2:19 am
i'll show barbara patty gull haines. joining us from washington dc. patty just talk us through the background to this deployment. well, the background is whenever a new president takes over, especially if they're from a different political party from their predecessor, they tend to review exactly what military moves were made. and we saw this with joe biden. early in his presidency, he decided to not bring troops home from germany. so this decision was jamalia probably has a lot more to do with the election or the, the government situation that you just mentioned. but really they go through, they review and the bottom line is this, at the end of his presidency, he'd already lost the election for president. donald trump decided to move all of the troops out of somalia. now commanders had to follow the presidents orders as commander in chief, but they kept the mission going. according to them. they simply re base the soldiers in other, in other countries nearby. and they said they continued the mission by basically
2:20 am
putting people into small, you're taking them out, putting them in. but now what they're going to do is just basically put all of the soldiers right back in and base them in somalia. now here's how pentagon press secretary john kirby described the mission. i want to remind that those forces, as they have been, will continue to be used in training advising, and equipping partner forces to give them the tools that they need to disrupt. degrade and monitor our bob. our forces are not now, nor will they be directly engaged in combat operations. the purpose here is to enable a more effective fight against our bob by local forces which and bob has increased in their strength, imposes are heightened right. yeah. parties interesting. they to pull out as you were talking about there, they didn't pull troops out of germany. they have of course pull troops out of, of janice town as part of this trying to avoid forever wars policy that they had what is the relationship between somalia and the us that would encourage the us to
2:21 am
actually put a fixed group of troops and they're not well i think this, it probably has a lot more to do with what they see is the counterterrorism threat. it could be a vague reference to what we now know from the predator, his predecessor, donald trump. according to his former secretary of defense, mark esper, trump, at one point demanded that all us embassies in all of africa be shut down in every us. true pre removed from africa. so it could be a subtle acknowledgment that did by demonstration is going to take a different tact. and really all of the discussions from the pentagon in the white house. the focus wasn't so much on helping the somalia, somalia, it was about counter. and elisha bob, which john kirby said was growing in strength that their emissions were not just in the region, but they wanted to target american interest as well. and so they're really just focusing on the fact that in this time they believe that they've lost situational awareness. and that al shabani has gotten stronger and they need to counter that in
2:22 am
the region. now one thing i think it's important to point out, kirby said that they would not to get involved with direct military combat. that's sort of a nuanced way of looking at it. because the u. s. does launch military strikes against allister bob targets and they are sending if you are troops and it was $700.00 now it's going to be less than $500.00. thanks very much indeed, patty, go him talking just washington dc. give us our president's dissolved parliament and promised to hold elections by the end of the year. it's a bit to resolve a long running political crisis. president tomatoes to soho and bato has accused his deputies of corruption. he survived what he said was an assassination attempt in february for bala and its allies appears likely to lose the majority in lebanon's parliament. and what could be a major blow to be around bag group that's according to initial results from sunday's election, where many voters wanted to punish lebanon's entrenched political establishment for leading the country to economic disaster for the saudi allies loving forces party
2:23 am
crystals. it has made huge gains. several anti establishment candidates also picked up for the 1st election since the crisis and the bailiff port explosion, i would say a divided parliament could lead to deadlock. potentially delay reforms further hotter, has this update on there was the interior ministry is releasing results from lebanon's sunday's parliamentary elections. but so far it's still not clear whether and any single grouping alliance or party will have the majority and parliament. but actually it's not even clear if any party or grouping will have a majority in parliament. what we do know from preliminary results is that the has bala alliance. that is a pro iranian group and its allies will be stripped from their parliamentary
2:24 am
majority for this will be a major blow for this alliance. this ruling alliance and they lost seats their allies last safe to new comers. candidates representing the so called change forces . candidates, which are not allied with any of the mainly sectarian political parties in this country. this is really a 1st and lebanon's post war politics. at least 10 new comers are going to take seats in the 128 member legislature. maybe they won't be able really to, to bring about significant change. but these, this minute meaningful number in one way or another makes them king makers because this new parliament is, seems to be very fractured. that this is what it's looking like. a very fractured parliament. maybe not one grouping, holding a majority, a deeply divided cabinets, which is going to make governing this country even more difficult. this parliament

a political stalemate in northern ireland and a threat to scrap a brags that deal john hall reports from hillsboro. orest johnson's visit to northern ireland meeting separately with nationalist and unionist party leaders hasn't done much to encourage a return to power. sharing government is was them. it was a lively meeting with us. he's. it's tough, i think is the word. i mean, we're not, we're not here to to be around the bush. sure to, to try and sugar cose, anything. this is a very serious situation. she fain say they're willing to get back to work. but the democratic unit, his body is boycotting the store much assembly over post breaks in trade arrangements known as the northern ireland protocol that imposed border checks on goods leaving great britain for northern ireland. the protocol was introduced to prevent a hard border on the island of island, and some unionists say it undermines northern islands place in the united kingdom.
2:27 am
johnson's government has threatened unilateral changes to the protocol if negotiations with the e. u. fail his plan to introduce legislation to make that possible effectively undoing and international treaty was described as reckless by sinn fein and received a non committal response from the democratic unionists as well. i want to see northern arms placed within the united kingdom, fully respected, and fully restored. i haven't seen the proposals yet, so i'm not making any judgments on what the government may do until i see what it is they're going to do. we've heard the words now we need to see the action. the problem is a majority in northern to actually support the protocol, even if they don't think it's perfect. including shin fane and moderate unionists who see the economic advantages of northern ireland remaining in the european union single market for goods effect. the prime minister appears to overlook. we would love this to be done in a consensual away with our friends and partners are now the problems
2:28 am
i stopping from these these barriers east west. but to get that done, to have insurance, we need to, we need to proceed with a legislative solution. at the same time as far as johnson came here hoping to achieve consensus of restore power sharing government. well, he hasn't done that, but he has set the stage for a potential breach of international law by his government, and for the further upsetting of a delicate balance of power that exists here in northern ireland. jonah hope al jazeera hillsborough shall anchors prime minister says his country. he's done to his last day of petrol, rex, all drivers and others who rely on fuel for the jobs had to queue for hours. so lank is embroiled and its worst economic crisis since independence, which has caused the weeks of protest. did martha t via the next couple of months will be the most difficult once vol lives. we must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices and faced the challenges of this period.
2:29 am
i have no desire to hide the truth and to lie to the public. although these facts are unpleasant and terrifying. this is the truth and situation. when el sanders has more from colombo queues, a stretching for kilometers it at every petrol station. but we're actually hearing almost the bigger picture, the real story from the newly appointed prime minister on the vicar missing her, who is essentially put the cards on the table and told the country that we just have petro for one more day. obviously they are expecting some shipments of petro stock over the next coming days, but obviously the issue of foreign currency is a major concern, a diesel, obviously, again, after days of shortages, the prime minister is saying that these will arrive in the country, but warning in an address to the nation, the 1st since he took as prime minister that the coming months are going to be some
