Would have to go ahead and here pretty. Now William Lawrence is a professor at George Washington universitys elliots go to International Affairs and he says the Current Situation is a win win. Ive seen 10 different versions among the analysts of the deal that could be in the making whats being discussed the Turkish Foreign ministers minister was just in moscow having a pretty discussions there was a talk of a live for a trip to tripoli deal where the russians would be given more of a way forward. In exchange for stepping back in tripoli and increasingly the syrian and libyan theatres are overlapping in the turkish russia negotiation and putins also been very astute here because with an increase of turkish presence that also was part of his desire to decrease nato influence in libya so its turks instead of nato and then hes got that other arms deal with turkey which cheaply and hes trying to cut in neighbors influence and be his relationship with turkey as well so all of those issues are interconnected no its kind of a win win for turkey on the one hand i dont think anyone really wants to send in troops and hes been signaling in various ways including to the tunisian surface a cease fire coming that hed prefer not to bring in troops and on the other hand if he does send in troops though those can be used for the defense of tripoli from the 3000 sudanese mercenaries and 1000 russian mercenaries and and other increasing troop levels and also since a psychological message both militarily and also regarding the internal an extra lion says in libya regarding the libyan conflict and it also helps get us to the berlin peace conference in january because if tripoli falls that completely changes the turner of that discussion then if tripoli is holding up and there is an actual cease fire and peace deal that can be negotiated now iraqs president says hed rather resign that the name aside any adani as the new Prime Minister who has already been rejected by protesters barham salih has been trying to find a replacement for who stepped down last month dosage of our reports from baghdad.

Protesters have strongly rejected i thought on his nomination and thats the reason president saleh gave for not approving the choice it now means since mattys resignation no party has proposed a candidate who has been acceptable to all sides the protests which began here in early october have been about demanding political change in iraq a new electoral law was finally passed on tuesday which seemed to please their archys and now it is the latest move by president saleh to reject i done his candidacy is likely to strengthen the demonstrators position.

A reminder of our top stories this hour the Reuters News Agency is reporting that libyas internationally recognized government has made a formal request for Turkish Military support its aimed at fighting forces loyal to ward khalifa after. Iraqs president has offered to resign after refusing to back the man nominated to become the next Prime Minister but on sunday says downeys nomination would satisfy protesters demands for an independent. And israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared victory in the likud partys leadership contest he will lead the party into an unprecedented election in just 12 months. Japan has announced its own operation to protect its ships and gulf war says to choosing not to join a similar u. S. Led Mission Japanese Prime Minister shinzo abbay briefed iranian president Hassan Rouhani on that operation last week tokyo will send a warship and patrol planes next month well lets get into this with jeff kingston whos a professor of Asian Studies at Temple University and hes joining us now on skype from terry care so jeff the nature of this mission as i understand it is meant to be about intelligence gathering and even though its meant to protect japanese ships its not actually going to be active in the very critical strait of hormuz it all seems a little counterintuitive talk us through political calculations here. Well you know hes in an awkward position hes trying to thread the needle hes got basically 3 audiences hes addressing one is the truck administration in the past to join the coalition the other is president rouhani in iran is keen to maintain good relations and the 3rd audience is domestic keen to revise the constitution and remove the pacifist article so. Calling this intelligence gathering not joining the u. S. Coalition is meant to placate trump you know to avoid the accusation of being a free rider but not undermine iranian relations and not cause domestic backlash because theres deep bunnies of the Security Alliance with the United States and only about 3537 percent of people support the dispatch of the vessels to the mideast just like 90 percent of the oil comes from. There is in your opinion operation you know until next month and that said by france if japan wanted to opt out of the us mission why not just join the europeans. Well i think that the concern is and 2015 are big pass legislation collective so the feds and thats very controversial about 80 percent of the people oppose it theyre worried that somehow somewhere japan is going to be dragged into a conflict that doesnt directly affect their interests so rather than invoking this controversial legislation to allow japan to join a coalition of forces i think theyll go it alone option is safer and will carry less risk of a domestic backlash but hopefully be anough to keep the United States onside and not undermine iranian relinquishes so its a bit of an awkward between a rock and a hard place position for Prime Minister abbott but this also seems to set the stage for potentially increasing tensions and what happens if for instance iran and the u. S. Led forces clash and one of the japanese units is nearby i mean does that then create a problem for japan to try to stay neutral i think they have their fingers crossed that Something Like that wont happen clearly if japan and skin in the game last june when are they was just being tehran the recent attack on a japanese owned vessel so there is clearly japanese interests involved but they dont want to clash they want to avoid that because clearly the priority for our day in this next diet session in 2020 is to get his fellow politicians to endorse a revision of the past is called constitution and if there is a clash i think that basically that will and bays agenda and basically the holy grail that he came into politics to accomplish so looking at tensions in the region then in the gulf what is japans take on u. S. Sanctions on iran i understand when our band rouhani met they had discussions around breaking their sanctions they havent released any details. Well. You know trying to tiptoe you know between the u. S. And iran and whats position as as a go between. Clearly it takes its cues from washington d. C. On a Security Matters but it also wants to you know show a kind face towards iran so i think that basically abbay would prefer the United States not to impose harsh sanctions and try to work diplomatically to resolve the issues and i clearly you know tokyo they want a revival the Nuclear Agreement that trump has pulled the plug on but the he only goes so far and he doesnt want to further alienate trump because trump is making noises about getting japan to pay a lot more for the safety of u. S. Troops and for bases in japan so its a delicate situation a very delicate balance indeed jeff kingston there professor of studies at Temple University and take care thank you for joining us on aljazeera. Thank you. In breaking news a passenger plane with 100 people on board has crashed in kazakstan the royces News Agency Says it happened now almaty airport and the countrys south well bring you more on this as soon as we have those how the United Nations has condemned an artillery attack on a market in northern yemen near the border with saudi arabia 17 people were killed including 12 ethiopian migrants who the rebels say the market inside a province has been targeted 3 times and just a month while the war in yemen has created what the u.

