this is al jazeera. hello, from al jazeera. this is the news hour. coming up in the next 60 minutes tripoli backed militias in libya say they are sending forces to battle isil allied groups. this caused grow for the u.n. to take action. claims and counter claims in ukraine over the city both sides say they were in control why thousands of afghan refugees have have been living in pakistan for decades are being deported. and we look at some of the

most simple, yet innovative inventions that could change the future of healthcare. >> leg yeah is, maaing four years since the uprising that overthrew muammar gaddafi. following ejigs air strikes targeting isil. and pressure is now mounting on the united nations to act. we are live at the u.n. in a moment, with details on that, but first the developments inside libya. >> people in tripoli celebrate as they remember the start of a uprising four years ago that helped push mom mar out of power but more are also angry at the strikes on the east of the country on monday, and marched in support of relatives of the civilians killed in those attacks. describes the attacked as hostile. >> now militia who support

them say they are headed to the city to tackle affiliated groups themselves. libya's political leadership is fractures the strikes were carried out with the support of the other government the u.n. recognized leadership. egypt is calling for a u.n. resolution to intervene in the libya. the military campaign happened after the beed hing of 21 egyptian christians captured there. it isn't just egypt that is secured about unraveling security the european union is planning to hold talks with the united states and egypt on how to deal where groups and be a limping to isil, sometimes referred to as the name diash. >> it is a very difficult situation, so far it has been mainly for the migration roots now obviously there is another dimensions, that should push all the sides inside libya to realize that it is a threat to entire

country. and that would require a joint action. >> france also campaigning for a coordinated international response. warning that if left unchecked fighting groups linked to isil could be at europe's doorstep egypt's foreign minister is in new york, lobbying for support for u.n. backed coalition let's go straight to diplomatic editor, what's the case for intervention looking like any takers yet? >> well, certainly the case for intervention is being put very vigorously by the egyptian foreign minister. who is here in new york as you say. in fact, in the last. minutes i was outside the u.n. security council when a et mooing broke up. just under ten minutes ago. between the permanent five members of the security

council, and foreign minister. and no one was talking to us at the end of that meeting the u.s. ambassador, strolled out in front of the foreign minister as the meeting ended. a little earlier though, we did get sop comments from the russian ambassador. this i think is interesting. and may suggest something about what egypt is proposing. we hear the word intervention, and coalition being used by the egyptians in their earlier statements but ambassador said he was happy that what was being proposed was legitimate, he was then asked would it be under chapter seven of the u.n. charter which is the use of force and he said no, we are not talking about chapter seven, so that's suggests that it is not some sort of formal military action. a great deal of concern about -- among diplomates that this is done in a legitimate way. earlier on, the security council was talking about the

situation in iraq, where, of course isil is also a major problem. the iraqi ambassador to the united nations told me that the way they had done things was by inviting other countries to help them in the coalition, and he said in libya, things have to happen in the same way. >> iraq took a process for them to do the same. they have to do exactly the same process. they have to go through a process of asking the international community to open h. so it doesn't become a chaos. it isn't an issue today of egypt alone, it is more than egypt, it is more than the coalition, similar to the coalition of iraq, this requires a process it requires a legal process that the security council has to deal with. >> so what exactly is egypt proposing? is we still don't know. and i think it may well be evolves as meetings continue to take place we will have meetings coming up in the coming hours taking place between the egyptian foreign

minister and the u.n. secretary general. and after that meeting he is going to be meeting the arab group ambassadors here at the united nations. and in just over 24 hours time the whole u.n. security council will be meeting to discuss those egyptian proposals so i think as time progresses we will get more details on exactly what the egyptians are proposing. >> and it happens to be a very busy day at the u.n., so let's do down another corridor to the security council where ukraine was discussed. what came out of that. >> yes well, the security council has been talking about the deteriorating situation in ukraine for some days now. among diplomates. and they have decided to push forward, very quickly to a resolution which will be voted on at the security council about two hours from now quite a lot of negotiations on the resolution, it is very short. just four main paragraphs to the resolution, and basically

what it does is say the security council fully supports that deal that was done that late night deal that was done that was the resolution on mh 17, you remember that was shot down last summer with a loss of nearly 300 lives. >> thank you for that. we will leave you at the u.n. and head over to ukraine and bring in paul brennen so the u.n. security council supporting what kind out of minsk the reality is not so good is it? >> well, it isn't good at all no. the -- the start of the withdrawal of heavy weaponry was supposed to begin on tuesday, and we haven't seen any evidence of that whatsoever neither side is prepared to unilaterally start pulling back the heavy weapons.

