military intrerchtion intrefns intervention of libya. >> egypt has launched air attacks for the second time in a day. killing a number of children and damaging residential buildings. the self proclaimed defense minister says they have bombed partly of the eastern city of benghazi and cert. >> a if we were able to hit them we wouldn't hesitate to fight them. same thing applies for egypt. borders aren't going to be an

issue. >> the rival government in tripoli has denounced the attacks. >> this horrible assault by the egyptian military represents a violation of sovereignty in libya and clear breach of international law and the u.n. charter. >> the first air campaign came, coptic christians went to libya for work. abdel fattah al-sisi offered his apologizes. egypt has been running a campaign against what it calls terrorist groups in the sinai peninsula since august of 12th. since then one of its latest videos, i.s.i.l. made a direct threat against italy now

evacuated its embassy there. and along with egypt and france is calling for action by the united nations. caroline malone, al jazeera. >> in the wake of those air strikes in libya army units have been sent to help police secure roads and public buildings. national defense council decided on sunday that the police should be supported by the military across the country. egypt's air strikes in libya coincide with its signing a major deal to upgrade its military hardware. it's agreed to buy 24 jets and naval frigate in a deal noted to be worth almost $6 billion. nadim baba reports. >> french defense minister was in cairo on monday signing an

arms deal worth almost $6 billion. >> translator: egypt was the first country to buy the mirage 2000 jet fighters and today was the first to choose the rafali jet fighters. >> the contract includes the first rafale fighter jets. the company in which makes the jets struggled to secure major contracts in recent years. >> translator: closers the french and the egyptian political authorities and in a time where we all have to fight jihaddism, it is good to have a close connection between the french and the egyptians. >> before signing french president francois hollande spoke on the phone with his egyptian counterpart abdel fattah al-sisi.

regarding his sympathy for the killing of the egyptians in libya. paris says the military deal represents the existing military deal between france and egypt. alternatives to u.s. military assistance. last week russian president vladimir putin was in egypt. now egypt is getting some new advance military hardware as it flexes its muscles in north africa. nadim baba, al jazeera paris. growing support for military involvement in libya after i.s.i.l.'s threat to conquer rome. prime minister says the u.n. needs to take the lead. italy closed its embassy in in libya over the weekend.

>> translator: i want to strongly emphasize that we need to be ready to make our military resources available for a possible international initiative. but this is not on the agenda right now. what's on the agenda now is a strong political diplomatic initiative. >> well, predictably as a the situation deteriorates in libya thousands more migrants have been risking their lives making the treacherous journey to italy to the island of lampedusa off the coast of italy. more than 2,000 rescued migrants have been taken. claudio lavanga reports. >> a boat through of migrants finally brought to the safety of italy after a perilous journey through stormy seas. more than 2,000 people many from

subsaharan africa left on 12 boats on sunday. as the italian coast guard attempted to mount a rescue a group of men armed with kalashnikovs threatened them, ordering them otake the migrants and leaving the boats behind. a new warring tactic, unprecedented number of migrants attempt to make the journey to europe on rickety boats in the winter season. thousands have lost their lives trying. italian authorities have warned that as many as 200,000 migrants are in libya ready to set sail for europe. more than 170,000 who were rescued during 2014 a four fold increase on previous years. with this new wave of violence in libya there are fears that even more people will attempt to escape. fighters will try to reach italy and europe disguised as

migrants. something italian authorities say they need wider european help to prevent. claudio lavanga roam. >> talks have ended without a teal being reached in brussels. only a month left before greece runs out of money and is facing default against its debt. now the eu insists the talks are over until greece changes its position. now renegotiating the terms of $270 billion worth of loans. let's go to john siropolous in athens. john there doesn't seem to be any agreement inside. is there middle ground between the two sides right now? >> reporter: no, there is not. absolutely not. what has happened is, greek

government was led to believe in the talks since last wednesday's euro group which had again ended in an impasse that some of the difference had been covered. statements from greek government officials here had suggested that its creditors had agreed to grant a 1.5% ceiling on the percentage of the economy that would be handed over to creditors each year. so that more money could remain inside the greek economy both to alleviate poverty and to finance reinvestment in growth and repopulation, all of that has seemed to been thrown out and we are back where we were last wednesday where creditors were demanding that 4.5% of the greek economy be given over to creditors in order to service the debts. the problem is the greek government has been elected on a platform of changing that.

it cannot by virtue of its mandate go back on its word. neither however can it unilaterally decide to back out of the euro zone. it is therefore left with no choice but to insist on further talks, hoping that reason can prevail between the two sides. now the communique that finance minister said he was presented with earlier in the evening he says he would have signed. he said i was presented with the communique that i was happy to sign as it then stood. this was presented to him by the economic affairs commission. however, he says this was withdrawn at the beginning of the euro group or just before the euro group began, in fact and replaced by a text which again asked greece to sign on to an agreement of austerity which it has already rejected.

