Talk about this he was not part of that agreement and this is what he had to say. That there was a request regarding the release of taliban prisoners but it can only be part of negotiations and it cannot be preconditions for starting be in traffic and negotiations also there must be no issue of good will because the Afghan Nation must be assured that whoever is going to be released will not stand against it one day and he says and maybe a good idea would be to put this to the Afghan People in a referendum and have what.

I think most israelis just want this ongoing grinding electoral might to finally come to some kind of conclusion it has been interesting in the last week or so weve seen Benjamin Netanyahu for the 1st time in a while his likud party taking even a narrow lead in the opinion polls but still those polls not showing enough of a decisive margin either way to get to the magic number in the Israeli Parliament the knesset 61 required seats required to form a Coalition Government im joined by a bit of client list. Michel barak mitchell where are we in the political horse race at the moment any prospect that netanyahu might get over the line this time well theres a saying in hebrew weve been in this movie before and weve actually been in this movie twice before in a year so you know its not clear what is interesting about this election as opposed to last 2 is right before the election netanyahu looks like hes leading which may not be the best place for him he likes to scare people that hes going to lose hes losing the election if they dont get out and vote now they have a different tactic because they seem to be leading in the polls that they have some momentum going and now theyre fighting for people that either will stay home because they think his victory is assured or theyll vote for one of the smaller parties in the block because they believe hes hes going to be the Prime Minister he has the best chance anyway. A new center right leader is so late as latin American Country to turn its back on leftists will orders are hoping a new conservative government led by luis are better less how poor were both economy cut crime and realign its Foreign Policy towards the us there is a report in the capital montevideo. The political tide is turning in europe y. And me a little sun once the new government to tackle some of the countrys Biggest Challenges you know. The economy is a problem they tell you you can live on the minimum wage but its not enough i receive a pension but im still working because you have to pay for electricity water and food and its difficult to pay for it all we need to have at least 2. 00 jobs to make enough and its tough. Said to lead a center right Coalition Ending the 15 year reign of the leftist Broad Front Party that implemented reforms that turned general why into one of the most progressive nations in the region. While in office the broad front legalized marijuana abortion and same sex marriage social policies helped reduce poverty and increased access to health care. But i mean rising unemployment and crime those reforms were not enough to win novembers elections. Says he has been robbed at least 4 times in the past 2 years he hopes the new government will improve the situation but ive already said. I am not sure why because poverty has dropped but we have the robbed over and over again i hope will take measures that will allow the police to take actions everyone in this neighborhood has been robbed at least once. It promises to mediately fast and all new will spill that will try to address social and economic issues. Have always taking office in our country that in spite of economic difficulties and ricing crime is largely perceived a stable in a region that in the past year has been filled with social unrest and economic troubles his biggest challenge will be to carry out reforms without putting this countrys stability id risk.

In the past 15 years has managed to broaden peoples rights now many here are hoping for further reforms to improve their lives. And to see them on the radio in the United States former u. S. Vice President Joe Biden has won the South Carolina democratic primary securing almost half the vote with Bernie Sanders coming 2nd with 20 percent. Lets get back our. Rights here before. Biden had the support of a majority of hussein south American Voters as his 1st win in the democratic race to run against donald trump in november s president ial election down to say more than 1300 delegates are up for grabs on super tuesday 30 percent of those are in the state of california a big win they could put a candidate in prime position to win the democratic partys nomination rob reynolds reports from the sunshine this. University students on the march for Bernie Sanders in los angeles showing the enthusiasm many young people have for the vermont senator as a lot known for his block who is hispanic who is my hero i believe hes the only candidate that truly looks out for here in the biggest most diverse state in the u. S. Let tito voters are a crucial voting bloc i feel like hes only tenet who has other countries in mind nearly 30 percent of the states eligible voters are latino and the vast majority vote democratic absolutely letting us have the power to shape the outcomes but none of the candidates can afford to take let tino votes for granted direct contact is key and they need to park and door knock and outreach to the latino electorate thats important for a place like california its a huge robust state but you still have to be here polls show sanders leading by a wide margin in california followed by Elizabeth Warren with joe biden a distant 3rd the senators campaign would like to repeat its winning formula from nevada last month it put together a coalition of liberal whites young people and latinos polls show 3 quarters of registered lets you know voters are ready and eager to vote in the primary with its multiple large urban areas california isnt it. Spends of plays to campaign multiple high dollar media markets right in its a big state right so youve got to think about barry got san diego and l. A. Are separate markets so youre talking about a lot of media spending billionaire Michael Bloomberg saturated california airwaves with ads but he has little to show for it hes only polling in the single digits. Early voting has been underway in parts of california for more than a week a big win in the west would not give sanders all of the 1991 delegates the need to win on the 1st ballot at the Democratic Convention in july but it could provide him with a lead that the other candidates might find almost impossible to surmount robert oulds aljazeera los angeles.
