looking for people are looking for just just those people who are looking for looking for a lot of things from the new government. and in fact, a whole thing. the said a conference as for in this time group, the real intention of the new government of the big a steps afford it covered at the because the country afford said this is not easy for us. i mean, having the country in a very good situation was not as easy as the many sit in work because the, this, the government's face a lot, the challenge and that's my, it hinder or slow down the road risk of this is that the new governments are taking a to the, to make the situation better is not literally united. in fact, the substitute in the book support is refusing to join the then you'll government

thing for you to have. they are attending the entity and the moving and which is gonna be as a by august cvn from different parties. old. so today we have another problem, for example, from the external statements that are coming from the south from is reading about and you know, through with some as south robinson. in fact, unfortunately, the new government is facing some problems from large internal ones like that. it's julia and even subjects turnville at a statement that's our reasoning, the of the, of having the source just piece in the country. i think i probably minister test on that has announced a significant increase to defense spending ahead of a trip to washington to meet us president donald trump. today i have announced the biggest sustained increase in defense spending since the end of the cold war. we