After nearly 5 years of war the saudi u. A. E. Coalition has not defeated the heat these and aid agencies say the human cost of the fighting has been enormous across all of the mentality and situation is only getting worse even the violence is decreasing well you know writing in crisis is worsening and not of the un need millions of heavy price. Going. Since the conflict began analysts estimate more than 91000 yemenis have been killed another 3000000 displaced by the fighting and the country is on the brink of famine with 24000000 people dependent on International Food aid only half of yemens Health Care Facilities are functioning and its struggling with the worst cholera outbreak in modern history a un brokered cease fire agreed to last december was never fully implemented in the port of her data so what are the chances of peace next year for sites know the power of each other or site dont want to be harmed by the other and both sides believe that its but theyre both interest so. If no International Pressure on both sides they place this walker and in a few weeks but as long as there are a lot of pressure aguero does that especially are several yet to see that has for reasons i guess work up a lot more than we expected the plan is to get the 2 warring sides together for a new talks in the hope 2020 will be the year they finally accept what the u. N. Has been saying for years that there. Is no military solution to the conflict in yemen. Victoria gate and the aljazeera.

Disagrees that youre lost on the circle route you know were in the 21st century of course our culture traditions and identity are important but we cant remain frozen in time. Indeed these days this traditional palm leaf house is used mostly for meetings guests and religious ceremonies. Outside of the reserves the president is also giving the green light to expand brazils agricultural frontier this trip sample is cotton in fact almost everything thats profitable grows here brazil is already the world leader in soybean sugarcane in beef and among the top 3 corn producers but in order for the average business to continue to expand it needs more and more land which explains why the brazilian amazon is so coveted. Paradoxically brazils king of soybean is concerned about a global backlash. The president has taken a mistaken approach but i think our mistakes in the agribusiness sectors concerns of a possible boycott against our products may make them realize well while the amazon is sovereign brazilian territory its also needed by the entire world. That the reserve for london chooses many foreign governments of expecting indigenous tribes to remain naked eating ants in the forest he explains they using only 1. 7 percent of their territory to grow soya another grains for export he insists they dont need more at least for now to see and human aljazeera cumple know that better cease brazil.