as far as thaller weapons go, and that's something that is not happening. i have to say that the cease fire is being generally on servinged. one is down south. the other main flash point is around the strategically vital town, it is a railway hub, it is wanted by both sides ukraine and the separatists i believe it is vital to their interests and both sides are prepared to fight bitterly for it throwing almost everything that they have in keeping control of that strategically important town. and while the guns continue to fire, i am afraid the heavy weapons are not going to fall silence, and not doing to be withdrawn beyond the range of the front line we heard what they had to say about the minsk treatment. what do they have to say about

it and what is happening at the moment? >> well the president has been speaking with the french president francoise aliunde and with the german chancellor the news of this conversation came from a briefing by the former georgian leader. who is a close ally of the president in ukraine. the take on the conversation was that president was laying out clearly who is to blame for the violations of the cease fire, the implication being clearly that the president blamed the separatists. and according to his reading of it, he said that he using this as a very important political capitol to quote hill. for the pressure to build for ukraine to be given defensive weaponry by the west. now, i don't know how that will go down in the french capitol and the german capitol they appeared very keep, to

not supply any weapons to ukraine, to try and keep a lid on the conflict, and they didn't believe that supplying even defensive weapons would be helpful. never the less, there is still pressure from within ukraine from kiev, at least, to be given some weapons because they say that the cease fire is not work. >> paul brennen wrapping up the reality on the ground in ukraine. >> let's go to nigeria now. it happened at an all progressive congress party rally, in p the town in the oil producing river state. one policeman has been killed. ask madd joins me now live. what happened there. >> well, basically there were five different explosions at the rally organized by the opposition party and then gunfire follows.

the police there are confirming that at least one police officer was confirmed kills and several other people have been injured following that stampede after the blast and the gunfire that follows. that brings the number of people killed so far in three elections to 59. the national human rights commission last week announced that 58 people have so far been killed between the third of december last year, and the thirty-first of january this year. so more expect the number can go up as the elections heat up. >> and away from the campaigning in other parts of the country we have also seen violenced that is apparently linked to boko haram. >> exactly. in the northeast is back again in the limelight following two incidents there. of course, around 1:00 p.m.

local time, some gunman suspected to be members of boko haram hijacked a trick a commercial tricycle and then exploded devices from the vehicle when they attacked. there they -- the chien point manned by these people, and then they explode their devices there. and another device, according to some reports followed immediately after the first twin blasts that happened at that chien point then in the neighboring state by the way and then in the neighboring state, the police are confirming that at least three people died and 13 have been injured when a suicide bomber attack as restaurant along the road in the northeast of the country. >> another extremely violent day in nigeria, thank you for that. much more to come here on the al jazeera news hour, traders are looking forward to getting back to work, as ebola loosens it's grip on neighboring

countries. in uh dee lan soldiers could soon join the effort against isil critics say it would be a mistake. and a big night of champions league football ahead donetsk return to their home away from home to face german champions byron munich details later in sport. taliban bombers have attack add police station in eastern afghanistan killing at least 20 officers. the attack took place in the province just south of the capitol there were two explosions one at the gate and another inside the compound. another suicide pommer attack targeting a police station in pakistan has killed at least seven people, it happened close to police headquarter ins the eastern city of the taliban group has reported the claim responsibility.

>> it looks like early signs that west africa's ebola outbreak is slowing may have been premature. the wh.o. says the number of new cases in sierra leone and guinea has risen. it says 65 confirms cases were reported in guinea in the first week of february alone. zero leyon has 76, liberia which was hardest hit has seen a significant slow down more than 9,000 people have died in all three countries. she is joins us now what i see is that ebola is still here. and the figures so the total focus still has tock on stopping this epidemic.

