al jazeera live for us, i know this came out of a court case earlier than expected i suppose it was a surprise in some ways how are people going to be effected by it? it has been a surprise, because we were expecting the emergency law to run for another couple of days. we expected a final day for all this was going to be thursday, so the fact that the course announced this two days before that comes as a shock to a lot of people, what this means really is that there are two things that come packages together. the emergency law and the curfew. we think the curfew may run for one more night, because we have spoken to people inside the police force, who say that they haven't received these orders yet, and until they do receive them they still will continue to
1:26 pm
impose the curfew and the ample is saying something similar, they need to hear from the prime minister but the curfew is lifted. the emergency law does things like grant the forces so they can arrest people, without warrants they can go into people's homes withoutn't ways. they won't be able to do that any more. it is a slightly controversial decision, because there are people here who think that the emergency law should have been extended because of the security situation. but to have done that there would have had to be presidential degree, and a referendum as well. the ore thing means is that the former president of egypt who is currently undergoing a retrial at the moment, and is uphorse arrest as a

1:33 pm
some of these are very hard to reach. getting information about them, makes it very difficult to reach out to them. the government has done a commendable job to get some supplies. but the bulk should be coming in in the next few days. it is a big dilemma for us, no doubt about it. thankfully within the united nations we have divided our responsibilities so a number of agencies take on different responses. we are a protection agency, and we are targeted particularly the elderly, the sick, the people who have lost their families, heads of households, mothers, and other very vulnerable communities. however, in such a situation when everyone is ex-treatmently vulnerable, it's very
1:34 pm
hard choice to make. i can tell you right now, the aid that we with have, the assistance, that we are flying in is just not enough for the magnitude of the crisis. to libya and what is becoming a serious crisis. is east of the country looks like it is slipping out of government control and that includes the rich oil fields. militias that are antigovernment say they are now in charge of all the money that comes from all the oil. these are usually socialed with money fields. but libya they are failing to use billions of dollars for a weak government. and it's grip is particularly fragile in the east. anti government militias have announced they will begin selling oil from the field under their control.
1:35 pm
the central alliance also announced that it will set up its own bank. this will be an additional boil to the already cash strapped libyan government. >> due to the delay in reopening oil fields the state will find itself helpless because we don't have the resources for employment. except through oil, and the budget has been ambulanced only the basis of the national oil. but prime minister's words may not carry the punch it wants. he was even taken hostage. he was accused of issuing checks to military guards who have been blocking an oil refinery. bro tests have continues for months. last monday a militia leader defended blocking oil production.
1:36 pm
>> too take what is rightfully theirs from oil experts. >> the libyan army is try to make its presence felt, but powerful militias have made the government ineffective in many parts. and as religious and secular groups remain in the parliament, more sources of revenue continue to slip out of coffers. the major companies are germany, france, and italy. i don't think they will be inclined to deal with
1:37 pm
the mafia. they only deal with the government, because they have vested oil interests in libya. the libyan economy is depend to the tune of 85 persons to 90 persons on the oil revenue. so without oil exports the libyan economy will not function, and the libyan government has delayed the issuing of next year's budget because they don't know what revenue they will get. mind you, they used to export 1 million barrels a day. to europe, now they are not exporting anything, in fact, they are not meeting the domestic needs of the country. they are producing only 200 to 300,000 barrels a day which are far less than the domestic consumption of libya. >> palestinian children whose fathers are in
1:38 pm

1:39 pm
new outfelts every time. she was only a month old when her father was detained. that will be the 6th time she has seen her father, and he is only ever held her when she was a newborn. >> we used to know my dad. when he was on inker strike, we only hear from the lawyer. we get exhausted but when we see him all the exhaustion goes away. >> now they cross the military check point into israel. they don't return until nighttime. >> after hours of driving heavy secure 4:00s and waiting they arrive at the prison in southern israel to visit their father for 45 minutes. many other children go through the same thing. because the adult family members of at least a third of palestinian prisoners do not receive permits to visit their relatives in israeli prisons. under law it is illegal to transfer palestinian prisoners to detention facilities inside israel.
1:40 pm
but israel breaks this law by holding over 5,000 palestinian prisoners in 26 prisons. only one of which is in the occupied west bark. >> this is out of policy to control their life, and their relations mainly the relations with their family and waythe lawyers that represented them. >> the monthly visited mean the world. they don't see the long trips as a burden, rather as the only way to stay close to their fathers. southern israel. >> for smoker whose are trying to kick the habit, e cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular, the question is do they present a health risk. david, thank you, in italy and spain alone, they have seen a 200% increase in the use of these cigarettes but a conference here today has been discussing how much we know about them.
1:41 pm
sondra went to meet the experts. >> this may not be a normal tobacco, but they believe they are on to a good thing. that is smoking an electronic cigarette. they can choose the flavor and even the strength they want to vain. a healthy alternative, they say to smoking real cigarettes. >> i am not a doctor, but i haven't smoked for 12 years, more than 25 per day, and i quit for -- i stopped six months ago. and i feel my body completely different than before. >> the health risks have been known for decades. it has been seen increasingly as an antisocial habit. there is much more severe problems. and many here believe it is time to distinguish between smoking and vaping. >> there are questions surrounds the use of e cigarettes. do benefits really
1:42 pm
outweighted the risk, and do they help people to stop smoking. pater of the problem is there is mostly anecdotal evidence, and only a few studies that suggest whether they are healthier than actual cigarettes. >> 1 billion people die from smoking in the twenty-first century, if you can get a substantial number of people to use these rather than smoke over the long term, you can possibly save hundreds of millions of lives out of that 1 billion death toll. >> but e cigarettes have not been around for long, so there's no long term evidence. like normal cigarettes they are addictive, and it is an opportunity for them to take advantage of the mass appeal. >> if you are selling an addictive product, then you have a massive potential opportunity to make vast sums of money, and that's why you need
1:43 pm
to control the, maaing. >> so now scientists are cautiously welcoming ecigarettes in the short term, it may be a way of voiding the illnesses such as bronchitis associated with smoking. the long term effects are still a long way from being known. al jazeera, london. rah mining company in romania is not letting reject stand in its way to start digging for gold. the get corporation says it is confident romania will pass new laws to encouraging mining in the country by next year. but on monday, parliament voted against a controversial bill that will clear the way for the company to start mining. admitted to us that he fears invests tors in the mine may remove their support. >> i'm sure that we will build this mine. if at 1 point in time, in the future, all investors
