1:09 pm
couldn't wait to make his olympic charm offensive a priority was it right with you on your venture for the olympics paralympics in the twenty twenty four checks. both the twenty twenty four and twenty twenty eight games are up for grabs but the paris and los angeles is all about who gets what year and to macron it sames getting first place is a big deal bigger than usual for a head of state he's already made his pitch in switzerland an unusual move for a country's leader who normally only make an appearance at the host city vote which is not until september trump was absent while the poll paris man who spearheaded the french bid before macro to grab the reins was noticeably eclipsed by a president we hoped to stage and then there's the campaigning has been enthusiastic to say the least showcasing his sporting prowess and trying hard to
1:10 pm
show just was an all rounder he is a defender olympic values are values they're under threat and questioned by many people today so it's the best moment to defend. the olympics aim appears to be very much close to macro heart he made headlines after promising to make his leadership style to the tarion channeling the french king louis the great who was himself once portrayed as jupiter the head of the roman gods and of course as the father of all gods he requires a complete pantheon and it seems he's already found his self appointed hermes him and you claim these should be to. him miss. the messenger. as for his patron emanuel just like jupiter these determined to get what he wants in this case is very open and pick masterpiece. france's police unions though have warned they might not be able to provide the necessary level of

advisory in assisting and accompanying mission and says american troops call in airstrikes jaclyn vinegar takes a close look at the history of train and assist operations by its this train those are all the tags you always get when the pentagon tries to explain what american soldiers are doing in iraq in fear for years and assist in training aspect advise and assist in training mission. training equipping. the company and assist train equip bonds and assist in the company and our partners on the ground so let's break down those terms that often fall like a bunch of cliches actually mean very specific things train and equip that's how it usually begins but sort of like a boot camp when u.s. instructors provide local forces with arms and train them that approach was taken in theory a while back but didn't prove to be very effective can you tell us what the total number of trained fighters remains were dog and four or five let's recap it buys
1:13 pm

1:16 pm
and you know i'm a muse i'm from lebanon i'm twenty years old i met my husband in tripoli life was hard and so i got married early i had my first baby at fifteen and the second one a year later then my husband joined a salafi group the members of the group introduced him to the idea of jihad and explained to him that he needs to go to i so he persuaded me that there is nothing bad there and i trusted him as he's wife so it ranged all the documents and join him in syria. but then my mom told me i have to go back to tunisia as my husband was killed but women told me why don't you get married a second time her deja there's one disabled man and he's looking for a wife don't you want to get married and i read.
