not at molly at stop cooperating with the french. molly is at the core of, for either geographic or, and military center of these are this region where do need for cooperation between 5 states is necessary in order to combat terrorism. and ah, now that money was no longer cooperating with the french. it meant that the g 5 had not much of a roar edible. dora de g 5 was to provide to coordinate international help to the region, and also to help military ye armies of the region in the fight against terrorism. now that when malady decided to go into her own, it was, it became, it was impossible to achieve. and we can see now that for example, a comparison to marry a suffer from it done is probably benefiting dress from injunction heck than are the origin. we see that marie, a position of money is very hard to understand for somebody bought a claim that is because france was not successful against terrorism. but actually france as was fairly successful, do not manage to bring peace in the area. it was not just due to the french, it was due to a failure of governance or on the part of the

we love the way molly is being led today. we have never been so proud in our county to be standing all to be assuming and sorry our so it. ready will be the fact that you will just have a nice it may issues trying to isolate mom, so we take from fight or so day is to take down our. ready our military leaders, we're with the people. ready they will say, and one digit one minute out, 10 men will stand up in this day. this is not the model one man, this is in model our nation understanding and having you decide that wrong. the fresh control from the french lou is from there were no dot t o r t r e r r i will we have run out of time. we're going to have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much. all of our guest here carol? yes. um, okay, emanuel questioning and jacqueline and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com. and for further discussion go our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. you can also, during the conversation o

molly. molly: griff, thank you. joining us now is republican congressman from texas, a member of the house appropriations committee, tony gonzalez. his district includes uvalde where that horrific mass shooting occurred. congressman, new for joining us. our condolences to you, the people of your state, the people of uvalde and especially these grieving parents. there have been a considerable amount of misinformation imparted by law enforcement, governor abbott describing himself livid about some of the info he received. you had been told in the killer had been arrested previously for plotting a school shooting. and now it's not the case, twor other juveniles. and your thoughts on the misinformation and imparted on the facts? >> thank you, this is day five post event and i'll be honest, i'm emotionally drained. my community is emotionally drained. we've gone through a rollercoaster of different emotions as we've tried to deal with this. as far as the information goes, the bulk of my information is on the ground from

this is the 2nd mission that jeremy's involved in, in molly, the training mission of molly and forces. now the germans say, well, they're not happy with the progress they're, there been the allegations of corruption but also of the atrocities carried out. there was a massacre back at the end of march where they were allegations that molly and soldiers had been involved in that. and of course, there's also the frustration with the military government saying they're not moving quickly enough to hold of a civilian elections and move back to a civilian path. and also the involvement with russian troops. it means they got frustrated, they're going to shift the focus of the mission to new jan now where they'll be just 300 german troops involved rather than the 600 who have been training troops in molly up to now the w. vertical correspondence, simon young reporting. thank you. and before we go ukraine's entry for this year's eurovision song contest colors, orchestra has qualified for saturdays grand finale. oh, a booth is one of the favorites to win the contest in please this year in italy,

this is tamika, the capital of molly. earlier this year, the hostility towards france is clear and surprising. molly was once a french colony, the abuses of that year. i have not been forgotten. in 2013 french troops teamed up with molly enforces to fight an insurgency in the north. 9 years later, there is little to show for it. in french troops have begun to withdraw. while so many of these protesters carrying russian flags and why are they purchase of richard wagner? the 19th century german music composer, a man who was deeply anti semitic, a favorite of ad off hitler's, and his music provided the soundtrack to the nazi movement. the answer is that wagner image has become a symbol from orleans who support a private russian military company called the wagner group, an organization that has no website, no telephone number, no physical address. wagner says secretive that officially, it does not exist legal vac. now, the wagner group doesn't carry a regular crash. they misinformation and influence campaigns on line that coi

