Mans army is a question at last months or so of the years so that a poor u. N. Security Council Resolutions demand immediate unconditional israel.

Has told aljazeera that his country will do whatever it takes to defend the region. You know go on about well be defending every single ringback inch of their land and all their security and i mean you will need to get into all this threat so cool have been there usually in the parlance of the other much of the government and the end of the regime but the latest was in the United Nations general assembly. Where all of this into a practical implementation once again once again there will be a recount a morning as being the pool or the convention so other much general well before the next in this position on the ground is a minor thing thats been consistent in to think that they are going theyre going to call it a secure job and they have once again brought the people that we have to care about the security and thats where the people of were going to go to about what ive been on the fence of their region their security against aggression and theyre rushing to preplan not just part of the merger of the map but with the massacre or.

French president emanuel says lebanons leaders have betrayed their people by failing to form a government vowed to continue his initiative to save lebanon from collapse the Prime Minister designate must have a deep question on saturday after trying for almost a month to line up a nonpartisan cabinet that dealt a blow to the french named rallying sectarian need us to tackle the worst crisis since lebanons civil war superfood you off to do a sit in the usual was has happened over the last few hours and days was clarification on it leaving these Political Forces and the leaders clearly did not wish to respect the commitments made before france and the International Community they decided and im forced to make a cruel assessment a month later they decided to betray that commitment in the libertys Political Forces favored the partisan choices to the determines of the country. On fashion but i was monitoring the french president s speech in paris he says has given lebanese Political Class up to 6 weeks to try to come up with a road map. Well a very strong words from the french president emanuel macron who accused lebanons political leaders or betrayal he said they had betrayed their people by thing a link to form a government to push through urgently needed reforms in the country he said he singled out i should say hezbollah but he was certainly seriously critical of all the Political Classes he said that they had failed also not to use time in the right way he said they wasted time theyd wasted a month in which lebanon could be accessing International Aid now that International Aid had been raised in august in a Video Conference mini 300000000. 00 but the condition of receiving that aid was that lebanon would form a government but that had not happened it was very clear it is very clear that my core seems personally very upset he said in the beginning of the month of september saturn round the table with various political leaders lebannon who seemed to assure him that they would come together and try and form a government and push through reforms but they had failed to do that he said that they had only in the time that has passed looked after their own interests well there is any harder is in beirut it has politicians vera betting on regional changes. Lebanese politicians are aware that they are under pressure but lebanese politicians are really the betting on regional changes and it seems mccraw understands that he said that the lebanese Political Class is holding it on and the lebanese people hostage with oven on is hostage to regional and International Power struggles in particular the u. S. And iranian rivalry when mccrone says this is the last chance and then he gives 6 weeks what happens in 6 weeks time the us elections and hezbollah and the shell parties who are allied with iran have been blamed for stalling the formation of the government it order to see whether or not the balance of power in the region can change if theres a new president in the white house will there be an agreement with iran and that way will the pressure will the pressure be less on hezbollah in lebanon because for hezbollah this is really an existential struggle because you know it sees the sanctions the u. S. Sanctions on the group as well as the International Community and i think mark mccraw is harsh language when he said hezbollah you cannot be a Political Party and be a militia killing civilians in syria was definitely a 1st because we have to remember yes the United States considers the military and political wing of hezbollah as terrorist organizations but europe does not consider the political wing of hezbollah a terrorist organization in fact thats the main point of difference between the u. S. And france when dealing with lebanon and so is this macross saying that we could include your political wing on the terrorism list so a lot of warnings indirect threats but really no action taken well now to Political Developments in mali just 2 days after being sworn in the president has named an interim Prime Minister former foreign minister me will take over the role its hoped the appointment will end sanctions placed on mali by west african countries following a military coup last month the bloc demanded a civilian lead to be installed as a condition for lifting the sanctions which. Government has a clue just 18 months before National Elections take place Nicholas Hock is following the latest developments for us from a car in neighboring senegal he says i want his appointment is essential in winning support from the International Community but security element is still in the hands of the president and the Vice President and thats in their head but really the day to day nitty gritty of getting the state back on track well thats and then in the name in the hand of this new Prime Minister who will be nominating a new government on tuesday whats interesting about the nomination of this man is that he has the political power so it is a break with the recent past and the government of kate where we saw so many people take to the streets and angry and upset with him but at the same time it is someone that is with its continuation from the past someone who was the foreign minister under money to reign 2004 and subsequently to the representative of the United Nation and also at the cost of west for west african body whats important with this nomination is that weve seen that the president is a former officer of the military the Vice President was the leader of the military themselves so hes the 1st civilian in a position of leadership so hes key to ensuring that this government this government transition is successful to the eyes of the International Community.

The roof. Of the. World. That we look at the top stories now there has been a major escalation of the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan of the disputed region of no point to karabakh both sides have declared martial law and are accusing each other of making the 1st move. French president Emmanuel Macron is out to continue his initiative to save lebanon from collapse and says the nations leaders have betrayed that people by failing to form a government.

Well in all stories were following the Yemeni Government and who see rebels a finalized a deal to exchange more than 1000 prisoners the u. N.

N. Hopes the warring factions will resume talks soon to free all prisoners at the end of the day only parties to the conflict can bring long lasting positive change that yemeni people so neat. I believe over the laws there is we have been reminded here again that small steps that can have big impact are possible and much needed in yemen today. In the past tribal leaders and clerics brokered major prisoner exchanges but never managed to get all the parties to and the conflict. The saudi backed government insist a political deal will only happen once the houthi is pull out from the areas they controlled into 1014. 00 and had over their weapons it condition dismissed by the iran backed rebels who describe themselves as legitimate representatives of the yemeni people. In 2018 un envoy announced what he described as a landmark deal in yemen the Stockholm Agreement consisted of a prisoner swap the creation of a Demilitarized Zone in cities on the red sea and and to the fighting in tires and a commitment from all the parties to start political talks to end the conflict but within days the deal collapsed and fighting could resume.
