Hello, im lewis vaughanjones. Welcome to the programme. First this hour a deadline set by the west African Regional bloc ecowas for the militaryjunta to reinstate nigers ousted president Mohammed Bazoum expires later on sunday. Ecowas gave the coup leaders a week to restore the president or potentially face Military Action. Meanwhile, france says it will support efforts by ecowas. Nigers Prime Minister has been in paris saturday, meeting lawmakers and greeting protestors outside the niger embassy. He has dismissed pro coup protests taking place in his country. With the deadline only hours away, our correspondent chris ewokor reports from sokoto, North Western nigeria, close to the border with niger. They are bracing for the worst. Many of them were born here in nigeria but they have never been cut off from their roots in niger. The coup has caught them unawares. With the border is closed and the current political crisis, they are now separated from their families. This man lives here b
He says yes. But should she have to if the nation reinstitutes a draft. Often times they say no. I think youre talking in general about people who havent served. I have yet to meet a woman yet who says women shouldnt register for Selective Service. I think thats just unanimous. I think the women who are looking for the opportunity themselves also think that theres a responsibility. You know, in terms of society, the Selective Service argument is, i think, a smokescreen. Im my two cents, i dont think were going to have a draft again in this country until the aliens attack. At which point, all hands on deck, im just saying. I dont think theres anyone whos asking for opportunity who wouldnt also say i would take on the responsibility. For me, i do agree with a lot of things kai says. I think that theres a bias among those of us who have served to say, we think that universal service is really important to citizenship. We think that everybody should have an equal stake in that. But i get t
Meaning. While trying to enhance competition in the settop box market, the item shoots miles beyond that narrow frame on its very first page redefining statutory terms referencing to hardware such as navigation device, interactive communication equipment and other equipment to mean hardware or Software Including apps. I dont know how much clearer the terms device or equipment could be in their intent to reference tangible, physical hardware. If those words dont work to restrict the commission, are there any that could . I dont think that anyone here believes for a second that stellar could have made it out of a single congressal committee if the members knew it would be interpreted to allow the fcc to force them to stream all of their content for free to any app developer willing to jump through a few hoops. Getting back to the original question, why this proposal . The rational stated is to achieve parity among competing interfaces and first glance anyone can see that the opposite wou
Most of them are not. And the harsh reality is to get them to move, actually to take isis on they will have to be convinced that there is reckoning for a longterm political inclusion in this new government. It is a major issue for us. The province will be largely sunni tribes with some iraqi army assisting to retake that river valley. Peshmerga will not participate. Sunni tribes will also be needed to participate in a counteroffensive to retake mosul. While they will not be the main force, theyll need to be a supporting force because of the tribes that are up in that region. So yes, its key, and i think weve known that from the outset. So in effect, the politics will drive the military operations. Without effective political reconciliation or signals from baghdad, our military efforts, as strenuous as we may mount are not wont be particularly successful. Yeah, i just it would be hard to visualize a scenario with a successful counteroffensive to retake the territory thats been lost with