and you know, the west african state of molly has nines. it's withdraw from the g. 5. saw hill organization after being rejected for the presidency of the group. bama co believes external pressure was behind them, it's before you. so it is of those that are just the government of the republic of molly firmly rejects the argument of a g 5 member state which advances the internal national political situation to reject molly's exercising. the g 5 to hell presidency is really not the opposition of some g, 5 to hell member states to molly's presidency as linked to maneuvers by state outside the region. aiming desperately to isolate molly. as a result, in what the government of molly is deciding to withdraw from all the organs and bodies of the g. 5 to health, including the joint force with the local for august. yet just to point out, the g 5 sal grouping is a regional organisation comprised of bertino fuss. so chad, molly mauretania and niger in 2017 and established an integer. how this forced to fight terrorism in the region which has claimed t

so how back in february, except the member state refuse to hand it over to molly, citing that molly's lead by an unelected leader. remember there was a queen molly in august 2020 and then a 2nd crew by the same military june in june 2021. the irony, of course, is that the g 5 to how it is currently led by it. no debbie from chad and there hasn't been any lectures in chat for a couple of decades. but in the statement made on national television, the spokesperson of the a government of transition in the military gentle said that the opposition of some of the g 5 members is linked to maneuvers by state outside the region. aiming at isolating malia now who they're referring to. there is friends, friends, a former colonial power that had 5000 troops, mostly in mali. now baby announced a pull out of that read of the now on the strategic front. the g. 5 to hell has failed to deliver in terms of ensuring less attack. so it's also institution that has failed to get the funding necessary from donors, from the european union in the west. so for the molly and authorities, it's a defunct organizat

from burkina faso charred molly martini, near, or in the g. 5 a hell. it was formed 5 years ago to combat arm groups linked to isolate and al qaeda. but it struggled to reduce attacks because of lack of funding and disagreements among member states. molly was due to take over as chair of the force in february, but opposition from member states angered its military rulers. when you go to suppose that you just think so the opposition of some g 5. so how many states tamale's presidency is linked to maneuvers by state outside the region aiming desperately to isolate molly, while his government accuses former colonial power, france of excluding it. once friends, now foes, the 5000 french troops deployed almost 10 years ago to protect molly's government from attacks or pulling out after the military. coups in 2020 leaders of the gentle hired russian mercenaries from the wagner group for their protection. the gentiles refusing to hand over power to civilian rule for another 2 years. as a result, neighboring countries have imposed sanctions on the landlocked co

he says molly's leaders have isolated the country again. in that molly's taking a further step away from regional cooperation and also a step away from france which backs the g 5 as part of its regional strategy. again, one of the worst areas of jihad is in the world. there's really nobody that wants to cooperate with the molly and purchase cover, right? government right now. i came to power in a coup in august of 2020. and then another qu, may of 2021 ad 1st announcing and did want to hold elections for 5 years. it's now reduced that to 2 years, and it's subject to many sanctions from eco wass, and over 50 nations that had truth in molly as part of the, the stabilisation of molly after the civil war. and molly, they've all pulled out a lot of the troops have moved to a very niger, and that increased the importance of the region working as a region nor to compared to combat the jihadists threats moving all about. and molly's saying, nope, we're going to do it on our own. the 1st commercial slides in nearly 6 years has taken off from yeoman'

we've seen an uptick of violence outside of molly from arm groups that are based in molly in regions further afield as far as togo. now molly is increasingly isolated from the region. the west african body echo us has put sanctions in place, has closed off borders with molly and out to that now this latest blow which is pulling out of the g 5. so how and then the announcement made by france back in december that its pulling out its troops left there are the un peacekeeping force made up of 15000 soldiers now on tony good terrorist at the un security council said that what's happening in molly, the leadership of molly is having debilitating effect on its ability to ensure its mandate. it seems that left are the russian mercenaries, the russian fighters linked to wagner. and molly seems to want to go at it alone with the russians to try to repel the armed groups that are in their country and is willing to be further isolated from the region. and on the other hand, growing further and closer to the russians, the 1st commercial flight to take off from the emmans capital in nearly 60 year

is this pull out by molly? well initially what's going to happen is the lack of information sharing or intelligent sharing between molly and neighboring countries. and that's really going to affect less, molly, but the neighboring countries that have been targeted by arm groups that, that are, that are active within molly. so we've seen a tax in the share in brooklyn foss over the weekend, over 40 people were killed bar arm groups linked to the local isis affiliated. so there's fear that there's going to see we're going to see more attacks and we've seen also attack going further afield in togo. and that's the result of the lack of cooperation between molly and it's, it's regional forces. now togo has offered to mediate the situation or the, the lack of cooperation between the, the regional countries. and molly, you have to remember that already 50 countries have pulled out of the since there was this military coup in august 2020. when that puts the un peacekeeping mission in molly, which is the most expensive,

