a moment. i don't even want you to see a peaceful demonstration. yeah. it's not the 1st time said supported have been way into the presidential compound. they've been demonstrating 4 months. this is a political rivalry between 2 different parties, sides of the spectrum, one side, and trying to maintain the consensus agreement of the consultation, of democracy and pills. 2003 iraq and the other side, which is the federal movement trying to revamp the political system in iraq. his policy one most parliament is heaton elections but feel, perform and majority coalition. so that may have told the supporters to 10 down but with such incense rivalry at the heart over your rocky politics, there are views that it's only

a matter of time before case on violence is repeated. when would abdulla had algebra baba and later sunrise in iraq is fueled by a power struggle between she i to groups smoked out, are sadder opposes for an interference in local politics. his supporters mainly come from poor communities that have been long, a shut out of the political system. they're competing against a collection of shy goose known as the coordination framework that are aligned with iran. both sides have military wings with thousands of members. some of them have been involved in the street fighting in baghdad. analysts say one person who could help and the crisis is the clerical, yas is fani. his words hold enormous sway among iraqi people, and their leaders, but so far has kept silence. while i speak to sar, quite sham. so dean who's a former iraqi m p and member of the future party leadership council, which is an opposition party base in back that he's joining us from washington

d. c. thank you very much. i mr. chance of in for being with us. so we have a d escalation, all retentions right now in bank done, but for how long do you think and our conditions at all favourable for political leaders right now to resume talks? well, as long as there are there been fundamental problems in iraq, and as long as we have the failure of their government to decrease, at least not through the corruption and provide a better life for the iraqi people across the country. we will have that grievance is among the people, whether suntrust or that the sri need october. protesters, supporters though will do so that remain on the iraqi st. that out until it is addressed by the iraqi political elite and that by the government. and so repeatedly a few people came on street and demonstrated in across all the country,

like from chris and region to back that pastor. but the government has failed to meet the minimum standards of the standard of living, even not in the in compared to western country, but compared to the regional. and iraq is a willingness right now from iraqi political leaders to address these issues that you talk about. we seen this move vinyl, tad asada saying that is quitting politics. many say that this is a strategic move right now. so where does this leave us in less occur? well, it's, it said the, at the willingness, among the 2nd generation of the leadership of there are both called parties, those who were not the product of their exiles or position. i think there is an realization, but they are not the majority among even the framework under centers and also other political parties that to decide so that there are call of wider fall in iraq, for constitutional reforms, which has been overdue for many years. and also there are

a call for getting back to up on track economically, which is possible because it currently the oil prices really skyrocketing and iraq is one of the export as big as exporters of oil. and then the only problem is preventing the iraqis to have a prospect. life is the political elite and the ruling in these. and it's not only one side, it's not only the framework or the citrus centralist have been there than one of the main pillars of the government formation. since 2003, despite of the tactical withdrawal from political process. but they have been like, occupying over $300.00 position and a senior political position there in the government, in the local government, and also the federal government. so they are the big part of the, of the current crisis in iraq. the only issue is that they are fighting over the power. he's not. mr. said that it doesn't seem to have been in the chance or given the chance to the other side to form the government with him like iraqi

consensus government formation, which is a, been there the philosophy for, for with a government id 75 where you know, but he failed and precisely on that idea and census, is it not difficult to find consensus while at the same time also having these different a confessional hoops in gauge politically? well it's, i think there need to be a defeat to one side politically overtime. the consensus is, is unlikely it's not only among the framework are separate as the buquet and k t p. the code is parties. the sunni part is, is becoming harder and harder to make the compromised as their their, the older generation are getting, becoming less relevant to the political process. so the kind political system then needs to be changed. you would agree of course, a need to be a radical change, started from the constitution, and then have

