attributes continue to pour in to mourn the loss of south africa's archbishop desmond tutu. ah, welcome to the program smalley as prime minister has accused the president of an attempted to mohammed hussein. rebell also says he's ordered troops to take orders from him directly present. abdullah from our jos suspended him on allegations of corruption and obese of power. now this is just the latest route between the 2 leaders who are accusing each other of delaying parliamentary elections. but brighton is a strategic advisor for these, the hon. research i think tank focusing on politics and security on the whole of africa. joy's been our via skype from nairobi could help you with this on the program. mr. brian can just begin with the fact that are we looking at a constitutional crisis because the president or the president doesn't have the constitutional authority, apparently to sac the p. m. yes indeed,

somalia has been in a constitutional crisis since february this year when the president's mandates expired. and so basically, the country is held together by a political agreement between stakeholders, the federal government, the federal member states, and other political stakeholders in the elections that was supposed to deliver parliamentary elections by today 27 december. and that has not happened. and that's why we're facing this crisis as also last night and this morning. indeed, it's a, is there a thought process that could suggest that the president miscalculated by picking this particular man as prime minister. he thought he could control him in a way that would suit his long term goals, which is what is a suggestion that has been made by several contributors on al jazeera through the day. i think that's right,

and there were indications recently that the prime minister seemed to be taking his guidance from the president's office. but in the last week or so, the president made a few decisions undermining the prime minister, cutty clipping his wings, undermining his independence. and it looks as though he's pushed prime minister of late too far. and this is the, the result. what do you make of the fact that the prime minister is saying to, you know, the military, the country, you take your orders from me, you don't take them from the president. well he's, he said that, but he said a lot more than that. in his last statement this afternoon to the nation. he said he called president for my joe, the former president of somalia. he told him that he is a candidate like any other candidate. and that he no longer had any executable authority, including over the armed forces. we've seen is that the service chiefs of the army

and the police, at least seemed to be with the prime minister. which leaves the former president isolated. but he still has some loyal, is truth. so things could yet escalate. further, how much of a distraction is this for some oddity politics? considering that the country isn't secure, and i'll show bob is always you might say over the brow of the hill, not too far away. it's, it is, it's both a distraction from the military campaign where the security issues involving else above. although to be honest with this government for the last 4 years, has done very little to combat about. and that has been a widely held criticism. but in terms of politics, this is the only game in town. the question is whether or not far module will be persuaded to step aside, either as not only as president, but also possibly as a candidate, maybe even leaving the country. and the prime minister will be permitted to

continue with the electoral process or whether we're heading into a major crisis and possibly conflict in the capital brighton for the moment. thanks very much for your insights. joining us from nairobi, thank my iraq supreme court has rejected a case file by opposition. parties contesting october's parliamentary election results. supporters of iranian back, she agreed, had filed an appeal against the little commission after suffering heavy losses blocking roads leading to the federal court in the capital, baghdad, a block led by a rival shia cleric to the other one. most of the c, mahmud abroad has more from banks out. the court says that it is not entitled to a judge in this place, and it has at he turned them to the addition to the judicial panel at the electoral commission. now, as you know, that have been that 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 lecture is 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 support is on the ground. they have been occupying areas near to dad's heavily fortified green zone for over 2 months. now, in fact, those supporters, they sit at the fire, they sit tires on fire this morning and they were chanting in this morning

again, its electoral commission demanding get a count of all the votes. my role is insisting that the us and its allies allow it to export its crude oil is the case ations. on restoring the 2015 nuclear deal take place in vienna, ron's foreign minister hussain a man of the land told reporters that her on will be pushing for this during the latest round of talks. has room to move back to that. 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's oil is being sold without any barriers. and it's money arise in our bank accounts in the form of foreign currency that we should be able to enjoy the full economic concessions that have been defined under the nuclear deal. they will map dosage of already has more from vienna. 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 ministers just said. that is the sanctions and their removal mechanism that the news want to see happened here in the 8 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 a 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 at the cobra hotel between the iranians 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, the sale of their oil because iran was once before the sanction came to place the

