Be militarily defeated without being treated in the homebase and so this fight eventually has to go over the iraqi border not odd. [inaudible] you dont really expect to defeat them . But there are ground forces. [inaudible] we have are the spoken about playing the role and im not suggesting that we have an optimally configured ground force in the region but im equally clear that injecting western boots on the ground would not be the solution. That would not deliver the solution. Try as they may leave lead us on to this. Thank you, mr. Chairman on this point. This analysis is being done with whatever you hope to achieve with airstrikes. And of course we are talking about this in recent years and so what are your plans for this situation . It also remains to be seen as far as a political transition in the regime to a government which has legitimately.

Can be accomplished [ inaudible ]. Why dont you go ahead and take it.

Rolls out the red carpet for u. S. President donald trump but tense talks still lie ahead the two powers are at odds over trade and cracking down on north korea. I am a layla the rockets a pleasure to have you along in germany could be the first the e. U. Country to allow people to register as a third gender in the countrys top court ruled that present laws discriminate against intersex people and that official documents could either recognize a third gender or move gender entries all together now the government has also has until the end of twenty eighteen to draw up new regulations. Fine you can hardly believe it. The years of fighting for a third gender have finally been rewarded and. There are lots of places in society where theres a split between the sexes. So i have to ask myself again and again how do i define myself do i try to fit in or do i trust myself not to do so and how are people going to react and.
