ah. the rocks influential cheerleader, mac tada, al sada, is demanding an early election and has said dialogue with the government has proven to be futile. in a televised address, he urged his supporters to continue with their sitting at the parliament building until their demands are met. sanders block one the most seats and last year's parliamentary election. but there's been a political deadlock ever since october bashar, but they mark baba on hockey, mom. most of the people are tired of the ruling class, the whole of it, including some of those who belong to our block. therefore take advantage of my presence to and corruption, god willing, there will be no place for the old guard regardless of their affiliations. this will happen 1st through a peaceful revolutionary democratic process. second, an early democratic election should take place. after dissolving the current parliament dosage of ari has more from baghdad. they share leader,

very defiant, and determined and standing his ground. he put to rest. all speculations ever ongoing here over the past few days that there was a lot of behind the scenes meetings taking place and that eventually he would join a dialogue process. but certainly that is not going to happen, as he said. what is critical now is whether or not the various other factions within the government will accept his call. and there is no really functioning government at the moment after the elections that were held last october. since we'll cut off souther instructed his m p, 's 73 of them to withdraw in june. the country has been in limbo. so the question now is whether the other sides will accept the fact that there should be another election health. the next process that will come is the speaker, parliament would have to basically dissolve parliament and then they will have to announce new election. it is unclear what the other side that will be involved in

this will have to say in the coming hours, we'll have to wait and see, but certainly most other us, other standing his ground urging these protesters to continue. what he calls is a peaceful revolution that will eventually, hopefully get their demands. met the ordinary iraqis. we've been speaking to say they are tired of all these politicians and they're back and forth and their divisions. they just want to see their country back on its feet and the infrastructure to be funded properly, so they can get on with their daily lives. fossil is travadone is director of the center for the study of the middle east that indiana university. he says, the resignation of thought a supporters from parliament has made a political resolution difficult to achieve. instruct of the 73 members of his parliamentary party to withdraw and they are all complied. they apparently thought that with for some sort of that lock. in fact, under the rocky electoral system,

whoever came in 2nd for those states was elevated, which is to say, it gave the other parliamentary parties. actually he did them a favor. so now he's trying to gain the system and it seems that sound the only thing he can think of to call for your election, which actually is not unreasonable 10 months after the elections in october. we still don't have government. but of course, the parliament would have to approve the dissolution of itself in order for us to go to new elections. they are radically, if you could get the demonstrators out of the parliament building or if parliament met somewhere else, it could be like the government, but there is a candidate erotically get the confidence of parliament at least says, prime minister designate to form a new cabinet in that most of the photo dealt himself out

of parliament by through the resignation. so on the other hand, it would not be the 1st time the 1st and the career of that 2003. so it's entirely possible that standing what he says. now, it may enter into negotiations. he is somewhat, both us president joe biden has signed a new executive order aimed at making it easier for women to travel between states to get an abortion. it's his 2nd executive order on abortion, since the supreme court overturned the roe v wade decision, the guarantied a woman's right to the procedure. mike hannah reports from the white house. another salvo in the battle to restore reproductive rights. the 1st meeting of a task force which will explore ways in which to restore a woman's right to choose and protect her in the process executive or make sure health care providers comply with federal loss. women don't face delays or denials,

medically necessary care. and this executive order adventures, research and data collection to evaluate the impact of people dr. health crisis is having on to hell and other health conditions. president biden signs and executive order director of the secretary of health to advance access to reproductive health care services. and we're going to continue forward, including, for example, and making sure medication. abortion is available to women throughout this country . and we won't stop. but the executive order is limited in scope. and president biden has long insisted that congress needs to pass legislation, restoring the rights embedded in roe. v wade. president biden says he'll support removing the filibuster in the senate in order to allow reproductive rights legislation to pass by a simple majority. this is described as a nuclear option,

which president biden has generally opposed in the past in a possible sign of things to come, the head of november's midterm elections. the fight to restore reproductive rights was boasted by a significant victory at state level. voters in the conservative state of kansas have rejected the measure that would have repealed the right to an abortion that had been part of the states constitution. they voted no particular neighbor neighborhood and no one came across the borders of cages. placene this for the american people vote to preserve and protect the right and refusal, let them be ripped away by competitions and my ministration has are back. the department of justice has also weighed in announcing that total through the state of idaho, which is one of the many in producing an abortion ban. in the wake of the supreme court decision. the contention that the state is contributing