greece is calling this state of affairs unacceptable and unreasonable and ultimatum and the euro zone says sign on or there will be no more talks. >> if there is no more agreement by the end of the month greece runs out of money it can't pay wages, can't pay pensions, and the company essentially goes bankrupt. they wanted them to take this hard stance. now they're perhaps losing heart a little bit and they're worrying about what potentially might happen if there is no agreement. >> well, it's hard to say. opinion polls last week suggested that the number of people who support syriza now is twice as many as voted for them on january 25th. however, this was during a week when talks were ongoing. this is a turning point.

at this point we have at least at the present moment a breakdown. greece has accused its creditors of a bait and switch and its creditors have said you can come back to the euro group only once you have asked for an extension of the program the full program, not just the loans that you already agree that you owe the european union but also the terms that accompany those loans. greece cannot politically do this. so therefore, at the moment, barring any sideline meetings between possibly finance ministers or heads of government there seems to be at the moment no official way forward for any talks to take place. it's a standoff. >> john siropolous with the latest from athens. john, thank you. let's go back to our top story now and that is of course egypt's launching air strikes on the islamic state of iraq and the levant group in libya.

joining us now life from sarasota in florida is robert leber, professor ever financial avis at georgetown university, sir, thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. we are seeing these egyptian air strikes on groups that say they are allied to i.s.i.l. we're seeing the threat again presumably of i.s.i.l. to say they will could be kerr rome. just -- conquer rome. just go through this spread of i.s.i.l. do you think it's groups linked to the group or a factor of using it as an intrel brel umbrella term to encompass all sorts of groups of people? >> it's some of both. the growth of i.s.i.s. and its related groups has been largely unexpected. for example, what happened in iraq last spring and summer, i.s.i.s. has moved in and taken

some -- stolen some of the thunder of al qaeda in part because al qaeda had a more split structured way of admitting individuals and groups. i.s.i.s. appeals to very nillistic groups. and it now represents quite a significant threat in north africa and big parts of the middle east. >> it's interesting you made the comparison with al qaeda. do you think when we talk about all these groups that are certainly inspired by i.s.i.l. can we really say they're linked to it, do you see a true link between these groups or links that could become stronger later on? >> well, al qaeda had tighter control of its elements. i.s.i.s. seems to be looser. i.s.i.s. was originally al qaeda in iraq. which the american-led surge ending in '08-'09 had effectively defeated.

and they the retreated. but the kay -- they had retreated. but the chaos in iraq and the nature of the government of iraq which was exclusively shiite and which oppressed the sunnies created situations in which they could regenerate. and because of spectacular early successes and the publicity they have gathered have grown at an alarming rate and even though decentralized in some important respects. >> we are seeing -- we saw egypt attacking i.s.i.l.-led groups in libya, we've also seen of course jordan engt haven its the -- strengthen its attacks on i.s.i.l. what do you think there is for more action against i.s.i.l. groups, how do you think it changes the approach on the group as we have seen before,

historical against al qaeda as a mainly western led attack on the group? >> i think it's very important because one of the propagandaistic tools is to it's west the jews and what have you. the fact is that the arab states have tended to keep the heads down as long as they weren't in the direct line of fire. i think one of the consequences of events just in recent days is that not only jordan and egypt but the united arab emirates and others are finding that they really need to step up their own efforts to combat what has become a real threat to them. and getting these arab states their leaders their militaries, their peoples engaged in the fight against i.s.i.l is critical. and one of the few positive elements of recent events is that these governments and their leaders now seem to be taking

more action on their own which is quite important. >> robert liber from georgetown university speaking to us from sarasota, sir thank you so much for sharing your views with us. and still to come, in this newshour, we'll get a look at hungary's energy deal with russia, ahead of a controversial visit by president putin. schools reopen in liberia but fears of ebola remain. and an unhappy end for lance armstrong. that's in sport a little later in the newshour. but first fighting is still raging in parts of eastern ukraine despite a ceasefire that began two days ago. explosions have been heard in debaltseve.

a key transportation hub between donetsk and luhansk. the next step in the peace plan is for heavy weaponry to be removed from the area. now that looks increasingly unlikely. both sides say they won't pull back until a full ceasefire is implemented. charles stratford has more from donetsk. >> reporter: the ceasefire may have had effect wrels but around debaltseve has had little effect. several thousand ukrainian troops are encircled by separatists. >> translator: the shelling does not stop although putin says there is a ceasefire it doesn't make any sense. can you see it for yourself the position we are securing. we don't know, i have to run as there's not much time left. >> reporter: at a separatistist check point afew

miles away you could hear the shelling. they say they will keep fighting until they take the town, an important strategic prize due to its railway station. >> you can hear for yourself there's no ceasefire. it's all for the sake of the television cameras to show there is a ceasefire but in fact there's none. you can layer the fighting going on and the snipers working in the distance. >> reporter: the fighting in debaltseve is putting real pressure on the ceasefire. the ukrainian government says it won't withdraw its heavy weapons until it stops. that's meant to lap on tuesday. safe corridor for ukrainian withdrawal. on the diplomatic front one of the main architects of the deal admitted the latest fighting was a great concern. >> translator: it was always clear that much remains to be done and i have always said that there are no guarantees that what we are trying to do will succeed. it was an extremely difficult