however, lit be stopped besong partnerships government led communities very enganged in the behavior changes which have to happen, and then the international partners showing their solidarity in all the ways they can. >> do you find the desire is there, the ability to tackle this is there at the moment. >> absolutely, i have met with all three presidents and many ministers in the country, they are dedicated to eradicating this disease from their countries. because their economies have been knockenned side ways. what has really impressed me is the way the communities have risen to the occasion. the people have come forward to volunteer, to be the case files the contact traces, to senttize members of the community about what has to change to fight this disease. so i'm confident that if everybody keeps going we will get on top of it, but we are

still on the last mile. >> what about schools opening do you think that's a good thing, is that prema sure, or something that needs to be done. >> well, i think it probably needs to be done. everyone is very conscious that children miss many many months of school. sierra leone isn't at the point of opening the schools yet. but a number of parts of these countries we are not seeing the new cases but in other areas we are seeing them. so i think it really has to be judged case by case on the best health and advice available. >> i should imagine that the recovery process is as important as the identification process and the medical assistance needed? well before recovery can get any traction, it must be beaten and it must be beaten across the three countries because of the dangers of

things recycling again certainly the governments are putting it in their finance and planning and social ministries as to what needs to happen to kick start the economy and people's livelihoods again and teal with some of the pacic health service and other issue which is have been on hold for example, here in sierra leone a great number people who were positive f hiv haven't had the drugs for months. so a lot will have is is to be done in the short term to recover from ebola. >> thank you for taking the time to talk us through your work and what and needed there cross boarder trade has been severely disrupted by the outbreak. senegal has decided to reopen it's border with guinea, nicholas reports from the town. >> it is a long and dangerous

journey, they have traveled across ebola infested regions carries two tongs of fish. >> we don't want to hear about ebola any more. it has destroyed everything. >> they are heading to senegal where they hope to sell their fish they are not schurr if thatly be allowed in. >> the rout is used by traders throughout west africa, and the closure has hurt trade closing boarders is not a very good thing, you are causing panic, a lot of stress on the economic and people to go through moments of tension so there are also technical reasons to criticize the order closure. >> they say they have put

measures in place to prevent it from spreading but there are no temperature checks here just a request to wash their hands before they step in. officers do a thorough inspection of their load. >> we have seen so much traffic coming through, they are carries cough foe spices honey, fruits and vegetables what they politic are essential goods for senegal. one of the largest hole wheal markets in west africa, scene gal is boosting trade with countries that have suffered loss because of elowell ba. say it is open for business and safe to come here. >> there is no ebola in senegal. another african country that relied on tourism as the main source of revenue. >> ebola is as much of a health crisis as an economic one. even if we get rid of the virus tomorrow, lit tab months

if not years for some of us to get over the loss ebola has caused they hope people won't be afraid to buy their fish. and now ebola continues to spread the risks of reopening it's border outweighs the cost of keeping it closes. at least, for now. thousands of people have marched through the streets of nijere's capitol in support of the country. the rally in the capitol was led by the prime minister and other government officials. bomb yeah ha ram has been carried out a series owe tacks. pakistan is carrying out a mass deportation but many are also leaving because of alleged harassment. it has been an issue for years but refugees say they have experienced more hostility since the attacks in december.

>> you are are watching the al jazeera news hour. reminder of the top stories. al high to the legally installed tripoli government say they are heading from their base to the city to take on isil affiliated groups. the move comes as the u.n.

security council prepares for an emergency session on libya on wednesday. the situation in the east ukrainian city remains unclear, russian separatist claim they have seized 80% of the town, and that's denied by kiev. separate itselfs after fighting for control of the strategic train station. several explosions and gunfire in election rally in southern nigh grayer a policeman was killed gathers in the town. 59 people have now been killed the preehex violence in the country. let's get more from our top story isil affiliated groups in libya. the security samuel has helped pave the way ever the these groups. fighting for control of the country, let's take a closer look at what is going on there broadly speaking between two main militia coalitions.

the more religion lousily conservative but was legally installed by the country's constitutional court. in of those comprise four militias that fight under the banner they control many areas in the west, including tripoli. a second coalition of fighters backed the elected and united nations recognized government paced in that brook after it was forced from tripoli by dawn fighters the country's self-declayed defense minister is allied with 12 militias they control much of the east, including parts of benghazi, and now groups that oppose both coalitions, are merging let's bring in retied brigadier, he served as an assistant secretary of state and was chief military spokes american for the coalition forces he joins me from baghdad, welcome what sort of