molly's military jones, i made that announcement sizing, a lack of progress. molly was due to hold the g 5 presidency in february, but there's been criticism of the military since it took power and a crew last year. now the g 5, the health force includes troops from new jersey child became a faster and more attain yeah, it was set up back in 2017 to counter arms groups which have swept across the region in recent years. but the force has been hobbled by lack of funding and disagreements amongst member states, or william laurence is a former us diplomat setting is regional security off the west africa. he says molly's leaders have isolated the country. it's significant. in that molly's taking a further step away from regional cooperation and also a step away from france which backs the g 5 as part of its regional strategy. again, one of the worst areas of jihad is in the world. there's really nobody that wants to cooperate with the molly and purchase cover, right? government right now. they came to power and qu in august of 2020. and then another qu may of 2021 at 1st announcing and did

but also in molly molly home to the biggest and most expensive un peacekeeping operation, costing a $1000000000.00 a year. but also the deadliest more un peacekeeping soldiers have died there than any previous mission. now he did not visit molly during this tore of west africa, but she did address the issues and the concerns that he has in bobby, a country that is under sanction from the west african body echo us on to sincerely in all honesty, i seen with great distress the coo and molly, then with even greater distress. the 2nd qu, i'm convinced we need to keep engaging with molly. that's what we're doing. and i hope it will be possible to have an agreement between molly and echo was to agree on an acceptable time for the transition period. and that molly is reintegrated within the echo. last framework, i don't comment on measures taken by others. what i want is molly to have the flexibility to agree with x, y, and bring back no morality in this country. and i'm sure it'll solve all the other issues. he also addressed looming, triple crisis affecting people in west africa, food, energy, and fina

the stabilisation of molly after the civil war. and molly, they've all pulled out a lot of the troops have moved to a very niger, and that increased the importance of the region working as a region nor to compared to combat. the jihad is threats moving all about. and molly's saying nope, we're going to do it on our own. after months of delays, threats of violence and a growing hunger crisis, somalia finally has a new president house and shake mohammed has had the job before but was posted out 5 years ago. now some lab reports now from august issue she moved with it is if somalia once before now is back in office again, my country needs to work forward and not go backwards and it doesn't need violence and revenge. whatever was done to people, we call for forgiveness. this time the gunfire on the streets of the capital, nobody who is in celebration is an armed conflict. people who are glad to have a change of leader as an shake, defeated outgoing president mohammed of the law. he mohammed known as far maggi, whose popularity has decl

the, the stabilisation of molly after the civil war. and molly, they've all pulled out a lot of the troops who move to made very niger, and that increased the importance of the region working as a region nor to compact to combat the jihad is threats will be all about. and molly's saying, nope, we're going to do it on our own. south korea has offered to help the north korea as it battles to control its 1st confirmed go with 19 outbreak sold says it's willing to provide medicines and technical assistance. infections are rising rapidly in north korea with hundreds or thousands of suspected cases. catchy lopez, hurry on, reports. who will be on duty? i'm up until recently. north korea's leader would never be seen in public wearing a mask. but now king john own can no longer avoid it. local media is calling it an explosive outbreak of coven 19 dozens of people have died with more than 800000 suspected cases. the government has ordered a strict walk down, but cases are spreading fast toward an unknown error on state television, a doctor recom

in, in molly more recently, molly, home to the biggest and the most expensive un peacekeeping operation, a $1000000000.00 a year. and where more un peacekeepers have died than any previous mission while he chose not to go to molly, but he dressed molly in his press conference conference, a country that is under section from the west african body echo os their borders are shut a country that is increasingly isolated the he's trying to draw the attention that what's happening in europe will affect people in africa, specifically on the food shortage front front and the looming famines that could happen in the region. as a result, that's why he's going to visit those displays. there were one in government says a law so being pursued again, states in the us by the family of a man who in spite of the hollywood film hotel, we're wonder, is baseless pull recessive. again, his family is suing for $400000000.00. they say he was looted from his home in the . busy us to be imprisoned and then tortured in kigali, is currently serving 25 years in jail for terrorism. yolanda nicola, the, we're wonderi