information in the country to think. maybe i don't know where the rest of the country stamped on access to the fund, a mental right. and to be reminded that, you know, public holing has shown the family planning and a woman's right to choose is not a red or blue issue. it's been a popular issue to maintain, you know, a family's rights to, to plan when and how to have children. and that's something that most americans believe in, and it's a right that they're not easily going to give up. the taiwan has scrambled jets to warn off 27 chinese air crafts in its defense sun. shortly after us house began, nancy pelosi ended her controversial visit to the island. america's 3rd most powerful politician was there for less than a day. stressing washington support for taiwan and response. china's military is conducting a series of drills and 6 exclusions owns that surround taiwan. 3 of the zones,

beijing might push the envelope of assertiveness a towards taiwan. and that's something we're going to be watching very closely today. china has described these drills, including the drills that we've already seen as being unprecedented. and officials quoted in state media today said that they were to demonstrate a war plan rehearsal, and also to show the u. s. anti one. the consequences of further provocation. chinese analysts quoted in state media also said that the fact that china did not intercept nancy pelosi, his flight was not a sign of failure. but instead, this is being used as an opportunity to progress the goal of reification all still ahead on l to sera the 1st grain ship to leave ukraine. since the russian invasion passes inspection and the stand, poland hids' to lebanon. and i have been wooed by politicians ahead of the general

a new executive order aimed at making it easier for women to travel between states to get an abortion in june, the supreme court overturned a landmark ruling, the guaranteed woman's right to the procedure. china has begun military exercises around taiwan just 2 hours after us house began, nancy pelosi ended her controversial visit to the island. beijing had wound us of serious consequences. if the trip went to his russian foreign minister, sick, i left her off, has paid an official visit to me in march ahead of his trip to cambodia to join a meeting of southeast asian foreign ministers. moscow as a supporter of me in mass military government leverage held talks with the june to lead us to discuss security and economic issues. and sort of theory to reserve from so if you're brown minister, your government to normalize on the delay the situation young. we know that you're planning next year to have

a parliamentary elections sound we. we shall success in promoting your country in making your country stronger and more efficient. the crisis and me and my intentions in the taiwan strait among the issues being discussed at that meeting of r c on foreign ministers. mean, most foreign minister has not been invited or foreign slurry, joins us live from no pin now of florence the so much happening in the region. what the focus at these meetings that's right now as it has said many challenges with forms. but as cambodian foreign minister cricket, it's never before been confronted with so many perils at the same time, both within the region and also the world that launch now aren't in foreign ministers. just very recently issued a statement to say that they are very concerned about what's happening in quote, an area adjacent to the audience region that referring to the high one straight.

and the very concerned about the volatility that what the most concerned about is that there is a serious risk of miscalculation that there is a risk of conflict and all parties involved to exercise restraint. and they've said they're ready to facilitate dialogue, to ensure that there is peace in the region. now, as you mentioned, there's also another crisis in the region which has content on 10 members. and that's the situation in non law, which is now again, on the military rule. and since the coo last yet military authorities have killed more than 2000 people according to civil rights organization. more than 11000 people have been detained and sentenced is still behind boss. so that is a situation that really concerns are the members for the thing is they can't agree on how to move forward and in that piece plan hasn't made any progress. made very, very little progress. and complicating matters is the level of support that young man is getting from the authoritarian countries, russia and china. we've seen how russia made

a very pointed show of support to me on my it's foreign minister said a lover of paying a visit to nathan, having a holding a meeting with military june that eda min on lang. so those are the matches that are confronting audience at the meeting. and then of course the is the, the long standing territorial dispute in the south china sea as well. that's right now that's always been a very sensitive topic and it's divided ozzie and members in the park. now those who don't have overlapping territorial claims in the south china sea with china, it happened accused in the past of fighting with china, cambodia, which is the chair of the regional block this year. now the last time it held that position, 10 years ago, member countries were not able to agree on a final joint communicate. and that was the 1st time in the blog history, but that has ever happened. so core members, i came to not see that happen again. but, you know, china has a history with critics of acute china preferring individual negotiations with

member countries. so it can, it's fond. it's interesting. and even though our country want to be able to come up with a united fund when it comes to the code of conduct in the south china sea, that is proving to be very difficult to achieve. and i think countries looking at china's response to us how we can close the visit to taiwan with live fire drill, west band imports from ty, needs produces when band export the natural sand to tie one. i think it makes the issue of settling territorial disputes with china take on a new agency, florence louis from non pain. thank you so much for your time. the her grain ship to leave a ukrainian ports and rushes invasion has passed the both for a strike and sit off on the deal broken by turkey and the you. when that aims to allow the export of millions of tons of grain and ease the global food crisis, the mays shipments lift the port of odessa on monday. before talking at the mouth