4th largest producer of oil in opec. they were producing and selling about $3000000.00 barrels of oil per day. and after the sanctions were put in place by the us 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 ratings reduce 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. plus, putting in northeastern brazil has led to the death of 18 people rescue teams are trying to reach those who are trapped. now the deluge came after 2 dams, birth following weeks of heavy rain. so in rivers of the towns across the state of sand. drum patty has this report. some residents have eaten. bruno ne, brazil resorted to piloting jet skis to help flood his families, reach safer grounds. others,

a network of us in organizations working to support human rights and democracy in me. and she says the international community needs to intervene to stop the situation, getting worse. it's very clear that the legal military junta woman myanmar poses in me imminent threat to human security in the entire region with thailand being the front line. and i think it's time for tylen and the rest of the international community to mount a multinational humanitarian of axis on the tiber. nice border to prevent the situation from getting out of hand to ensure their civilian protection for the refugees on the burn me side of the border. and for ty residents on the high side, you need some progress earlier this year by denying invitation. so a representation from the illegal who at to summit in october, november the head of the cambodian authorities, who in thin is the,

is planning to call me on my as a chair, i see on january the january the 7th. so this potentially could undermine any minor progress made by at the end of this year. and 2022 is going to look terrible for both burma and unless of the individual states start to team up with the rest of the international community to get of coherent and concrete response. not just the civilian protection in burma, miasma, but also protection of people in the rest of the region. because the out the out, the, the follow up from this escalating violence. it has very serious implications on regional security in the years to come. still had hill and al jazeera part of our look. i had to 2022. we see what's in store for europe powerhouse in germany. and from plus. i'm phil laval and roll texas,

which suddenly finds itself as one of the top big coin destinations in the world. but why all of a minus heading here? find out more later? ah hello, thank you for joining in. here's your weather report for asia. we're going to begin in india, we've had some rain dance in from pakistan. this is impacting northern sections of the country. the very real risk if seen thunderstorms here, even some hail, but toward the south of all of that, things are calm plenty of sunshine coach. he has a high of 31 degrees after se, asia right now we will get some sunny cells for a quote, the poor, 33 degrees, some showers in singapore at 33 and jakarta showers for you to be expected. the ne monsoon just throwing a lot of rain into central vietnam,

so denying over the next 24 hours. i think you'll pick up to about $5050.00 plus millimeters of rain through central parts of china. temperatures are low here or below average in shanghai at 8 and hong kong. just a high of 17 for you. then we got to talk about the snow here, 73 centimeters on the ground in he, coney, japan. this is a new record for the month of december, but here's the thing that snow now is starting to wind down as we head toward to stay, still low temperatures, cargo shima for degrees. but where those temperatures have picked up is across the korean peninsula and northeastern china, beijing at 5 degrees. that's above average for the sum of the year. that's it, sir. the. the mother nature's gift of colorful landscapes. a strong infrastructure governance arising. we're investors are waiting to flourish

. we're greeted. even flied by tradition. where beautiful possibilities are offered. ah, the me. welcome back. you're watching. i'll just bear with me. so who robbed the reminder of our top stories? somali as prime minister mohammed who's saying rebel says that he's ordered troops to take orders from him, directly. president abdullah, for about your has suspended him on allocations of corruption and abuse of power. iraq supreme court has ratified the result solve october's election in which he

o'clock because of a sudden movement one, the most feet of the court reject to the case ball but opposition party is contesting the outcome. iran is insisting that the us and it's allies allow it to explore to food all is negotiations on restoring the 2050 nuclear deal. take type of piano around 40 minutes to told reporters to run will be pushing for this. during the latest round of talks. south africa is observing a week of national mourning for archbishop desmond to 2 people are paying tribute to the man who rose to prominence in 19 eighties as an opponent of apartheid. during white minority rule, he won a nobel peace prize for his work. 22 was also the 1st black archbishop of cape town . let's go over to correspondent, i'm the miller, who's outside tutors residence in cape town. it has been a flurry of activity with people coming to pay their respects to the family. we've seen a number of politicians, prominent leadership in south africa,