a better governors. at least the basic services need to be provided, which financially iraq was able to provide it. if we just fight corruption in a way that you have created more opportunities for young the rockies across the country. thank you very much for talking to us and sharing of use. soccer church unsold a member of the future leadership council and opposition party in iraq. joining us from washington. we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. in other words, new z u. s. navy says it's foiled an attempt by iranian forces to capture an unmanned vessel. it's released these images said to show the reigning ship towing the small american vessel before it was let go. the u. s. says the sale to an explorer was being operated by its 5th fleet in the gulf. a sale drone is capable of carrying out data collection missions like ocean mapping for up to a year. the un secretary general says he will visit pakistan soon, antonio, but harris is appealing $460000000.00 in aid to help more than $33000000.00 people

delegation is already here in key, it's being led by the director of the a file off the who earlier today met with president lead me to fill in the sky. there's been a lot of. 1 concerns about how they're going to be traveling all the way to somebody to it's a long drive. it's about an 8 hour drive. and there is, there's been some accusations from the ukrainian government saying that shelling was ongoing around the area where the a team should be able to make it all the way to what do you fit in that meeting with president lensky? he assured them that he was going to try to guarantee all the safety possible during that drive. he also said that he was looking forward, that to be a team would be able to convince russia to withdraw from the area to their militarize, the area in order to guarantee the safety of everyone. you know, there's been lots of concern about what's happening in that plan. the russian ministry of defense has been accusing ukrainian forces of shelling the area. some

of those shells have come very, very close to where the nuclear fuel is located and even the radioactive waste and the other side. ukrainian government is saying that it is the russians who are doing the attacks from the plant that was taking over by russia overall. the most important thing is to verify that level of damage that has happened to the plant to feed that the cranium technicians that are working there are doing ok that they're not working under duress, which is what the korean government is saying. because they're being closely monitored by russian soldiers and also that all the faith safety systems are in place. meanwhile, e u. defense ministers have been meeting in prague and the place to ramp up weapons production and both military training for the ukranian armed forces. many training initiative on the way, but the needs are enormous. and we need to ensure the coherence of this effort.

and i can say that all members stage agree clearly, and that an on launching does work necessary to define the barometers, florida, your military assistance missions for the green. i'm not saying that this was decided today. in any case, this is her informal, gone. she'll and you foreman, conceal doesn't take decisions. al jazeera is natasha. butler has more from paris. well, they use foreign policy chief or user per barrel, so that you defense ministers at the end of this to day meeting in prague have agreed to set up a training missions for ukrainian forces not. and what that means is that ukrainian troops would be trained outside of ukraine militarily in neighboring u countries. brill put this on the agenda of this meeting some time ago. he said

there was no reason why you couldn't train ukrainian forces in this way. it has a similar emissions and other parts of europe and asia and in africa. now we don't have any details about these missions when they would start. but what we do know is that a similar emissions have actually been taking place already in the u. k. outside of the you with thousands of ukrainian troops have been trained since june on rotation . it seems to work well according to both u. k and ukranian authority. so that's the sort of thing that the you want to set up as well. it has to be greenlighted, they're by e leaders, and we expect that it probably will at a summit that will be held in october south africa's presence to run a poll. so says he's not trying to avoid accountability for a scandal involving his farm. he's been answering questions on a range of issues from members of parliament. and of course, has been accused of covering up the theft of a large sum of foreign currency at the farm. in february 2020,

he refused to comment on the matter as fighting due process for me to mila is. inger harrisburg, with more on what the president said during questions. it may not necessarily be under any additional pressure compared to the last couple of months. i'm following the scandal being exposed to be know that parliamentarians have asked him similar questions before these questions have also been put to him on public platforms and via the media. and he's maintained that line is remain tight. lips saying that they should follow who he will followed you process, he's willing to cooperate and that he's willing to deal with the necessary authorities on this matter. so not much as change from a poor. so at least the stance that he's taken, despite these questions coming up again and this time in a parliamentary session, where parliamentarians asked a number of questions around the pertinent issues in south africa, including the scandal. now what has begun is a parliamentary process to potentially investigate what happened at the president's

