to say the pro iranian blocks, they can manage to have more than $100.00 seats. if we going to collect,

because the coordinating frame with marla key plus the new block that happened with the new album, the new sunni floor, they going to reach one hundreds on the opposite side or looked at us other who has about $73.00 seats plus or the other group, the other sunni group, which belongs to mr. how go see also going to reach me 100 seats. now the milestone will be the occurrence and definitely the katie b a because the katie b has about 30 took to on to $72.00 seats. which it make them eligible to be the milestone to say ok guys. 7 we're going to be on that night on this side all on that. so but eventually eventually the katie b cannot, cannot go forward to support magdalena because still nectar that has a real block inside the bottom parliament. yeah, the highest num, basha,

but maybe you will not get the high block inside the box. so if, if the katie p are going to be very careful in the way that they aligned themselves in a potential king pin making scenario and looked at or else others group is the largest as such in, in, in parliament as a is right now. but without a majority, how to politicians get over the fact that since the fall of saddam hussein they still haven't been able to, to really coalesce and work together. this perhaps is a turning point where they have to turn hasn't been to one me. the they have to work as a, as a, as a colorless group together a swain, if we're going to return to 2018, they overcome something like that by making a compromise, a big block between souther and factor. and now it looks like that

also the solder will make alliance with the fact they're pushing a molecule away and try to make the biggest, the, the biggest block, the parliamentary, biggest block inside the parliament to make the government. now how are they gonna compromise, mikey hogan, they satisfy him. this is another issue, but, but it looks like the deal happened on that way. and that's why it pushed the governor, the, the, the supreme court to make a decision. maybe in the next days we're going to see something like that. if it will not happen, the compromise will not happen. we're going to go on really struggle inside the parliament between the center and the granting frame, which is that do she are groups which maybe they are not actually equal in seats in a way or another because the car trying to frame reach about 65 seats while a so there has it's 73 seats. so it is not like us to remember something green port

very quickly. we are talking about parliamentary block, not the biggest block. so it show you that the biggest parliamentary block can make the government and the president of iraq will say, who is, which is the biggest parliamentary block. ok if it is in the car driving frame, which is opposite to sucker that he will, he will as them to make the government in one month. and i will say, of course, because i will say the next few days, quite crucial for all parties for the moment. emod rusty, thanks so much for joining us from baghdad. i think if you not one you must no wrong is insisting that the us and its allies allow it to export its crude oil as negotiations on restoring the 2015 nuclear deal. take place indiana there on the foreign minister. hussein i'm in the law. he told reporters parents will be pushing for this during the latest round of talks. has room to move back to one of the topics on the agenda for the ongoing nuclear talks is

a guarantee and verification of sanctions remove. the most important thing for us is that words and issues should take us to a point where iran oil is being sold without any barriers. and it's money arise in our bank accounts and the form of foreign currency that we should be able to enjoy the full economic concessions that have been defined under the nuclear deal, the map correspondent or such a bar. josie live now from the austrian capital dosa. interesting statement to be made wondering how it's going to be received in those closed door sessions. well, we certainly now understand that the next 2 days here in vienna will be discussing all parties will be discussing exactly what the foreign minister just said. that is the sanctions and their removal mechanism that the news want to see happened here in the 8th round of these negotiations for the news. this is one of the most fundamental issues, and that is the reason they are here because the u. s. left to deal in 2018 and

impose the series of corporate sanctions on their, on mainly the sale of its oil as well as the banking sector. and that's one of the main issues that is very critical for the new negotiating team that's arrive just earlier on monday, led by the deputy for mr. of iran. they are meeting right now behind me at the cobra hotel between the radians and the chinese and the russians. and the joint commission will then meet later this evening. and we're expecting a statement from the you negotiate and you host about what is to come in the next few days for iran, the issue of the sanctions is very critical. that of course, sale of their oil because iran was once before this sanctions came into place. the 4th largest producer of oil and opec. they were producing and selling about $3000000.00 barrels of oil per day. and after the sanctions were in put in place by the u. s. in november of 2018, and they were reduced to about less than a 1000000 barrels of oil per day. so of course,

their economy is very much suffering as a result of it. and that's one of the reasons the radians reduced their commitment to the nuclear deal because of those sanctions. so this is going to be at the forefront of what will be discussed here in the coming days of the cool, silly, and she said is the 8th round of talk. so we've seen round after round in vienna on 11 does how long this one will last a is there enough, but men to is that sort of the, the vibe you'll getting that there. there was a feeling that they wouldn't success out of these tools, or do you feel it might come to a inopportune and, and quick ending? no, i think there's a sense that these route these talks and this round specifically, they might have a break for a few days for new years holidays here, but they will continue until there are some kind of a deal. we also heard from the russian ambassador that is part of the negotiating team here. they said that he said that the russians, or even the i looking at possibly the beginning of february for some kind of

