Iraqs president says he would rather quit the name and you pride minister rejected by protesters. Refusing to designate the nominee of an iran backed parliamentary bloc in a letter to parliament barm seles said out of my team just to avoid bloodshed and protect civil peace i will not name. Dani as a candidate for the next Prime Minister. In baghdad she explains what might happen next. Its clear that the president is not willing to carry out what has been laid out as his duties in the constitution the constitution is very clear the largest ruling bloc in parliament has so nominate a name and that person becomes the caretaker Prime Minister until the country is ready to hold elections but since the ruling bloc is the group which is a group thats known to be allied with iran their candidates have all been rejected and this is the 3rd one that has been rejected by not only the president but various other Coalition Groups in parliament as well as the people on the streets they say that they dont want any candidate that is before us by a politician by a Political Group rather they want somebody who is independent now the president has now chosen to submit this letter in which he stresses that if he is to carry out his constitutional duties he will be going against the wishes of the people on the streets and that is not something that hes willing to do so what hes essentially done is put the ball back in the court of parliament to force them to understand his position has been under tremendous amount of pressure but we know that he has been supporting the demonstrators on the street he also has the backing of the clerical establishment in iraq so we think this will be seen as a maneuver for him to try and dissolve parliament that possibly call for early elections which is something the highest cleric in iraq has also called for ayatollah grand ayatollah ali sistani during friday sermons last week his representative in karbala said that there must be early elections held so this is all happening in an effort to make that a possibility the president has now left baghdad weve heard from various sources that hes back in his home town until the parliament decides what to do next but for now they have to decide whether or not to accept his position and that is that he will not accept this candidate who is the governor of basra because there is such opposition to him and his record because basra is one of the poorest provinces in. Iraq while it is actually home to 70 percent of iraqs oil reserves so theres a lot of allegations against this governor and that is why this candidate has not been accepted by anybody specifically the president himself so hes now put himself in a position where he says its really not up to me anymore it is up to parliament to decide what to do next turkeys president says he plans to send troops to libya with the tripoli based administration saying it will request military support if the conflict escalates turkey says it wants to support libyas internationally recognized government which has been under a bad long offensive by forces loyal to warlord who for half the president. Says he will present a bill on the deployment to parliament in january from the beginning we have objected to the coup perpetrated by the retired general against the lawful government we provided and are still providing assistance to libyas legitimate government against the coup plotter who is receiving support from certain european states libya is a neighboring country as we share maritime border lines in the Mediterranean Sea once the Parliament Comes into session we will present the proposal for dispatching turkish troops to libya based on the Security Cooperation agreement once indorsed by the parliament we will be able to effectively back the legitimate government some states who support the coup general with their jet fighters tanks and militia object to this move and criticize turkey because of it. In a moment well hear from bob moon up there wired in tripoli about what the government is saying their 1st cabinet door explains developments in turkey once the new year begins president on cecile take a bill to parliament that is going to not only also rise the deployment of troops but also give a monday of what they can and cant do once that lloyd in libya so that is what is happening right now but again this is something that has got to regional implications with tension already rising between turkey and greece on one side as well as cyprus because of the Energy Reserves in the eastern Mediterranean Sea so it is going to have region or medications. They say they are in need of military commanders to run the battles on the ground especially during the past few days after half of those forces have advanced and taken control of throughout egypt locations in southern tripoli including get a military camps Strategic Military camps in southern tripoli helped by russian mercenaries from the Wagner Company in order for turkey to send troops to their d. N. A. It needs a new mend day because the agreement signed with libya last month does not entail sending troops in fact it only entails military and Security Cooperation which that includes military equipment and navy vessels maybe and also logistics but it does not entail sending get troops there is why odone is stressing on an official request from the d.

S. President donald trump has tweeted about the situation in libya saying russia syria and iran are killing or on their way to killing thousands of innocent civilians in italy province dont do it turkey is working hard to stop this college our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett give some context around the timing of trumps tweet. This tweet from the u. S. President comes on the heels of statements by the u. N. Secretary general where there has been a very strongly worded statement regarding the military escalation the concern about the impact on civilians and also the call for sort of a sation in the violence in terms of the hostilities given the fact that those impacted have been children so there is a concern sort of the world is watching at the u. N. Level you add to that that the u. S. Congress has been also watching very closely the escalating violence in fact so much so it pushed through a pentagon budget that included very tough sanctions against syria russia and also iran for alleged war crimes the president signed that into law on friday so it appears that this is on his mind and you have to remember in the context of this is the fact that the United States has already launched air strikes in syria on 2 occasions once in 2017 once and 2800 so theres no other way to read this except that the u. S. President has essentially alerted the world and the countries involved putting them essentially on notice that if people are questioning the relationship of the United States president invited the turkish president to washington last month there was also a bilateral offsite unplanned unscheduled meeting that took place in london at those nato meetings so there is real questioning about the relationship the loyalties of turkey and many people putting that into the microscope here in the United States looking at the president wondering with this tweet what are you doing.
