each supports one of 2 governments who claimed to be in charge of libya. ha, ha, ha, ha ha, for the look at this, this is the kind of weapons they were using with. this is a residential neighborhood. how can they use weapons like this in a residential area? they were fighting for control of this government building, which belongs to the ministry of interior. tripoli hasn't seen this level of violence and say nationwide. ceasefire was signed in 2020 people here are extremely angry and are calling 4 armed groups to leave the capital mohammed, our bus us as the violence lasted for several hours, his home was damaged and his family store burned down. he says chipley based prime minister abdul hamid to paver should do more to stop the violence less ask on assessment. we were living in fear. my 3 daughters were shivering and my mother fainted. oh, we didn't know what to do. i planned the politicians. why don't care of us? will they care about staying in power? where is the baby give? he went and visited the fighters who had weapon, but he didn't come here to see our son of classical chalet, al

has been the ukraine war. in a way, the u.s. has managed to overcome a lot of the doubts that arose in afghanistan. in ukraine, the u.s., with a lot of help from allies, have actually been able to build a strong foreign military, the ukrainian armed forces is a lot better than we expected. nato didn't collapse, there was some thoughts that if nato failed in afghanistan, it is going to fail everywhere. nato has held firm in the case of ukraine, so i think that the u.s. successes in ukraine have negated many of the peer perceptions and negatives in afghanistan. at least in the case of china, when the leader was pondering whether to attack taiwan or not, they will probably look at how the u.s. is responding to the attack on ukraine rather than how the u.s. responded in afghanistan. host: and another thing, a year ago, all the equipment that got left behind, concerns about handing that over to the taliban. how much of the equipment has the taliban been able to put to use? what is their arsenal right now, as it wer

it shows that iraq has been, not only that iraq has really built bridges to its a revenue reverse -- a rabbit near berger's -- ar ab neigbors, but it has been accepted by the region. this is a big shift from 10 years ago. if you look at the post 2003. -- period, the iraqis were always reaching out to their neighbors. but just because of the relationship with iran, i do not mean that leaders do not also want strong positive relationships with their arab neighbors. it has been my argument that often times was the arab states, particularly saudi arabia, that were where we -- wary towards iraq and ultimately took steps to isolate iraq which only enhance its dependence on iran. saudi arabia has now embraced the new iraq. this summit demonstrates to the extent that iraq has been integrated to the region. i think it also shows iraq's natural role in the region will be as a mediator. and recognizing that iraq's natural place in the region is to bring all of the players together. you have seen over the past year and a half, that whoever replaces al-kadhimi as prime minister, he certainly has

so still has a chance. let's wait and see what's going to happen, but max tomorrow, i'm afraid that campaign will be very dirty and maybe even violent. you can actually compare cause a presidential records this little have a better record, is president. all. is it unreasonable to compare because of the coming in the middle of both scenarios? term government much more help to international environments from the point of view. so brazil, 5 percent doing trace 7.5 percent in 2010 the the, the major recession. so the people who have very good remembrances for government unemployment rate was about 6 percent. the relation between the public dead and the bid was 53 percent the best in him became. so from the point of view, lula had a very good government that was delivered to even struggle to deliver the same sense of great and well being this time round with me because it's a different economic environment. yeah. in the, in the early 2000 china was growing more than 10 percent here and it became the most importa

now a criminal regime which has illegal nuclear activities and doesn't give access to the i has stage psychological operations against iran over the past few days. we don't expect the i e, a continuous demands and it's not acceptable for it to do so. though such a bar is live for us in her own. so here we are. israel says to deal shouldn't go head as it is while iran says israelis waging psychological warfare. yes, and this has been ongoing for many, many years. it's not anything new. and as iran gets closer to as reaching some kind of an agreement with the united states and european powers, israel opposition becomes louder and louder. we've just had some breaking news coming in over the past few minutes. we understand, according to the foreign ministry spokesperson here in sara, that the united states government has officially responded to the suggestions that the radiant pad around that final text put forth by the p 5 plus one. a few days ago, the united states government has pass on what they believe to be their answers to the u coordinator. that is joseph brown. and de joseph ro h

so has egypt, which has secured more than $2000000000.00 and a deal with the u. s. this year, despite arguments that the white house could still intervene and could put a stop to around $300000000.00 and direct military support. similar to the way it said, it would hold $130000000.00 and funding at the start of the year due to human rights concerns. well, president by then has yet to take any action the consistent pattern of human rights abuses committed by the egyptian government. and evidence that u. s. military equipment has been used and such violations should require the administration to suspend all arms transfers to egypt in order to comply with longstanding us law. the same goes for u. s. army deals with the philippines where concerns have mounted over citizens rights to press freedom and to criticize their government along with the government's fertile war on drugs where thousands of deaths have been reported. all secretary of state blanket appeared to talk to when visiting the philippines last week, biden did the same during a trip to the middle east. last

we have to walk here and i think her, our party leadership has made that abundantly clear that he has apps or 0 support from the party on any level. or on the other hand, as i said, it's a judicial process expelling someone from a party. and therefore, i think it's much more important that the speediest stands together on the political side and makes it clear that his statements are not at all a statement of the speedy. and that he is totally isolated within the party. so will there be a legal battle now to expel him? and he will have, i mean, there, there is now a 2 week grace period were, are both parties can actually earn, intervene and ask for a revision. and we'll have to see what's going to happen. let's look at it and from a different point of view. given that mr. shudders very close ties to the russian president. did your party ever consider using mister schroeder as a potential mediator in the russia ukraine crisis? and to be honest, in the 1st days of the war against ukraine, i think that was some kind of hope. some people had and i have to be honest myself . i also had that