come through to the 2 to residents just behind us and we're expecting president phil. i'm a pause to arrive any time from now. he has spoken in the last 24 hours following the death of the archbishop, and in one of his statements released he had said, the passing of the archbishop is another chapter of bereavement. nations farewell to a generation of outstanding south african leadership, which of course contributed to the liberation of south africa. the archbishop wasn't just a religious leader. he transcends at that sort of boundary by focusing on social and economic injustices. even post the dawn of democracy even being critical of the african national congress, the governing part in south africa. we felt had and managed issues around corruption, inequality and poverty adequately. this is a man who was very outspoken and had for that he was respected articles for me to

more details were given out earlier in the day about the funeral arrangements. but the bigger questions are really, who will, who call and who can attend the funeral. because cobra really is the big issue around this and that certainly does govern exactly what will happen in the coming days. they all a number of memorial services planned around south africa in major cities, different branches of the diocese of the anglican church from the capital pretoria to johannesburg. kimberly, and fairly significant memorial service and interface service will be held here in cape town on wednesday. this is really to ensure that south africans can participate as far as possible, given those cobra restrictions and the limited number of people allowed in one particular venue. now this interstate service also speaks to who the archbishop was firmly rooted in the anglican church, but really transcending religion,

unifying south africa and beyond race, religion creed. and then this is sort of the legacy of the archbishop. we do expect him to lie in state on friday for about 12 hours that way people can visit the saint george's cathedral and view the archbishop's party, and he will then be left in the church over nights alone. and i think the churches also made a point of saying deliberately that the church that he loved, and that's where he will be on friday evening before his funeral on saturday, new year's day. and that's to where he's ashes will be in turn for me to miller. thanks so much for the update for me to that forth in cape town with the u. k. prime minister boris johnson is facing pressure to impose stricter restrictions after more than a $122000.00 cases reported on friday. re challenge has moved from london by the

public as waiting to see if the british prime minister will introduce those restrictions. i words, has it a gas that the likelihood of the restrictions in england is receding? i'm not because i think i, his cabinets and his back bench m. p 's a very reluctant, very empty extra lockdown measures. they don't want them at all. they would much rather people make their own decisions and hated their behavior accordingly. rather than have the government imposed decisions on them and his back benches and his cabinet. i think probably fitting vindicated at the moment by the new data that's coming out of 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 on the kron about a potential habit that it could be read reaping across the that the health sector, the back benches and the cabinet members are going to say to restaurants. and we told you that this was an over gloomy and pessimistic outlook. and we were right to hold back or to recommend that you hold back for risk of further restrictions. that is most likely, what are johnson is going to be doing? calls are going in india for the government uncle to take urgent action on hate speech against minorities. several hindu leaders openly called for genocide against muslims just over a week ago. no one has been arrested. avi middle has more from the capital, new delhi. i hear the news with several people has gathered to protest wising speech in india. 10 days ago, i grew up with events. people cause a mass genocide, a muslim tenzing, similar to that of my, on my now, many of the cars,

all repeat offenders. and this features bench viral on social media talking massive outreach. but this is why all the evidence complete has only reduced to cases against 3 people and no arrest have been made so far. we can several lawyers, a piece of the supreme court test in and take action against what they see as an attack on india, unity and the lives of millions of fellow citizens. and it's not just mission. churches are also reporting a rise on this christmas a statue of jesus christ is vandalized in northern, in death and in the other parts of the country. 2 churches reported in the mob entering and destructing press and burning effigy of santa claus was not in god. does have 7 laws against his speech. recently, these were involved in, comedian, protesting 7 policy by the government. collins president has veto the controversial

media ownership bill seen as a threat to freedom of speech. it had recently passed in parliament. the government has been accused of trying to use the media law to silence the u. s. own news channel critical of its policies. legislation would have prevented any non european n c from owning us, taking a broadcast of more than 40 percent. now germany marked the end of an error this year with anglo medical stepping down as chancellor, after 16 years, her successor shall son his party, has signaled the return of moore left leaning politics across europe. but the regions other power sent a friend says, hoping to keep the balance as it is gentle reports now from berlin and paris. ah, it was the end of an era in germany. and gala merkel, 16 years as conservative chancellor, defined by economic strength, stability and european leadership in her place came

