and claude joseph, who was the prime minister, who was essentially fired by the president. i was due to be placed on wednesday morning now ariel. henry says that it is an extraordinary situation, but he is in the prime minister's office at the moment. what is interesting is that when tony blink and who is the us, secretary of state made his call to haiti to express his condolences for the death of the president. but also to our com and suggest the elections due to go ahead lead to the she should go ahead the person he called with claude joseph. so it seems that the international community for the moment regard claude joseph as the acting prime minister. but of course, everyone is waiting to see how things develop over the next 24 hours the united states, the united nations. and of course mainly the people in alan. thank you. alan fisher live in washington. still ahead on al jazeera, ethiopia grand. brandon found that goes out for discussion at the un security council, the project test rating ties with food on a chip, a moment of finance to mark the end of the search was sur
