3:07 am

3:08 am
thing that is likely to be discuss at this meeting of these 3 leaders when they sit down here at the white house on thursday, is really the, the focus of all of this that is supporting ukraine. a, in the midst of expanding nato membership, president joe biden's condemned what he calls the poison of white supremacy. he's been in buffalo, new york forties, mad families of victims of the latest mass shooting. she competency reports from buffalo. after visiting the sight of saturdays massacre at a supermarket in a predominately black neighbourhood of buffalo, new york, joe biden spoke specifically of the philosophy that underpin the guns rampage. that white americans are being replaced by non whites, for political ends, through government subsidies and immigration. a view that's being expressed in the mainstream rights of us politics. i call all americans to reject ally and i can them those who spread the live for power,

3:16 am
spread tad of chaos and the libyan capital. and then to come back in the elections of a solution, there was no future except through elections. the coup attempts have failed to day . we can confirm its over when i, with almost candidates and lebanon, have made big gains and sundays parliamentary elections. official results have confirmed iran by hezbollah and its allies have lost the majority the saudi lines. lebanese forces parties also made gains to become the biggest christian block, then called reports from beirut. many of the old faces are back, but a meaningful number of new ones made it into lebanon's parliament, which now has a new balance of power. the iranian back has been a party and its allies lost their majority, but no other political grouping or party can claim victory. the opposition may be
3:17 am
sizable, but not united. what is a 1st, however, and post civil war politics are the so called reformists, who want at least 10 percent of the seats. these are candidates not affiliated to any of the mainly sectarian parties. we have to be as the king maker, because we have not, we don't have to be in the polarization. we have to create a bridge. those new voices will stand in the middle of long time enemies. tensions have already spilled onto the streets. supporters of rival parties fought on election day 3 local observers also documented attacks on their teams by supporters, mostly from she. our groups has below. and among many observers, witness so many precious, especially in the elected districts of and bol buckhead by some of parties, delegates, and agents,
3:18 am
and even supporters. the she groups may have preserved the $27.00 seats allocated to their sect, but observer say they can no longer claim souls representation. or they does everything they cancel, intimidates, voters, candidates, and their representatives, and the constituency. and at the same time, does also a gun at the vote. so there's a vote which went outside the box and to their opponents. and that happened for the 1st time. in spite of their attempts to keep it contained through the ballot box. there is no doubt change has begun, but the old divide has bala and its allies on one hand and the christian lebanese forces on the other hasn't gone away. lebanon's leaders will need to work together to agree on a new government and elect a president in a few months. political deadlock is not unusual in this fractured country, but there is an urgent need to adopt forms and laws to rescue a collapse the economy and a polarized parliament won't make that easy. the divide dates back to the civil war
3:19 am
which ended in 1990 after which power was divided between sects. but lebanon's parliamentary democracy is in reality, a consensual democracy. unanimity is needed for the system to work and peace to be maintained than their ushers either. they root the british foreign secretary, this trust says she wants to bring in new laws to change parts of what's called the northern ireland protocol. they use one of the u. k. not to try to alter the post brags that trade deal on his own. have been warnings of a trade war if there's no agreement to haul reports from belfast. this is long c port, where customs checks are carried out on goods arriving in northern ireland from great britain under the post briggs in northern ireland protocol. it established a customs border within the united kingdom itself as a way of protecting the use single market. while avoiding a hard border on the island of ireland,
3:20 am
the protocol is now with the heart of an escalating dispute between the u. k and the e. u, and has led to the breakdown of power sharing government in northern ireland. i'm announcing our intention to introduce legislation in the coming weeks to make changes in the protocol. all preference remains the negotiated solution with the e u. suddenly that was the british government announcing its intention to take you to a lateral action if changes to the protocol can't be negotiated by promising to enact legislation, the hope is to encourage the e. u to compromise and also to repair devolved government at stormont by enticing the democratic unionist party back into power sharing with the nationalist she in fain. the d u. p who's cautiously welcomed to move, say the protocol undermines northern islands right to equal treatment as part of the u. k. he warned about the consequences of this protocol and that's why we
3:21 am
oppose to from the beginning because we recognized the political and economic instability. it would cause on the harm it would create for the union itself. the european union is likely to see this move by the british government as a threat. and it has warned about the consequences of unilateral action potentially including a legal challenge if they believe the british government has breached international law, potentially even down the line resulting in a trade war. and as much as the prime minister of foreign secretary, se they hope for a negotiated resolution to all of this, it's frankly quite hard to see the e u. capitulating under the shadow of a threat. the irish foreign minister said it was damaging to trust with a general lack of trust already an aggravating factor. i think that is a significant problem in northern and in a recent poll for present express trust in the u. k. government, which is a very low present for our resume, sovereign government. and i think within the conservative party,
3:22 am
there's all sorts of games being played, which we don't actually understand necessarily from here in ministers. and then there's another factor, which is the american factor. exactly. how would they want to negotiate their interest in northern ireland? so all of these things have not yet crystalized. i may have to wait for the consequence. all of which leaves the wider dispute and northern islands. problems within it. little closer to resolution. jonah whole al jazeera belfast north korea's leaders accuse officials of an immature response to its covered 1900 outbreak. qindzhong says there are inadequate strategies for dealing with the crisis and making the situation worse. john young's recorded another 230000 people with fever like symptoms, as well as 6 more deaths. north korea hasn't said how many people are tested positive for the virus. the world health organization has over to help with vaccines. the democratic people's republic of korea, dpr k, has announced to their estate media. their 1st outbreak of corbett 19 was more than