a shift in tone and direction. if not pace, a quiet man from the center left can accomplish civilly tape the guns all off. shoulders probably is more mircle style stability, but with an accent on social justice. his offer of respect for the working class, one vote is back from the populist extremes. his vision to turn germany into a manufacturing power for the carbon neutral age. there is not just a change in style and communication, but this is going to be a domestic transformation. monumental task that they have set out for themselves. but in terms of foreign policy, it's not going to be simply an inward looking government. because the world situation doesn't allow for that for a country in the middle of europe with no country has more neighbors as in this. and so there's going to be a global agenda and there is more of a human rights based approach to foreign policy. so 2021 ends with change here in

germany, the ascent of the social democrats signaling the possible revival of the left across europe. while in france 2022 brings in election in which president emanuel mack cronies, hoping things stay more or less the same for him at least a few months ago. the deal seemed to be done. my call was going to face my live in the far right candidate in the 2nd round. and it was, it was going to be the winner. as in 2017. now it's far more complicated because the far right is split between 2 candidates. and the 3rd candidate has emerged the right wing, traditional right wing validity because, and so the game is far more open that it's a seen. the axis of french politics has moved to the right dominated by issues like immigration and to succeed mccrory. we'll have to move with it. but like previous power, couples with political differences. think coal meter, all she rec,

schroeder, that's no reason to think sholtes and macaroni can't see eye to eye on europe and the world jona whole al jazeera paris bitcoin is giving a former element. the implant in texas a new industry crypto mine is pouring more over the world and offering millions for sport phil laval reports now from rockdale, rockdale, texas is coining it in bit coining it in. just listen to this. it is the sound of making money. the us now be destination for bitcoin minors and rural texas. reaping it here. we're hiring 400 more people like a fatter. we can hire mind springing up everywhere. solving complex algorithms. 247 to release bitcoin. it takes the equivalent of 30 years, average household energy to mine, a single one, but they made about $460.00 single mom in

a month. right. winston is enormous. a 100 acres 800000 machines and growing. we provide the opportunity to freight long lasting job and create a new market for people that never thought they be working in this particular industry. but my question is, why rockdale? and here is your answer power loads of it be say, this place used to have the largest alum in your plant in the world, but that close down years ago and left behind all of this extra energy capacity. now this is perfect for bitcoin because it needs a huge amount of energy to my in on mass. on top of that power is relatively cheap here in texas. plus, there are a huge number of bitcoin miners who have been forced to find a new how recently, because china found crypto mining earlier this year, i immediately decided to go to other countries leaving thousands of bitcoin. companies like pooling to get out quickly. so they went west, they're building here because of the reckless market. you can consume also,

or sell electricity as you want. just connected to the great. so it's lisa totally open free market. criptos light cabinet to politicians. hep senator ted cruz, governor. greg abbott. can't get enough of it, but even they can't control the weather. massive storms in february let a huge outages, millions, wet weeks without power. the grid here is creaking already. that's a lot of heat that we have to get of these buildings that these servers are located in. so there's a large air conditioning load that is also associated with the mining process. and it's getting busy at texas is bit coiling mining alone on cost to use twice the yearly power of the entire city of austin soon globally, crypto hunting using more energy than all of argentine. or we're at this point in life where there's a lot of criticism of i and if you think this isn't low energy, we're also the ones that are using power in the middle. the night when people have turned their power off, the generators remain more profitable. allow them to keep running so that when

you're home or your business or the hospital needs a different power, it's already there, rockdale, this is a success story. even the mer mining crypto at home as he takes beds on space. i have one last week. i've got a $100000000.00 guardian to come in and start and at that are money to build with where industry left bitcoin to write the lonestar state a big star for crypto minus fed lavelle, alice era rockdale, texas. ah, what you deserve me said robin. a reminder of our top story, somali as prime minister mohammed his same rebell says that he's ordered troops to take orders directly from him. earlier present, abdullah for about geo suspended him over corruption allocations.