path. >> reporter: in russia, president putin met with his security cabinet. during negotiations he made it clear he wanted debaltseve in separatist hands and urged ukrainian troops to lay down their arms. some fear the fighting will continue until that happens. charles stratford, al jazeera donetsk, eastern ukraine. >> the spokesman for the osce's special monitoring ministry to ukraine is in kiev and quirmts confirms the ceasefire has been breached in some areas. >> there were hot spots. we do have hot spots especially around debaltseve and today from 11 to 2 our monitors observed quite a barrage ever rocket fire as you have 80 rockets each every 15 minutes and also their artillery rounds every five to ten seconds.

in lufns luhansk region there were artillery rounds noted as well. donetsk city largely quiet mariupul remains quiet but hot spots still remain live. 19 individuals and nine entities to its sanctions list over the crisis in eastern ukraine. considered russia's frank sinatra is one being punished for russia answer annexation ever crimea. defense minister are also on the list for supporting the deployment of russian troops to ukraine. rory challands has more from moscow. >> reporter: this is a list the eu has been working on for a while now. it has announced that it will expand the number on the black list on february 9th in

response to the shelling of mariupul at the beginning of the year that needed some sort of coordinated response. what we have now are the details, the actual names of the people on the list. we have two russian deputy defense ministers we have two state duma members a singer known as the russian frank sinatra and valeri rushkin as well. the self proclaimed luhansk peoples republic. and militias fighting the ukrainian army, the spar sparta battalion and others, the list has been greeted with a certain amount of consternation by people within the russian government who says that it's

not helpful to the implementation of the minsk peace agreement but also at least one person rushkin has decided that this is a badge of honor. he says he's quite proud to be on this new eu list. >> hundreds of huh gairians hungarians are expected to sign a new energy deal. robin forester walker reports that diplomacy is being met with caution. >> reporter: this old russian tune was a hit for everyone who lived behind the former iron curtain. these days though hungarians have mixed feelings for what russia and its president vladimir putin has to offer on his visit to budapest. >> i think it's not a good idea to make bargains with putin no. >> they need to work together to

get some kind of consensus you know. >> translator: it makes sense to solve our economic and political problems within the european union. >> reporter: putin is not a communist. communism is still a dirty word in hungary and you won't find many soviet symbols except here. tens of thousands of hundred gairanshungarianslost their lives. but they remember the soviet repression and invasion of hungry inhunghungary in 1956. the relationship the a complex one of antagonism and dependency. today's dependency is on energy supply. the country gets 80% of its natural gas from russia, a hither to cheap and reliable

partner and a new contract is expected to be signed with putin's visit. western critics accuse hung hungary of getting too coaz coazy cozy with the kremlin. >> for putin this is important in terms of showing that he has territory of the eu. for orban this is crucial because his political rule very much depends on the promise of cheap energy and cheap gas prices. >> hungary and a half gates the course between east and west. robin forester walker, al

jazeera, budapest. >> still to come in this hour. outrage in turkey over the brutal murder of a young woman sparked days of protest. we look at south korea low birth rate and why the rapidly aging population could pose a threat to the country's economy and we've already had our first upset of the contradict world cup. the west in indies have been humbled. robin has more in sport in sport documentary series... the disappearing delta

continues near debaltseve. libya is in a fragile state and at the root of a turmoil is a political crisis in which two rival governments ever are vying for power. >> reporter: different ideologies and they lack two competing governments. self prepared libyan national army and since may last year he waged a war on what he said were terrorists from sherea. backed by powerful militias and infill traited by regime headed by moammar gadhafi. replace the general national congress which had been elected two years earlier. but after weeks of infighting

the gnc refused to stand down and accused them of staging a coup. fighters known as the shield of libya loyal to the gnc forced the new government out of the capital. then relocated to the eastern city of tobruk and formed a cabinet there. but tripoli then fell under the control of the dawn of libya forces a coalition from mestrata tripoli and other areas, made up of forces from former rebels. in november the supreme constitution court declared the annulment of the new parliament in tobruk. the u.n. and the western powers have backed the tobruk parliament but is pushing for a deal toing share the deposit. already crowded battle ground and the wider regional clash of

interest and the proxy wars are only making that mess worse. the internal and regional class is likely to go on for some time and libya four years after colonel moammar gadhafi was forced out of office and killed is nowhere stable or secure. al jazeera. the u.n. envoy to yemen says he will press for the out offer of the houthis five hours of fighting with forces allied to the houthi rebels who have taken over government institutions in the capital sanaa. at least three people are reported to have died in the fighting. in turkey, a campaign to stop violence against women is gaining momentum after the murder and attempted rape of a young woman last week. the 20-year-old was reportedly