of the, the stabilisation of molly after the civil war. and molly, they've all pulled out, and those were sort of coordinated by the french. they've all pulled out a lot of the troops to move to neighboring niger, and that increased the importance of the region working as a region nor to combat the combat the jihadists threats will be all about. and molly's saying, nope, we're going to do it on our own. and you know, fi on all your house is just the fact that we're not a democracy. doesn't mean we can't run our affairs the own way. and if we don't have a democracy, that's francis fall, the sort of point the finger at trans, gleaming there, neo colonial, neo pure imperial interests for all of mal, molly's political worlds. so given what you say, what does this mean? now, in terms of the fight against groups in the for region, it gets worse. so we've had 3 coups in molly burkina and gimme where purchased leaders had come to power saying we can do better against the terrorists, except they do worse for many reasons. but a leading one is that

molly, the molly military genta explained. i quote that the opposition of some g 5 members is linked to maneuvers by state outside the region, aiming at isolating molly and this is what the molina authorities feel. they feel that they're being targeted by friends, fonts. prime minister showing contacts is handed in his resignation to the newly re elected president of money on the account that clears the way for a capital re shuffle. the 1st female prime minister for 30 years of corners announced the appointment of labor minister elizabeth born to lead the government. the tasha buffalo reports now from paris. france has a new prime minister elizabeth born. she is 61, and most people in france will know her because she has served as a minister under the french presidency, minute micro since he was 1st elected in 2017. his health, a number of positions is being transport minister minister for ecological transition. and most recently as neighbor minutes or something that will be seen by the president is very useful as he looks to

and we spoke to the molly and foreign minister after his talks in moscow. ah, was over in no excellence or less on it. we have a wonderful partnership with russia, a long term cooperation, which is only become stronger over the years. we have close cooperation in the fields of security and information. and we expect that the partnership will be the same in political cooperation. and we also want to create some economic vases with russia. molly, as a country under sanctions, opposes the sanctions and embargoes imposed on russia. such a policy is not a solution. it is no secret that more people die from food shortages than from terrorism or insecurity. the shortage of food that is being observed in the market can lead to an increase in poverty as well as tensions in our society. and this is undesirable. and i think that the international community should demonstrate common sense and applying these measures in such a way that the most vulnerable and poor groups of the population do not pay the price it a little. ah, with a for sale process. good, that is, sam

mollie, what is this? >> mollie: i would like to know who thought this was a good idea because it takes something that they are printed make it sound uncool. ultra maga sounds totally cool. i do assume what they are turn to do is move away from the extremism of their policies, the failure of their policies, everything biden has mentioned, everything biden has touched. he said inflation is his number one priority. he did not actually say decreasing inflation. maybe -- [overlapping speakers] >> mollie: then he would have done a good job with his spending packages. managing to create the problem. >> laura: miller, how worried are you about the fall and that mention of covid that is coming. 100 million cases unless we get our 12 those $20 billion and more pushing of that mail-in ballots, more justification for extended voting, again, maybe people worried about schools in some cities as well, teachers unions, going to be saying that we need more ventilation or whatever that latest complaint is. >> stephen: they

and molly's government says it's thwarted and attempted to blaming an unnamed weston country for support. now ukraine's military command says the mission to defend the as of style still plant is over. more than 260 ukranian fighter the been brought out from the last stronghold of resistance in the city of maria pull. russia announced on monday that it reached a deal with ukraine to have wounded soldiers removed from the facility. moscow says they'll be taken to a medical facility in the russian control town of never as ubs. they could become part of a prisoner swap. ukraine says efforts are underway to rescue fighters who are still in the plant. so did he deem grace. he schools, thanks to the actions of the ukrainian military, the international committee of the red cross. and the un, we hope that we will be able to save the lives of our guys. we are severely wounded soldiers among those that have been given care. i want to stress that ukraine needs ukrainian heroes alive. that's our principles. i think that any reasonable person will understand these words. the work continues to return a

