heavy rain for a time making its way towards cyprus last monday's pitch had generally five and dry beirut not doing too badly at around twenty two degrees will see some of the temperatures of baghdad and also for kuwait city further eastward fours and fives the full couple over the next day also lossy dry look behind me there they go he comes out whether it will be absolutely tipping down northern parts of syria see some heavy rain pushing up across the turkish mountains we're looking at snow eighteen degrees there for beirut there a bit some places a cloud also sliding down across northern parts of saudi arabia as we go on through the next monday not see bad twenty five celsius here in doha quite a keen wind fashion model wind setting in as we go on into choose day we will see ten which is hanging on to a similar value but there is that in place and that thick cloud just pushing a little further south with sun up and it could see one of two spots of rain as well a few spots of rain too into the eastern parts of south africa some wet weather on the cots a bit for much of the region it is

joined by sami neda the director of the levant institute for strategic affairs he joins us now from beirut good to have you with us so. throws up a number of questions namely who are these eisel fighters where are they from man who has jurisdiction over where they should go. i mean these are the remaining fighters of. of there are now located and to the north of eastern syria and is small village or small city called it's near did is at the front here of between iraq and syria and so there is no today with. the collapse of the syrian state we can say that it is no should addiction that can have a direct autoroute the on these groups however now the big question is in the case of an american was pro would who would fill this vacuum left by that was that all of us troops will be in the same will we be in the same situation in two thousand and eight with a unilateral you as was the role would have created a void that has been laid to by iran at first and then in two thousand and fourteen with the fall of. this is the big question i mean last week chancellor merkel to criticize this us was tha

ads of an economic collapse right sammy naida thank you very much in days it'll be just live from beirut. all right time for the weather now evidence here with news it's a rather rare snow in seattle yeah that's right seattle's one of those places martin that doesn't actually see that much snow is like manchester is always raining but you don't really see a whole lot of snow and that's because it's part just on the edge of the pacific ocean so we get our mild air that mild moist air drifting in from the pacific look at lovely swirl of play out there that's just been rolling in across that western side of washington state as we went through the last twenty four hours or so and this is actually a street when on the mounds is not in the cascades that is a street where we saw around sixteen centimeters of snow could easily see another ten centimeters or as we go on through the next twenty four to thirty six hours but some pieces of snow there for seattle for the remainder of sunday temperature one celsius average is about ten degrees so that is well below the average you see the snow comes d

to damascus or have to take ship from beirut or not of course and of course that area is under constant surveillance by the americans and others they would immediately notice this the idea of his ball which is it's not a government it's not a state would be sending large numbers of trained fighters to venezuela is preposterous i mean if they knew it they would have been hit this ravine headline you. if you had any evidence of this and the idea i think i'll run a run it's very cautious yes it's intervened in syria but that's because the two governments have always been very close to our allies and because of really a connection with iran has got a history of intervention outside borders particular despite how it's painted and again any flight from tehran which arrived in caracas soldiers or deliver a nuclear missile is going without the americans if they have the evidence should be pumping that out right and center so i take all this for the men spencer pinch of salt. and if we look at what else from paris said that he said that the us wants crackers to cease its reliance on cuba and rus

is a senior fellow also at the harvard kennedy school and he's joining us from beirut and rami just want to run by you swedes by the iranian foreign minister mohammad zarif who says that. this these allegations about the transfer of nuclear technology to saudi arabia. is hypocritical of washington he says first to dismember journalists now illicit sale of nuclear technology to saudi arabia fully exposes u.s. hypocrisy and i'm guessing that many people will be agreeing with the iranian foreign minister. yes many people in the region and around the world would because there's a lot of people who are very critical of trump and afraid of what he's doing both to the u.s. and to the world the really important point here is that you now have a congressional committee led by democrats in the house of representatives with a majority is democratic officially investigating inner workings of the white house dealing with members of trump's family his son and location are his top advisers linked to business dealings with saudi arabia and in some cases with the emirates in a context of concern in

but it's not going to be in immediately so we've got a day of fine looking where the low twenty's beirut little bit less in aleppo same sort of story across iraq i was surprised to see a shower but if you watch the development between monday and tuesday that storm winds up it comes from libya comes across to cyprus southern turkey northern syria as you can see snow for turkey itself and it looks stormy so i think on shore winds will be quite nasty from lebanon lebanese coast northwards which induces is suddenly ahead of it that usually means it's going to be dusty as long as the ground is drawn is fairly dry now that before we get to that we've got a northerly and the southerly is here as in western society but as you know that wind just slowly east was attempts to rise in riyadh to twenty nine degrees but i think we're looking at dry weather if it little dusty. we still potential big showers an eastern side of south africa there's the last one went straight into sudden mozambique but you know stick section that proves the rule for most places far cape town is twenty three will take a bi

beirut the taliban says president donald trump appears to be serious about pulling u.s. troops out of afghanistan a spokesman for the armed groups such a withdrawal as the first goal towards ending the seventeen year conflicts he added that they'd like to establish an islamic system made up of all afghans earlier this week the u.s. envoy said there had been agreements in principle towards a framework peace deal but it was drawn up without input from the afghan government which the taliban regards as illegitimate so let's remind ourselves of the taliban's history in afghanistan it emerged after the soviet afghan war before its fighters took over the country in one thousand nine hundred six imposing their own harsh interpretation of islamic law the two thousand and one us invasion of afghanistan toppled the taliban but it launched a years long campaign against foreign troops and the u.s. backed government the taliban has since regained strength some analysts believe it controls as much as forty percent of the country and the u.s. mint. believes it has about forty thousand

you know what has more from beirut. the political deadlock is now over nine months of political wrangling lebanon has a now a government it's never an easy process in this country rival politicians agreeing on the distribution of seats simply because of lebanon sectarian based power sharing agreement so rival politicians agreeing on a new cabinet why now well many observers believe france played a role france a former colonial power a country which has influence here in lebanon their work consultations in recent weeks in the french capital a number of lebanese politicians are visiting paris and paris of course having some sort of leverage over iran we have to remember the united the european union is agreeing to business dealings with iran skirting u.s. sanctions so transfers have leverage over you run and iran of course its allies hezbollah they hold political power in this country all sides made concessions but it was a demand by hezbollah that it's suddenly ally hezbollah being of course the shia party it's certainly

rain given the temperature regime once they've gone way up into the low twenty's tara not so but beirut certainly the stormy weather in the mediterranean is quite a long way from that event so for the time being we can ignore it start of this with the wind direction is critical here at the moment we're picking up for an increasing normally rain down the gulf so monday still twenty five degrees but a bit more breezy and then some of this southerly is warming up in mecca and medina up into the low. it is in both cases maybe dusty but i think dry somewhat cloudy quite often. now after heavy downpours recently in madagascar tanzania and for example zimbabwe it's a dry looking picture couldn't rule out a few showers in some mozambique or the eastern side of south africa they are certainly there and that's very weakness but otherwise zimbabwe is zambian even tanzania sees far fewer showers than of late. or. even. for to what were. you know.