battle are you expecting to take place now in libya as those militias move on to take on isil? >> well, the most important thing is you have a ground component represented be i the government backed forces anden a air component which at this point seems to be coming out of egypt, as you said, the security volume that's been created, has allowed groups such as isil, the old al quaida in the islamic to take hold and they have been a threat not only to north africa, but this now starting to alie themselveses with the forces that with see fighting here in iraq and syria. >> how do countries that get involved erupt for example take on isil without taking another one of the other militias unintentionally? is. >> well, i think you have it exactly right p by providing the air support against isil, that could benefit both of the

militias that are fighting against it and unintentionally have egypt take sides sides in this conflict i think the most important thing that egypt is facing they are fighting the western flank of the isil battle while america and the other 60 nations are fighting the eastern flank inside of iraq and syria. >> can they agree on the next stage, we know that egypt is at the u.n. putting a case forward for some sort of coalition, some sort of intervention what's that likely to look like, do you think? >> well, it has been a big concern, because they may agree on the military way forward, but they also have to agree on a political path forward. pilot investigation your words the security vacuum has been created by the absence of governance, it has created save hafen and sanctuary. the military alone will not be able to solve this problem but

the u.n. can do is not only endorse a component but has to be more of a comprehensive solution that include as political sentiments of all parties so that you can have a unified libya that is no longer a safe haven or sanctuary are you saying -- we have seen interventions in libya, iraq, and afghanistan and everything you highlighted hasn't come to fruition, has it? no building up of the country. >> i think it also goes back -- yeah, it goes back as far as bosnia. during the bosnia conflict, the e.u. forces has fought for years and years but it wasn't until dick hall brook was able to draft the peace accords that the military forces then came in, not to create a peace, but to enforce a peace good talking to you, thank you for your time. >> thank you.

will die, so you have to -- in order to be here, even if you die some of them, they -- it is more crowded, one person it will take three four, people it is something very very worse. >> we hope that before we come here. >> believe me. >> because they don't pay any attention for us they didn't give milk for children. >> these migrants are here only temporarily the reception center was not even supposed to be opened yet, it was undergoing a major restoration where it is following it's closure about a year ago due to concerns over homie grans were being treated here they say they are being treated fairly and well, but

never the less, they will have to be moved quickly to other bigger more factional centers conditions inside the center, are worrying. >> the situation is a bit out of control because the distribution of food, of clothes, cannot be guaranteed, there was a number of people, 265 people. that had to sleep outdoors. that some of them still had their wet clothes on, they couldn't receive adequate assistance. >> this year, a record number of migrants have already attempted the dangerous crossing to your, during the freezing winter months, when the seas are particularly rough. and hundreds are already feared to have drowned. >> half of the migrants held here will be moved to other detention centers across the country. but the worry is that this tiny island between north

africa and italy will once again become the first port of call for hundreds of thousands of migrants attempting to perilous crossing into europe. al jazeera. >> the leader of hezbollah in lebanon has called on his military wing to increase it's presence in iraq. he said his faters were already inpsuedorack to fight at the same time, he said the forces will not retreat from syria, he called for an expansion in the campaign against isil to counter what he call add threat to lebanon and the wider region. >> i say to you who call on us to retreat i call on you to go together to syria. we might not have talked act iraq before, we have a modest presence in the early faze, and the sensitive phase in iraq, but i say let's go to iraq and let's go now. >> hezbollah's presence has

come as a surprise to many in in iraq. >> . >> the words come as some surprise to people here, have spoken to iraqi and u. and europe sources who say they were unaware of fighters being in any kind of number, but if they are here, they are likely to be an advisory to the shia militias that are working here. now, hezbollah do play a role in damascus. they are there to protect key shrines there further the iranians here in iraq, have always been a red line, if they get attacked they will have to send in drowned troops. so it looks likely there may well be a small contingent they are not a front line fighting source. now watch all of this happen the shia militias are once again in the spotlight.

united states. if the u.s. led invasion of iraq in 2003. opposition member of parliament was the minister of foreign affairs. and says the current government is making a big mistake. >> we need to go down a different path. it has not taken account of the lessons of history. >> late last year, giving agencies greater powers to monitor people and prevent new zealanders from leaving the country. the chances of an attack here may be low but as they join the fight the danger overseas may increase. >> journalists diplomates who are within the reach of the state, and that reach for example, now it stands very heavily into libya it's president in egypt president in algeria. >> the decision on what is likely to be a long deployment will be made within weeks.