private game farm. and if potentially they would be reasons to impeach the president. that would be up to parliamentarians, a committee or commission that they would form to further investigate this particular issue. aside from that, there are also authorities who are busy with an investigation as well. so it may be some time before we have any other answers from the president, he maintains that he had done nothing wrong and he has got receipts. he's got a documentation to account for the money that was at his residence. and so not much of his developed in terms of south africans learning anything more about what exactly happened. and many people i suppose waiting for that due process to be completed. kenya's supreme court has been holding a pre trial hearing at this month's election as this month's election comes under scrutiny. the court will outline the process for the legal challenge to the poll results. william router was declared the winner,

but 4 of the 7 commissioners refused to win dorsey outcome. his rivalry loud dingle says the commission system was hacked and he wants to be count, which he says will prove he one. markham web says in markham web is in nairobi with more what is the next chapter in the struggle for power here and can you started the supreme court and over the next 6 days, judges and lawyers representing the various parties. i will go through the evidence that has been submitted by lever, and his lawyers alleged that there was elect to fraud his main opponent, william root, that the president denies it. the allegations against the electoral commission 5 years ago, we were in a similar position rather than leading the opposition challenged the results. and in an unprecedented move, the supreme court overturned the election in order to re run it in 6 days from now that we're expected to get a judgement and we'll find out if the supreme court upholds the election result as

it was announced, dorsey called for a recount or re run of those polls if that happens, it has to take place within 60 days, according to the constitution or an update. now, on the situation in iraq where 2 days of protests have left at least 30 people dead . calm has now returned to baghdad. after supporters of influential she leader, mac todd, r, sada, left baghdad, greenville, and after you shoot a deadline for them to withdraw, let's bring in mahmoud. then why had correspondent in the rocky capital mahmoud we've been hearing in the last few minutes from the rocky president by him, sally, was he had to say about the price. will he begin? his speech was expressing good regrets over the bloodshed that happened over the past 2 days. the president was speaking in a sad mood,

but one of the most important points he highlighted is that he is calling obviously, on both the southern movement and the rival of the coordination of framework. that is the parliamentary block, backed by iran to to cling on to call and to come back to the negotiating table in order to find a solution. and to go forward with it too early elections and also form a government to probably a transitional government to run the coming transition stage. he also retreated that conducting early elections will probably get the people over the iraqi people out of this crisis that has been taken heavy call on the people. and also his hopeful that this solution will definitely in his words,

will put an end to the conflict. and political rivalry and provide as social and political stability in the president's words. one of the most important points he also under schooled in his speech is that he spoke about the previous election. and he admitted that it did not bring forward to the citizen to do the iraqi citizens. what they were hoping for. the president's speech was also written, rating the suffering of the iraqi kurdish people in the halogen incident. that was the, the in the crime. again, it's your money that was committed by the former regime of saddam hussein. he says that this should not be repeated again in iraq. the iraqi people should enjoy the

freedom and their rights. and he also highlighted that the current crisis between the federal government in iraq and that of the kurdish region is also unacceptable, and should be put to an end. ok. briefly ramos, the pensions over the last few days. at least 30 people killed. but the situation is common now tell us about what's been happening it back that it's very quite no, it's very quiet, especially after both label sit in have been dispatched. i mean, both the supporters of good luck to the southern the she had a leader have disbanded their, their tense. they ended their city and part of the parliament and the counter protest. and that was paid by the rivals outside of the green zone fences

also has been ended. it's very quiet that can view has been lifted. operations is back to normal in people's everyday life. so now it's probably paving the way to the new phase or episode of a political negotiations to hopefully to hopefully get the country to forming and you will government and holding elections as a way out of this political deadlock. thank you for that. mahmud dropped a lot of correspondent on the line near from bank that ah, no, again, i'm fully back the boat with our main stories on al jazeera, this hour in iraq, president by sally, says political tensions are.
