that the transitional council if it's behind it then it will to present a different set of challenges because i'm lists that number them that they need that believe that ship of the. 7 transitional council is behind this then i think the challenges will be more amenable to deal with. would be easier for the government to have my one you heard about him there talk about the security situation and adnan i want to focus on that for a moment because presumably the airport where the attack happened in i did yesterday presumably that would have been one of the more secured areas or one of the most secured areas in all of yemen if an attack like this can happen in a place that is supposedly as heavily fortified as the airport should have been what does that saying about the security situation in the country overall. well it shows actually how did you get the position of the yemeni government is and that this won't yemen has just like all other conflicts and that he's and you have so many here this study complicated because you have so many bodies a lot and walled in despite that i mean look

laws also provide for information structure that calls upon the president to create a council setting transition policy for departments and agencies. second, tacit understandings between presidents and presidents elect, as important as the transition laws have been in creating a supportive framework for presidential transitions, equally important is the support presidents have offered to their successor. until this year incumbent presidents who lost their campaigns for reelection have quickly conceded their loss, and secondly, called upon their staffs to ensure a smooth growth for the president and his new team. george h.w. bush, our most recent one-term president who ran for reelection, instructed his white house senior staff the day following his 1992 defeat to quote, be helpful and leave no ticking time bombs for the incoming clinton administration, according to his white house economic and domestic policy advisor roger porter. the voters have spoken, bush said, and our job is not to make the task of the incoming administration more difficult than it would otherwise be. third, planning their

there just last week the cat just before the elections rather the council did authorize 2 military units and 2 helicopters to transitionfrom the mission in south sudan to the central african republic and they did indicate that they would be willing to provide more support we heard a formal request for that from the united nations mission there today another concern is the government's ability to fight rebels they've been working government forces have been working hand in hand with un forces there but the government forces. say that they are not prepared there's an arms embargo on the country they've been pushing to have that arms embargo lifted that's been a contentious issue in the council russia and china have shown some support for that other council members have worried that this should be an incentive to greater democratic reforms in the country that the country isn't quite ready for that yet we don't expect any concrete action on that today but definitely could see some reinforcements being sent to the central african republic in the near future christine thanks very much indeed those kristen so let me talking t

show me show the council president expressed those feelings on twitter saying that you ask the last congress temple of democracy that it's important to assure ensure a peaceful transition that this was what was a life on the line the commission president also stressed in her statement we heard from many leaders like for example from the czech prime minister who said that what happened in the past was an arc and unacceptable attack on democracy and even leaders in europe who used to work very closely with donald trump to govern who were considered his closest allies boris johnson the. prime minister they also condemned the bans in washington d.c. johnson described them as a disgrace what comes after 4 years of what can be described as a pretty contentious relationship at times between the european union and the u.s. so how great are concerns right now about the reliability of the u.s. as a partner going forward. i think that it was very telling that it was not only the french president but also. leaders who expressed they believe who said that they have faith in the democracy and that of course shows you that they still consider the u.s. as a very important partner but
