e. >> "techknow" where technology meets humanity. monday, 5:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to the newshour. [ gunfire ] what will end the chaos in libya. the u.n. recognised government asks the security council to lift the arms embargo. >> we are not at war with islam. we are at law with people who have perverted islam the u.s. president hosts a security summit aimed at

stopping environmental extremism. >> covering up crime for a price. and... >> argentines are braying the rain for justice, one month after the suspicious death of prosecutor alberto nisman. hello. libya's recognised government asked the security council to lift an arms embargo to fight against i.s.i.l. and other armed groups. diplomats addressed the u.n. with proposals to stop the descent into chaos. the arms embargo was imposed by imposed by the foreign minister. he has called for international help to rebuild the country. egypt is supporting libya's

request and is wanting a black i had to fighting lifted. you are diplomatic editor james bays explains. >> the egyptian foreign minister came to the united nations spending two days trying to lobby diplomats on his initiative at first trying to persuade them on abdul fatah al-sisi's idea that there should be a military intervention in india, led by egypt and the nations. -- united nations. he watered down the plan saying he wanted an arms embargo on all but one of the governments in tobruk and authorising support by the country for that government. by that he meant authorisation for egypt's ongoing air strikes. it doesn't look like the security council will support any of those ideas, but the

foreign minister denied the mission was not a success. >> it is not our success that is on the table. the success. security council, and the international community to address the threat. we believe that it is necessary considering that we are the last line of defense against the more violent activity that has started to reach european shores. so i think success is a matter to be determined by however the security council and the international community are to eradicate the terrorists. >> the security council heard from the u.s. special representative for libya. he said he needed more time for negotiations between the two rival governments. the security council looks likely to give hum that. this was not the moment to send more arms our correspondent covered

the violence extensively. and we go to the tunisia-libya border. with the requests of the naval blockade and the lifting of the arms embargo, there's a few that some are saying this will exacerbate the chaos in libya. it will not help to defeat i.s.i.l. and will increase the fighting felt between the rival militias there. >> if you look at the situation on the ground. certainly there's concern. you have two governments. each of these governments are backed by brigades that are loosely connected. some are drawn to either governments for political ideological reasons, others for local interests. it's shifty. there's no army who do you give

the weapons to. how will you make sure that those stay in the house, those you have given them to. also it's about countering i.s.i.l. i.s.i.l. has shown its presence clearly in the east of the area and shown its presence in tripoli lately. namely with attacks like a month ago. others tell you they spoke to different parts of the country, and they tell you that they have a feeling that i.s.i.l. is all over the country and it's a matter of time before they surface, before they counter i.s.i.l. if that is the main aim. whether a national unity government could have a system by which you can use weapons for that fight. >> from the people that you had spoken to you had been speaking to, what were they saying about

the egyptian air strikes. >> well, the reaction to that is polarize said and it depends on the government at the specific time. by and large libyans are worried. the air strikes would divide the country. it's fractured on a tribal political level, and as we said earlier, the brigade. it was a swift reaction yester yesterday in tripoli. they took a plane and went to bomb an airfield in the western mountains, there was no casualties. it is seen as tobruk. libyans are left in the middle. a secure situation is not there,

life is difficult. economic situation is not good. they are worried about what happened. some of them - they were not accepting the fact that the country was divided. >> for the tunisians, and where you are, tunisia has felt the effects of the war. what is their reaction to any foreign intervention? >> the tunisian foreign minister said they were against foreign intervention. it's a concern for tunisia. the border security beefed up by tunisia and al jazeera. domestically there are many problems. just yesterday morning there were four security forces killed in the south-west. an area where there has been a lot of confrontation with one

group. tunisia had one of the largest numbers of foreign fighters. first to syria and iraq and now, indeed - so syria does not favour foreign intervention at the moment. >> thank you for reporting to us from the tunisian-libyan border qatar recalled its ambassador from egypt. there are reports of a row. a row where an egyptian delegate accused qatar of terrorism. all arab league members should have been consulted before any military action. president obama is saying the united states is not at war with islam. but those that have distorted the religion he has been speaking at a summit on extremism. patty culhane reports.

>> reporter: this summit was called for last year. the obama administration said the attacks in canada australia, paris and copenhagen gave the issue new urgency. president obama took to the stage and went to great lengths to ensure that his fight was not reliagean. >> we are not at war with islam. we are at war with people who have perverted it. >> reporter: officials have been careful not to use the words islam extremist. that has some activists concerned. >> we are concerned about the effects and backlash that this would have especially in light of the recent crimes that we have seen across the nation. >> reporter: the white house is trying to avoid muslim communities, they believe that when they are excluded from

society, they will have sympathy. the aggressive government and surveillance after the 9/11 attacks strained the relationship a fact openly admitted here. >> we reinforce the narrative that america is at war with islam, when we appear to environment our own environments regarding surveillance, when we mix surveillance and outreach. it was a decided thing to do. i encourage law enforcement not to do it. >> reporter: i.s.i.l. is recruiting through social media, and if they have hope on who might be susceptible, convince them of the attacks, or travel overseas to fight, they'll have the help of the muslim communities to find them helping to bridge the divide.