a deal to take place. of course, the americans are not very hopeful that that will happen, but there is a sense that these talks cannot go on forever. and of course, this is the 8th time all the parties, the p 4 plus one and the u. s. have come to the austrian capital since the europeans triggered the dispute mechanism of the united nations security council resolution $2231.00 in january of last year because they felt that this deal was no longer being abided by all parties. since the u. s. left a deal, so there is some kind of a hope that this talk will, could be this round could be the final one. whether or not we'll be successful remains to be seen dall. so thanks very much for the update dosage you bought. that for us in vienna, thus molly's prime minister mohammed who said robert has accused the president of an attempted q and an escalating dispute between the 2. well says that his suspension is a violation of the constitution since the country's laws. his house has been surrounded by military and presidential guards. president de la jo, sideline,

the prime minister on allegations of corruption and the piece of power. now the prime minister and the president to be blaming each other for delays in national elections. legit. you see what some only people agreed yesterday is the election, and it's the only solution that will lead somali people to peace and prosperity. i asked god to give peace to some all the people and the country, partially gonna be somali president was responsible for what happened when he made the extension. he named molly apartment if the lead the election, but it's a molly president with the election purchase every day. and whatever happens in this country to somali president will be responsible for, you know, there are recall respondent obama. how many ali has more on the political crisis facing the country? what's happening here is related to the president's decision to freeze the prime minister's powers. on the pretext that he failed in always seeing the electoral process besides some corruption allegations. and it's what the prime minister

denied, the prime minister described to prison decision is not constitutional. was going to continue his duties as usual from stressing that the president doesn't have the power to sack him or freeze his powers due to the fact that his term has come to an end. and that he, as the prime minister, is the only one who has been mandated by the somalis and international community to oversee the election and peaceful transition that's supposed to follow. one then the election of a new president in which the situation is so molly is returned until the moment that there are no efforts exerted by political factions. international community to bridge the gaps and reach a final agreement between the somalis, special between the president, whose turn came to an end in february 2021 in the prime minister, who had been mandated by the international community. and the political factions to supervise the forthcoming election. plenty moorehead here on the news are including

kilometers, are further down the my river from minnesota or on the way we saw an attack helicopter parade are patrolling along the border and we got out of the van and there was the sound of gunfire. immediately. small arms fire, automatic gunfire. small percussive bangs that appear to be from mortars and louder bangs that are, that must be from heavier artillery to it. there's a slight lull at the moment word. so we were just speaking to the time military who are patrolling nearby. they said that sir, there have been some hit on this side of the border. they've also fired warning shots across to the other side to try and stop anyone coming over here. but clearly the situation is very fluid. we've also just seen a group of villages from across the river on the mere mass side coming across. they say it's very unsafe over there, as we understand it. at the moment, there are various different groups belonging to the correct ethnic armed groups.

fighting against the myanmar military and the myanmar border force. one of the reasons they're fighting here is because the river is shallow. it's very easy to cross at the moment. no one's out there. the locals on this side staying well within the boundaries of their houses. at the situation remains very tense. e k prime minister boris johnson is facing pressure to impose stricter restrictions . after more than a $122000.00 cases were reported on friday, where we challenged says lie for a st london. and it seems that the prime minister is certainly getting all the data, but is he going to perhaps put more restrictions on england? so he hasn't had any data since friday. today is going to be the 1st day back after the 2 day christmas holidays for him to have

a look at the new numbers and see what he thinks about them. take them advice from the chief scientists and the chief medical officer and make that decision. i would hazard a guess that the likelihood of the restrictions in england, he's receding because i think a, his cabinets and his back bench m p. 's are very reluctance. they're very empty. extra lockdown measures. they don't want them at all. they would much rather people make their own decisions and tailored their behavior accordingly. rather than have the government imposed decisions on them and his back benches and his cabinet, i think probably feeling vindicated at the moment by the new data that's coming out . so various studies around the world, which suggests that all micron is a variance is less severe. it's of obviously much more infectious and delta, but it seems to be less severe and that means that they are saying, okay, well,

we told you, so those scientific advisors have been all gloomy. they say about all micron about a potential havoc that it could be reaping across the that the health sector, the back benches and the cabinet members are going to say to at restaurants. and we told you that this was an over gloomy and pessimistic outlook. and we were right to hold back or to recommend the you hold back from restrict the restrictions that is most likely what johnson is going to be doing. of course, rory and for instructional audience. we know that boys johnson is the prime minister of the united kingdom, but that we always sort of have a coffee with that by saying that scotland, wales, and northern ireland have brought in their own measures to the international audience. i'll be confused. why the prime minister isn't imposing his thought process on those countries? it's the peculiarity of the united kingdom, the fact that you have england, which doesn't have its own parliament. but scotland, wales and northern ireland,

which do add into that makes the fact that those parliaments in the devolved nations as their holes more left wing than the u. kay's parliaments, which value receives england? and you can see why the, the government in the u. k, which obviously england is reluctant because it's more right when to impose locked down restrictions. but the left wing governments of scotland, wales and the that that the power sharing one nor the knowledge. i said they're more likely to say, i mean have, we think that it's public safety, public health is the priority here. we're going to prioritize that rather than freedoms. really challenge in london. thanks so much. cronum, i was deaths in true have left at least $10000.00 children without one or both of our parents. it's been described as the hidden pandemic and has left many poor families without the bread winner. mother sanchez report from the capital lima
