pacific. every weekday. i'm david shuster in for ali velshi, have a are great weekend everybody. this is al jazeera. ♪ hello and welcome to the news hour and i'm jane in doha and the top stories on al jazeera, the libya government remains in control despite heavy fighting in the capitol and second city. the taliban says it will keep fighting until islamic law is imposed across the whole pakistan. nato sees no sign of a reported russian troop withdraw from the ukrainian border.

tearful south korean president apologizes to the nation once again for the world ferry tragedy and the big sport stories and world and this is one of the most celebrated with the actions of the former world champion coming up, later in the program. ♪ the libyan government is insisting that it remains in control of the country despite heavy fighting in two major cities. gunmen launch attack on parliament on tripoli on sunday and demanded its suspension, an airport in the eastern city of benghazi came under rocket attack early on monday. dozens have been injured in the violence, many of them are citizens and the man at the center of the unrest is a man vowed to end hard line malitia

groups in benghazi and once a top leader for gaddafi and later fought to topple him in the 2011 u upz -- up raising and they say the actions relate to a coup and we are in tripoli and how is the government handling this, omar? >> reporter: the caretaker government remains very weak and incapable of reigning in the different malitia and rebel groups in libya. when it comes to events taking place for the last two or three days in benghazi and tripoli the government is putting on a brave face and controlling the situation and libya has a political problem as well as a security problem. the gnc is deeply divided along political and regional lines when it comes to security.

the government is very week and it lacks a professional army that can enforce law an order but the government insists it's in yol of the situation and defending the capitol. >> translator: the government condemns the expression of political opinion from the use of armed force for the parties and calls for the end of the military arsenal. >> wondering why this is happening now? >> yes, the on set depends on who you speak to. let me give you context to this. back in february they cleared the gnc, the general national congress as an illegitimate body and the reasons they gave for the declaration is the mandate of gnc had expired. when you speak to politicians and members of the gnc and they say, no, we are still acting within the constitutional declaration of this country and

that the gnc still has the mandate to run the country, prepare it, prepare a draft constitution, if it fails to prepare that constitution then it will go to early elections. nobody took general seriously then. now general came out and said the government is very weak. the gnc is backing extremists and terrorists and these are the words they have to use and that is why he had to act now. when you speak to analysts they will tell you all of that is related to foreign agenda and they are trying to drive libya something like towards egypt to try and stage a military coup so it really depends on you and who you speak to but the situation i would describe it in tripoli as well as benghazi as since and finally when you speak to libya, i went to a coffee shop early this morning and heard them and they are worried and some said this is the beginning of in fighting that could lead libya

to a civil war. >> reporter: thank you for the update from tripoli and thanks so much. leader of the pakistan taliban released a statement telling the government his men will continue to fight until islamic law is imposed across the country and he made the comments in a video that shows him being welcomed by fighters and we are joined from islamabad and talk us through this video and why do you think it's emerged now and what the message is. well, the timing is critical. as far as this particular video is concerned, interestingly the last time we saw a video message from him was 2011 after his fighters were forced to cross the border into afghanistan when the pakistan military launch add military operation. however, last year in november, ultimately there was a drone

strike and the leader was chosen of pakistan and he was very quiet in the last few months and this is the mires message coming from him after he was elected in pakistan and him saying again that the minimum demand was in position of the law and he asked his suicide bombers to be ready for another round of confrontation with forces. again, the timing is critical because the pakistan chief was in kabul. he will be raising the issue of cross border infiltrations by militant groups and pakistan who fought on the afghan side. so important timing as far as the message is concerned. >> reporter: thank you, defense has opened its case in the trial of former bosnia chief.

in the hague he is seen at the back of the room is facing 11 charges and include genicide and crimes against humanity. during the 1992-1995 bosnia war he specifically accused of killing thousands of muslim men and boys. europe's worst massacre since the second world war. nato has seen no reports of conducting exercises across ukraine border is back to their basis and they said that president putin ordered troops to withdraw following military drills and 40,000 troops are thought to be near the ukraine border and separatists declaring two regions independent following an official referendum. and so to rory live for us in moscow and nato says there is no

sign yet of the troops are withdrawing, can you prove otherwise and what do you think this message means from putin? >> well, if it is true and if the troops do start pulling back then i think what it means is militarily at least tensions are easing somewhat and in the words of a defense analyst i have spoken to in moscow he said what it means is that the invasion of ukraine has been temporarily cancelled because although these troops were officially on exercise they were posed in three russian districts bordering eastern ukraine and ready to sweep in to the east of ukraine if that border came through. of course that was worrying for kiev and worrying for western governments too. nato is remaining skeptical about this announcement because it has heard this sort of thing before from the russian

government first after the geneva talks and beginning of may as well and as far as nato is concerned the troops are still there, so a pinch of salt perhaps needed but if true it might go someplace toward deescalating the situation. >> the presence of troops is reduced and you wonder why putin would have taken that stand. >> there is an interesting practical element to this is that the russian army practices a conscription that happens yearly and they have come to the end of their deployment essentially and have to be demobilized when the new batch comes in. for the next two months russia army will be at a slightly lower ability than it will normally be and has an impact and putin

might be feeling more optimistic that his goal of ukraine is starting to look more likely and those are the comments coming out of the kremlin today. western leaders of course would like to think that their sanctions are biting hard and that it has forced mr. putin to step back. >> interest and rory thank you. south korea's president announced the country's coast guard will be broken up and replaced with a new safety agency. in a tearful address to the nation the president says she took full responsibility for the government's handling of the ferry disaster. harry faucet reports. >> reporter: south korea's president cried openly addressing the nation and paying tribute for those who gave their lives for others as the ferry sank. >> translator: i apologize to the nation of the pain and suffering everyone felt and as the president i should be responsible for the safety of

will being a -- agitated and will you find the last missing passenger or not. personal distress was bare in the speech and her approval rating has fallen from 60 to 40 and there are local elections coming up, on june the 4th. >> because of the significance of the issue and then the shock that ordinary people face and there is political momentum, that you can take advantage of. it's a crisis but i think this is an opportunity for her to take critical actions. >> reporter: another of those actions, a promise to end what the president called the bureaucratic move yeah promoting colusion and it's a longstanding, deep seeded problem from the disaster and the president is promising to set right, harry faucet, al