well, he chose not to go to molly, but he dressed molly in his press conference conference, a country that is under section from the west african body echo was there, borders are shut a country that is increasingly isolated. listen to what he had to say about molly own to sincerely. in all honesty, i've seen with great distress, the coo and molly, then with even greater distress. the 2nd qu, i'm convinced we need to keep engaging with molly. that's what we're doing. and i hope it will be possible to have an agreement between molly, an echo was to agree on an acceptable time for the transition period, and that molly is reintegrated within the echo. last framework. i don't comment on measures taken by others on what i want is molly to have the flexibility to agree with x, y, and bring no morality in this country. and i'm sure it'll solve all the other issues and make what else is you in chief trying to highlight during this 3 day to well, it's important to know that he's coming to west africa after having been in ukraine . and this, he's trying to draw the attention that what's happenin

we spoke to the molly and foreign minister just after those talks. ah, boozer seymour festival, molly as a country under sanctions oppose, it's such a policy. such a policy is not a solution. today, there are a number of key areas, for example, the production of fertilizers which it necessary for food production. molly is an agricultural country. moreover, it's no secret that more people die from food shortages than from terrorism or insecurity. therefore, even in the face of restrictive measures imposed on a number of strategically important sectors such as wheat production. in all our countries, people eat bread and the current shortage of food on the market can lead to an increase of poverty levels, as well as tension in societies. whatever measures i, i think the international community should demonstrate common sense in applying these measures. in such a way that it does not happen at the expense of the most vulnerable and pull groups of the population. penelope, or some bizarre von no. we have a wonderful partnership with russia long term coope

gara and tumbled 2 regions. molly has seen the 3 military crews since 20 swells. the latest was just a year ago. the physical upheaval came about as a result of the arabs spring, which dropped the country into endless civil war. as the moderates mostly nation nation fights against so called g hottest supporters of a radical branch of religion, but by local al qaeda terrorists. ortiz, antoine clara reports from the ground, would love to them a cool. we are driving from mca to tim buck to on a particularly dangerous stretch of road, sometimes terrorist attack civilian bust, his head over there with the molly, an army is escorting us to our destination due to security concerns. we are safe with them. all of this area is dangerous. sometimes they've been shooting moving cars a month ago, a taxi driver was killed or do a lot of it. us sick in addition to the security threat posed by that you had us. there is also the religious aspect, the serial law, which they are trying to impose wherever they are 40. now people suffer when they're asked to wear a bale. it is hard fo

he also went to the border of molly and he's here at brookins. so the, the 3 region border in an area called taylor berry in welcome to meet those displaced and there he said that to combat arm groups linked to al qaeda and i saw, well, people needed to build a hospital schools education. that's the key to combat the situation there. take a look at our report from that region south of the saras, new years to bury region by the maryan border is a remote refugee camp where people live in fear. they're mostly women and children from neighboring molly fling, what they say is an unstoppable spiral of violence in their homeland, across the border. they thought they would be safe. but here, 2 armed groups linked to al qaeda and i still come to kill them. well, went on it that i needed to know, didn't know what to say. i remember the day the bandits came and killed one of us left with another. afterwards they ordered us to leave the village and everyone, children, old people and us women. we all came here on foot and they'll call it. $14000.00 un peaceke

molly, the molly in military genta explained. i quote that the opposition of some g 5 members is linked to maneuvers by state outside the region, aiming at isolating molly and this is what the molina authorities feel they feel that they're being targeted by friends. after months of delays, threats of violence and growing hunger crisis, somalia has a new president, hasn't shake my mood as the job had the job before. rather that was those it out 5 years ago. i'll just hear malcolm web reports from that issue. i listen, shake the move which is familiar once before. now we're back in office again. my country needs to work forward and not go backwards and it doesn't need violence intervention. whatever was done to people we call for forgiveness this time the gunfire on the streets of the capitol. nobody who is in celebration is an armed conflict. people here at lansing have a change of leader as an shake defeated outgoing president mohammed ad de la. he mohammed, known as former jay, whose popularity has declined over his 5 years. you
