8:24 am
which her mom has increased in their strength, imposes heightened dress. while you is herbert, we spoke to adela, he borrow her locker. he is a horn of africa, security analyst. he says it's unlikely that sending more troops to somalia will be a viable solution in the long term. just to give you a sense between when you know the period when the united states pulled out its troops that on many let's be honest. it's something like $700.00. and you know this, the number would rise to 750. if dad can stabilize the entire maya will be having different composition. i'm you saw has been somalia for 15 years. 15 years. and now it's transition to african transitional mission in somalia. and there are fundamental problems that have not been dissolved despite this transition. despite this relationship, the relationship between mogadishu and federal member states is not great. and then
8:25 am
the amount of money on that is the stability. the sustainability of the un peacekeeping mission in somalia is not very strong even before, but now that the e u has transitioned the way it's going to find african peacekeeping mission that will make it even further more difficult. troops contributing countries that is the neighboring countries and countries elsewhere that i've got troops that is close 220222000 forces inside somalia, not pursuing a unified agenda. they are pursuing parallel, you know, i individual agenda and that all those problems are there, 700 troops coming back into american troops not is coming in, will not solve such structural problems. i think my, my sense is that, you know, it's largely designed to count to other countries that have interest in somalia under hold off the rate. see for the u. s. is testing hypersonic weapons which can

8:28 am
a confirm directors and have the ability to lead the agency to do the most important things that it does. and that's unfortunate mission things like walking farms, trafficking things like taking close attention to gun dealers, make sure they're acting properly. and so having a confirm director in that war will be really important to strengthen the agency and therefore to reduce the risk can balance less. now, across puerto drug smuggling, canada has been found between the us and mexico. official say it's the length of a football field and runs from tijuana to san diego. in california, 6 people have been arrested, and more than 800 kilograms of drugs received, including cocaine, methamphetamines, and heroine, or france is getting a new prime minister who will be the 1st woman appointed to the job and more than fair. she is elizabeth, but one is currently the labor minister and is expected to help lead president emmanuel microns ambitious. perform forms appointment follows the resignation of john car fix. on monday, his departure was expected clearing the way for