well the united states has a military-led programme to begin next month. turkey saudi arabia and qatar are offering to host the event fighting in and around the city of aleppo. the u.n. tries to broker a ceasefire. we have this report. >> reporter: once a thriving tourist destination, this is now a battlefield. in the old city they fight street-by-street. and snipers watch for targets. >> we are here to fight and to prevent the regime from moving towards the village.

this area is important because it is the regime's we are flying. on the out skirts in the south, every weapon used. our main duty here is to monitor the movement of the forces and how they mobilize their forces. where they launch attacks. the mission is to liberate the area of the 80th brigade, moving towards the industrial compound. >> the fighting in aleppo is not just on the fronts it's a deadly battle. each of the battling sides tries to make gains, the u.n.-backed plan looks unlikely coming up on the al jazeera newshour date releases from prison in egypt. now honoured in the u.k.

al jazeera journalists look for freedom. an unsold sandwich gets a photo taken in germany, so someone can come and get it. coming up in sport - the first cricketing world cup appearance - marked with a win, the first in 20 years. first taliban fighters have launched an attack killing three civilians and a police officer. they targeted a market in kandahar province near the border with pakistan. it is one in a series that appears to target security and police forces in afghanistan. just as reports emerge of talks between the afghan taliban, officials - the two sides considering a dialogue to be hosted by qatar to discuss the

situation in afghanistan well an australian who spent five years in guantanamo bay prison succeeded in having his conviction overturned in the united states. david hicks pleaded not guilty to pleaded not guilty a court has now struck down that conviction. >> reporter: an innocent man after 14 years, labelled a terrorist and held at guantanamo bay, david hicks finally cleared his name. >> relieved. also exhausted because it's been a long time. >> reporter: he was in afghanistan in 2001, shortly after al qaeda's 9/11 attacks, receiving military training at a camp associated with the taliban. hicks spent five years in this prison camp in guantanamo bay, before he did a deal for deportation.

he pleaded to terrorism and agreed never to appeal his conviction. in australia he said he only agreed to get out of guantanamo where he was being tortured. the appeal was that the law wasn't a crime when he was imprisoned. >> it's unfortunate, because of politics i was subject to 5.5 years of physical and psychological torture that i will now will with always. >> reporter: hicks says he wants an apology from the australian government for their complicity in the united states actions. >> he was up to no good on his own administration. and, look i'm not apologising for the actions that the australian government has taken to protect our country - not now, not ever.

>> that is the wrong reaction from the australian prime minister. the australian prime minister should be saying we on behalf of the australian government an error - the error was we allowed australian citizens to be taken beyond the law. we allowed them to be tortured. >> reporter: david hicks says he's not seeking compensation, but wants australia government to pay the treatment for health conditions he has, he says caused by five years at guantanamo fighting appears to be spreading in the north-east of myanmar. government leaders are accusing three ethnic groups of fighting the army. a state of emergency is being enforced in the region. government troops are trying to drive out mm d.a.a. rebels but other ethnic rebel groups are fighting the government for autonomy throughout shan. fighting forced tens of

thousands over the border. these are some of the latest pictures of those fleeing the fighting. reminiscent of scenes in the area five years ago, when myanmar's government launched an offensive against the group. >> reporter: thailand's former prime minister has been charged with negligence over a rice subsidy scheme. yingluck shinawatra was charged with corruption. the thai supreme court will decide whether she will stand trial. she faces a 10 year prison sentence if convicted. >> translation: what is most interesting is the court hearing. the defendant's presence is required to decide whether she will require bail or be detained. >> reporter: the former prime minister yingluck shinawatra reaffirmed when she gets a copy of the indictment and the first

hearing is set, she'll be present at the court many journalists in cambodia are resorting to blackmail, and committing crimes to cover it up. >> reporter: often in cambodia what doesn't make the news is more important that what does. many journalists search the country for stories, only to demand cash to bury evidence of crime and corruption. this team of free laps reporters in rural cambodia blackmail illegal loggers. they receive $500 from bribes. six times the average in cambodia. occasionally he files a story. >> to be honest. we are all the same in this country. there are different ways of giving and receiving bribes. sometimes if they are discrete

you put the money in an envelope. everyone benefits from a legal business. >> do you think there's anything wrong with the way they operate? >> translation: we don't bother people involved in legal business. we come in when people break the law. >> reporter: the team faces violence from angry loggers. >> translation: sometimes journalists ask for a little money for food. i'll give them what i can. if they want more i can't afford it. >> reporter: last october a journalist was shot dead while investigating a logging company. he was accused of extortion. tonight he is with another colleague whose car has been smashed by loggers. he got angry because i found them loading wood into the fan.

cambodia's ministry found it easy to work as a journalist. >> translation: anyone can be a journalist. if you want qualified journalists, they need training courses. if you apply that continue there'll be few left. >> the lack of professionalism creates a murky industry when many cross the line between journalism and blackmail. for more on the story, watch the programme on 101 east cambodia's news blackmailers. the royal television society in london honoured three al jazeera journalists who have been in gaol in egypt. peter greste said he was humbled to accept the award as mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed prepare to fight for their freedom two. barnaby phillips reports.

[ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: from an egyptian prison to a gala dinner in london. for peter greste it's been a whirl wind 2.5 weeks. different courtroom prison where he spent last year tempered by the knowledge that his colleagues mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed are still fighting their case in an egyptian court. >> it weighs on me i left them behind in prison. it was a difficult moment for me. we knew it was a possibility. we discussed it at the time. and we all acknowledged that this would be the right thing to do. still, to leave them behind effectively my brothers the people i lived closely with for

the past 400 days was difficult. >> reporter: journalists in britain, as with so many countries around the world campaigned. >> we believe we must be allowed to do what we do ask questions, tell the stories about issues that matter. hashtag that wept around the world, journalism is not a crime. >> it could have been any one of us. journalists are not terrorists. we are there to tell a story, and we do it as honestly as we can. something like that happens, when it happens, every organization they are from whether they are british, they come together to defend a principal. >> reporter: 2015 will no doubt be a challenging year for journalism in many countries.

as in this case it's the sense of solidarity between those that report the news who seek to explain our world. let's get a check on the weather as you may know until midday. and that is the situation because of snow or things are looking like it. >> it should improve slowly. the worst of the snow showers are out of the way. looking at the satellite. you see a little area of cloud easing from west to east. across northern parts of the middle east, that will cause problems. but they'll be elsewhere. in istanbul it caused problems in the air, and as you can see on the road rails and trams. good old dusting across turkey

heavy snowfall in place. things are starting to improve over the next couple of days. wind is coming in from a northerly direction. eastern turkey still with a fair amount of work. and poor weather on the eastern side of the mediterranean. 4 degrees celsius. don't be surprised if you see sleet and snow coming in. it will make its way east as we go on through saturday. we have clearer skies coming back in behind. temperatures around 5 degrees celsius. we are looking at a possibility of sleet and snow pushing across northern parts of iraq and iran. we have an improvement in the weather. across the northern areas of africa. have a look over towards the north-western corner. you can see a fair amount out

latinos view more movies than anyone, going to the cinema once a month. it appears this place does not reciprocate that at least when it comes to casting. on an average year. three speaking roles in big budget goes white actors. as for the filipino talent. try 4%. latinos make up a significant part of the populationful 17%. here in los angeles, the number is higher. what is hollywood's problem. >> they are too white. >> that is the verdict from this long-time film director who says stereotypes are to blame. >> the executives the only relations they have is to their mates, gardener. they have created themselves about the united states. >> reporter: and diana knows

about that. >> gang members, drug dealers, hookers and the maid and the servant. >> reporter: an actress, she spent 30 years on the stage on the hunt for a big screen stage. >> we don't exist in television and films. we are the largest minority outnumbering blacks yet you look for latinos. >> there are some success stories. case in point. the hit movie "real women have curves", this is the latest and this is her powerful message to others. >> it's sad to be the loser in a story. in a white man's story - that's what i teach people to say no challenge the story that you live in. you get to be the loser, takes so much to be who we are. if you are the loser, i'm the winner. for some the red carpet calls

in. for many more it's a dream. and it needs to stay that way, at least in the short term. you're with the al jazeera newshour. here is what is coming up? >> we are not at war with islam. [ clapping ]. >> we are at war with people who have perverted islam. >> after president obama's message, we'll look at u.s. efforts to challenge on social media now you see him, now you don't. the magic of photoshop 25 years after hitting the market? and in sport, an endurance event comes to an end. we look at event in the yukon, arctic. arctic.

the fighters were confident and bullish, there was no shortage of tanks and armous. many ukrainians are forced to withdraw from the donetsk region. >> our first task is to push the enemies back from the borders as they are drawn on the map. after that. >> there was a thinly veiled threat aimed at ukranian stragglers. >> translation: in the near future what happened will happen here. i can't imagine it will happen after that. time will tell. >> reporter: the loss of debaltseve for the ukrainians is a bitter blow. they had invested capital, human and military in trying to defend it. a pal hangs over the town little more than a cleaning of the pro-russian forces. the pain ukranian soldiers have withdrawn.

police are adamant that debaltseve was encircled before the minsk fire and part of separatist territory. ukraine insists that forces flouted the terms of the peace agreement. with the loss to the ukrainians it's one of the last disputed towns has been settled. that gives hope that they can disengage across the length of the front line according to reuters, the ukranian president petro porashenko's website, a phone call where he spoke to vladimir putin, petro porashenko reportedly told them not to pretend - i'm not quoting here - what happened in debaltseve was in line with the minsk agreement that was signed.
